In fact, the user is protected from engine noise by the high attenuation value (SNR 31) and active noise reduction.

Numerous additional features and benefits

The STIHL ADVANCE ProCOM offers many advantages. Via Bluetooth, walkie-talkies can also be integrated into the communication and smartphones can be linked to the headset. Users can then make phone calls or stream music directly through the hearing protector. An integrated radio also provides entertainment, if the specific work situation allows. But that's not all! The lithium-ion battery ensures a long service life. And since the ear muffs and the battery are resistant to rain, even extreme rainy days do not stop their use. The STIHL ADVANCE ProCOM is available as an ear protection bracket, but it can also be retrofitted to helmet sets.

This means that users can talk and hear simultaneously without additional devices. This allows them to communicate with each other safely and comfortably, even in noisy environments. The range between two devices can be up to 600 meters. At the same time, each headset acts as an amplifier within the conference system.

If desired, you can also integrate walkie-talkies into the system via Bluetooth. The user's own smartphone can also be connected to the STIHL ADVANCE ProCOM via the Bluetooth interface. This allows the user, for example, to make phone calls or stream music without having to hold his smartphone in his hand.
