Last time, we looked at an earpiece expressly designed to work on the GP340 2 way radio ranges. Now, we’ll be looking at the CP040 earpiece, an affordable and adaptable little doohickey that is amazingly exciting, but additionally does little to break your bank account.

The Cp040 2-pin earpiece is much like the Motorola gp300 earpiece. It is little, smart and inexpensive, however it also is quite good value for money. EarpieceOnline lists this earpiece for about £11.50, however it’s a reasonably good buy for the price.

We will be honest, everything is quite basic on that model, but the device performs its function well and definitely won’t let anyone down.

The noise quality of the Motorola cp040 earpiece is very good indeed and also the PTT ‘push to talk’ utility is convenient and easy to use. As usual, the Motorola cp040 earpiece features a sprung lapel clip that attaches easily to nearly all items of clothing (you may find it a challenge if you’re planning on using it while dressed as the giant Sumo combatant and competing on ‘Takeshi’s Castle’, but besides that…).

As with the motorola gp300 series, as it only features a two-pin plug, an adaptor block might be necessary for use with the GP320 and Motorola gp340 series of two way radios.

The ergonomic D-shaped earpiece itself is comfortable to wear and typically discreet. It may be easily utilised in either the left or right ear, depending on the user’s individual preference. The Motorola cp040 earpiece fits nearly all ear dimensions, so unless you happen to be Prince Charles or Martin Clunes (Editor’s Note: or my Uncle Steve), you should not have too many comfort issues, if any.

There’s no Kevlar cable on this one, yet and it certainly is not one of the best model around. However, this is not to put that the CP040 is really a poor earpiece, not at all. It just isn’t the best.

In general, the Cp040 2-pin earpiece is functional, instead of flashy. It does its job without frills (but also no temper tantrums). This is a excellent, solid product from the business that excels at producing such products. It also provides enormous value for money, too.
