PELTOR ComTac VII; World's 1st WIRELESS tactical headset!!!

[@Ahmaurnamu]

I like that personal comms secretary comment lol, now just give her a voice like Edi and we gucci for a comtac X 😂 love my VIs though.

[@daftpowe2362]

Having comms while keeping our hands on the rifle and having team proximity comms sounds like a high-speed dream. If the budget is there I don't see any reason not to want something like that. Great video 🪖

[@ReconBrothers]

@@daftpowe2362 It is and it works flawlessly too. Thanks for the comment, appreciate it! 🙏

[@timodaems8947]

Well... I guess it's time to start saving up 🤣. Very informative video guys! You keep improving everytime 😁 keep it up

[@ReconBrothers]

Haha, there are still cheaper alternatives to turn too that would do the job well, you know. But this one is some cool stuff for sure. The price of the system might even drop at some point (who knows) as it gets more common. We'll keep going!

[@plproductions8887]

Will there be a comparison video between these and the ops core amp?

[@ReconBrothers]

Hi, we're not planning on that. We've sold the Ops-Core amp for a while when we were still in Belgium and almost all devices got returned due to malfunctions. We're very skeptical about Ops-core products in general.

[@plproductions8887]

@@ReconBrothers ok thank you there’s so many different options out there and not a lot talk about the negatives of them or the poor experiences.

[@Ahmaurnamu]

@@plproductions8887 Amps are great with nfmi and if they work. The problem with them are the failure points like the mic, the amp arms where they attach to the helmet, the springs being too strong they want to pop out of the gimbals where they are attached to the headset, if using peltors on amp arms the spring tension is too strong squishing your gel cups, general headset sounds like hissing and static, last but not least its corrosion especially when your in a very hot and humid environment say the pacific. A lot of amps have been rma’d for such cases. If you want peltors buy Vs, if your guys have VI or VII buy VIs for the NIB and MAP. People still run IIIs to this day!

[@ReconBrothers]

@plproductions8887 Yes, exactly! The thing is that each of these products are expensive and aqcuiring them all + testing them and than having the tools to make videos about them costs a lot of time and money. Biggest disadvantage of the ComTac VII is its runtime and cost. ComTac XPI's began having issues with their motherboards lately but are now replaced by the ComTac VIII. With Sordin we have the least warranty cases thus far, but they have the least features. That's pretty much our general experience thus far.

[@kyvmp]

Walther PDP 🔥

[@ReconBrothers]

Yup, absolutely solid pistol! You get sooo much more for the same price as a Glock.

[@TTRonin]

Hmmm is there any point in buying XPI's now? I heard they are discontinued anyways. There's also so little reviews and information availabe on 8's, so i don't what to think of those. The Germans ordered like 191k of them so i guess they are a worthy upgrade from xpi's.

[@ReconBrothers]

They're indeed discontinued and are replaced by the ComTac VIII now. It's also known that the latest ComTac XPI's had issues with their motherboards which does give them another year of extra warranty, but we're not sure how PELTOR will replace them when there's a warranty issue. So, we can only recommend to not buying those any longer.

[@TTRonin]

@@ReconBrothers Thanks for the info brother. It's appreciated!

[@sxge9909]

XPIs are still being replaced under warranty with XPIs. ^Fabian from CHC ;) ​@@ReconBrothers

[@ReconBrothers]

Okay, good to know & thanks for pointing this out!

[@prinz_potatoe3639]

The wireless connection will be jammed by electronic warfare rendering it useless. Even HF radios have there troubles right now. I rather have the ginormous pain of dealing with a bunch of wires that actually work than paying 2-3k on a system that can do all these cool things on the range and in my bedroom but leave me when my life depends on it. The review was good and I appreciate you doing the hard work of doing all the testing for us!

[@arog7493]

Wouldn't the actual radio you're communicating with also be jammed in the event of any electronic warfare/jamming? So what difference would it make?

[@ReconBrothers]

Both very solid points, but you also have to realize there are far more applications than just all out grand-scale warfare. There are far more direct action operations being done by units against criminals, terrorists and what not where such jamming risks are not applicable. This technology could make the work of such guys easier and less problematic, especially in confined space missions. Plus, in case of actual jamming, there's always ways of signaling to fall back to.

[@MrSwccguy]

Lmao you're du mb as fq You aren't wearing these as a civilian in a warzone😂 get your dumb shtf dream outta here

[@daftpowe2362]

The terrorists some of us fight don't have any electronic warfare, so these do have a place :)

[@kristofdemuynck7876]

i have them with the downlead best headset i ever owned even more advanced then the xpi

[@ReconBrothers]

@@kristofdemuynck7876 Yup 😏

[@epicw0rld]

It's just the gun or did you load random dummy rounds in your mag to practice malfunction muscle memory? 😮

[@ReconBrothers]

It's with dummy rounds. We've never had a single malfunction with these pistols yet and are nearing 2000 rounds with each. 💪

[@xty2605]

little bit over kill, I would just go with AMPS at that price range, and remote ptt on your rifle is kinda nuts.

[@ReconBrothers]

Yeah, depends on what you need and the PTT on the rifle is a massive help. However as for AMPs, we don't like them, we sold them for 6 months and all came back with issues.

[@jacobwick2549]

Bro they already on an 8. They are releasing these like fucking iPhones. I had no clue about an 8

[@ReconBrothers]

Pretty much yeah. Though, the 8 is less advanced and more meant to replace the XPI.

[@ReconB4V]

Because I want to carry more batteries than I already have to. 😂

[@ReconBrothers]

Haha exactly! 😂 Not sure why they can't increase this for the ComTac VIII given that it has so much less features.

[@budprepper3811]

2 - 3,000 dollars!!?? Who's their target market? Must be the US govt. Along with their $2,000 hammers

[@ReconBrothers]

Well, PELTOR their main market are governments, so actually yes.

[@MrSwccguy]

Yes Lmao

[@KineticApplicationsGroup]

Of course for most brands its the government its not even that they can afford it they generally get such a discount that there is very little profit on one item and most governments don’t buy gear in the millions its ammo, AFVs, Artillery, planes and missiles they spend most money on a lot of purchases are from within units, but the prestige it comes with is important. Its weird because 99% soldiers won’t know the difference between aliexpress gear and the real deal but there is that assumption

[@fennoman9241]

@@KineticApplicationsGroup If you handle the two, aliexpress and real, the difference is pretty obvious.

[@KineticApplicationsGroup]

@ To me it is obvious even in photos most of the time, I can also see if its cordura or regular shitty nylon a mile away, but most people can’t, considering you are commenting on this certain video, I assume you have interest in gear so you actually have some expertise or a lot of it even, so thats why to you its obvious as well, but again to most people who aren’t interested in gear it won’t be

[@cxsey8587]

It’s cool, but it seems like a perfect target for drones that can home into whatever protocol they’re using

[@ReconBrothers]

You may be right, but remember that the range of its wireless feature is only about 30-50 cm. So, already pretty hard to track (e.g. if you put the SCU at a wrong angle the headset doesn't even connect). Also a bit of a bold claim by backing it up with "whatever protocol they're using". Not very scientific, is it? 🙃

[@cxsey8587]

@I don’t have to be scientific, if it’s emitting a wireless signal it can be sniffed. Bluetooth, zigbee, z wave, wifi, whatever. A sensitive enough receiver can pick up those signals,

[@ReconBrothers]

@@cxsey8587 Well that's where you are wrong, if you make a claim, you at least should try to support it instead of stating "whatever protocol they're using" which would come down to anything, even radio frequencies. Also we know drones are a big thing right now, but there are still a lot of applications where there is no risk of drones. And as mentioned the headset itself can't function if the SCU is at a wrong angle, so how sensitive does the drone need to be in order to catch up on this from wherever it is.

[@chtactical5316]

Please please please, get rid of the noise when you flash up the words on the screen, it distracts from what you’re talking about. Very informative video other than that keep up the great work 🤙🏼

[@ReconBrothers]

Thanks for bringing this up, we'll consider it for our next videos! Glad you like our work & appreciate the comment man!

[@DoctorLamaoAirsoft-j9g]

@@ReconBrothers First off, your videos are a HUGE help! You guys helped me choose the right headset to get. I’ve watched about 5 of your videos over the last couple of days, and I can agree - the noise with each pop up is too loud. Either lower the volume/choose a different audio sample to play with the pop ups, or ditch them altogether. Keep up the great work! 🙌

[@ReconBrothers]

@@DoctorLamaoAirsoft-j9g Okay, thanks for the feedback bro! We'll see how we can improve on this.

[@JoeMcCohn]

Te dźwięki tego walenia przy pojawiających się napisach - strasznie irytująco męczące. Zaraz pójdę założyć moje Sordiny żeby dalej to oglądać 🚶🤦‍♂️

[@ReconBrothers]

Just put your volume down, bro. 😛
