3M Peltor
The 3M Peltor Comtac V Hearing Defender Headset with neckband in green is a professional-grade electronic hearing protection system built for shooters and tactical users who need both hearing protection and the ability to hear normal conversation and range commands. This isn't basic foam earplugs—it's an active headset with omni-directional microphones and high-fidelity speakers engineered to let safe sounds through while clamping down on harmful impulse noise, so you stay aware of your surroundings without sacrificing hearing safety.
The Peltor ComTac V draws on decades of 3M engineering for military and law enforcement use. The neckband design distributes weight comfortably for extended wear during long range sessions or field days, and the rugged construction is built to survive the abuse of regular use. The "talk-through" feature electronically passes normal speech and environmental sounds at safe levels directly to your ears, letting you communicate with shooting partners or instructors without removing the headset—a real advantage over passive muffs that muffle everything equally.
Audio fidelity matters here. The improved speakers deliver enough clarity that range commands, brass hitting steel, or conversation register crisply, while the omni-directional mics pick up sound from multiple directions. The electronic circuitry reacts fast enough to catch and suppress impulse noise—gunshots, shotgun blasts, anything sharp and sudden—before it reaches your ears. This combination of active suppression and selective pass-through is why serious shooters and hunters reach for electronic hearing protection instead of passive alternatives.
Tested to meet ANSI S3.19-1974 hearing protection standards and rated for impulse noise protection to 168 dB Peak SPL per ANSI S12.42-2010, so you know the protection level is legitimate, not marketing.
| Product | 3M Peltor Comtac V Hearing Defender Headset |
| Headband Style | Neckband |
| Color | Green |
| Hearing Protection Standard | ANSI S3.19-1974 |
| Impulse Noise Rating | 168 dB Peak SPL (ANSI S12.42-2010) |
| Microphone Type | Omni-directional |
| Speaker Type | High-fidelity |
Yes. The electronic talk-through feature allows normal speech and safe environmental sounds to pass through to your ears at safe levels. The high-fidelity speakers and omni-directional microphones are designed to deliver clear audio, so you can communicate with shooting partners and hear instructions without removing the headset.
The Comtac V uses electronic circuitry to detect and suppress impulse noise—gunshots, shotgun blasts, and similar sudden loud sounds—while simultaneously allowing normal conversation and lower-level sounds through. This active approach gives you protection and situational awareness that passive hearing protection alone cannot match.
The neckband sits around your neck and supports the ear cups, distributing weight more evenly than an over-the-head band. This makes extended wear more comfortable during long range sessions or hunting trips, and the design is less likely to disturb your shooting position or cheek weld.
Yes. The Comtac V is tested to ANSI S3.19-1974, the standard for hearing protector performance, and impulse noise protection is rated to 168 dB Peak SPL per ANSI S12.42-2010. These are legitimate third-party standards, not manufacturer claims.
