RTS PH-16 Dual-Sided Headset with 24dB NRR, Flexible Dynamic Boom Mic

The RTS PH-16 is engineered for professional use where clear, reliable comms and strong hearing protection matter most. This dual-sided monaural headset is purpose-built to tuck neatly under a helmet while delivering crisp voice pickup through a flexible dynamic boom microphone and dependable noise reduction. With an EPA-rated NRR of 24dB, the PH-16 helps minimize background noise in loud environments—so every instruction, alert, and command comes through with exceptional clarity. Its dynamic receivers are mounted with a design that withstands daily shocks, vibrations, and acoustic feedback, preserving sound integrity even in demanding settings. The foam-lined ear cups provide additional attenuation, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during long shifts. For professionals who need dependable hearing protection without sacrificing situational awareness, the RTS PH-16 stands out in both form and function.

• Unmatched hearing protection with EPA-rated NRR of 24dB is delivered through foam-lined ear cups and carefully tuned acoustics, ensuring that ambient noise is attenuated without muffling critical voice cues. This balance supports safer, more productive work in loud environments, whether on the factory floor, at a busy airport ramp, or during high-intensity field operations.
• Helmet-ready, dual-sided design that sits comfortably beneath a wide range of headgear. The monaural configuration minimizes bulk while maintaining a secure fit, letting you move freely and communicate clearly without compromising your helmet’s fit or your field of vision during rapid gear changes or complex tasks.
• Flexible dynamic boom microphone with built-in noise cancellation and adjustable positioning. The mic is designed to focus on your voice while suppressing surrounding chatter and wind noise, which helps reduce miscommunication and the need for repeated transmissions in loud or windy environments.
• Durable construction built to survive tough environments. The PH-16 uses a special microphone mounting that resists shock, vibration, and acoustic feedback, preventing unwanted audio artefacts and extending the life of the headset in industrial, military, or motorsport settings.
• All-day comfort and easy integration into existing systems. Foam-lined ear cups provide long-duration wear comfort, and the headset is designed to work with standard communications equipment, making the PH-16 a practical upgrade for teams seeking improved audio clarity without a complicated setup.
