Almost all walkie-talkie radios have a socket on them, into which you can plug an earpiece (or usually, a combined earpiece/microphone).
Every brand and model of walkie-talkie radio that we sell and hire has an earpiece socket.
Different makes of walkie-talkie radio have different audio connector sockets, so it is important to make sure you choose the correct earpiece to work with your walkie-talkie.

The most obvious reason to use an earpiece with a walkie-talkie is to ensure that radio messages can be heard clearly, especially in a noisy environment.
Another reason to use an earpiece is confidentiality: without an earpiece fitted, radio messages come out of the walkie-talkie's loudspeaker and so can be heard by anyone standing nearby.
In many situations this is not a good thing, especially in public events and when the walkie-talkies are being used in a security role. You do not necessarily want the general public to be bale to hear radio messages being sent between staff. Using earpieces with walkie-talkies achieves confidentiality.
