Until May 2024, only a few wireless audio accessories were available in the Anico webshop. However, in May, a turning point came when we met a company specializing in Bluetooth accessories—Dellking—at a radio exhibition in Dubai.
Founded in 2005, Dellking Industrial CO., LTD is a professional, high-tech company specializing in the development, manufacturing, sales, and service of Bluetooth communication systems and devices. The company has extensive technical expertise and application experience in wireless communication equipment for public safety, police, criminal investigations, and anti-drug units. Additionally, Dellking-branded Bluetooth devices can serve hobby-level communications or general work needs.
After returning to Budapest from this meeting, we acquired a variety of models for testing. Following these tests, we were pleased to confirm that all accessories are of excellent quality, have great sound, and meet their specifications, which is crucial when bringing Chinese-made Bluetooth accessories to market.
After thorough testing, we’ve added many fantastic Bluetooth devices to our range over the past few weeks. We aimed to select items based on user experience, testing, and implementing devices that would meet the needs of a wide variety of users. So, what are these new products?
Let’s take a look at the new Bluetooth accessories!
Handheld Microphones and Speaker Mics, Traditional and Bone Conduction Headsets, hidden headset, Bluetooth Adapters, and last but not least a wireless PTT button that can work with almost all Dellking products.
Here’s the range:
Bluetooth Handheld Microphone / Speaker Mic
The Dellking H3 and Dellking H4 speaker mics are now available on the Anico webshop. A key feature of these Bluetooth handhelds is their high volume, making even relatively quiet radios suitable for industrial use. They connect not only to handheld radios but also work well with PoC apps on smartphones, offering an excellent alternative when paired with such a handheld. With IP protection, they can be worn confidently on work attire in industrial settings.
The Dellking H3 is a robust handheld with one PTT button, while the Dellking H4 is slightly slimmer and offers two PTT buttons. This allows users to connect both a PoC radio and another DMR radio and use them separately with independent PTT buttons.
Bluetooth Earpieces and Headsets
In addition to in-ear headsets, new bone conduction earpieces have also arrived, with two models available. The main advantage of bone-conduction audio products is that they do not block your ears, so you are not blocking the outside world. The device directs the sound directly into the skull bone in front of your ear, so you will hear the sounds around you while using the headset.
These are ideal for sports, driving, or dispatcher use, providing superior comfort, compared to traditional headsets. The Dellking DP6 bone conduction headset can pair with multiple devices simultaneously and allows two DP6 headsets to function as InterCom within 100 meters.
These headsets also have a PTT button, since they were designed specifically for radios. They can control PoC radios, PoC apps, or Bluetooth-enabled DMR radios, making them more than just phone accessories.
For fans of acoustic tube earpieces, there’s the Dellking H1 Bluetooth adapter. We call it an adapter because only the microphone is built-in, but the 3.5 mm audio jack allows users to connect any compatible earphone or headset. The base package includes an acoustic earpiece, which can be swapped, so the headset can be handed off to colleagues who can connect their own earpieces.
If you’re looking for something stylish and straightforward, the Dellking E6 Bluetooth PTT earpiece is for you. Similar in design to the Apple Airpods. The case also doubles as a charger, the stem has a taptic button on the stem instead of physical buttons, making it easy to control certain functions of your mobile phone or walkie-talkie. Paired with the Dellking BTR-001 Bluetooth PTT ring button, it becomes a sleek and comfortable work tool.
Earphones are available in an extremely small and special version. The Dellking E8 Bluetooth hidden/spy earpiece works similarly to a hearing aid. The microphone is included in the neck-mounted external antenna unit, so the earpiece can communicate without being noticed through the neck-mounted receiver, so there are no cables to interfere either. Of course, the Dellking BTR-001 finger Bluetooth PTT button can also be a useful addition if the user wants to switch their mobile phone or transceiver to on-air mode without being noticed.
Bluetooth Finger PTT Button
The Dellking BTR-001 finger Bluetooth PTT button can also be connected to other Dellking devices for convenient control of all headsets. This small finger PTT device is particularly useful when riding a motorbike or bicycle with the Dellking DK10 Bluetooth motorcycle helmet, or even when driving a car. It is an excellent solution for those who have both hands occupied while working or doing hobbies and cannot reach for the Bluetooth accessory to press the PTT button.
Why is a finger-mounted PTT button useful?
-
Convenience: The finger PTT button allows users to switch quickly between talking and listening without changing hand positions, which is valuable when hands are occupied.
-
Quick response time: Finger movements are fast and precise, allowing immediate control over communication, which could be crucial in certain situations.
-
Multitasking support: The button lets users communicate while performing other tasks, ideal for soldiers, police officers, firefighters, or construction workers.
-
Ergonomics: Ergonomically designed, these buttons remain comfortable for extended use.
Bluetooth Adapters / Dongles
For users of older radios without Bluetooth, we’ve included three audio adapters in our portfolio. These adapters make your radio Bluetooth compatible.
The Dellking BTD6800-K Bluetooth audio adapter is compatible with Kenwood radios, the Dellking BTD6800-M1 adapter fits Motorola M1 radios, like Motorola XT420, DP1400, and R2, and the Dellking BTD3000 adapter works with the popular Motorola DP2400 radio.
The Future of Bluetooth Accessories in the Radio Sector
In summary, the popularity of Bluetooth radio accessories has increased significantly in recent years. Bluetooth radios enable users to communicate wirelessly, a significant advantage for professional and industrial users such as security services, logistics workers, or event organizers. Bluetooth headsets and microphones paired with radios offer convenient usage with unrestricted movement.
These accessories allow radios to connect with various Bluetooth devices, such as headsets, car speakers, or specialized earpieces. This technology has become popular among users who need to use radios in diverse situations. Bluetooth accessories are easy to pair with radios, making operation quick and simple. Accessories like Bluetooth microphones and speakers enhance communication and improve everyday usability.
During extended use, cables can often be cumbersome. Bluetooth accessories reduce this issue, particularly beneficial for users in motion, such as at construction sites, logistics centers, or outdoor events.
As technology continues to advance, Bluetooth radio accessories are expected to become even more popular due to their ease of use, flexibility, and wireless benefits.
