RUYAGE HB680 Bluetooth PTT Earpiece for Zello PoC Radios
The RUYAGE HB680 Bluetooth PTT Earpiece is a lightweight wireless communication headset designed for Zello on compatible Android devices and selected RUYAGE PoC radios.
Featuring Bluetooth 5.2, a built-in microphone, physical Push-to-Talk button, adjustable volume controls, secure earhook, IP55 protection, and a 170mAh rechargeable battery, the HB680 allows users to hear incoming messages and transmit without repeatedly holding their radio or smartphone.
The HB680 is listed for use with the RUYAGE ZL20, ZL50, ZL60, and ZL80, as well as selected Android smartphones and PoC devices that support Bluetooth audio and external PTT button mapping.
Important: The HB680 is a Bluetooth communication accessory, not a standalone walkie talkie. It requires a compatible Android device or PoC radio, a supported Zello app, and an active internet connection. The physical PTT button may need to be added and mapped inside Zello before use.
Key Features
Bluetooth 5.2 Wireless Connection
The HB680 uses Bluetooth 5.2 technology to connect wirelessly with compatible Android smartphones, tablets, and PoC radios.
- Bluetooth 5.2 wireless communication
- Designed for stable audio and PTT control
- No wired headset connection required
- Convenient for mobile and hands-busy operations
Bluetooth connection performance depends on the paired device, operating system, app version, surrounding wireless interference, and physical obstructions.
Built-In Push-to-Talk Button
The physical PTT button allows users to transmit through Zello without repeatedly touching the on-screen Push-to-Talk control.
- Press and hold the PTT button while speaking
- Release the button when you finish transmitting
- Suitable for one-to-one and channel communication provided by Zello
- Allows the connected device to remain in a pocket, holder, or suitable equipment mount
The HB680 provides hands-free listening and remote PTT operation. It is not completely hands-free because the PTT button must still be pressed to transmit.
Compatible with Selected RUYAGE Zello Radios
The HB680 is listed for use with the following RUYAGE models:
- RUYAGE ZL20
- RUYAGE ZL50
- RUYAGE ZL60
- RUYAGE ZL80
Compatibility depends on the radio's operating system, Bluetooth support, firmware, Zello version, and external PTT settings. Confirm compatibility if your device model is not listed.
Zello Support for Compatible Android Devices
The HB680 can be used with Zello on compatible Android smartphones and PoC devices. After Bluetooth pairing, the HB680 PTT button normally needs to be added under Zello's Push-to-Talk button settings.
Once configured, the physical PTT button can be used to transmit to the open or assigned Zello contact or channel.
Built-In Microphone and Earpiece Speaker
The integrated microphone captures outgoing speech while the earpiece plays incoming Zello messages privately.
- Built-in microphone for outgoing communication
- Single-ear listening design
- Volume up and volume down controls
- Keeps one ear available for awareness of the surrounding environment
The HB680 does not include active noise cancellation. Voice and listening quality depend on the paired device, network connection, app settings, microphone position, and surrounding noise.
Lightweight 11g Earhook Design
Weighing approximately 11g, the HB680 is designed for comfortable daily communication without the bulk of a traditional radio headset.
- Transparent over-ear hook
- Multiple ear tips included
- Secure wearing position during movement
- Suitable for extended professional use
Select the most comfortable included ear tip and adjust the transparent earhook before use.
Up to 10-Meter Bluetooth Range
The HB680 provides a Bluetooth operating distance of up to approximately 10 meters or 33 feet under open, unobstructed conditions.
Walls, vehicles, equipment, people, radio interference, and other obstacles may reduce the effective Bluetooth range. This distance refers only to the connection between the HB680 and the paired device—it does not determine the communication range of Zello or the PoC radio.
170mAh Rechargeable Battery
The built-in 170mAh rechargeable battery supports wireless headset and PTT operation and can be recharged using the included USB charging cable.
- Built-in rechargeable battery
- USB charging support
- Portable cable-free operation
- Charging indicator provided by the headset
A verified operating-time specification has not been provided. Actual battery runtime depends on communication frequency, listening volume, Bluetooth distance, temperature, battery condition, and standby time.
IP55 Dust and Water Resistance
The HB680 carries an IP55 protection rating, providing limited protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets under rated test conditions.
IP55 does not mean the headset can be submerged in water. Keep the charging port closed during use and do not charge the product while it is wet.
HB680 Controls
- Power / Multifunction Button: Turns the headset on or off and enters Bluetooth pairing mode
- Volume Up: Increases listening volume
- Volume Down: Decreases listening volume
- PTT Button: Press and hold to transmit through the configured Zello connection
Some multifunction or phone-call controls may vary depending on the connected device and operating system.
