Headset is peltor comtac 3, the kit to attach them to helmet rails is also made by peltor, it's called an arc-rail kit.

Now thats how to do it! How did you get on routing the wire from one side to the other?

just stuff it inside the helmet between the pads and use a bit of tape to secure it.

so do they keep out some sound as well, liek if someone drops a grenade a few feet from you as at Tuddenham on monday!! haha, how easy is it to hear someone next to you?

seems a better way to protect ears when using my helmet and lower mesh as well....

The ones on my helmet have microphones on the side which transmit ambient sound into the ear cups, but cap out at 90dB so anything louder than that just gets turned down. Very effective hearing protection, also have a volume control so you can make ambient sound MUCH louder than it really is and have bat-like hearing, though I find that really annoying as it feels like I'm making too much noise in everything I do.
