Retevis Overhead Walkie Talkie Headset with Boom Mic - Comfortable

In this review the Retevis overhead walkie talkie headset is evaluated as a budget-friendly, multi-pack option for teams that need reliable hands-free radio communication. The biggest reason to buy is the comfortable overhead design combined with a sensitive push-to-talk that makes on-the-job speaking straightforward, especially for users of K head plug 2 pin radios like RT22, RT68, RT21 and similar models. Reviewers will find it most useful where simple, adjustable boom mics and a secure head fit matter more than audiophile-grade sound.

Key Features

• Overhead design: The headband sits over the head for a secure fit that stays in place during active use and is quick to take on or off.
• Adjustable boom mic: The boom arm can be positioned toward the mouth for clearer pickup and rotated away when not needed.
• Sensitive PTT: The push-to-talk button responds easily for fast, hands-free communication without heavy presses.
• Clip wire design: A small clip on the cable helps route and secure the wire to clothing to prevent tangles during shifts.
• K head plug 2 pin: Built for K head plug 2 pin two-way radios, ensuring mechanical compatibility with the listed radio models.

Who It's For

This headset is suited to hospitality, retail, event staff, security teams and small crews who use compatible K head plug 2 pin radios and need a simple, lightweight hands-free solution. The comfortable overhead band and adjustable boom make it a practical choice for long shifts where a stable fit is important.

Customers who require high-fidelity audio, active noise cancellation, or compatibility with non-K plug radios such as Midland models should look elsewhere. Also avoid this if you need a headset with built-in ear seals or ruggedized water resistance for harsh outdoor conditions.
