Kenwood KHS-22 Behind-the-Head Headset

Kenwood KHS-22 Behind-the-Head Headset: Secure, Open-Ear Comms Under Hats and Hard Hats

Behind-the-head band · Adjustable boom mic with windscreen · In-line PTT with clip · Single open-style earpiece · Kenwood K1 connector

The Kenwood KHS-22 is a behind-the-head two-way radio headset with an adjustable boom mic and an in-line push-to-talk (PTT). The band sits around the back of the head, so it stays secure under hats, helmets, or hard hats without an over-the-head strap, while the single open-style earpiece keeps one ear free for situational awareness.

Pair it with a spare Kenwood KBP-5 AA Alkaline Refillable Battery Pack to keep radios running through long shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What radios is the Kenwood KHS-22 compatible with?

This KHS-22 listing is tagged for Kenwood radios including the TK-3400 and TK-3402, and it uses the standard Kenwood K1 connector found on TK Series, NX-P1200/NX-P1300 series, and PKT-23 radios. If you run a different Kenwood model, contact us before ordering and we'll confirm the correct fit.

Does the Kenwood KHS-22 work with the TK-3402?

Yes. This listing is tagged for the Kenwood TK-3402 (and TK-3400). For any other Kenwood model, contact us to confirm compatibility before you order.

How do you connect the KHS-22 to a Kenwood radio?

The headset plugs into the accessory port on a compatible Kenwood radio using its K1 connector, and you transmit using the in-line PTT. Contact our team to confirm the connector matches your exact radio model.

What is the difference between behind-the-head and over-the-head headsets?

A behind-the-head headset routes the band around the back of the head so it can be worn under hats, helmets, or hard hats. An over-the-head headset uses a top band resting on the crown. The KHS-22 is the behind-the-head style.

Is the Kenwood KHS-22 noise canceling?

The source listing doesn't specify noise-canceling performance. The boom mic includes a windscreen for clearer voice pickup, but we can't confirm an active noise-cancellation rating. Contact us and we'll verify the spec before you order.
