Rugged Radios RRP696 Plus Intercom Kit with H22-STX Over-the-Head Headsets
Hardwired cabling removes the pairing failures and dropouts that plague Bluetooth intercoms in a bouncing cab. The main tradeoff is costs many times what a crossover earmuff headset costs, and the two-way radio is still an extra purchase.
Good fitRiders who run the same machine with the same crew constantly and want a permanently installed, radio-ready intercom rather than a headset they carry around.

What it does well and what to watch for.
Start with how you plan to use it, then weigh these strengths and tradeoffs against your own setup.
Why it works
- Hardwired cabling removes the pairing failures and dropouts that plague Bluetooth intercoms in a bouncing cab
- Adds a two-way radio port, so the same headsets cover in-cab talk and machine-to-machine range
- Push-to-talk plus VOX gives riders a choice between hands-free and deliberate transmission
- Ships as a complete kit rather than a module that needs headsets bought separately
Watch for
- Costs many times what a crossover earmuff headset costs, and the two-way radio is still an extra purchase
- Coil cords tether every occupant to the machine, so stepping out means unplugging first
- Mounting the module and routing cables is a real install, not a pull-it-out-of-the-box afternoon
