Is the LiteCom Plus worth it over separate earmuffs and a radio?

If you talk on radio all day in loud areas, the all-in-one design removes cables and a handheld radio. For occasional use, separate earmuffs and a basic radio cost far less.

How far does the radio actually reach?

3M rates it up to 9,500 feet, but that is line of sight in open conditions. Buildings, steel structures and terrain cut range sharply.

Does it work with my existing radios?

It is a self-contained two-way radio, so it talks to other units on the same channels and frequencies. It does not replace a general-purpose handheld radio on other bands.

How is the battery life?

Runtime depends on radio transmit time and Bluetooth use, and heavy talk days drain it faster. Plan on charging after each shift.

Can I take calls and stream audio over Bluetooth?

Yes, Bluetooth handles phone calls and audio while the radio handles team talk. Both can run at once, though radio traffic takes priority.

What comes in the box?

The headset ships in its original manufacturer's box. Check the listing for whether a charger or cable is included before buying.

3M™ PELTOR™ LiteCom Plus Headset

The 3M™ PELTOR™ LiteCom Plus, all-in-one two-way radio headset allows two-way conversation on up to 30 channels and has a range of up to 9,500 feet. The environmental listening technology assists workers to hear environmental sounds in low noise and helps provide protection when it’s loud.

The science of hearing

The 3M™ PELTOR™ Brand is known around the globe as a leader in innovative hearing protection and communication solutions. From manufacturing to transportation to elite tactical military teams and local law enforcement, industries rely on PELTOR innovations like environmental listening technology-that automatically adjusts the level of hearing protection based on noise levels, allowing team members to communicate without the temptation to remove their hearing protectors.

They also depend on the technology that goes into our integrated two-way radio headsets, allowing for clear communication in noisy environments-including wireless capability powered by Bluetooth® technology.

Highlights

• Protective communication solution for hands-free, clear communication in noisy environments

• Features an integrated analog two-way radio and noise-canceling speech microphone

• Utilizes both Push-to-Talk and voice-operated transmission (VOX)

• Helps provide hearing protection when exposed to hazardous noise

• Integrated two-way radio with 22 pre-programmed FRS channels

• Environmental listening technology helps provide protection when it’s loud, as well as helps workers hear environmental sounds when it’s not

The 3M™ PELTOR™ LiteCom Plus Headset is a hearing protector with an integrated analog two-way radio and a noise-canceling speech microphone to deliver a wireless, hands-free protective communication solution. The LiteCom Plus headset also includes environmental listening technology, allowing workers to hear environmental sounds in low noise and while providing protection against loud working conditions.

The 3M™ PELTOR™ LiteCom Plus Headset is designed for use in manufacturing, processing, equipment maintenance, crane operations, construction, and many other applications in noisy environments. All settings and controls on this headset are designed to be intuitively simple; its noise-canceling microphone can be activated by pressing the Push-to-Talk button on the earcup or by using voice-operated transmission (VOX). As you speak into the microphone, the channel is opened in milliseconds, allowing for near-instantaneous, clear communication in noisy environments. As an added benefit, this technology is combined with the professional-grade durability and all-day wearability you’ve grown to expect from the PELTOR™ Brand, making it a robust hearing protection solution.
