Ear pro matters especially for tactical professionals working with high impulse noise enviorments - in the L-band for blasts— AMP + NFMI outclasses ComTac III–VIII, Safariland, Walker’s, FalCom and even INVISIO’s best in-ear, while uniquely keeping localization and comms online without wires or batteries in the plugs

The Ops-Core AMP Communication Headset features 3D Hear- Through Technology (3DHT) and advanced scalable hearing protection. For optimal flexibility and performance, the modular headset can be easily configured to meet a wide range of mission needs.

From the most dangerous operations  like building entry, room clearing and breaching, to training to be the best,  elite law enforcement personnel need to maintain the clearest and most fail-safe levels of communication and hearing protection. With the AMP Communication Headset, end users have an integrated communications solution that they can rely on.

• World-class audio quality provides the ability to operate in combat environments
• 3D Hear-Through Technology (3DHT) restores and enhances “natural hearing” of the outside environment for improved situational awareness
• Enhanced Hearing allows the operator to boost their hearing up to +12dB
• Mission Configurable Capability enables the headset to be quickly converted back and forth between an ergonomic headband and helmet-mounted configuration
• Quick-Release Downlead Connections on each earcup allow the operator to quickly configure between single left/right, dual, or no downlead configurations
• Optional NFMI (Near Field Magnetic Induction) Earplugs provide increased hearing protection while maintaining clear communications and 3D Hear- Through ability. NFMI Earplugs do not require wires or batteries. NOTE: Compatible with NFMI-enabled headsets only
• Fail-Safe Communications provides confidence that in the event of battery loss, 3DHT will power off, but the headset and earplugs will still be able to transmit and receive communication
• Ambidextrous Noise-Cancelling Microphone mitigates background noise enabling clear communication. Can be mounted to left or right earcup or removed as preferred, without tools
• Mask microphone compatibility via integrated microphone mounting & connection point enables easy integration with any U-173/U standard plug, commonly found on respirator, gas, and oxygen masks
• Ergonomic Earseals designed for optimal comfort and noise reduction utilizing superior materials

NFMI EARPLUGS*      

The addition of optional wireless NFMI Earplugs provide increased noise reduction, while maintaining clear communications and hear-through audio. These do not need batteries, recharging, or any wired connection. When engaged, the NFMI Earplug will seamlessly integrate, providing unrivaled hearing protection capability. • Do not need batteries, recharging, or any wired connection • The kit ships with standard, slim, and large Comply™ foam tips to accommodate a wide variety of user

Noise Protection Ratings 

Headset Only

NRR 22 dB; SNR 27 dB (H 31 / M 23 / L 19 dB)
Plain-English analogy (steady-noise example): from 100 dBA engine noise, subtract (22−7)=15 dB → ~85 dBA at the ear. Roughly ~35% as loud (log scale), with modest low-frequency control.

Headset + Optional NFMI Earplugs

NRR 34 dB; SNR 41 dB (H 41 / M 39 / L 34 dB)
Plain-English analogy (steady-noise example): from 100 dBA, subtract (34−7)=27 dB → ~73 dBA. About ~15% as loud—and the crucial L-band jump from 19 → 34 dB means far less “thump” from blasts reaches the ear.

What AMP’s numbers mean: Three numbers from ISO 4869-2 / EN 352 that show the headset’s attenuation for noise dominated by High, Medium, or Low frequencies. They’re published alongside SNR to give a spectrum-aware view of protection. For AMP cups only, H 31 / M 23 / L 19 dB; with NFMI engaged, H 41 / M 39 / L 34 dB. That jump in L (from 19 → 34 dB) is why AMP + NFMI is so effective where blasts and engines push lots of low-frequency energy.
