You're doing God's work man. It's absurd how much money it costs to get into NV... for those of us lucky enough to save up for it, it's nice to save a few hundred on the ear pro like this.
I paid 1800 to build my own pvs14 paid 65 dollar for old surplus pasgt helmet converted it into a high cut, so I'm $2300 in a long with my gen 3 + tube costed me $1,000 it was government contract factory overrun green phosphor tube. I used my old walker razor ear pro as well, and I have two pairs of them, and set of earmor m32 comms for use when I swap em. I also have a unconverted usgi surplus ACH helmet made by MSA I bought for $300 size large off eBay that I'm keeping original only because I like having two different options for two different applications
Gents, remember; this is a great set up for a beginning point into headsets. You will never regret spending money on some amps/comtacs/etc. the ability to identify which direction a sound is coming from is massive. Save up! Me and my guys got into Comtac VI’s and they have more than surprised me. It’s a big difference know that you are getting shot at, and knowing WHERE you are getting shot from.
I've been meaning to do something like this for my helmet and this explained it really well. Definitely helps to see it done before jumping in for a "Measure Twice Cut Once" approach
I agree. It is always nice to see it done before trying. I hope it turns out good for you
@@TacticalAdvisor have you thought of maybe putting a little bit of electrical tape or liquid gasket. I know you don’t have trouble with the ears moving but maybe for people who have that problem.
@wargasm7777 I just bent the tips of the peltor mounts and the muffs are sitting on them firmly now
I am a ROK marine and considering if I need to buy Walkers ear protection and this video is very helpful for me.
Thank you very much.
Hey man. I’ve been looking for instructions for this exact project for a while. Thank you so much for the straightforward and direct instructions. Subbed here
I just did this to mine and it works, but it is possible to slip the ear cups off the wires. bending the wires inward helps with tension and keeps them on better
I would absolutely love a helmet setup/review vid. This lid fucks so hard.
I'm very glad I saw this. I'm looking to get a helmet and I didn't want to spend $600+ on headphones and all that. Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for. My walkers feel great, electronic hearing is great, can hook up with a cable, like I really don't want to spend $400 to $600 on comtac peltors so this is perfect. Thanks so much!
Well commtacs arnt solely hearing protection they are comms . So this set up is great for larping at the range but communicating with your team should the SHTF your gonna be in trouble
@@jonsingleton203you’re trying so hard to cope with your overpriced earplugs 😂
@@willfarrell6083 I didn't buy them for ear plugs I bought them for comms and I can afford them maybe your trying too cope with being broke
Wow, this is really mature😂
@@jonsingleton203 if you live in America, you shouldn’t be worrying about that… by the time this nation falls apart will be long gone if ever
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You just saved me tons of money. When I saw the cost of the Peltor headset, my jaw dropped. I'm going to purchase my helmet today and was wondering if I could do this same thing with my Walkers.
Spend a few more bucks on the Razor Quads, for 360* hearing amplification.
I've had the mic jack pop out so many times on the standard Razors I never use it anyway. You can run an ear bud mic under the cups, and it works fine for quiet comms.
A lot of PTT Mic's have a plug for an earbud anyway.
What mic do you use?
All your missing is noisefighters gel cups for your helmet set up! I have a pretty similar set up to you and the gel cups are a game changer and reduce a bit more sound as well. Cant wait to hear a review on that light!
I've found some of those prongs aren't thick enough to hold onto the Walkers sleeve. You can sand the prongs and apply a (I used 2) coats of an epoxy resin to the wire, let it dry, and then sand it smooth and small enough for the sleeve to snugly fit over. Some people glue their headphones to the wire, but that seems like a waste as you may want to use that old headband at some point without the helmet.
This is a game changer now that Walker has the “Razor Walkie talkie attachment.” Basically you can get coms for less than $100 instead of spending $600-1200 on peltors or opscore
Exactly what I needed to know -- I had the same idea but was worried I'd destroy them in the process. Worked great with your instructions!
The digitals are $35 on midway right now, down from $100 so cut away
I did this with my setup, but with different connectors. Unfortunately mine a loose AF so I've had to tape them on for the time being
I just bent the tips of the peltor mounts like 5 minutes ago and the muffs are sitting on them firmly now
As far as running comms with it they have a radio/mic that connects to the razors. Decent cheap option for that as well.
I can agree to this, I did the same thing to my head rig. As long as your careful with it and take your time, it’s worth it
Its a great cheaper option
On the topic of fitting a helmet and pads-there is a reason that helmet manufacturers have “fit guides” and “fitting kits” for their specialty helmets. As noted, the helmet is the nerve center for most of the warfighter’s sensory gear: communications headset, night vision goggles, O2 mask, gas mask, and so on. And the head is a very sensitive part of the body. The helmet needs to protect your brain from TBI/ballistic threats while keeping all the aforementioned gear stable and in ready-use placement, all while creating the least amount of discomfort. It is absolutely imperative that a helmet is fit properly to the wearer. If it’s too small, the fit will be too tight and the wearer will experience a pressure headache. To relieve this pressure he may opt to use thinner pads, which leaves him open to possible traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the event of blunt force trauma to the head. If the helmet is too big, the shell could move around on his head during use and compromise coverage in the event of ballistic threats, while also shifting mission-critical gear around. I always recommend biasing toward the larger option if your head measurement puts you in between sizes. The difference can be made up with pads and chinstraps. If your measurement puts you squarely within the range of a specific size, then you may consider yourself lucky and you should stick with that size. One thing is certain: Wearing a helmet that’s too small for your head is one of the most miserable feelings.
I did this with a cheap bump before I got my ballistic hat. Gonna have to see how the walkers work on the ballistic. They wouldn’t compress against my head when I put them on the bump helmet.
THANK YOU. Been trying to find a mount to work with my razor slims with no luck, was wearing my ear pro under my helmet with no pads and it’s uncomfy
We have all the components of the video, and we also have many types of stands.
To be honest your lighting and backdrop seem fine. Reminds me of JRE
Mine slide off the metal things that go into the Mount to the ear portion
The only issue I have with the walkers is when you rotate them off your ears, they don't hold shape when you rotate them back, and the seal isn't great.
I love the new outro for the last 20-25 videos or so. It got stuck in my head for a few days after I binged your videos last weeks to catch up lol
Thank you! Haha I was hoping it would be catchy!
Thanks for the video but I didn’t see which ARC adapter you used?
Super!! I was just wondering if you could clip razors to peltor arc's and then I stumbled upon this video, cheers mate 🤝🏼
walkser makes a mic attachment for those ear pro muffs...got it today on amazon for 26$
Apparently these can be converted for comms with Baofeng. Have you tried that for communication?
I'm running baofeng comms into my walkers and love it. But you can't use baofeng PTT hand mic cause they break easy. The company "code red" sells rugged hand mics that work with baofeng/Kenwood.
@@ryanowens8151 cool beans and thank you!
You guys have a link for that product?
Take those little rubber pieces that go between the nods and eyes and flip them up so you can use your peripheral vision
fun fact, if you pry the plastic piece from the headphones then turn them 90 degrees they should come out as intended so that they dont fall off under normal use
I love my Walkers being I have about 6 pair, so I can sacrifice at least two, one in black and one in FDE. I have the pair with the velcro for patches.
video saved me from messing up my headset! thank u bro
Thank you for this. I have a pair and wanted to attach them to my issued helmet (because Uncle Sam likes to be cheap with us).
Walker has a walkie talkie attachment for those as well.
Dude, this tutorial is AMAZING!!!!!!
Thank you Sir, that was very helpful!
Dude!
Thanks. I was looking for such video for monthes...
You're welcome. I hope it helps
So the arc rails I received don’t really work for some reason. The walkers just slide off. Anything that needs to be done so it’s steady?
I want to get the walker razor slims with the walkie unit and do this on my bump helmet. So i have coms may not be the best encrypted but its still coms
thanks bud, I attached some to my ops core. looks badass now
What type of ARC Rails are those? Would any brand work with walkers??
Ever find out?
Yeah looking for the same answer…
I think there Unity tactical ones. They make acr mounts an M lock ones . Gonna buy the m lock ones the hard head ones suck need something more solid.
I'm not interested in the full helmet mount mod, but I am doing my own weird electronics mods to my Walker Razors since I love them for daily driver headphones. I appreciate you saying how to remove the wire band from the actual ear pieces, which helps me in my own goals!
Thanks bud , this is a very good idea I will copy, 10/10.
I was actually going to make something to adapt a set like this and it looks like the y make the already very cool!
Just what I was looking for.
Maybe it's my head shape or I screwed up somewhere or something but I just did this with my set of walker earpro and now they don't press firmly against my ear, any way to adjust this?
Have u add coms with your walkers yet
Did this myself just the other night thanks to you sir, did you manage your cable by just running it through the top pads?
I have that problem where my ear pro slides off the arc rails when I’m running or moving a lot and idk what to do
get a assorted pack of safety pins. Put the rail in the hole then find which size safety pin that goes in the hole with the rail. tis will act as a shim. get your trauma shears and cut the pin to size and shove it in until tight.
I did this but I am having a hard time getting them to seal completely off on the bottom because they won’t go up far enough under the helmet and if I keep trying to push it higher one of the mounting clips pops off of the ear muff. I’m upset I ruined a good pair now. Im using a ops core bump with arc rails and peltor mounts. They seem like they aren’t wide enough for the walkers.
check out the gel ear pad upgrade. these help to create a better seal in my opinion. you might be able to save them yet! ua-cam.com/video/G4luiJ2nrtY/v-deo.html
Ty for the video. On my sub list now. Good luck with the new house.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Are those the Razors? Do you have directional awareness? Mine sound like a mono channel split in two. I can’t tell if the sound is coming from front/back or which side. My Howard Leights at the same price point, no problem whatsoever
I just installed mine and they seem to be slipping off any ideas on how to fix that?
I did this set up on my helmet with an old pair of walkers. Very secure and no problems with the mounts but I can't seem to get the muffs high enough! They are pushed slightly up inside the helmet cut and its still not high enough to not sit on the tops of my ears. They sit lower on my jaw and I can hear the muff unseal when I turn my head left and right. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Having the same problem. Plus if I keep trying to force it higher or make a better seal on the bottom one of the clips keeps popping off. Very frustrating. I’m using an ops core bump helmet.
check out the gel ear pad upgrade. these help to create a better seal in my opinion. ua-cam.com/video/G4luiJ2nrtY/v-deo.html
dude! this video rocks! thank you.
I did this exact setup and love the look. However my walkers sit like a inch away from my ear, got any tips to make them fit snugly.
Did you make sure that they are pushed all the way in? There are 2 positions. If they are in the second position they will sit away from your ear. If you push them in they will click and be on your ears
just got the Bluetooth version of the walkers. sucks I need to cut the band on the top, seems like it would make the band unusable after that.
Awesome video, thanks!
I’m sure you’ve answered this hundreds of times but I’m a first time viewer. What helmet are you using?
Ace Link Armor
Ay man just wanted to say thanks for the straightforward tutorial. Shit made me feel like an engineer . Lebanon here we come
Was using m32s from earmor but they broke and I was overall not satisfied with them, that being said I have the helmet mounts by earmor and it looks very similar to those so does anyone know if I can just buy the walker razors and slip them on the earmor mounts?
Can someone help me resolve my issue?
I have a HHV Gen 2 + their pop in adapter and Walker Razors. I upgraded the pads which are supposed to have a better seal over ears in addition to added comfort.
My problem is that they do not seal completely over my ears and does not provide ample hearing protection, especially at the lower ends.
I push them in as far as I can and have no idea how to make them fit over my ears any better.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Genius, I'll be doing the same thing.
Can you reuse the original wires that hold the earmuffs in place the peltor ones are loose on mine & slide up & down almost come off the exact problem you’re not having 😭
Ever find out?
@@defypluto6962 yea I had some knock off ones got the real ones work fine now
@@defypluto6962 hope this helps cuz fuck that was annoying & no one ever got back to me had to spend more $ to figure it out
@@Skankhunt556 cool because I’m about to order a pair and didn’t want to get fucked lol does it matter the adapter tho?
@@defypluto6962 I’m not sure I got 3m ones off Amazon for like 60 some bucks
Very nice, thinking about using mines for Airsoft to protect my hearing from thunder b’s grenades
Not a bad idea
"mines"
i did the same thing with Howard's, but since the metal wire holding tabs on the arc rail adapters are oriented 90deg to the Howard's, i just heated the plastic with a lighter and squeezed gently to make a more secure interface.
Can you make in depth review of your halmet?
Anyone had any problems with them not sealing off properly? I upgraded to the gel cups which made it a little better than the standard walker cups but my ears tend to end up ringing especially after rifle (shooting unsuppressed).
Yes you need in ear protection too that allows talking level noise in … safariland and surgeries make them
I love your helmet setup and I am on a budget too and want to get into nightvision.
Can you give me a list of what you got on your helmet?
Question, i attached it onto M3 adaptor, but the ear muff is super loose, sometimes falls off when i rotate it. Any suggestion to fix that problem?
Could I add on the walkie-talkie piece to the headset? Or it won’t fit with the helmet?
When is the review of the helmet coming comfort and fit.
I should be getting one to shoot soon so probably after that so I can put it all in one video
wherre did you get arc rails
Great video!!!
I have a set up like that but I’m having issues with the headphones sitting snug against my face, any tips?
Thanks, I'm just gonna put razor on my bump helmet set up. you're using surefire IR. right?
Yes. I am using a surefire
Please, what brand and model is this helmet? Love the black multi-cam!
It is from Acelink. I have a discount code for them as well. Code "tacticaladvisor" if you are interested
How do you increase the tension slightly. The headphones actually pop off my ear at the top because they’re too loose
Like your video, very natural, and comfortable. Subscription already!
wondering if you put them on the high cut other way on purpose or does it not matter which way they go? or is that the right way?
CONFUSION INTENSIFIES
Thats the right way. The microphone on the earpieces should be facing forward
I saw oomp had these in his nikkikoavacado vid, wondered how he did it
Awesome vid. Thanks dude.
Subbed!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Curious if you have tried to put the Walker Razor Walkie Talkie on while mounted?
I have tried the walkie talkie. They are not very good.
My ear pro is those $5 walker ear pro from walmart
Where did you get the mount? Did it come with the helmet? I have hard head veterans helmet and want to do the same. Looking for an Mlok mount
I have a similar setup with walkers just wondering if theres a way to protect the wires more?
I have not found a way to do it any better.
Can you do this for HL Sport Impacts?
Really enjoy your channel. I'd love to know more about what you have to do to make a firearm work with a suppressor. Do I need an adjustable gas system or is my a2 setup OK as is? Not sure if my psa block is adjustable either... One can for 22 up to 6.5 creedmoor?
Thank you! I appreciate that. I personally use Bootleg adjustable BCGs for my suppressed firearms. Using a adjustable gasblock is another good option.
Fantastic! Thank you!
You're welcome
What mounts are those for the ear pro ?
what was the arc rail adapter you used
Mine are loose ugh
Can this attach to my Milwaukee safety helmet?
What ARC rail adapters are you using?
^
Im wondering the same.
Peltor
Me too
he starts at 2:00
Does anyone have any suggestions of what parts I need for a similar setup on a full-cut type helmet like Viper P4? It has rails for mounting the earpieces but I'm not sure what parts I need.
I've got walkers razors and a baofeng uv5r is the radio/comms noise supposed to only be heard in the left earmuff (the one the baofeng is connected to)?
yes comms only comes through one ear
Can you rotate these up with the helmet on, or is the connecting wire too short?
Yes you can.
Yes you can.
YO I GOT ACTUAL GPNVG-18 FOR 15 BUCKS
Now I need a mount for the nvg and the fast helmet
