The 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI features new omni-directional microphones, high-fidelity speakers, and a redesigned digital signal processor that significantly improves overall sound quality. The result is a more natural-sounding headset with voice and sound clarity purpose-built for combat and combat support operations in complex acoustical environments.
Clear, Natural Sound
Advanced DSP improvements deliver a more natural listening experience — voice clarity and sound fidelity designed for the demands of modern combat operations.
Hear and Be Heard
The redesigned transmit microphone is embedded with patented 3M closed-cell foam, delivering improved noise-cancelling transmission in high-noise and high-wind environments while enhancing dust and water ingress protection.
Environmental Listening (Talk-Through)
The level-dependent digital audio circuit allows safe ambient sounds to bypass hearing protection electronically. External sounds are received, processed, and delivered to the speaker — harmful noise levels are compressed while weak sounds are amplified to an audible level.
Auditory Situational Awareness
The ComTac VI is engineered to support all critical components of warfighter situational awareness:
Sound Detection
Sound Identification
Sound Localization
Speech Communications
MAP Function — Advanced Ambient Listening
The MAP (Mission Adjustable Profile) function provides a new way to configure auditory settings for your mission. Unlike traditional headsets with a fixed frequency response, MAP offers five advanced ambient listening modes with frequency shaping — each profile designed with specific combat and combat support operations in mind. Operators can fine-tune gain settings and frequency response to match their environment, not just adjust volume.
NIB — Near-field Independent Bluetooth
NIB enables short-range, headset-to-headset communication in high-noise environments without an external communications radio. Key capabilities include:
Up to 4 team members speaking simultaneously
Over 60 people within a 10-meter radius can listen at any given time
Voice-activated (VOX) or push-to-talk (PTT) audio transmit
Adaptive VOX threshold — automatically adjusts to ambient noise levels
Tactile button on the left ear cup to toggle NIB on/off or switch between VOX and PTT

Spending hot summer days in the sun shooting with traditional ear pro over my ears was getting a bit uncomfortable. Having used Silynx in the past and knew about their in-ear headsets, I unintentionally stumbled on a non-comms version, which was exactly what I needed. I love the leak testing feature - takes some getting used to but will guarantee you'll be protected on the first shot.
They were out of the comtac V so they gave me the comtac Viii and I asked for quicker shipping as well and it got here in two days they’re great work great you get what you pay for
First things first,First Source Wireless is AMAZING. The customer service is as good as you can get. 3M tech support also incredible. No waiting, call talk to person, no switching, they listen and fix! The Headset works Great !!!
First Source Wireless, are Amazing! They went way above and beyond. Customer service is Excellent. 3M cheaped out and didnt include their proprietary charge cord. First Source found a cord and got it to me fast.
My $1200 headset was useless without it. 3M =Fail, First Source= WIN
