CLARUS VIP COVERT
The CLARUS VIP COVERT is a compact, lightweight in-ear tactical headset system designed for covert security and communication missions.
The system is intended for discreet use, with the controller and radio device worn under clothing, while the exposed components are designed to mimic the appearance of standard civilian mobile phone headsets without providing any phone functionality.
The CLARUS VIP COVERT system configuration includes a key-fob style Push-to-Talk (PTT) device, providing discreet radio operation when used.
Utilizing Silynx's proprietary in-ear microphone and noise protection technology, the headset provides both impulse and steady-state noise protection. Enhanced hearing and natural sound localization are available when connected to the Clarus control box (sold separately). This allows users to maintain full situational awareness while communicating clearly, even in high-noise environments.
The system incorporates Silynx's "Talking from the Ear" microphone technology, which captures the user's inner auditory echo to transmit clear voice communication without requiring a traditional boom or lapel microphone.
Designed for operational reliability and long-term wear, the CLARUS VIP COVERT system is lightweight, ergonomic, fully waterproof, and simple to use. It supports multiple communication configurations, including wired Push-to-Talk operation or wireless PTT control via the key-fob included in the system configuration.
The system features plug-and-play simplicity and includes interchangeable radio connection leads, enabling compatibility with a wide range of communication devices.

How Silynx Cables Work — One Control Box, Every Radio
The Silynx ecosystem is modular by design. The headset, the control box, and the radio cable are three separate components — connected by Quick Disconnect (QDC) on the headset side and a radio-specific connector on the radio side. When you change radios, you change the cable, not the headset or controller. This is the single biggest cost-and-logistics advantage Silynx delivers over fixed-cable competitor systems.
Engineered to Perform. Proven Under Fire.
From development to deployment, every Silynx system is purpose-built to give operators the communication edge that turns chaos into coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still looking for an answer?
What NRR rating do Silynx in-ear headsets provide?
Silynx PROTEGO PRO in-ear headsets deliver NRR 31 dB — the highest available in an in-ear tactical headset. provide both passive noise isolation from precision-molded ear tips and active impulse-noise compression.
What's the difference between PROTEGO PRO, STD, SNG, and MLD?
PROTEGO PRO is the flagship dual-ear headset with NRR 31 dB and TRUE VOICE in-ear microphone. PROTEGO STD is the standard dual-ear option. PROTEGO SNG is a single-ear variant for situational awareness on the unprotected side. PROTEGO MLD is a molded custom-fit option. All connect to any Silynx control box via Quick Disconnect.
Can I wear Silynx in-ear headsets with helmets and glasses?
Yes. Silynx in-ear headsets sit entirely inside the ear canal — zero interference with helmets, ballistic eyewear, gas masks, or riot visors. Unlike over-ear earmuffs, there's no seal break from glasses temples.
How long can I wear Silynx in-ear headsets comfortably?
All day. Each system ships with 6 size options (3 ear tip sizes × 2 lens sizes). An 8-hour comparative comfort trial by a European federal police force confirmed Silynx was the only system users agreed to wear continuously without removal.
Do the in-ear headsets include a microphone?
Yes. Silynx In-Ear headsets include TRUE VOICE in-ear microphone technology — a pin-sized mic integrated into the earbud stem that captures natural speech directly from the ear canal. No boom mic, no lapel mic, no external hardware.
Are Silynx in-ear headsets waterproof?
Yes. All Silynx in-ear headsets are rated IP68 — fully dust-tight and waterproof. Immersion ratings range from 1 meter to 20 meters depending on the cable configuration.
What control box do I need with these headsets?
Silynx in-ear headsets connect to any Silynx control box via Quick Disconnect: CLARUS I for dual-radio, CLARUS II for triple-radio, FORTIS for quad-network, or Clarus Pro X for standalone hearing protection without radio. Choose based on how many radio networks you operate
