3M PELTOR Headsets: Environmental Noise Cancellation for Safe and Clear Communication

Editorial team|5 minutes to read

In 1950, the Swedish Air Force was confronted with a challenge: ensuring workers could hear communications clearly in extremely loud environments without exacerbating noise-related hearing loss. Tore Palmaer, realizing the limitations of the current methods, innovated a solution that could block out harmful noise while permitting essential communication. This breakthrough led to the development of PELTOR™ Protective Communications.

Over the years, the demands from professionals in challenging environments have remained constant—requiring solutions that are not only effective but also durable. The 3M PELTOR headsets, known for their robust construction, are designed to meet these demands, providing dependable protective communication solutions.

Comfortable Fit

Recognizing that comfort is key, especially during long work hours, 3M PELTOR headsets are designed for extended wearability. They incorporate high-quality, lightweight materials that withstand the test of time while ensuring a comfortable fit. The headsets feature specially designed foam pads to reduce pressure points around the ears and atop the head, enhancing user comfort throughout the day.

Built to Last

3M PELTOR headsets are built to withstand the toughest conditions—whether working aloft in the clouds or deep within the earth. The construction of these headsets utilizes durable materials like stainless steel and PVC, ensuring resistance to impacts, moisture, and extreme temperatures. With water-resistant features and flexible, thermoplastic rubber components, these headsets are engineered to perform reliably over time, in any environment.
