Battery-free industrial headset
11 May 2016
The Sensear SM1R industrial headset from Arco enhances users’ communication capabilities by simultaneously isolating and enhancing speech, while suppressing potentially harmful background noise. This improvement has been achieved by pairing Sensear’s patented SENS technology with a noise-cancelling boom mic.

Matt Green, technical sales specialist – hearing protection for Arco, said: “Arco is proud to be the UK’s exclusive safety distributor of the new Sensear SM1R headset. By cleverly removing the battery and powering the headset from connection to specific two-way radios, the headset is lighter and more comfortable to wear. Additionally, the battery-free advancement eliminates the need for extra charging.”
Green added: “The Sensear SM1R is a high-noise communication solution that enables users to protect their hearing, while still being able to communicate effectively. Whether that is via face-to-face interaction or through two-way radios, users can still maintain 360° audible awareness of their surroundings.”
The noise exposure limiting headset connects the majority of leading industry two-way radios through a wired connection; it is VOX capable and is suitable for use in the manufacturing, energy, and construction sectors. There is also a version which is being certified in accordance with the ATEX Directive suitable for the Oil and Gas Sector.
