Robust hearing protection with Bluetooth connectivity

| By Mary Page Bailey and Gerald Ondrey

Noise-COM 500 products (photo) are Bluetooth-enabled hearing protectors specifically designed for use in extremely harsh, noisy operations. They are suitable, for example, for use in construction, mining or other heavy industries where using hearing protection is vital, and the ability to communicate with clarity is of equally high importance. These robust and durable hearing protectors combine excellent ambient-sound quality with an outstanding noise-canceling microphone for clear speech. As the Noise-COM 500 can be connected to various Bluetooth two-way radios or mobile phones, users can comfortably listen to audio, as well as make and receive phone calls. Additionally, the ambient sound feature allows users to clearly hear surrounding sounds, such as speech or warning signals while blocking high-level, harmful noises out. There is also an easily accessible rotary button for push-to-talk and ambient-sound volume adjustment. With the Noise-COM 500XP model, there is an option to define ambient-sound audio profiles for different occasions, enabling the best possible audio for most operational situations. — Savox Communications Inc., Raleigh, N.C.
