The GME HS010 is a security-style acoustic tube earphone and lapel microphone for the TX685 and TX6150 GME handheld UHF CB radios. A clear acoustic tube routes audio from a lapel transducer to the ear the same discreet style used by security staff, event marshals, and emergency services with minimal visible hardware at the ear. A swivel-style lapel connector, inline PTT switch, and VOX switch are included for manual or hands-free operation. Genuine GME accessory.

Product overview

The HS010 differs from a standard earpiece microphone. A standard earpiece has a small speaker built directly into the ear unit. An acoustic tube earphone routes audio from a transducer worn at the lapel or collar to the ear via a thin, flexible, transparent tube. Only the slim clear tube is visible at the ear, creating the discreet appearance associated with security and event communications.

The lapel microphone element attaches to the collar or lapel and stays close to the mouth for clear audio pickup. The swivel connector on the lapel clip rotates to the correct angle for the garment it is attached to, preventing cable twist and improving comfort during extended wear. The inline PTT switch allows manual transmit control with the radio clipped to a belt or pocket. The VOX switch enables voice-activated transmission for fully hands-free operation.

The HS010 is confirmed for the TX685 and TX6150, which share the same microphone connector. Other GME handheld models use different connector types contact us before purchasing for any model not listed.

Frequently asked questions

What is an acoustic tube earphone and how is it different from a standard earpiece microphone? A standard earpiece microphone has a small speaker built directly into the ear unit. An acoustic tube earphone routes audio from a transducer worn at the lapel or collar to the ear via a thin, flexible, transparent tube. Only the slim clear tube is visible at the ear, creating the discreet appearance associated with security and event communications.

Why is it called a security-style earphone? The clear acoustic tube and lapel microphone combination is the standard earphone style used by security guards, police, event marshals, and emergency services. The discreet appearance minimises visible communications hardware, and the acoustic tube is comfortable for extended wear. The HS010 brings this style to GME UHF CB radio use on the TX685 and TX6150.

What does the swivel-style lapel connector do? The swivel connector on the lapel clip allows the connector body to rotate to the correct angle for the garment it is clipped to rather than being fixed in one position. This prevents the cable from twisting awkwardly when clipped to a collar, lapel, or shirt pocket, improving both comfort and cable routing during use.

What is VOX and when should I use it? VOX (Voice-Activated Transmission) activates the radio transmitter automatically when the microphone detects your voice, removing the need to press the PTT button. This is useful when both hands must remain free and pressing PTT is not practical. PTT is the standard mode for precise transmission control; VOX suits fully hands-free situations.

Is the HS010 compatible with other GME handheld radios? The HS010 is confirmed for the TX685 and TX6150, which share the same microphone connector. Other GME handheld models use different connector types. Contact us to confirm compatibility before purchasing for any model not listed.
