3M Peltor Tactical XP Flex Headset

The Peltor Tactical XP Flex is an advanced version of the standard Tactical XP headset. Flex models come with an in-built micorphone and PTT (push to talk) for ease of communication on a range of devices. The universal connector on Peltor Flex models allows you to connect, via a Flex cable, to mobile phone, DECT phones and two way radios.

This headset will protect your ears from very loud noises such as gun shots, but allow you at the same time to hear conversations and ambient noises.

The Peltor Tactical XP Flex has a built-in active volume function, which ‘listens’ to your surroundings and adapts to what it ‘hears’, so you’ll still be able to hear what is going on around you, such as warning signals, machine sounds and conversations, but you’ll be protected against loud sounds above 85dB, such as gun shots.  The electronic technology inside the ear cups analyses the information and processes the sound before reproducing it to the ear. Very loud sounds are reduced to a safe level of 82dB and quiet sounds are amplified to an audible level. Two microphones pick up ambient noises and reproduce them in stereo, while sudden noises are immediately attenuated to a harmless level.

The Tactical XP Flex, unlike other models, allows you to adapt the active volume function to suit  your environment. Different sounds vary in character, direction, impulse, frequency and volume. This ear defender uses a digital circuit to control and monitor the active volume function, so you can be sure to hear what you want to hear while remaining protected from harmful sounds. Functions and settings are indicated by a voice message.

Like the ProTac, you can adjust the volume of the active-volume function, but with this model, you can also adjust the balance, which is especially useful for people with hearing loss in one ear. The equalizer function allows you to filter ambient noise so you can improve or cut out sounds at certain frequencies. You can also change the time for the volume function to return to normal.
