Fitment
The H22 is a universal-fit headset. The 5-pin radio port connects to most handheld two-way radios with the correct Rugged coil cord (Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, Rugged, Midland, Vertex, and more) and to offroad sandcar intercom systems with the matching intercom cable. It is also compatible with racing headset cables that use the 5-pin TA5FL connector. Cords are sold separately. Confirm your radio or intercom connector before ordering; compatibility is not guaranteed on unlisted systems.
FAQ
Will the H22 headset block out engine and wind noise?
Yes. The over-the-head design seats the ear cups firmly with polyurethane ear seals for passive noise isolation, and the dual-cone speakers keep incoming audio clear even in loud open UTVs, race cars, and heavy-equipment cabs.
Is the push-to-talk button waterproof?
The H22 uses a push-to-talk button with a waterproof cover, so dust and moisture in desert and offroad environments are far less likely to interfere with keying up your radio.
What radios and intercoms does the H22 headset work with?
The universal 5-pin (TA5FL) radio port connects to most handheld two-way radios using the correct Rugged coil cord, and to offroad sandcar intercom systems using the matching intercom cable. It is also compatible with common racing headset cables that use the 5-pin connector.
Does the H22 headset come with a cable?
No. Cords are sold separately so you can match the exact coil cord to your radio brand or the intercom cable to your sandcar system. Choose the cord that fits your Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, Rugged, or Midland radio, or your offroad intercom.
How do I connect the H22 to my radio or intercom?
Plug the headset 5-pin connector into a Rugged coil cord, then connect the other end to your handheld radio. For intercoms, use the correct intercom cable between the headset and your sandcar intercom head unit.
Should I choose the over-the-head H22 or the behind-the-head H42?
Pick the over-the-head H22 for maximum passive noise isolation and a secure fit without a hat. Choose the behind-the-head H42 if you wear a cap, brimmed hat, or need the headband out of the way. Both use the same M101 mic and 5-pin radio port.
Why Rugged Radios
Rugged Radios is a trusted name in offroad and motorsports communication, building headsets, radios, and intercoms that hold up to dust, vibration, and hard desert use. The H22 reflects that focus with professional-grade components, a proven M101 microphone, and simple universal connectivity that fits into nearly any comms setup.
Complete Your Two-Way Radio Headset Setup
The H22 over-the-head headset is the talk-and-listen piece of your system, so finish the setup with the parts that make it work. Add the coil cord that matches your exact handheld radio brand or the intercom cable for your sandcar system, since cords are sold separately. Grab a cloth mic muff to knock down wind on the M101 mic, and if you or a passenger wears a hat, consider the behind-the-head H42 headset as a second seat option. Verify your radio's connector type before checkout so you order the right cord the first time.
