F30 Tactical Helmet Ear Pro – Electronic Hearing Protection for Ballistic & Bump Helmets (NRR 23 dB)

F30 Tactical Helmet Ear Pro – Electronic Hearing Protection for Ballistic & Bump Helmets (NRR 23 dB)

The ARM NEXT F30 is a helmet-mounted electronic hearing protector engineered for operators running high cut ballistic helmets, FAST helmets, and bump helmets with side rail systems. Whether you’re on the range, in training, or downrange, the F30 delivers active sound amplification for full situational awareness while suppressing impulse noise from gunfire and explosions — all without removing your helmet.

If you’ve been searching for reliable ear pro for your ballistic helmet that actually mounts clean and stays out of the way, the F30 was built for exactly that mission.

Helmet Rail Compatibility

The F30 ships with dedicated mounting adapters for the two most common tactical helmet rail standards:

• OPS-CORE ARC Rail – confirmed compatibility with ARC Gen 1 and Gen 2 rails (FAST helmets, Ops-Core FAST Carbon, FAST SF, and compatible clones)

• TEAM WENDY M-LOK Rail – fits Team Wendy EXFIL series and M-LOK-compatible high cut helmets

The 360° rotating mounting bracket lets you dial in earcup positioning for your exact head shape and helmet geometry, keeping a low profile on the helmet shell. No awkward protrusions, no interference with cheek weld or optics.

Active Electronic Hearing Protection

• NRR 23 dB certified passive protection when powered off

• Dual microphones amplify low-level ambient sounds — conversation, footsteps, environmental cues — below the cutoff threshold

• Automatic impulse suppression kicks in above 82 dB, blocking harmful noise from gunshots and explosions

• Result: you stay aware of your environment without sacrificing hearing safety during live fire

This is the core advantage of electronic ear pro over passive earmuffs — you don’t have to choose between hearing your team and protecting your ears.

PTT / Radio Communication Interface

The F30 includes a 7.1 mm NATO-standard connector for Push-To-Talk (PTT) integration. Compatible with select military-grade PTT units from manufacturers like Telex and Otto Engineering that use this connector standard.

⚠️ PTT device and radio are not included. Verify your PTT unit’s connector type before purchasing. Not all tactical PTT systems use the 7.1 mm NATO connector.

Power & Controls

• Runs on 2× AAA batteries (not included) — approximately 50+ hours standby, 20+ hours active use

• On-ear controls manage power, volume, and mode — positioned for gloved-hand operation

• Controls are mirrored on both earcups for ambidextrous access

Earcup Design

• Collapsible earcups fold flat against helmet rails when not in use — no snag risk, clean profile during transport

• Soft polymer foam cushions create an acoustic seal around the ears

• Headband tension adjustable via internal springs during initial fitment
