Motorola PMLN6853A Heavy Duty Neckband Headset | IP54
If you are working in demanding, high-noise industrial environments, clear communication isn't just a convenience—it is a critical safety requirement. The Motorola PMLN6853A Heavy Duty Headset is engineered to protect your hearing while ensuring your voice cuts through the background noise. Designed with a comfortable behind-the-head neckband, this headset is built to accommodate hard hats and helmets, making it the perfect companion for construction, manufacturing, and heavy industry professionals.
Why choose the Motorola PMLN6853A headset for high-noise areas?
This headset is specifically built to tackle extreme noise. It features a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB, which actively protects your hearing during extended shifts. The bi-directional boom microphone is designed to cancel out ambient sound, ensuring that your team only hears your voice. Plus, the large Push-To-Talk (PTT) button is conveniently located on the ear cup, making it incredibly easy to operate even when you are wearing heavy work gloves.
Is this headset comfortable for all-day wear?
Absolutely. Motorola has designed this headset with soft gel ear seals that conform to your head, providing maximum comfort for extended wear. The neckband (behind-the-head) style ensures that the headset fits securely under most safety helmets and hard hats without causing pressure points.
Which radios are compatible with the PMLN6853A?
This headset is highly versatile and connects seamlessly to several popular Motorola MOTOTRBO two-way radios. It is fully compatible with the DP4000 series, including the DP4400e, DP4600e, and DP4800e, as well as legacy models like the DP3400 and DP3600. If you are looking to outfit your entire team, this headset pairs perfectly with our Motorola DP4400e Quad Pack or the larger Motorola DP4400e Six Pack bundles.
