3m makes just the product

All my dudes can be wearing peltors and I’d still be shouting to have them hear me, and they still can’t hear dick

But the crew is plugged into an intercom

So that’s where you’re going to find yourself with this comtac situation

Unless everyone in your factory springs for VIs and you all talk using NIB

Unironically, regular noise cancelling headphones over foamies are infinitely more comfortable in a constant noise workplace

Ok THAT is actually starting to make sense. So basically the only advantage to basic ear pro would be not having to take them off to talk to someone? And there's a possibility they'll amplify 85Db machines and be worse?

there is that chance. 85 db is right at the cut off

They will amplify literally everything that makes noise in your workplace

which is why people just use "dead" ear pro

OR

they use electronics headset, and ear plugs underneath

I hope you like listening to that machinery just get piped through your headset all day if you use active earpro

constant protection but you can actually hear people

Computer fan? Make that 10x louder

Machinery clank? Retard loud

or you could just turn the volume down

yeah really

Or just take off regular earpro

it's not like it's automatically set to 85 db

And put it back on

So what is the sound adjustment for then? Seems stupid to not be able to change the threshold.

For gunshots retard

oh you can turn the amplification down?

Comtacs also have the unique ability to amplify stupid shit that shouldn’t be amplified at an exponentially higher rate than other shit like voices

at my old job there was a constant chance something loud could happen at any time

You can set it pretty low but then they're just dumb headphones

so it was pretty much all the time ear pro for me

and then you can't talk to anyone

You can turn the volume down but then it all goes down and you can’t talk

And you’re still getting the annoying noise piped through the headphones

So basically there is nothing that will let you have a conversation around loud machines while protecting you?I'm looking for something that doesn't exist?

🤔

It doesn’t need to be loud for machinery buzzing through shitty comtac speakers to be annoying

cata posted one earlier
