JSAUX is my pick for a speaker with mic headset used for hunting because its USB adapter supports stereo listening and speaking through a compatible 3.5mm headset. For radio shoulder mics, the HYS offers a swiveling ear hook for private listening.
• JSAUX USB — best for connecting a compatible 3.5mm headset to a computer; pick this if you need both listening and microphone support over USB.
• UAYESOK 3.5mm — best for simple, listen-only radio earpiece use; pick this if you want a soft hook that fits either ear.
• HYS 3.5mm — best for private listening from a shoulder speaker mic; pick this if its 180-degree swivel and C-shape hook suit your fit.
• UAYESOK 3.5mm — best for an earpiece with a rotating hook and reinforced cable; pick this if your speaker mic has a 3.5mm jack.
The JSAUX is an adapter, not a headset. It gives a computer or other compatible USB device a 3.5mm audio connection for a CTIA four-pole headset, which can carry stereo audio and microphone signals. That makes it the only pick here designed for two-way audio rather than listening only.
Its plug-and-play design needs no driver or external power, and the short, 18 cm cable is easy to carry. The listed 48 kHz, 16-bit DAC sampling rate describes its digital audio conversion. For someone sorting out gear for hunting, it may help connect a compatible headset to a computer for communications or setup; it is not itself a hunting earpiece or a radio accessory.
Compatibility needs a close look. The adapter is unidirectional: sound travels from USB to the 3.5mm connection, not the other way. It is intended for a single TRRS headset plug, not separate headphone and microphone plugs, and it does not support microphone function for Apple EarPods with a 3.5mm plug. It also won’t work with a PS3’s USB audio connection. In my opinion, it is the most versatile choice for computer-based headset use, but only if your headset plug and host device match.
How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
This UAYESOK is a wired, listen-only earpiece with a soft G-shaped ear hook and a standard 3.5mm plug. It is meant to connect to a compatible speaker mic or other audio accessory, including some two-way-radio setups. It does not provide a microphone or transmit your voice.
The hook can fit either ear, and the short cord is designed to stay manageable rather than bunching inside a shirt. That simple arrangement may suit someone who needs to hear radio traffic while keeping an ear free from a full headset. It could also be a straightforward kids headset for hunting alternative only in the limited sense of private listening—but this is listed for adult use and should not be mistaken for protective hearing equipment.
The important question is whether your speaker mic has the right 3.5mm audio jack. A matching plug alone does not guarantee compatibility with every radio or accessory. The earpiece is listen-only, has no listed noise control, and offers no microphone function. I’d consider it when a basic, flexible hook matters more than a rotating fit or a reinforced cable specification.
The HYS is a listen-only earpiece designed to plug into the 3.5mm accessory port on a shoulder speaker mic, not directly into the radio. The radio’s speaker mic remains part of the setup, while audio is routed privately to the earpiece. That makes it a more relevant fit for radio-based outdoor work than a USB adapter.
Its C-shaped soft hook sits outside the ear canal and rotates 180 degrees for left- or right-ear positioning. The listed cable design combines spiral and straight sections and is described as Kevlar-reinforced. For a person moving around while wearing a shoulder mic, that cable arrangement and adjustable hook may be useful details to weigh; it is still a wired, listen-only device.
The trade-off is that it depends on a compatible shoulder mic with a 3.5mm port, and it cannot replace a headset with a microphone. The product information advises taking breaks during extended wear, a sensible consideration for any earpiece. In my view, the HYS is a strong option for private radio listening when the C-shape fit and swivel are priorities, but it is not an all-purpose headset for calls or computer chat.
This second UAYESOK is also a wired, listen-only earpiece for a radio speaker mic. Its larger ear hook rotates 180 degrees, and the maker describes the cable as reinforced with Kevlar. It is listed for speaker mics and other accessories with a 3.5mm jack, including models from several radio brands.
The rotating hook offers left- or right-ear positioning, while the soft in-ear plug provides a different contact point from the HYS’s C-shaped hook that sits outside the ear canal. The listed frequency range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and the earpiece is described as suited to listening in loud environments. Those details may matter if you are comparing radio earpieces for an outdoor outing, but they do not make it hearing protection.
As with the other radio earpieces here, this UAYESOK has no microphone for transmitting. Confirm the accessory jack type on your speaker mic before choosing it: this model uses 3.5mm, and the listing distinguishes it from a separate 2.5mm version. I’d choose it over the simpler G-hook model if a rotating hook and reinforced cable are the features you want; I’d choose the HYS if its outside-the-ear C-shape better matches your preference.

FAQ
The HYS is designed for the 3.5mm accessory port on a shoulder speaker mic, not directly into the radio. For the UAYESOK models, confirm that the accessory you plan to use has a compatible 3.5mm jack.
No hearing-protection rating or protective function is provided in the product details. Treat them as audio accessories, not substitutes for purpose-made hearing protection.
None of these products is listed as rechargeable. The radio earpieces are wired, and the JSAUX is a USB-powered audio adapter, so shoppers seeking rechargeable headphones should look for a different kind of product.
My final recommendation for hunting is the HYS when your setup uses a compatible shoulder speaker mic: its rotating C-shape hook is purpose-built for private, listen-only radio audio. If you need a microphone and computer connection instead, I’d choose JSAUX—but neither option is a substitute for hearing protection.
