Can the downlead cable be detached from the ComTac V? No, the downlead cable on the Single Comm and Dual Comm models is hardwired directly into the headset and cannot be detached or removed. If you need a headset without a downlead cable, you should choose the Hearing Defender model, which is built exclusively for hearing protection without the radio comms leads. Do these ComTacs use Bluetooth? No, it is a common misconception that 3M Peltors use Bluetooth.
