Why Braided Fiber Cloth® for your communications

Redefining your every day carry

In the world of two-way radio communication, durability is paramount. Traditional resin materials, while functional, can often fall short under the rigors of daily use. Enter braided fiber, a revolutionary technology that’s redefining the standards of radio cable strength and longevity.

Protect your equipment with strength

Braided fiber cables are constructed by intertwining multiple strands of high-tensile fiber, creating a robust and flexible structure. This intricate weaving technique significantly enhances the cable’s tensile strength, tripling its durability compared to standard resin materials.

12 Inch

The 12-inch cable emerges as the ideal choice for law enforcement officers who opt not to wear a Molly vest with a single side setup (Left earpiece, left speaker mic, or right earpiece, right speaker mic). If you prefer a high chest or open chest position for your PTT microphone with a single side setup, this is your best option. See the 22 inch option if you are using your PTT on one side and earpiece on the other.

22 Inch

The 22-inch cable stands out as the preferred choice for law enforcement officers who rely on a Molly vest and require additional slack for strategic cable positioning. Tailored to the specific needs of officers wearing Molly vests, this cable length ensures the flexibility necessary for optimal placement of communication devices.

48 Inch

The 48-inch cable emerges as the go-to choice for professionals in broadcasting, offering a generous length for versatile connectivity. Designed with the needs of broadcasters in mind, this cable ensures the freedom to move and connect to devices placed at a distance. (Only Availiable on Our Braided Fiber Earpiece line.)

Reviews

Fantastic

"I am from northern Canada and this was the easiest purchase online. From the time I spoke to J. T. , 7 days later the N-ear 360 Original Radio Earpiece with braided fiber was in my hands. I highly recommend this team."

Original Braided Earpiece

"I used the non-braided flexo version for almost 2 years. Bought this due to the last one de-laminating. The molded earpiece stays in ear a lot easier than the flexo. Should hold up over time due to the stronger build."

TJ L. (5/5)

Great product

"Great product"

Dennis L. (4/5)

Seems to be better quality

"Seems to be better quality than my previous N-Ear products. The wire appears to have a stronger coat around it so it may not fray as easily."

Very pleased

"Hello, I spoke with *Amanda Rust* regarding my ear piece breaking while on duty. Amanda was very professional and helpful with finding me another ear piece which will suit me better for my profession. The Original ear piece appears to be much more durable for what I need which is what Amanda provided great information about. Love your product and appreciate that you have a great team of members like Amanda. Thanks, Cris"

Best Earpiece on the Market

"I have been using the N-Ear earpieces for five years. My first one was the original model. I upgraded to the braided model after our agency got LBVs because of the all the friction and equipment on our vests. After using those awful silicone earpieces for years, I found N-Ear on a YouTube channel of all places and ordered one. Five years later, here is my evaluation: Pros: > Excellent audio quality > No need to clean any tubes or worry about air/dirt/moisture getting trapped in the audio tube > Comfortable (no more ear pain!) > Discreet > Excellent quality > Top-tier customer service (My earpiece tubing cover came off exposing the wire, and the company replaced my whole earpiece for free) Cons: > Audio is really loud, even on the lowest setting, so prepare for that (depending on the dispatcher this is actually helpful) > Plastic covering on the wire does wear out (so get the braided one) > Expensive > The plastic clip it comes with to clip it to your uniform/vest is garbage In all, this is the best earpiece I've ever used. There is a reason I've used them exclusively for five years. I've only had two, and I bought the braided one for its strength. My other one (the original) is my backup and still works flawlessly. I love the audio quality. I love the fact this earpiece is so comfy that I literally forget it is in sometimes and take my vest off with my earpiece still in, accidentally ripping it out of my ear. Invest in one if you have not already."

Good but room for improvement

"The product itself is amazing! Super clear sound and no ear fatigue whatsoever so ever!!! However, In the first week I lost the ear piece that came with it. I took it out of my ear when having to use my AirPods to review a video (MDT speakers aren’t great). It’s probably under my seat blending in to the black vinyl flooring as I’m sure it just fell off for what ever reason. I did order some new ones off Amazon that I’ll keep on hand. I also ordered the metal clip, but the plastic piece that connects to the wire broke after day two."
