Description
Motorola HMN9036A 2-Wire Earbud with Clip Microphone and PTT
Also known as: HMN8435A (updated version of HMN9036 and HMN8435). Discreet pellet-style earbud with in-line mic and PTT for Motorola 2-pin portable radios.
The Motorola HMN9036A is a professional-grade, pellet-style 2-wire earbud designed for discreet two-way communication in customer-facing or security environments. The 2-wire design separates the earbud from the combined microphone and push-to-talk (PTT) housing, allowing the mic to be clipped to a lapel or collar for easy access while the earbud stays comfortably in place. Ideal for retail, hospitality, and event management where a low-profile, professional appearance is required. The HMN9036A is the updated version of the HMN9036, and is also known as the HMN8435A (updated version of the HMN8435).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the HMN9036A and HMN8435A?
They are the same product sold under two different part numbers. The HMN9036A and HMN8435A are interchangeable — both are the current updated version replacing the original HMN9036 and HMN8435. Either SKU will work with the same compatible radios.
Is this earpiece comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. The pellet-style earbud is designed for extended wear comfort. The foam ear cushion provides a soft fit, and the 2-wire design keeps the heavier mic/PTT housing clipped to clothing rather than hanging from the ear, reducing fatigue during long shifts.
Which ear does this earbud fit?
The HMN9036A earbud is designed for use in either ear. The curved ear hook arm can be repositioned to fit comfortably in the left or right ear.
