VH-150B Over the Head VOX Headset with Boom Microphone
Over-The-Head Fit • VOX Hands-Free • Boom Microphone • PTT Switchable • Vertex VX & EVX Compatible
The VH-150B Over the Head VOX Headset with Boom Microphone is a comfortable over-the-head headset that lets workers operate a two-way radio completely hands-free. Incoming audio comes through the ear cup, while the boom microphone and built-in VOX (Voice Operated eXchange) let the user transmit by voice alone — ideal for crews who need both hands on the job. It is a genuine commercial two-way radio accessory built for Vertex Standard VX and EVX series portables.
Who It's For
Built for teams running Vertex VX-261, VX-264, VX-451 or EVX-531 portables who need true hands-free communication. Prefer a lighter, low-profile fit? Step over to the VH-150A Behind the Head VOX Lightweight Headset, or pair it with a matching radio from our commercial two-way radio lineup.
Key Features
VOX Hands-Free
Voice Operated eXchange lets the user transmit by speaking into the boom mic — no button to press, keeping both hands free for the task.
Over-The-Head Comfort
A padded over-the-head band distributes weight for comfortable wear through long shifts on the floor or in the field.
VOX or PTT
Switch VOX off and operate the radio with traditional Push-to-Talk (PTT) whenever manual control of transmissions is preferred.
Clear Boom Microphone
The positioned boom microphone keeps your voice close to the source for clear outgoing audio, while the ear cup delivers incoming calls.

Frequently Asked Questions About the VH-150B Over the Head VOX Headset
• What does VOX mean on the VH-150B headset?
VOX stands for Voice Operated eXchange. With VOX active, the VH-150B transmits automatically when you speak into the boom microphone, so you don't have to press a button — ideal for hands-free work. You can also turn VOX off and use the radio's standard Push-to-Talk (PTT) instead.

The VH-150B Over the Head VOX Headset is designed for Vertex Standard portables including the EVX-531 IS, EVX-534 IS, EVX-539 IS, VX-231, VX-261, VX-264, VX-351, VX-354, VX-451, VX-451 IS, VX-454, VX-454 IS, VX-459, and VX-459 IS. If you don't see your model, contact us to confirm compatibility.
• Can I still use Push-to-Talk with the VH-150B?
Yes. While the VH-150B is built around hands-free VOX operation, the operator can turn VOX off at any time and transmit using the radio's standard Push-to-Talk (PTT). This lets you choose hands-free or manual control to suit the task.
• How is the VH-150B different from the VH-150A?
Both headsets offer the same VOX hands-free operation and boom microphone. The VH-150B is an over-the-head design with a fuller ear cup, while the VH-150A is a lighter behind-the-head style. Choose based on the comfort, weight, and noise coverage your environment calls for.
