{"product_id":"silynx-hsi-single-sided-tactical-headset","title":"Silynx HSI Tactical Headset Single-Sided Infantry","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is a single-sided, lightweight headset built for infantry soldiers, designed to connect to Silynx CLARUS or FORTIS controllers as a standalone unit or as part of the HSI headset system. The HSI weighs 453.6 g and operates across a speaker frequency spectrum of 60 Hz to 12,000 Hz. It is available in single- or dual-radio configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is constructed to MIL-STD-810G environmental standards, meaning it is engineered to withstand the temperature extremes, shock, and humidity conditions that standard defines. The operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C covers cold-weather deployments and hot-climate operations without modification. For soldiers who need a headset that holds up across extended field use, that baseline matters before any other feature is considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorn Over Protection, Not Instead of It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key design distinction of the HSI is that it is built to be worn over passive earmuffs or dedicated headset plugs rather than replacing them. This means a soldier can maintain passive or active noise protection from their existing hearing protection while still using the HSI for radio communications. The HSI also mounts under a standard ballistic helmet, so it integrates into a full kit without requiring the user to choose between hearing protection and comms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAmbidextrous and Waterproof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HSI is designed to be fully ambidextrous: the same unit mounts on either the left or right side of the head without modification, which simplifies unit logistics and individual preference. Waterproofing is available in two configurations: IP68 rated at 1 meter for 30 minutes (swim-proof), or a 10-meter dive-proof option. The boom microphone is offered with either an electret or differential microphone element, and is built using Silynx's proprietary structural technology to preserve the plastic and elastic properties of the mic arm over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-sided design:\u003c\/strong\u003e covers one ear with boom microphone, leaving the opposite ear open for ambient awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorn over hearing protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e compatible with passive earmuffs or dedicated headset plugs for layered noise protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbidextrous mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e left- or right-side head mounting using the same unit, no conversion required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual waterproof options:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP68 swim-proof (1 m \/ 30 min) or 10-meter dive-proof configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone choice:\u003c\/strong\u003e electret or differential boom microphone, built with Silynx proprietary structural technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilynx QDC connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e connects to CLARUS or FORTIS controllers via Silynx Quick Disconnect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e453.6 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSpeaker Frequency Spectrum\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e60 Hz to 12,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-20°C to +50°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilynx QDC (Quick Disconnect)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMicrophone Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eElectret or differential boom microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRadio Configurations\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle-radio or dual-radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP68: 1 meter for 30 minutes (swim-proof); or 10 meters dive-proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnvironmental Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMIL-STD-810G\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEMI Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEN 60950-22\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHelmet Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes, designed to be worn under a helmet\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHS0012-34\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset suits infantry soldiers, ground-force operators, and security professionals who need single-sided radio communications while keeping one ear open for natural ambient hearing. It is a strong fit for users who already wear passive earmuffs or hearing protection and want to layer radio comms on top, and for those operating in wet environments where IP68 or dive-proof waterproofing is required. Compatibility with Silynx CLARUS and FORTIS controllers makes it a natural addition to an existing Silynx system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe HSI is not a dual-ear hearing-protection headset and does not provide electronic noise amplification or suppression on its own. Ambient noise reduction depends on whatever passive hearing protection is worn underneath it. It does not include a control box or radio cable; those are separate Silynx components. It is not compatible with non-Silynx controllers without the appropriate Silynx cable adaptor. Gas mask connector is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat controllers does the HSI Tactical Headset connect to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset connects to Silynx CLARUS and FORTIS controllers via the Silynx QDC (Quick Disconnect) connector. The headset, control box, and radio cable are separate components in the Silynx modular system. When a user changes radios, only the radio cable changes, not the headset or controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the HSI provide hearing protection on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset does not provide standalone electronic hearing protection. It is designed to be worn over passive earmuffs or dedicated headset plugs, so noise reduction comes from whatever hearing protection is worn underneath. The HSI adds radio communication capability on top of that existing protection layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the HSI be worn on either side of the head?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is fully ambidextrous. The same unit mounts on either the left or right side of the head without any conversion or additional parts, which simplifies individual fit preference and reduces the number of configurations a unit needs to stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat waterproof rating does the HSI carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is available in two waterproof configurations: IP68 rated at 1 meter for 30 minutes (swim-proof), or a 10-meter dive-proof option. The appropriate configuration should be selected at the time of order based on the intended operational environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the HSI work under a helmet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is specifically designed to be worn under a standard ballistic helmet, making it compatible with full infantry kit without requiring the user to remove or modify their head protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the HSI ship to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Silynx HSI Tactical Headset is available for shipping within the United States only.
