The Earmor M32X Mark 3 active headset is a modern tactical solution designed for hearing protection and reliable radio communication in high-noise environments. The headset features a detachable microphone and an integrated TP-120/U-174 (NATO STD) plug for connecting a PTT unit, making it suitable for both shooting practice and real-world field use.
One of the key advantages of this model is its dual wearing configuration:
This modular setup allows the user to easily adapt the headset to different gear configurations and mission requirements.
The M32X Mark 3 is built for operation in environments with loud impulse noise, such as live-fire zones. The built-in microphones amplify low-level ambient sounds, improving situational awareness, while harmful sounds are automatically compressed to a safe 82 dB level. With a response time of just 1 ms, the headset reacts almost instantly to gunshots and other sharp acoustic peaks.
The detachable boom microphone can be installed on either the left or right side, allowing the user to configure it according to personal preference. The headset also features EMI/RFI shielding, developed and tested in accordance with MIL-STD-416, which helps reduce interference from nearby electronic equipment and communication devices.
Its ergonomic ear cups combined with soft ear cushions provide a secure seal and comfortable long-term wear. The battery compartments are rated IP67 for water resistance and include tethered covers to reduce the chance of losing them in the field. To preserve battery life, the headset includes an automatic shutoff function after 4 hours.
The built-in TP-120/U-174 connector follows the NATO 7.0 military standard and is intended for radio connection via a PTT button. The headset is compatible with Earmor PTT and TCI/Nexus PTT, but it is not compatible with Element or Z-Tactical PTT units.
