Our take on the H43 Rubberized Behind the Head (BTH) 2-Way Radio Headset

The Rugged H43 is a behind-the-head headset for two-way radios, built for racing, off-road and industrial crews who wear helmets or caps. It pairs a dynamic noise-cancelling mic on a flex boom with a push-to-talk button under a waterproof cover, a volume dial and a 3.5mm scanner/music jack. The rubberized coating resists scratches and is claimed to help audio clarity, and the 5-pin universal port takes Rugged's coil cords plus racing and intercom cables from other brands. It suits buyers who want a helmet-friendly headset that works across several radio systems rather than a single-brand unit.

Questions and answers

Does the H43 come with a cable to connect to my radio?
No. It has a 5-pin universal radio port, and you add a Rugged coil cord such as CC-HX370, CC-ICOM, CC-KEN, CC-MAXON, CC-MOTO or CC-VERT-B, or a compatible racing or intercom cable.
Will it work with my racing or off-road intercom?
It accepts racing headset cables with a 5-pin TA5FL connector, including Racing Radios, Racing Electronics, Racing Communications and Avcomm. Off-road intercom cables such as CS-9-5P, CS-16-5P, CS-3H-OFF and CC-OFF work with Avcomm, PCI Race Radios, RacerX, Procomm and MRC systems.
Can I wear it under a helmet?
Yes. The behind-the-head design keeps the band off the top of your head, which is why it is used in racing and off-road applications.
Can I listen to music or a scanner with it?
Yes. It has a 3.5mm scanner/music jack in addition to the radio port.
How do I talk and adjust volume?
Use the push-to-talk button, which has a waterproof cover, and the volume control on the headset.
Is the mic noise cancelling?
Yes. It uses a dynamic noise-cancelling microphone on a flex boom.
