Hearing Protection & Bluetooth Communications
Customise your PROTOS® helmet to suit any application with a versatile range of modular accessories. Built on the Industry model, each helmet can be easily adapted for a perfect fit and function.
Whether ear protection, visor, safety glasses or chin strap – the PROTOS® Helmet can be upgraded to master any type of application.
BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION-SYSTEM MULTI.
Clear communication can be the difference between smooth operations and costly mistakes. The PROTOS® BT-COM is built to keep teams instantly connected in high-noise, high-risk environments—without getting in the way. Designed for demanding environments such as forestry, arboriculture, construction, and industry, it keeps teams connected while maintaining full situational awareness.
Fully integrated into the helmet’s ear protection, this advanced Bluetooth® communication system eliminates cables, external units, and snag hazards. The result is a clean, balanced setup that feels as good at the end of the day as it does at the start—lightweight, comfortable, and built for real work.
With true full-duplex communication, conversations happen naturally. No buttons, no delays—just seamless, real-time communication between crew members. Whether you’re working in tight proximity or spread across site, the BT-COM delivers reliable coverage up to 150 metres between two users and up to 600 metres across a team of four, with the ability to extend even further when paired with radios or mobile devices.
In noisy environments, clarity matters. The directional gooseneck microphone actively suppresses background noise, ensuring your voice cuts through machinery, wind, and site noise. Combined with interference-free Bluetooth® technology, you get consistent, dependable communication when it matters most.
Every detail is designed for the job. Simple three-button control makes operation easy—even with gloves—while the system remains fully functional in all helmet positions, including park. The system can also be used as a Bluetooth® headset, connecting to mobile phones, audio devices, GPS units, handheld radios, and other intercom systems. The PROTOS® Control smartphone app adds further functionality, including device pairing and emergency features.

With the unique PROTOS® Headset, you are equipped for every application. The headband can be configured individually by simply combining it with the BT-COM and/or the safety glasses. The extremely light construction and the special placement of the support pads prevent pressure points to arise.
Regardless of the position, the headband stays in place and does not slip. The safety glasses can be mounted directly without the 28 dB insulation value being reduced by the brackets. Tested and approved according to EN 352-1, ANSI S3.19, CSA Z94.2 and AS/NZS 1270.

The patented hearing protection of the PROTOS® provides a noise reduction of SNR=27 dB, thus creating a safe level. By meeting the standard EN 352-3, the hearing protection is indispensable for all work with disruptive or harmful noise. If the hearing protection is not required, it can be easily shifted between the active and passive positions using two fingers. The hearing protectors can be (un)clipped easily with two fingers.
To maintain the noise absorption values, the Absorption Inserts (Item 204059) For hygiene reasons, should be replaced regularly and the Support Pad (Item 204062) We recommend the replacement every 6 – 12 months, or, at the latest, when the outer material hardens (impairment of the sound insulation).
