Lightweight Single-Ear Headset with Swivel Boom Microphone

The Motorola PMLN6538 Lightweight Headset with Swivel Boom Microphone provides comfortable hands-free audio for compatible Motorola portable two-way radios.

Featuring a lightweight over-the-head, single-ear design, the PMLN6538 delivers incoming radio communications directly through one ear while leaving the opposite ear uncovered. This allows users to stay connected to radio traffic while maintaining awareness of conversations, customers, equipment, and activity in their surrounding environment.

The headset features an adjustable headband that allows users to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Its lightweight construction makes it particularly well suited for extended wear during long work shifts.

An integrated swivel boom microphone can be positioned near the user's mouth for clear outgoing voice communications. The microphone can be adjusted to provide a comfortable position while maintaining reliable transmitted audio.

The PMLN6538 does not include a headset-mounted Push-to-Talk button. When operating in standard PTT mode, users transmit by pressing the PTT button directly on the connected radio.

The headset is also VOX-capable with supported radios and configurations, allowing voice-activated transmission where enabled.

Designed primarily for moderate-noise environments, the PMLN6538 provides a lightweight alternative to heavier dual-muff headsets where hearing protection and high levels of noise reduction are not required.

The PMLN6538 is ideal for retail, hospitality, security, education, property management, warehousing, manufacturing, event operations, maintenance, and other professional applications where comfortable extended-wear radio communications are important.

Important

The PMLN6538 is a single-ear lightweight headset, not a dual-ear hearing-protection headset.

The headset features a swivel boom microphone, but it does not have an integrated Push-to-Talk button. For normal PTT operation, the user presses the PTT button on the connected radio.

Motorola lists the PMLN6538 as VOX-capable, allowing hands-free voice-activated transmission when VOX is supported and properly configured on the connected radio.

The PMLN6538 is intended primarily for moderate-noise environments and does not provide the hearing protection or noise reduction offered by Motorola heavy-duty dual-muff headsets.
