Silynx PROTEGO STD In-Ear Tactical Headset

The Silynx PROTEGO STD is a dual-ear in-ear tactical headset combining active hearing protection, ambient sound enhancement, and an integrated in-ear microphone in a 35-gram unit. It is rated to a 30 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) and carries IP67 waterproof and MIL-STD-810G environmental certifications. Available in Black and Tan, the PROTEGO STD connects to Silynx CLARUS I, CLARUS II, and FORTIS control boxes via Quick Disconnect (QDC).

Hearing Protection That Stays Out of the Way

The PROTEGO STD's external microphone is positioned within the ear canal, working in coordination with the user's pinna to deliver directional hearing that mirrors natural auditory function. Hear-Thru enhancement amplifies ambient sound while impulse noise is simultaneously compressed to the 30 dB NRR-rated threshold, giving operators the ability to hear a teammate's voice and a threat indicator at the same time.

Voice Transmission Without an External Microphone

Silynx's "Talking from the Ear" technology captures the user's inner auditory echo (the natural resonance of speech conducted through the ear canal) to produce a clear voice signal without a boom mic, lapel mic, or any external hardware. This keeps the face and collar clear for gas masks, ballistic visors, and other protective equipment that external microphones would interfere with. The microphone is integrated into the earbud; nothing protrudes.

Built for Extended, Demanding Use

At 35 grams total headset weight (5 grams per earbud), the PROTEGO STD is designed for continuous wear over long operational periods. The unit is rated IP67 waterproof (1 meter for 30 minutes), tested to MIL-STD-810G environmental standards, and EMI-compliant to EN 60950-22 and MIL-STD 461G. Operating temperature range is -31°C to +60°C. The PROTEGO connector supports Quick Disconnect (QDC), making it compatible with all Silynx modular control boxes without tools or adapters.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The PROTEGO STD suits military operators, law enforcement personnel, and security professionals who need certified hearing protection, ambient sound awareness, and radio communication capability in a single low-profile in-ear unit. Its QDC connector makes it a practical choice for anyone already using or planning to use a Silynx CLARUS I, CLARUS II, or FORTIS control box.

The PROTEGO STD does not include a control box or radio cable; those are purchased separately. It does not carry an aux connector. Buyers who require a single-ear configuration should consider the PROTEGO SNG instead. This headset is sold for end use in the United States only.

Common Questions

What is the noise reduction rating of the PROTEGO STD?

The Silynx PROTEGO STD carries a 30 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), as listed in the product specification table. This rating reflects the headset's passive and active noise attenuation in a dual-ear configuration.

Which control boxes are compatible with the PROTEGO STD?

The PROTEGO STD connects via Quick Disconnect (QDC) to the Silynx CLARUS I, CLARUS II, and FORTIS control boxes. The control box is not included with the headset and must be purchased separately. Only the radio cable needs to change when switching radios; the headset and control box remain in place.

Does the PROTEGO STD include a microphone?

Yes. The PROTEGO STD uses Silynx's "Talking from the Ear" technology, an integrated in-ear microphone that captures the user's inner auditory echo to produce a clear voice signal. No boom mic, lapel mic, or external microphone hardware is required or included.

Is the PROTEGO STD waterproof?

The PROTEGO STD is rated IP67, meaning it is fully dust-tight and waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is also tested to MIL-STD-810G environmental standards, covering temperature extremes and other field conditions.

Will the PROTEGO STD fit under a helmet or alongside a gas mask?

The PROTEGO STD sits entirely within the ear canal and has no over-ear components, headband, or external boom. This profile is compatible with ballistic helmets, gas masks, ballistic eyewear, and riot visors without interference or seal compromise.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
