3M™ Peltor™ PIC-100-NA Professional In Ear Communication Headset
The 3M™ PELTOR™ Professional In-Ear Communication Headset PIC-100 is an in-ear speech microphone with multiple wireless technologies to enable clear communication in noisy environments. It also features an innovative, on-demand fit test that informs the users of their personal protection level.




Hearing Protection with
On-Demand Fit Test
The innovative, on-demand fit test informs the users of their personal protection level, while an in-ear speech microphone and multiple wireless technologies enable communication in noisy environments..
With the 3M™ PELTOR™ PIC-100 Headset, the 3M™ PELTOR™ Brand is introducing multiple innovative technologies to help workers stay protected and productive. Featuring on-demand fit-test functionality at the push of a button, users can obtain their personal protection level to help ensure they have enough protection for their hazardous noise environment.
Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the eartips used:
- 3M™ PELTOR™ Triple-C Communication Eartips = 27dB NRR
- 3M™ UltraFit™ Communication Eartips = 21dB NRR
- 3M™ Skull Screw Communication Eartips = 33dB NRR
The 3M™ PELTOR™ Professional In-Ear Communication Headset PIC-100 is an in-ear speech microphone with multiple wireless technologies to enable clear communication in noisy environments. Environmental listening technology assists workers to hear environmental sounds in low noise and helps provide protection when it’s loud. Bluetooth® technology keeps you connected to any required external devices. It also features an innovative, on-demand fit test that informs the users of their personal protection level.
Featuring an in-ear speech microphone, the PIC-100 headset is not dependent on a boom microphone near the mouth to detect speech, making the PIC-100 headset compatible with a wide range of personal protective equipment, including respirators.
- In-ear speech microphones in the earplugs pick up voice, eliminating the need for a traditional boom microphone
- On-demand fit test helps assess the wearer’s current personal protection level and promote speech clarity and transmission
- Features a de-noising algorithm to help improve speech intelligibility in noisy environments
- In-ear speech microphones make it compatible with most 3M respiratory protection including PAPRs, reusable respirators (full face and half face), and disposable respirators**. No boom microphone necessary
** Based on 3M internal evaluation including PAPRs, reusable respirators (full face and half face) and disposable respirators.
Close-connect wireless technology for team communication
The PIC-100 headset features 3M’s innovative close-connect wireless technology that allows multiple people to speak simultaneously, headset to headset, enabling communication in a variety of noisy environments when workers are in close proximity. Headsets automatically connect with one another as they come into range without any need for pairing.
Voice Operated Transmission (VOX) enables users to seamlessly communicate, hands-free, without the touch of a button. The system also allows users to transmit with the Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature, which may be preferred in some situations.
- 6 separate channels enable multiple groups to operate independently without interference
- Configurable listening/talking options: Double press to change settings: VOX (voice activated transmission) and PTT (push-to–talk activated transmission)
- LED channel indication
- No need for pairing; all PIC-100 headsets automatically connect to each other when in range




3M™ Connected Equipment App
The 3M™ PELTOR™ Connected Equipment App allows users to easily navigate the headset’s menu and make adjustments. The app also provides ready access to user instructions, FAQs, instructional videos and tech support contacts.
In addition, the app enables over-the-air firmware updates.
