3M ComTac V Review
Introducing The New ComTac 5 (V) Headsets
The 3M Comtac V headset is the perfect solution for any situation that requires clear communication and superior hearing protection. With its lightweight design, adjustable headband, and comfortable ear cushions, Comtac V provides an ideal fit that allows you to stay focused on your mission. It also features a secondary microphone port on the back of the headset, allowing for connection to oxygen systems (HAHO/HALO operations) and the 3M Scott First Responder Respirator (FRR).
The 3M Peltor ComTac V Hearing Defender Headset was designed specifically for members of the armed forces in combat, providing improved omnidirectional (360-degree hearing) microphone and speakers with increased sensitivity that significantly improve speech comprehension, enhancing hearing capabilities and reducing environmental noise. Backed by the renowned ruggedness of other 3M Peltor products, this electronic headset is robust enough to withstand even the toughest missions in any field environment.
The "talk-through" feature permits users to hear safe audio sounds while still protecting against hazardous noises. It has been tested according to ANSI S3.19-1974 and Impulse Noise Protection was verified at a 168dB peak SPL as per ANSI S12.42-2010 standards - making it one of the most reliable ear protection products available today!
Peltor ComTac V Defender and all other variants can be used with protective eyewear technology and will help keep them in place no matter what position your head is in. The ComTac V also offers communications interface options like a “Y” cable for use with the Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM) and dual COMM configurations to help manage cables more effectively.
In addition to this, ComTac 3M V is compatible with advanced 2-way audio comms radios such as those provided by Atlantic Signal, including single downlead headsets with 5-pin connectors, Centurion adapters for standard public safety radios, DUAL Invictus adapters that support two radios simultaneously, and Viper QUAD Comm control units designed to connect multiple assets and platforms. All the ComTac V range is a feature-rich hearing protection solution that delivers comfort, flexibility, and reliable communication.

FAQs for the ComTac Peltor V by 3M
What Comms-to-radio adapter/PTT (Push-to-talk) will I need for my radio?
First, you'll need the ComTacs with Single Lead or Dual Lead. The Defender option will not plug into radios (without an additional adapter and workaround). For radio setups, you'll basically match the adapter look to the adapter that you have. Some common examples:
Common civilian radios: FL5035-02 for K1 plugs like Baofeng, Bendix King, Hytera, Kenwood, Relm, Wouxun
FL5230-FM for Motorola HT750
FL4063-02 for Motorola APX/XPR
FL5063 or FL5063-02 for Motorola Turbo
FL5018-02 for Motorola XTS
FL5083-02 for Ericsson Jaguar 700P
FL5078 for K2 plugs like Kenwood Multi-pin
Common military radios: FL-U/94A-19, FL5601-02, or FL-U/94A for (AN/PRC-148 and AN/PRC-152 Nexus Radios) for Alan, Exelis, Harris, Thales 6-PIN MIL-C-55116 (Aka, 6-Pin Nexus)
FL5701 for Dual Comms with 6-PIN MIL-C-55116

Yes, you can connect your smartphone to the Peltor ComTac V headset. Add an adapter for 3.5mm audio jacks that will convert to Push-to-talk or plug.
Is it Peltor v or Peltor 5?
It's Peltor V. But, as you'll read further down, there are other options. We've even heard them called "Peltor 3M Peltor ComTac V" or just plain "Fives". However you say it, these Peltor Vs have been the backbone of US Military Comms for years.
Do these ComTacs use Bluetooth?
No, it is a common misconception that 3M Peltors use Bluetooth. ComTac 6 (VI) and ComTac 7 (VII) models use a near-field communications network (without any radios) that is similar to Bluetooth, but much different and more secure.
What kind of plug lead does the ComTac V use?
U/172 NATO (Nexus TP-120) is the single/double plug on the Dual Lead and Single Lead options that connect to PTT adapters for radios.

How long does the battery last in the 3M Peltor ComTac V?
The ComTac V headset is powered by two AAA batteries and has an average battery life of 150-200 hours. All models and colors feature auto power shutoff after 4 hours, helping to extend the overall battery life if you leave them on.

General Products:
Must be within 30 days of package delivery.
No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
Ballistic and Bulletproof Products:
Most companies will not accept any returns on ballistic or bulletproof items. We offer recertification as a courtesy.
Must be within 30 days of package delivery.
No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
A re-certification cost of 20% applies to returns of ballistic and bulletproof products.
The 20% recertification covers the cost of ensuring the armor is safe. Usually starting with X-Raying the armor for cracks underneath the coating, inspection for damage, and water damage testing. Without this 20%, we would not be able to offer returns on armor.
There is no way for us to know how or if it was used once shipped, and we have to consider them unsafe until retested, inspected and certified.
Exchanges and non-ballistic products do not have a re-certification cost.
Got my set of Comtacs about a week ago and they are everything I expected and more. Quality is top notch and shipping was fast. Would buy again from this company.

FAST Shipping - Buy from Atomic
I cannot get over how quickly the product got to me. Atomic beat competitor prices as well. Highly recommend.
I wish I got something like this a king time ago. It’s great when I’m static at the range or working and don’t have to worry about which set of gloves to wear. I throw them in my dump pouch and keep some hand warmers in the sweet pocket that comes with this item
Amazing helmet, it's comfortable, feels sturdy and good quality.
I was also helped with any questions and concerns I had and was not just helpful but quick, professional, yet still had a touch of the amazing small business personality that is loved.
If i ever need something I'm checking Atomic first.
One of the better built plate carriers I have come across. The quick release system is just that quick but also heavy duty unlike a lot of plate carriers on the market. Well worth the money.
My helmet was delivered in a re-used box (see photo). This gave me trepidation as to what I'd find inside. I was expecting it to be in a new, clean plastic bag. It was wrapped in bubble wrap with paper packing. It fits perfectly with the tan pads, although the headband suspension presses into my head, just behind my ears. It's almost painful at first but the discomfort decreases with time but doesn't completely go away. Cosmetically, it's a beautifully manufactured helmet. There's only one tiny sticker on the inside that specifies its NIJ protection level rating. I suspect it's made in China. I just hope it provides the ballistic head protection I need should I ever need it.
I received my helmet quickly and the quality is outstanding. I was able to adjust the helmet with the added padding to fit my head comfortably. This is a better helmet than I ever had while I served. Thank you!
Nice product, well built and ready for use . Great design, 2x5 is plenty of coverage. Good protection for those who don't want to wear a vest , or are unable to , such as Your Children . Thank You , Atomicdefence .
Great customer service. Helmet is of great quality with great fit. Exceeded expectations for the price. Purchased after checking with other retailers and very glad I purchased from Atomic Defense.
Exactly what was expected and arrived quick. One thing is I have a big head and had to remove some of the second layer of padding in areas to fit right. After that perfect...........This review was in no way influenced by the 3 Jolly Ranchers that were included for free.
I can’t say enough good things about this company. I bought these, didn’t need them after all, and returned them hassle free. The option for a refund or store credit is painless, and the customer service here is excellent. Timely response and friendly. I recommend this product for it’s ease of use, and Atomic for being excellent.
I looked up what the navy seals use and this glove came highly recommended. I can honestly say it lives up to the reviews. Index, middle and thumb fingers being exposed made it very easy to shoot and reload my magazines all with the gloves on. The increased grip gloves offer already improved my accuracy from recoil control by about 30%. I even broke several of my handguns down field stripping for cleaning and manipulation of misfiring drills and was surprised at how much the gloves didn’t restrict or delay me. Definitely my new favorite alternative from the full hand and finger gloves I’ve used in the past. So comfortable I even leave them on in regular work activities daily and hardly notice I’m wearing them. Highly durable and well worth the very fair price.
