For anyone having issues with the ear pro being loose on the arc adaptor, use JB weld plastic bonder 2 part epoxy on the ends of the wire and into the holes with a toothpick. Once it’s cured, I wrapped the wire and plastic piece on the ear pro with black electrical tape to keep dirt and water out. Seems pretty sturdy for the time being I’ll update if it doesn’t work out. Costs like 7 bucks at wal mart.

I figured out how to do this on my own with my Peltor Tac 100's, but I'm glad this video exists to let me know I'm not a moron and actually did it right.

They make arc rail adapters specifically for Howard leigh ear pro. You just pop off the existing arms and push on the rail adapters. No need to cut any wires.

Awesome job guys! Still hitting the gear that a lot of people are looking at. Keep it up!

A job well done mate, This vid helped me a lot setting up my ear protection on my tactical helmet.

Solid video, but I would like to point out that you DO NOT HAVE TO DREMEL (not yelling, just drawing attention. lol) the metal wire on the Howard Leights. The plastic tab that the metal wire slips into are clipped onto the ear pro with a simple plastic locking tab. You can use a flathead screwdriver (or simple makeshift prying tool of your choice) and pry up gently behind the black plastic near where it clicks into the OD green tab on the ear pro. It doesn't take a ton of effort, and it pops off and then you can rotate the black plastic piece to remove the metal wire, and then attach the 3M piece and click it right back onto the ear pro. For the audio wire, short of disassembling the actual ear pro, you do need to cut the head strap "leather" as you show in the video, however, and that definitely is the better way to go from what I can see. Great video! I love seeing modifications like this.

Happy Holidays Poortac556 and viewers. Thank you for the video.

Answered absolutely every question I had. Thanks!

Did this mod with a pair of Walker Razors. Same process. Worked flawlessly.

Thank you for the tutorial! Just added an old set of Howards to my new helmet to try out.

this is the exact video i needed thank you. also you can run your cable through the crown of the helmet taping it to the inside (top) in between the cushions and it actually comes out a lot better.

Hey!!!! Thankyou!!! I asked for this like last week! Thanks again!!

This was very helpful for my team wendy exfil ballistic, thanks man!

I've been looking at doing something similar but didn't want to have carve up my peltors....awesome video thanx

Awesome video. Thank you for making it!

Awesome stuff. You guys should review peltor knock offs and those ear plug things. See how they stack up to real Howard lights and peltors

I dont have a ballistic Helmet. But this was awesome to watch! Nicely done! Subbed!

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Thank you, video was very helpful.

A great breakdown, detailed and thorough vid with the Leights. MUCH appreciated. I think it’s worth just getting an inexpensive 2nd set of Walkers honestly.. THEN carve them up. Nice job though..👍

Thanks! Really helpful video!

Great content guys! Just subscribed..

Thank you!!

Very nice brother🇺🇸 thanks for the help🍻🤘

Great job, thank you!

I did this before watching hoping it would show how to do it without them easily sliding off. The Pelton key position is opposite of Howard’s. Need to twist them or smash a new notch I guess

I had the idea to do this but didn’t know if it’ll work thanks

Thank you so much!!!!

Looking to mount my Walker razor slims to my helmet, they utilize the same mounts as the Howard Leights from the looks of them. One thing I couldn’t tell from your video is whether the crimped portion of the mount arm that locks the headset in is faced the same on both. The way you slid the arm into the HL bracket rather than finding that sweet spot to get it in makes it seem that it doesn’t fully lock the headset to the arc rail mount.

I ran mine in the inside it looks more clean. My helmet is medium/large. I have a large ACH as well made by MSA it's a surplus heet I run my comms with regular band, my pasgt helmet I converted into a high cut is made for outter use comms with arc rails

Thank you...so much

Nice video!!!!

Hopefully you will upload a budget PTT with helmet and radio.

Thx friend

Love the soyjacks, good video

Very helpful

Hey do you know if any ear protection that makes it so you can not only hear sounds, but hear what direction the sound is coming from. Vs omnidirectional how most ear protection you find nowadays like Razors and such for hunting. Thanks!

That's awesome. Just got a bump helmet so I will be doing this. I have a mic attached to my ear pro that attaches to a PTT that I learned how to do from another video. Much obliged! Now if I could just find some super cheap NVG'S lol. So do you still use this set up? How's it been holding up thus far?

i appreciate you

Do you have to depress the tab on the headset mount or do you just force it past the notches to where you want it?

Good stuff! Just wondering what counterweight/battery pouch you're running.

Awesome vid. Howard Leight makes an adapter like the peltor one. Any reason you went with peltor vs. the Howard leight version?

4:52 the meme gets me

I love the memes along the way lol

Good INFO

Is there enough wire so that you can pivot the headset to the rear of the helmet?

any advice on how to make them fit tighter so they can seal properly?

I just did this today and a cheapo short pair of Walmart bolt cutters will work faster and easier than a dremel 😉

would this work for Walkers Razor? want to get a longfri and not have to but Howards since I already own the Razors

Great video, looking at doing this, one question, do the arc adapters swivel up so the ear pro is out of the way? Thanks!

The notch on the mount gets locked into place really tight how do I lift the piece to slide mount.

Will this also work for the walker razor ear pro?

Have you tried or heard of anyone trying to mount the ops core helmet rail mount to the impact ear pro?

Hey. I've used the method You have showned and I've been having problems with the sealment. I have an Emerson bump helmet and a knockoff peltor mount for arc rail, and I'm wondering how to fix that issue.

Can you post a link to the peltor mounts please

Do you have any issues with the impact sports sitting a little too low on the ears?

Hey man, two questions for you that I can’t seem to find the answers to. 1. Does the peltor adapter fit Axil Trckrs? 2. How do you have your light mounted around the adapter on your helmet with out it getting in the way?

Do you think this works for Walker's Razor?

Put mine on my helmet. I cant get it to snap down because my head is too wide. But my head is too skinny for the protection to work all the way out. If that makes sense. Any thoughts?

How do you keep the ear cups from sliding all the way out of the clips once it's all done? Left side is real loose and sometimes comes off completely.

You actually don't need to cut anything but the fabric because you can just unclip them twist the black clip of then snap the clip back n the earmuffs

i hope this works with my gloryfire muffs once im done cutting my pasgt into a fast helmet

I got the TNVC brand and just realized that they don’t actually “pop” away from your head they only swivel. And they were $70. And they always pop out of the actual arc rail when I try and put the helmet on 😡

I use an earpiece. Do I really need these?

Unfortunate this isn't reversible cuz I really like these ear pro

Why didnt you just take off the wire sleeves on the side of the ear cups and remove the wires that way?

If they come out by just pulling what’s the point of cutting

Everyone should be aware that HHV now uses an M-Loc rail. In order to use the Peltor clips you'll need an adapter to convert them from the ARC mounting base.

yay now i donrt have to buy sordins to mount earpro to my arc rails

Link to that helmet?

pop the black plastic arms off of the headset, then you can remove them from the wire, no cutting, then look where the flat spot is on the wire and make a similar flat spot on the new wire, put the black plastic ends on the new wire and now they won't fall off and you won't get stabbed in the head with the wires when you try and take your helmet off. you are welcome.

Question: BUBBA: why didn’t you just take off the Blk plastic clips off the Howard’s and not cut anything up?? Once you would have done that you do the same thing but you would still have old headset to use

I’d like to them on when you’re finished. Show me that pretty face!

You don’t need to cut the muffs off they pop off

You LITERALLY could have just pulled the cups off the wire without having to cut them with a Dremel lmao. I thought I was having a stroke trying to figure out why you had to cut them lmfao

how to mount video....oh, I did that off camera. ???

Couldn’t you just pull the metal pieces out without cutting them off?

There's a screw on the side to remove them without cutting lol also locks them like they were

Also you mounted them backwards. The mic Jack port is flipped towards the rear. It needs to be facing forward so you need to flip the cups to the other side but I’m sure you know that by now

Saw the title, just here to say: No.

Thanks
