HSI TACTICAL HEADSET
The HSI headset is an extremely rugged, single-sided, lightweight headset designed for infantry soldiers.
The HSI headset is usually sold as part of the HSI headset system but is also available as a standalone option to connect to Silynx CLARUS or FORTIS controllers.
The HSI is uniquely designed to be worn over passive earmuffs or dedicated headset plugs, providing passive or active noise protection when wearing the headset.
The HSI Tactical Headset supports single- or dual-radio versions and is designed to be ambidextrous, allowing for both left- or right-head mounting using the same unit. The HSI is designed to be worn under a helmet.
The HSI headset boom microphone is offered with electret or differential microphones and is built using proprietary Silynx structural technology, ensuring years of use without affecting the plastic and elastic properties.
Waterproof/immersion options include IP68 (1 meter for 30 minutes, swim-proof) or 10 meters dive-proof.

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.
Your Voice Is Your Weapon. We Make Sure It's Heard.
Silynx ensures that every command, callout, and critical word reaches its target - loud, clear, and without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still looking for an answer?
What is a single-sided tactical headset?
A single-sided headset covers one ear with a boom microphone, leaving the other ear open for natural ambient hearing. Designed for infantry soldiers, maritime operators, and vehicle crews who need radio comms without full dual-ear hearing protection.
When should I choose single-sided over dual in-ear?
Choose single-sided when your mission requires one ear completely open for natural hearing (no electronic pass-through), when you prefer a traditional boom microphone for voice pickup, or when your unit standard requires a conventional headset form factor.
What is the Madonna headset?
"Madonna" is the field nickname for Silynx single-sided headsets due to their over-one-ear design. The HSI is the most common Madonna-style headset in the Silynx lineup, widely used by infantry units.
