PTE-760 Tactical Headset – Behind-the-Head & Finger PTT

• Head behind design with single flexible boom microphone
• Unique PTT/VOX switch, with remote control finger PTT
• Light-weight frame with adjustable headband for different person
• Strong Kelvar PU cable
• Clear and crisp communication 

The PTE-760 is a specialized communication tool designed for operators who require stability without the bulk of heavy ear-muffs. It utilizes a behind-the-head suspension system paired with an adjustable overhead strap, allowing the headset to be worn comfortably under ballistic helmets, hard hats, or soft caps. The open-air ear cup design ensures the user maintains peripheral hearing, while the single flexible boom microphone can be precisely positioned to capture voice audio while rejecting off-axis environmental noise.

Functionality is central to the PTE-760’s engineering. It integrates a distinct PTT/VOX switch, allowing users to toggle instantly between manual Push-to-Talk and Voice Activated Transmission modes depending on mission requirements. For covert or weapon-handling scenarios, the kit includes a remote Finger PTT that straps securely to a finger or handlebar. The entire system is hardwired with Kevlar reinforced PU cabling, ensuring that the connection between the headset, the control unit, and the radio remains intact even when subjected to snagging or rigorous field movement.

Key Advantages

Versatile PTT/VOX Operation
Standard headsets often lock users into a single mode of operation. The PTE-760 distinguishes itself with a dedicated switch that controls transmission logic. In VOX mode, the radio transmits automatically when the microphone detects voice, essential for scenarios requiring full hands-free movement. In high-noise environments where VOX might be triggered accidentally, the operator can switch to PTT mode. The addition of a remote Finger PTT provides a tactical advantage, allowing the user to key the microphone discreetly without moving their hand from a firearm, steering wheel, or flight stick, ensuring seamless communication discipline.

Helmet-Compatible Ergonomics
Comfort during extended shifts is critical for focus. The lightweight frame of the PTE-760 removes pressure from the top of the head, transferring the weight to the back of the neck via the suspension band. This low-profile architecture is specifically engineered to eliminate interference with the suspension systems of PASGT, MICH, or FAST helmets. Unlike bulky headsets that can break the seal of protective eyewear or cause headaches under helmet straps, this unit remains unobtrusive, providing a secure fit that stays in place during running or rapid head movements.

Field-Proven Durability
Communication gear is the lifeline of any operation and must withstand abuse. The cabling of the PTE-760 is sheathed in industrial-grade Polyurethane (PU) and reinforced internally with Kevlar fiber. This construction offers exceptional tensile strength, preventing the internal copper wires from snapping if the cable gets caught on a door handle or gear webbing. The strain relief points at the connector and ear cups are over-molded to absorb flexion stress. This results in a headset that delivers clear and crisp communication consistently, reducing the frequency of equipment failure and replacement costs.

Use Scenarios

SWAT and Tactical Entry
Entry teams require gear that integrates with heavy armor. The PTE-760 fits seamlessly under a ballistic helmet, allowing the operator to communicate with the squad while maintaining situational awareness. The Finger PTT is crucial here, enabling the point man to transmit updates without taking his hand off the weapon trigger assembly.

Sniper and Surveillance Operations
For covert observation posts where silence is mandatory, the VOX feature (when used in a controlled environment) or the silent press of the Finger PTT ensures minimal movement. The lightweight design prevents fatigue during long hours of static observation, while the flexible boom mic allows for whispered transmissions that the sensitive electret microphone picks up clearly.

Paintball and Airsoft Team Ops
Serious MilSim players need reliable gear that mimics professional loadouts. The PTE-760 offers the durability to withstand woodsball environments—branches, mud, and sweat—while the VOX function allows for rapid callouts during intense firefights without fumbling for a chest-mounted button.

FAQ

Does the VOX function work with all radios?
The VOX function on the headset requires your specific radio model to support internal VOX capability. The switch on the headset simply enables the audio path for this mode.

Is the Finger PTT detachable?
In this specific model configuration, the Finger PTT is typically hardwired to the main PTT unit to ensure connection stability and prevent loss during operation.

Can this headset be worn on either the left or right ear?
The design is generally fixed with the boom mic on one side (typically left), but the flexible boom allows for adjustment. Please confirm specific orientation requirements when ordering.

How strong is the Kevlar cable?
The Kevlar reinforcement provides significant tensile strength, allowing the cable to withstand sudden pulls or snags that would snap standard PVC cables.

What connector types are available?
We can terminate the PTE-760 with connectors for almost all major radio brands, including Motorola, Kenwood, Icom, Hytera, and Midland.
