Over the past decade, new protective helmets have been widely used by militaries around the world. In the design of the helmet, there is no protection in the ear area, which is completely contrary to the old helmets, and the new helmets only protect the head.
Of course, in the eyes of most people, the ideal helmet is a titanium Alkin helmet with a visor. Even the face and eyes are protected inside. Does it look like your level 3 helmet?
In the 1980s, when the Altyn helmet was developed, the helmet had specialized protective features. Today's new helmet is a modular platform with a lot of useful equipment.
Of course, while pursuing functionality, the helmet will definitely lose some of its protective performance. Look at the photo below and imagine if this bullet hit a newer helmet without ear protection, it would be a failure.
However, new helmets make it easier for soldiers. Warriors can wear active headphones that connect to their helmets.
Active headphones are an indispensable part of the modern soldier's equipment. Simply put, they can suppress the sound of gunfire and explosions, protect the soldiers' hearing system, and at the same time, they can hear the speech of their comrades more clearly. This makes it easier to coordinate actions on the battlefield.
Active headphones are a must-have in modern combat.
However, the protection function of the active headphones itself is very average, which means that there are protection loopholes in the ear area.
So do you have to choose between safety and hearing?
Of course not, there are also protective helmets that allow you to wear headphones underneath, and there are also headphones that are worn on the head rather than attached to the helmet.

It all depends on the personal preference of the soldier.
Therefore, some people will find it more convenient to install the headphones on the helmet.
And some people don’t wear headphones at all.
