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
