Opsmen Earmor M32 Comms Headset / Peltor Comtac Killers?

[@KalashmanNC]

Wondered about the quality for years. Could only ever find airsoft reviews. After watching your review I bought a set and I am beyond pleased with them. They really are a solid option for people that want comms capability without paying peltor money. My MOD3s feel absolutely solid and robust and the NRR rating is good enough for my uses. 10/10 would recommend

Airsofters' hands, mouths and ears work the same way as anybody else's, so reviews should have gotten you a similar result. The advantage is that an airsofter probably uses them more aggressively and way more frequently than other people, so you'll also get a review on their breaking points and failure ratios. If you are going to use a $30 Baofeng radio, get the M32s or even a TAC-SKY Peltor clone.

[@KalashmanNC]

@ tac sky has almost ZERO NRR. And NRR is a major factor in why I like these. And airsofters don’t care about NRR.

@@KalashmanNC Then, get a decent radio to go along the decent cans. Also, sim grenades bang for 130dB, which is no joke. NRR is needed. Have a good day!

[@warmachine0962]

in terms of NRR, would you say it is good enough for rifle shooting? Trying to hit two birds with one stone

[@KalashmanNC]

@@warmachine0962 more than adequate for the task.

I thank you all for your reviews and added information. Been iffy on the EARMOR M32 for a while now, but I plan on buying a set this week thanks to this video.

[@m.7n6]

I bought few pairs of the earmor m32 comms one for my high cut, and one for range use and to use under my large ACH helmet. Great headsets for the price definitely like em over my walkers

[@clamum9648]

Really appreciate the video. I want to get some helmet mounted muffs with comms capability to put on my TW bump helmet but as nice as some OpsCore AMP would be (I assume, never used them), I ain't spending a thousand fricking dollars for them. The M32H/mil-pro ones look like they'll be fine for me. Thanks for the review big 🐕

[@Fede_uyz]

Important to mention, these are the m32H version (the one meant to be used with a helmet mount) the m32 have a leather for the diadem and the cable is inaccessible if you want to use it with a helmet, you'd need to cut the leather off

[@PilotPatriot]

These are NOT M32H. The one mounted to the helmet in my video are M32 MilPro , I took the headband off and bought the helmet mounts separately and attached them.

[@Fede_uyz]

@@PilotPatriot i meant the one with the headband lol.

[@CrimsonSpearTactical]

That's not true, latest M32 Mod3 (after may 2021 and not talking about the MilPro version) got a new hook and loop system for the headband

[@Fede_uyz]

@@CrimsonSpearTactical so no model comes with leather now?

Heck, I’ve been happy with the inexpensive Howard Leights for several years now..something like $50-$60 bucks. :JUST ordered a HHV ‘ATE’ Bump and trying to decide do I WANT to “Comms” IT up or leave it bare..as it’s only me on the place and no “running & gunning” group at the moment. Thing is we have a ‘Neighborhood Watch’ here in ‘rural-ville’ Texas, we DO have radios set-up for SHTF, but no current group practice of sorts. I STILL think I’d rather have a dedicated helmet set-up and a stand-alone set. I, like everybody else I’m sure..have seen this done with Walker’s too. THIS far surpasses the Walkers though…Thanks for the informative vid!

can you take the band off and conenct them to your helmet or not

[@brianalberty6940]

We recently purchased 2 Earmor M32 headsets and paired them with the Disco32 Amplified U94 PTT, and were extremely disappointed that while we could hear ambient sounds & others talking when they keyed their mics, but others could not hear us when we keyed our mics. The others were using the Disco32 Amplified U94 PTT's with Peltor Comtacs, so we know the PTT's were working. This issue is definitely the headset. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve the issue. Neither Disco32 or Earmor have a customer service number, so you cannot speak with anyone. You are at the mercy of e-mail... ugggh!!!

[@PilotPatriot]

You should try the earmor ptt. I'm using the earmor ptt and a baofeng. Mine communicates fine with other radios

[@brianalberty6940]

Got a response from the owner of Disco32. Super cool guy with a ton of knowledge... He was able to answer all my questions and even shared that they have many items in the works that are going to provide their customers with really cool options in the near future. So to sum up the solution to the issue people are experiencing when pairing the Earmor M32 headsets with the Disco32 PTT's, is despite what Earmor says, they ARE NOT AMPLIFIED. So, to help their customers, Disco32 now offers their famous and reliable U94 PTT's in a non- amplified version, and VIOLA, problem solved!!! Hope this info is helpful...

[@murzer141]

earmors cant used amplified ptts

[@somewhitedude01]

Use an non-amplified ptt.

[@andersonantonioleivaarguet2297]

I don't know if you fixed it, but earmor uses a NATO jack, it will only work with military ptt with that configuration.

[@Tartarus34]

Is there a 200€ worthy difference between regular m32 and milpro? They almost look same on paper. Also would you choose this over razor or howard brands? Lets say compared to razors xcel or quad muffs

[@PilotPatriot]

The Milpro have better quality electronics, that's there the price difference is. Can't compare to razor and Howard because razor and Howard don't offer communications.

[@let_freedom_ping]

[@leonardoskocic8266]

[@benlyle3593]

Hi! thanks for the very detailed review. One point I can't seem to find an answer to: how do they perform in a shooting range scenario? do they cut enough sound to act as "real" ear protection? Thanks

[@PilotPatriot]

Yes they do! I'd compare to Howard Leight or waller razor

[@justaregularguy3827]

Are the mil pros digital sound or sinialr to sordins or walkers fire max or no ?

[@jhutch1470]

My question is about the PTT. I cannot use an amplified PTT for the DMR radio I am using. Do the Earmor PTTs come non amplified?

[@Sarm-mx6qy]

I have the Earmor M51 PTT and it is not amplified. But I also have a problem with my transmitted volume is very low at the receiving radio. So I'm under the assumption that I might need an Amped PTT!?

[@jhutch1470]

@@Sarm-mx6qy You probably do need an amped PTT. If your headset uses a Dynamic mic, it will need to be amped.

[@AgoristsAxioms]

Can someone help me resolve my issue? I have a HHV Gen 2 + their pop in adapter and Walker Razors. I upgraded the pads which are supposed to have a better seal over ears in addition to added comfort. My problem is that they do not seal completely over my ears and do not provide ample hearing protection, especially at the lower ends. I push them in as far as I can and have no idea how to make them fit over my ears any better. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey did yours come with that rail thingie that looks as if you're supposed to somehow attach it to one of the the attachment points ie; one of the two round things you slide into the rail of the helmet to secure it? I figured out the solid rail piece that slides into one of the ARC rails so you can attach something like a flashlight, but I just don't get what I'm supposed to do with that other rail piece.

How would you place the audio quality for the milpro vs comtacs? Specifically the ambient noise amplification and is it very noticeable when the sound cuts out for loud noises or is it pretty seamless like comtacs?

Awesome review man. With the M32. Can you tie a Phone into them for music? Their website says "Independent 4x high end beats audio speakers for separate input audio device and ambient sounds" I know with my Howard Leights they have a separate 3.5mm jack. I'm looking for something a bit more tactical like these that I can mount to a helmet.. These seem perfect....and affordable. Maybe an adapter for the PTT that would accomplish this..
