Sena Tufftalk Lite Helmet-Mounted Earmuffs

Sena Tufftalk Lite helmet-mounted earmuffs combine hearing protection with Bluetooth intercom, so a climber and ground crew can talk over saw and chipper noise. The helmet-mount version attaches to compatible helmets instead of using a headband.

Why crews use communication earmuffs

Shouting between a climber and the ground crew over a running saw does not work, and missed calls are how pieces get dropped on people. The Tufftalk Lite builds intercom into earmuffs you already need for hearing protection, so climber and groundie can call cuts, lowers, and stops clearly.

The helmet-mount version clips to compatible helmet slots, which keeps it in place on the climb. Check helmet compatibility before ordering. See more crew communication gear, including replacement parts.

Fit, protection, and backup signals

Earmuffs only protect your hearing when they seal well, so set the mount for a firm, even seal and check the noise reduction rating on the listing. Charge the headset before each day, and pair units at the truck before anyone climbs.

Headsets also help on the ground. The person on the lowering line can hear the climber's call over the chipper, and the climber can hear when someone is clear of the drop zone. That clearer back and forth speeds up rigging and makes it easier to stop work fast when something looks wrong. Agree on short, standard calls so every message is quick and clear.

Radios and headsets can fail, so keep agreed hand and whistle signals as a backup and use command-and-response communication as ANSI Z133 expects.
