Russian WWII tank helmet headset
On the internet, I found this interesting picture of a Russian WWII tank crew.
The crew member in the foreground wears a tank helmet with earphones and throat microphones.
Such a tank helmet with a headset is it exactly the same production as a tank helmet without a headset?
Was it built in the tank helmet during manufacturing or was it added later?
How does this headset looks like? Does anyone have pictures of such a headset?

Russian tank helmet with a headset
It seems that it is a headset from a German flying helmet but I don't think it is. These tank helmets with a headset can be seen on more WWII pictures.
On this picture you can see three tankers with a tank helmet equipped with a headset. The headphones look the same.

I think it's the same type as used in aircraft pilot headset too. This type of tanker headset had round type of connector made from bakelite or aluminium, same as used in aircraft headset. I've found one at T34/85 crushsite and was curious why it was there (first thought was that they had pilot aboard ) My idea is that this type was issued by vechicle commander.

Russian WWII tank helmet headset
Bagration, thank you for your very informative response. The link to the Russian website is also very interesting. I also like your example af a modified Luftwaffe Lkpw101 flight helmet into a Soviet tank helmet.
On the internet I found this interesting picture which is out of a Soviet news film. The film is about the front in Poland in 1945.
