Ops-Core AMP Headset Review | Best in Class 🔥

John just got ready for his Intro to Long Range Patrol class and couldn’t fail to notice the improvements Ops-Core has made to their AMP Comms system. The gel cup seal, the magnetic induction in-ears, and the interchangeable nature from headset to helmet make it John’s favorite comms system to date. This is NOT a paid advertisement.

Nerd moment time: Near-field magnetic induction means that these are working off the same principle as your induction cooktop. Aka there is a magnetic field created by the earpro and when the small inner ears are within that field they are conductive of that magnetic field. So POWER is literally flowing, wirelessly, from the batteries in the ear pro to the electronics on the inner ear pro! Me: That is some rowdy American, bald eagle, freedom screaming, capitalist-provided, wizardry powered magic crystal innovation and I need it! My bank account: "....no. NO!"

Blanc Noir and you can cut the helmet price in half if you aren’t worried about ballistic protection. (Not many people will survive grenades, mortars, artillery, drone strikes, etc. without the kind of support structure the US military has in place.)

[@andrewdg90]

They are a really great piece of kit. Situational sound and comfortability are top notch! That said, so are the ComTac 6s paired with either the arc rail adapters or the TW detachable adapters. The difference really is that the Amps have the earbuds while the ComTacs only have earplug mode. Great stuff!

[@ErickMarshall86]

[@zenadventurer69]

Interesting tip we received in a tac class last evening that I’ve not seen in a video before and I thought I’d share. Apparently, upwards of 90+ % of people are right handed. Most right handed shooters miss down and to their left. Therefore, as a result, when first moving off the line, always move first (and create distance depending on proximity) to YOUR left increasing the odds that the person you’re confronting (who in many cases will be untrained) will not only short circuit with their target moving, but miss you to your right and down in the process. Not sure of your thoughts, but I found this enlightening.

I returned my first set because of it and the second set does it too. After further research it seem they all do it. I still enjoy them though.
