Peltors are very durable and resistant to weather conditions – rain, frost or mud won't harm them. The sound quality and clarity are incomparably better than in headphones in the 300–600 PLN range (such as Impact, Earmor, Walkers). You can turn them up so much that you actually hear better than without them, and the earplug mode even allows you to use foam earplugs underneath while still maintaining high audibility. I tested them while shooting a Carl Gustav grenade launcher – they performed excellently. When connected to a radio, you can hear messages even without batteries (though much more quietly). Battery replacement is quick, and a single set of AA batteries lasts several days. The headphones are also very comfortable, they don’t tire your ears – I wore them continuously for dozens of hours. Cons: – price – once, during huge chaos (about 130 people shooting and a lot of action with the radio on), they probably overloaded and switched off, but after turning them on again, they worked fine – annoying cables if you’re not using the radio – the cable to the radio is long enough to get in the way when you don’t have a radio, but too short on the other hand, so the PTT has to be attached very high – a few more centimetres would be nice To sum up: for civilian shooting, this is too large a purchase – Walkers or Sorodins are enough if you want better sound. However, if you care about durability, sound quality and working with a radio – this is essential equipment, definitely recommended, especially for people starting military service. In my opinion, it’s worth spending the 2,700 PLN for comfort and health protection.

Professional ear protectors with active noise cancellation function. The model is equipped with two high-frequency microphones to aid in the audibility of ambient sounds.
The Peltor ComTac VIII hearing protectors protect against noise levels up to 29 dB.
The protectors are equipped with the ability to adjust the volume of sounds heard and conversations as needed. The use of an advanced electronic circuit protects against impulse and constant noise. A listening mode with Mission Audio Profiles (MAP) maximises hearing quality based on the acoustic environment. Spatial sound analysis automatically shapes sounds and helps improve speech understanding in noise.
The wide cushions insulate noise very well. The lower part is profiled, so that the protectors do not interfere with shooting. The low-profile headband evenly distributes pressure on the head, allowing them to be worn for long periods without feeling uncomfortable pressure. The expandable design makes it easy to adapt the protectors to the shape of the shooter's head. The model is compatible with most military helmets.
The ear protection is equipped with a microphone on the headband, so it can be used as a headset for radio communication. After the application of an appropriate PTT adapter, the headset is compatible with the majority of radios used by uniformed services and the army, e.g.
- Motorola GP340/360/380, GP344/388, Mototrbo, XTS5000,
- Harris,
- Radmor.
The Peltor ComTac VIII is powered by two AAA batteries, which are sufficient for approximately 50 hours of operation. Replacing them only requires removing the panel on the side of one of the shells. The device is equipped with a low power warning system and an automatic shut-off function after 4 hours of non-use.
The ear protectors comply with MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461G.

MILITARY is a premium dealer of Peltor.
Peltor is a Swedish brand whose origins date back to 1950, when Thore Palmaer developed the first set that enabled effective communication in noisy military environments while protecting the user's hearing. The company has gained a reputation as a pioneer in the field of acoustic protection and today operates as part of the 3M group, offering advanced solutions for industry, the military, aviation, and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the brand's key achievements is the ComTac system, which has been used by the military since the late 1990s. This solution provides simultaneous noise protection and situational awareness by digitally suppressing high-intensity sounds and amplifying quieter ones. Another breakthrough in the range is the WS Alert XPV model – the world's first self-sufficient protective headphones with Bluetooth connectivity, equipped with Powerfoyle™ cells that allow solar charging. This technology significantly reduces and often eliminates the need for manual charging, offering users even greater independence and convenience.

Great headphones. They have effective noise cancellation, the microphones work very well. They have many functions. They are comfortable, even with the default ear pads. Only the battery life could be longer. I recommend this product.

Peltor is a classic among hearing protectors. They are very comfortable, even during prolonged use they do not cause discomfort, and on top of that, they do their job perfectly. They are definitely worth trying out.
