The Best CP040 earpiece

Previously, we checked out an earpiece specifically designed to use with the Motorola gp340 2 way radio series. This time, we will be investigating the CP040 earpiece, an affordable and versatile little doohickey that is amazingly exciting, but also does little to break your bank account.

The Motorola cp040 earpiece is much like the GP300 earpiece. It’s tiny, smart and cheap, but it also represents pretty good value for money. EarpieceOnline lists this earpiece for about £11.50, however it’s a pretty good deal for the cost.

We’ll be candid, everything is pretty essential on this model, however the earpiece performs its function well and definitely will not let anybody down.

The noise quality of this Cp040 2-pin earpiece is excellent indeed and also the PTT ‘push to talk’ utility is handy and easy to use. As usual, the Motorola cp040 earpiece features a sprung clothing clip that attaches easily to nearly all items of clothes (you may find it a problem if you’re planning on using it while dressed as a giant Sumo wrestler and competing on ‘Takeshi’s Castle’, but apart from that…).

As on the gp300 series, as it only features a 2-pin plug, an adaptor block will be required to be used with the Motorola gp320 and Motorola gp340 series of 2 way radios.

The ergonomic D-shaped earpiece itself is comfortable to wear and generally inconspicuous. It may be effortlessly used in either the left or right ear, depending on one’s own liking. The Motorola cp040 earpiece fits most ear sizes, so if you happen to be Prince Charles or Martin Clunes (Editor’s Note: or my Uncle Dave), you shouldn’t have many comfort issues, if any.

There’s no Kevlar cable on this one, though but it certainly isn’t one of the best model around. Still, this is not to say that the CP040 is a substandard earpiece, not at all. It just isn’t the best.

Overall, the CP040 earpiece is practical, instead of flashy. It does its job with no frills (but also no temper tantrums). This is a fine, trustworthy product from a team that excels at making such products. It also provides great value for money, too.
