These earpieces were coloured black and were larger in design than that of Jack Harkness's earpiece, with the name "Torchwood" inscribed on them. Unlike the earpieces of Torchwood One, these earpieces were primarily worn in field operations. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'') Jack Harkness used this earpiece, but later returned to using the silver design while the rest of Torchwood Three used the larger black design. ([[TV]]: ''[[Cyberwoman (TV story)|Cyberwoman]]'' et al) Most of these earpieces were worn in the right [[ear]], although [[Suzie Costello]] used one designed for her left.

By [[ | By the time Torchwood met [[John Hart]] in the 2000s,{{note|name="tw2"}} a new earpiece was used. These earpieces were much smaller and not visible to others when in use. ([[TV]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'') Standard tubular earpieces were also used. ([[TV]]: ''[[To the Last Man (TV story)|To the Last Man]]'') On missions, the earpiece communicators were sometimes stored inside the [[Torchwood SUV]]. On one occasion, when the SUV was stolen, the team lost access to them along with most of their gear. ([[TV]]: ''[[Countrycide (TV story)|Countrycide]]'') | ||
