Silynx has just released the C4OPS Hybrid Headset Configuration, an enhanced in ear headset system designed to allow 5 x 5 loud and clear communications in extreme noise environments and optimized for operations in MH-47G Chinooks, A/MH-6M Little Birds, MH-60K Black Hawks, MH-60L Black Hawks, Osprey V22 and other air and maritime platforms.

The Hybrid Headset includes a new modified steel core cable, new cable molle clips, and a modified collar/vest clip. The modified collar clip was designed to firmly secure to a shirt collar, vest, or in an internal back strap of a MICH or Ops Core helmet. The collar clip also includes a miniature quick disconnect connector that allows the connection of a low profile, noise cancelling Ops Core Chinstrap Boom Mic. For less overt operations, the boom mic can easily be removed from the collar clip automatically allowing the continuous operation of the headset by utilizing the in ear mic instead of the boom mic.

Silynx’s C4OPS Hybrid Headset Config was  developed at the request of the US special operations forces (SOF) and has gone through rigorous lab and field testing. The C4OPS Hybrid Headset is now combat proven and has been successfully deployed in theatre by US and NATO top tier SOF units.
