This tactical hearing protection headset with a military U94 connector is an outstanding piece of gear. The build quality is exceptional and versatile. I was able to remove the ear cups from the original headband and seamlessly mount them using Peltor Comtac arc rail mounts, which are fully compatible.The military-grade connector is another highlight—it’s a true military configuration, not civilian. This is important because the positive audio out and microphone in are reversed between military and civilian push-to-talk setups. Make sure you get a military-oriented push-to-talk or risk hearing faint or no audio at all.I’ve tested this headset in rugged environments, including out on the range and in bad weather, and it has exceeded my expectations. The gel ear cups are incredibly comfortable for extended use, resist deterioration, and hold up well in wet conditions. They don’t generate much heat during use, but I appreciate that they can be removed to cool off if necessary.The electronic hearing protection is fantastic. The communications function works without batteries when plugged in via the jack. However, to hear your surroundings, you’ll need to insert a AA battery into each ear cup. There are four ambient sound levels, and while the lowest level is slightly louder than I’d prefer, it’s not a dealbreaker.This headset enhances your hearing to a level beyond natural ability, making faint sounds clear and conversations easy in loud environments. Additionally, loud bangs are muted effectively to prevent over-amplification.Overall, this headset offers impressive performance, durability, and versatility. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable hearing protection with communication capabilities.
