3M Peltor LiteCom PMR446 Neckband Headset 6-Pack
If you are managing a team in a high-noise environment, ensuring clear communication without compromising safety is a top priority. The 3M Peltor LiteCom PMR446 Neckband Headset six-pack provides an all-in-one solution, combining premium hearing protection with a built-in licence-free two-way radio. Designed to be worn comfortably around the neck, this setup is ideal for users who need to wear hard hats, welding shields, or other headgear while staying connected.
How does the LiteCom headset protect my hearing while allowing communication?
This headset is engineered specifically for extreme noise. It acts as a high-performance hearing protector to prevent ear damage, but it doesn't isolate you from your team. Thanks to the integrated noise-cancelling speech microphone and Voice Operated Transmission (VOX), you can communicate completely hands-free. When you speak, the microphone filters out the loud background noise and transmits your voice clearly to other headsets or standard PMR446 walkie-talkies on the same channel.
What are the technical capabilities of this neckband radio?
The LiteCom operates on the licence-free PMR446 frequency band, offering 8 channels and 38 CTCSS subchannels to help minimize interference. It provides a reliable short-range communication distance of up to 3 kilometers, depending on your site's conditions. To keep things simple, it features a voice-guided menu system, battery status indication, and an auto power-off function to conserve battery life. If you have team members who prefer a different wearing style, we also offer the Peltor PMR446 Litecom Headband Version.

Can I replace parts or upgrade my hearing protection setup?
Yes, maintaining your headsets is straightforward. If your microphone gets damaged over time, you can easily swap it out with a replacement like the Peltor MT7N-02 Boom Microphone. Additionally, if you have team members who only require passive hearing protection without the built-in radio, the 3M Peltor Ear Defenders X2A are an excellent companion product for your site.
