On May 13, 2026, Midland — a brand known for quality and reliability — announced the launch of CLIPTALK, the company's first wearable mini two-way radio, designed to revolutionize the way people stay connected at work and on the move. Compact, lightweight, and effortlessly simple, CLIPTALK does away with the cables and bulk of traditional radios, delivering clear communication in a device smaller than the palm of your hand.

Built for industries where coordination is critical — food service, retail, event production, sports, and outdoor recreation — CLIPTALK combines portability with advanced features such as automatic noise cancellation (ANC), hands-free voice activation, and mobile app integration, setting a new standard for communication and performance. CLIPTALK is also ideal for families and everyday users who want to stay connected with ease during road trips, theme park visits, camping adventures, or even neighborhood events.

"CLIPTALK is more than just a new product — it's a breakthrough in two-way communication," said Jeremy Pensick, CEO of Midland. "Midland is setting the industry standard by introducing a wearable radio you can trust, delivering crystal-clear audio in an ultra-light form factor so comfortable you'll forget you're even wearing it. This innovation opens the door for anyone who values simplicity and reliability."

To accompany its launch, CLIPTALK was named Safety Product of the Year at the 2026 Outdoor Innovation Awards. This honor underscores CLIPTALK's design purpose-built for outdoor users, delivering clear and consistent communication even in remote environments.

"CLIPTALK performs exceptionally well in challenging outdoor environments. It's perfect for a wide range of fishing scenarios — from bass fishing amid engine noise to fly-fishing rafts, where guides can communicate clearly even in rushing rapids," shared fly fisherman David Broscham.

CLIPTALK ushers in a new era of communication mobility. At just two inches long and weighing less than one ounce, it's smaller than your palm, yet powerful enough to keep users connected. Its 360-degree rotating clip attaches to collars, shirts, lanyards, or badges, ensuring instant access without bulky belt-mounted units or tangled wires.

Noise is unavoidable in busy settings, but CLIPTALK ensures your message always gets through. Equipped with automatic noise cancellation (ANC) technology, it filters out background noise so conversations stay clear even in noisy environments. Each unit features an ergonomic earpiece for private conversations, allowing users to communicate discreetly without disturbing guests or crowds. With 121 privacy codes, CLIPTALK also minimizes interruptions, keeping communication secure and focused.

CLIPTALK is engineered for durability and reliability. It delivers a robust range of up to one mile, making it ideal for venues and outdoor spaces. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts up to eight hours, and fast USB-C charging gets you up and running in under an hour.

CLIPTALK works right out of the box with 22 license-free FRS channels, removing regulatory hurdles and setup delays to make it a truly plug-and-play solution. What's more, it pairs seamlessly with Midland's existing two-way radios, building a powerful product ecosystem that offers flexibility and scalability to businesses and individuals who trust the brand.

Beyond hardware, CLIPTALK integrates smart features that streamline workflows. Voice-activated VOX automatically transmits your voice, keeping your hands free during critical tasks. And for the first time, Midland is launching a mobile app alongside CLIPTALK, putting users in control of their communication. Through the app, users can fine-tune VOX sensitivity, manage privacy codes, set up channel groups, and customize settings to fit their lifestyle. This integration marks a significant milestone for Midland, bridging hardware and software to deliver personalized service.

CLIPTALK is Midland's first wearable-style two-way radio and a major evolution of the company's product line. It's designed to meet the growing demand for safer, more convenient communication in fast-paced environments. CLIPTALK's impact extends beyond the workplace, bringing the same reliability and simplicity to recreational and sporting activities at every level.

By combining portability, durability, and smart features, CLIPTALK sets a new benchmark in two-way communication. Jennifer Wilson, owner of Spice Village, added: "Midland's CLIPTALK devices work brilliantly in our store. Not having to worry about a cable between the headset and the radio is a real game-changer. Simply eliminating the wires that used to catch on door handles or cash-register drawers makes these the best products we've ever used."
