{"product_id":"silynx-protego-sng-single-ear-tactical-headset","title":"Silynx PROTEGO SNG Single-Ear Tactical In-Ear Headset","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Silynx PROTEGO SNG is a single-sided tactical in-ear headset rated at NRR 30 dB, designed for operators who need hearing protection in one ear while maintaining open situational awareness on the other side. The earbud sits entirely inside the ear canal, adding no profile that would conflict with helmets, ballistic eyewear, or gas masks. The PROTEGO SNG is available in Black and Tan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Profile, No Compromises on Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG headset weighs 20 g total, with the earbud itself weighing just 5 g, adding almost nothing to a kit load. Because the entire system sits inside the ear canal, it does not break the seal of ballistic eyewear, interfere with a helmet's retention system, or create pressure points during extended wear. Operators who have found over-ear earmuffs incompatible with their helmet or mask configuration gain a practical alternative here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSituational Awareness by Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG is worn in the left ear, with a passive earplug in the right. The earbud provides full acoustic occlusion so incoming radio audio is clear and intelligible even in high-noise environments. At the same time, an integrated microphone within the earbud allows ambient sounds to pass through to the protected ear, so the operator retains environmental awareness rather than being acoustically isolated. The single-sided configuration suits roles where monitoring one radio channel while staying attuned to the surrounding environment is the operational requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVoice Transmission Without External Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG incorporates Silynx's proprietary \"Talking from the Ear\" microphone technology. A microphone integrated into the earbud stem captures the user's inner auditory echo (the natural resonance of the user's voice as it travels through the ear canal) and transmits it as radio audio. No boom microphone, no lapel microphone, and no additional external hardware are required. This keeps the operator's face and chest clear and removes one more item that can snag, shift, or fail in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eModular System Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG connects to Silynx control boxes via the Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC), making it compatible with all Silynx modular systems. The headset, control box, and radio cable are separate components: the QDC links the headset to the control box, and a radio-specific cable connects the control box to the radio. Changing radios means changing only the cable, not the headset. Confirmed compatible control boxes include the Clarus I, Clarus II, and Fortis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNRR 30 dB hearing protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-sided in-ear protection rated at 30 dB Noise Reduction Rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"Talking from the Ear\" microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silynx proprietary in-ear mic captures inner auditory echo for natural voice transmission without a boom or lapel mic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbient pass-through:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated earbud microphone allows environmental sounds to reach the protected ear, maintaining situational awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 immersion rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e sealed to 1 meter for 30 minutes per MIL-STD-810G environmental standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIL-STD 461G EMI compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets electromagnetic interference standard EN 60950-22 and MIL-STD 461G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQDC modular connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick Disconnect Connector links to any Silynx control box; compatible with Clarus I, Clarus II, and Fortis\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\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle-sided (left ear)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNRR\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e30 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEarbud weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadset weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e20 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSpeaker frequency\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-31°C to +60°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eImmersion rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP67 (1 m for 30 min)\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, MIL-STD 461G\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuick Disconnect Connector (QDC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible control boxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClarus I, Clarus II, Fortis\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Tan\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 PROTEGO SNG suits military operators, law enforcement personnel, and security professionals who need single-channel radio communication with NRR 30 dB hearing protection in one ear while keeping the other ear open for environmental awareness. It is well matched to roles where a helmet, ballistic eyewear, or gas mask makes over-ear hearing protection impractical, and to operators already working within the Silynx modular ecosystem using a Clarus I, Clarus II, or Fortis control box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG is not a dual-ear hearing protection solution. The right ear relies on a separately sourced passive earplug that is not included with this headset. It does not function as a standalone radio; a Silynx control box and a compatible radio cable are required and are sold separately. It is not intended for use outside the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does single-sided mean for the PROTEGO SNG?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG is worn in the left ear only. The right ear uses a passive earplug, which is not included with the headset. This configuration gives the operator NRR 30 dB protection on the left side and an open right ear for environmental listening, rather than full bilateral electronic hearing protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat control box does the PROTEGO SNG require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG connects to Silynx control boxes via the Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC). Confirmed compatible control boxes are the Clarus I, Clarus II, and Fortis. The control box and radio cable are sold separately; the headset alone does not connect directly to a radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWill the PROTEGO SNG work with a helmet, gas mask, or ballistic eyewear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Because the PROTEGO SNG earbud sits entirely inside the ear canal, it does not protrude beyond the ear and does not interfere with helmet retention systems, ballistic eyewear temples, or gas mask seals. No external hardware such as a boom or lapel microphone is required, keeping the face and head clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the NRR rating of the PROTEGO SNG?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG carries a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 30 dB. This rating applies to the single left-ear earbud. The right ear's protection level depends on the passive earplug the operator selects separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the PROTEGO SNG waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG is rated IP67, meaning it is sealed against dust ingress and can withstand immersion to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. It also meets the MIL-STD-810G environmental standard. These ratings apply to the headset unit itself; cable and control box ratings depend on those components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the PROTEGO SNG ship to my location?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe PROTEGO SNG is available for shipment within the United States only. It is not available for international orders.
