I have a M813 5 Ton cargo with a NTC 250. It is loud at idle but, I wear hearing protection while driving, so on radio or talking to your passengers. I have looked into the military headsets that they use on Helicopters and other vehicles, but I remember from being in the Corp. That these are uncomfortable and complicated. A buddy pointed me to pilot headsets but these are expensive and complicated too. Then I came across racing headsets for BAJA trucks and Rally racing. I spoke to Mark at Rugged Radios .com they had the perfect kit. It is comfortable, can listen to the radio, when passengers talk it lowers the radio and returns it when they stop talking, can use my Ipod and can receive calls from my Iphone. This kit also has the DSP chip which filters out the background noise when talking on the phone or to passengers. Plus I am not cooking my head while talking on the phone and have both hands on the wheel. I hope this helps others, who are having the same issues!
