    Bumping this thread again.

    I need some ear pro for my Ops Core Helmet.

    What are the good options out there?

    Can you provide more details?
    Do you have muffs and just need adapters? Do you just need the ear-pro or do you need comms built in?
    Also what is your intended use, fun or work?

    Unity makes an adapter kit.

    It was suggested to me, and I was able to get it to work, that you remove the foam padding across the middle of the helmet so that I could fit my Impact Sport in under the helmet. I have a team Wendy bump, and it was pretty easy as that whole section is one piece of 3 connected pads that I can just velcro in and out pretty easily.

    It seems to be more common to have helmet ear-pro and comms all tied together. I have seen on here it being suggested that you should keep them separate so that if you ever do or need to remove your helmet you are not losing your comms too. Think this depends a lot on your application and usage.

    The turnkey solution is AMPs. But they are expensive.

    AMPs aren't cheap and recently Ops Core/Gentex raised prices yet again.

    You can sometimes find Comtac IIIs for under $400. That with the Arc kit will still be way under an AMP.

    Do you need comms?

    What's your budget?

    Good point, easy to assume everyone "needs" comms but he may not.

    I've seen people's pics of Howard Leights on modified ARC adapters. Could do that on the (relatively) cheap. I've had good luck with the Howard Leights over the years, especially when you add the gel cups.

    I guess I should have been a little more verbose when I asked the question.

    I was at a NVG class and I had a couple of recommendations but I have lost my notes.

    I am looking for ear pro that interfaces with the rails of the Ops Core helmet.
    No wearing ear pro straps under the helmet.

    Primary purpose is to be used in training and (mostly) in conjunction with my NVG and will not interfere with my cheek weld.

    Do I need comms?
    At this point I am thinking no but I would like to have the option.

    My sweet spot would be under $600. I can afford a lot more but I am looking for a good quality set.
    Like I do not need the version that comes with Bluetooth. It would be nice but don't really need that.

    Trying to get a feel for what is on the market before I just run out and willy-nilly buy something.

    Thanks in advance for info.

    Lesson learned today:
    Zeroing vis laser during the day is not as easy as I thought it would be...

    Was even a slightly overcast day.

    You speak the truth, I had thought for half a second that maybe I didn't need my Magpul PRO flip ups for BUIS having the vis laser... I see I was very wrong.

    The aimpoint pro is now sitting too high to see them through the optic now that I have it on a riser, but it's on a qd mount and could be taken off if needed.
