the purpose of both of these units is protecting your hearing in a loud environment while maintaining situational awareness and ability to communicate face to face and on the phone. they both also allow you to listen to audiobooks or any other bluetooth streaming provided you're OK with marginal sound quality. both of them are a huge upgrade from regular ( passive ) earmuffs which must be taken off to communicate thus exposing you to hearing damage. i still use regular passive earmuffs though when i don't need to communicate with anybody or listen to anything as they are cheaper, lower profile and more durable.
apologize for the crickets in the background. those fuckers are loud, but i wanted to use natural lighting. i realize you may not be able to make out everything i said so if you have a question just ask. the Protac XPI is going back to Amazon ( i'm almost out of 30 day return period ) but i will be keeping the Pro-Comms.
Hey Brus, Might be a bit late on the reply but as far as I can gather from the research I've done into these headsets the best option for what you want to do is the "3M Peltor ProTac XPI FLX2", Bluetooth connect to both, if your handheld isn't Bluetooth compatible there's the option of a wired connection via FLX2 port. From my understanding the with the "Pro-Comms" you'll be able to Bluetooth to your phone and use the app as your ptt button to communicate via your phone or to other Pro-Comms headsets but not through a UHF. All the information I've been able to find, which is still a surprisingly small fraction of fuck all has very vague so I may be wrong but I hope this helps. Ardy
Is there any good alternative for hearing protection, listening to music, make calls and also connect to comms? Like if the bose was mating with peltor 😂
@@mrwiik644i don't know what you mean by communications - that would be specific to your application. like military, aviation etc. may have their own standards etc. if you're in a specific field - find out what others in your field are using. generally speaking though you won't get Bose quality audio in a set designed for hearing protection. And even Bose's own aviation headsets aren't really designed to protect from impulsive noise like gun shot blasts or jackhammer but rather simply to attenuate background hum from plane engines, which is very different because impulsive noises require passive physical isolation whereas constant hum can be electronically canceled out. but generally speaking to get good bass there should be about as much volume behind the diaphragm as in front of it - the reason Peltors have no bass is because there is only about 5% as much volume behind the diaphragm as in front of it so all the pressurization ( bass ) happens in the back, not in the front where you would be able to hear it. Bose get bass because diaphragm sits flush to the ear and the entire volume of the headphone is used as the back chamber. Peltors get no bass because there is huge volume between ear and diaphragm and almost no volume behind the diaphragm. electronics / digital sound processing matter of course but in the end physics must be obeyed.

so I can listen to music and if I need to communicate with another person with a headset I can still do that?

Can I connect the protocol to a UHF handheld radio and my phone at the same time

I changed my headband on pro comms to match the protac

And also are rugged and can handle moist and wet conditions
Did you find a good solution?
Nah. Maybe if we got a comment from the videoposter, seems that he had some knowledge.

Litecom pro 3 is exactly what you want if you don't mind the price tag
Less size of speaker more room for the ears
