3M PELTOR TEP-200 Tactical Ear Plug Kit – NRR 23dB, Rechargeable, For Construction & Law Enforcement

Overview

The 3M PELTOR TEP-200 Tactical Ear Plug Kit is designed for demanding environments where hearing protection and clear communication matter. Through level dependent technology, it aims to protect your hearing in noisy moments while preserving important ambient cues in quieter periods. The system also offers wireless audio monitoring so you can keep an ear out for radio or phone signals without fumbling for gear. This balance between quieting noise and maintaining situational awareness can help support safer, more productive collaboration on the job.

Ideal for teams in construction, maintenance, manufacturing, and law enforcement, the TEP-200 integrates with common PPE like helmets and face shields. An ear piece includes a small antenna to receive wireless audio from a neck loop accessory (sold separately), enabling two-way communication through shoulder microphones and compatible cell phones. The unit is designed for rugged use, with a water resistant build and a charging ecosystem built for on-site reliability.
