3M Peltor LiteCom PMR446 Headset | Built-In Two-Way Radio
Welcome to the ultimate solution for communicating safely in loud workspaces. If you are struggling to hear your team over heavy machinery or industrial noise, the 3M Peltor LiteCom PMR446 Headset is designed specifically for you. This high-performance hearing protector features a built-in two-way radio, allowing you to communicate seamlessly without ever needing to remove your ear protection.
How does the 3M Peltor LiteCom protect my hearing while keeping me connected?
In high-noise environments, removing your ear defenders even for a second can cause permanent hearing damage. This headset solves that problem by integrating an 8-channel PMR446 radio directly into the ear cups. You can communicate cable-free with other LiteCom headsets or standard PMR446 walkie-talkies on the exact same frequency. Plus, the noise-cancelling electret microphone actively filters out loud background noises, ensuring your voice is transmitted clearly to your team.
Is this headset easy to use when my hands are full?
Absolutely. The LiteCom headset features Voice Operated Transmission (VOX), which means the microphone automatically opens the channel as soon as you start speaking. This provides a completely hands-free communication experience, allowing you to keep working safely and efficiently. It also includes a voice-guided menu system, so you can adjust your settings without taking the headset off. If you ever need to replace or upgrade your microphone, this headset pairs perfectly with the Peltor MT7N-02 Boom Microphone.
What are the key technical specifications?
Built for durability and long shifts, this headset offers up to 20 hours of operating time on just two AA batteries. It also features an auto power-off function to preserve battery life when not in use. Here is a quick breakdown of the core specifications:
- Frequencies: 8 PMR446 channels with 38 CTCSS subchannels
- Range: Up to 3 km (depending on terrain and conditions)
- Battery Life: Up to 20 hours (using 2x AA alkaline or NiMH batteries)
- Weight: 394g (headband version)
- Microphone: Noise-cancelling Electret (MT53)
Are there other hearing protection options available?
If you require standard, high-quality hearing protection without the built-in two-way radio functionality, we highly recommend checking out the 3M Peltor Ear Defenders X2A for excellent passive noise attenuation.
