Peltors are indestructible; they're not afraid of rain, frost, or mud. The quality and clarity of sound are incomparable with headphones costing 300~600 PLN (Impacts, Earmors, Walkers, etc.). You can turn them up loud enough to hear more than you would normally. At the same time, they have an earplug mode that amplifies so much that you can wear foam earplugs underneath and still hear everything. I tested them while firing a Carl Gustav grenade launcher—they handle it. When connected to a radio, you can hear communication in the headphones even without batteries (just much quieter). Batteries are quickly replaceable, but with AA batteries they still last several days. The headphones themselves are also very comfortable, my ears didn’t get tired, I wore them for dozens of hours at a time without a break. Downsides: - Price - Once, during heavy chaos when about 130 rifles were firing and a lot was happening with a connected radio, they seemed to overload and turned off; I immediately turned them back on and they kept working. - If you’re not using the radio, the cables can be pretty annoying. - The radio cable is long enough to be annoying without a radio because there's nowhere to stow it, but at the same time, it’s short enough that PTT has to be clipped high near your head—it could be a few centimeters longer. In summary, if you only need them for civilian shooting, it's not worth overspending. Walkers are enough, or Sordins (if you want better sound quality). If you care about sound quality and need something indestructible, with the additional possibility to work with a radio, these headphones are a "must-have" and “you’ll be satisfied.” If you’re starting a military service adventure, I recommend investing in them; it's worth paying the 2700 PLN for health and comfort.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Peltor.
Peltor is a Swedish brand founded in 1950 by Thore Palmaer, considered a pioneer in the field of hearing protection. Initially, he created the first set of headphones that enabled communication in noisy military environments while protecting the operator's hearing. Peltor is now part of the 3M group and provides specialist solutions for industry, the armed forces, aviation, and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the brand's most important innovations is the ComTac system, used by the armed forces since the late 1990s, which protects hearing while maintaining awareness of the surroundings through digital noise cancellation and amplification of quiet sounds. Another groundbreaking product is the WS Alert XPV, the world's first self-charging Bluetooth safety headphones that recharge with solar energy thanks to Powerfoyle™ technology. This solution greatly reduces or completely eliminates the need for manual charging.

Very good headphones. Really good noise cancellation, the microphones work great. Lots of functions. Comfortable even with standard ear pads. The declared battery life is a bit short. I recommend them.
