SWAT Communication Headsets

Purpose-built tactical communication headsets for SWAT, HRT, and law enforcement special operations. First Source Wireless carries 3M Peltor ComTac series headsets — the standard in military and law enforcement tactical comms — with configurations for ACH helmet mounts, neckband wear, single-comm, and dual-comm setups.

Why SWAT Teams Choose 3M Peltor ComTac

The ComTac series was engineered from the ground up for high-threat, close-quarters environments where communication clarity and hearing protection are both mission-critical. Key capabilities include:

• Level-dependent hearing protection — Suppresses impulse noise (gunfire, breaching) while amplifying ambient sound so operators can hear commands and threats without removing the headset.
• Dual-comm capability — Simultaneous connection to two radio networks; critical for multi-channel SWAT operations (command net + tactical net).
• ACH / ARC rail compatibility — Mounts directly to Advanced Combat Helmets via ARC rails; no additional hardware required for most ballistic helmet systems.
• Neckband configuration — Low-profile neckband option for operators who need full head mobility or are wearing non-ARC helmets.
• Coyote Brown & Foliage Green colorways — Available in tactical color options to match unit gear standards.
• Robust construction — Built to withstand the physical demands of dynamic entry, vehicle operations, and extended field use.

Configuration Comparison

Choosing the Right Configuration for Your Team

• Helmet-mounted operations (ARC rails) — Choose any ComTac III ACH or SWAT-TAC III ACH variant. Confirm your helmet has ARC rail compatibility before ordering.
• No helmet / plainclothes / vehicle ops — Neckband configuration keeps the headset secure without a helmet and allows full head mobility.
• Multi-channel operations (command + tactical nets) — Dual comm is required. Single comm is suitable for single-net operations only.
• Discreet in-ear comms + hearing protection — The ComTac IV Hybrid is the only option in this collection combining both; contact us for current-gen ComTac V/VI hybrid availability.
• Unit color standards — Coyote Brown is the most widely stocked; Foliage Green and OD Green are available in select ACH configurations.
