its not even the comfort
a lot of the "comms" type headsets don't offer great protection
I was going to get a wrap around pad for the headband. And I need to be able to hear people around me.
This has to be learned helplessness
do people typically wear earplugs under comtacs
yes
no
I have impact pros, I used to wear winchesters
....don't comtacs literally protect from gunshots?
🤔
yeah but they offer.... 18 db protection?
i think it's like 24
but not great
If you turn them off yeah
@AnEvalach What part is learned helplessness? Because I'm feelin some of that and it ain't easy to fight off.
you're still listening to loud as fuck gunshots
the DB has just been reduced so you're not deaf
the fact that you're allowing yourself to suffer the negative consequences of working in a shitty chink shithole and do nothing about it
Yeah that's fair to some extent. Like I said though, I'm looking for a new job already.
If you don't wear foamies, or at least buy some cheap overears at walmart/home depot tomorrow, I think you're beyond help
you can still get tinnitus wearing comtacs
you're still being subjected to "loud" sounds
gotta double up nigga
Fuck really? ok. Well, if I can still hear people talking with comtacs + foamies then that's fine.
not doubling up is pretty cringe tbh
Is it necessary for 100 Db environments, or just gun shots?
my ar knocks my ears slightly off my head pretty frequesntly
everything helps
You know they make electronic ear pro that isn’t comtacs right
>inb4 howard leight impact
peltor sports
🤷🏿
those walker things
yeah, but I wanted to get something good really good.
is it worth buying anything that isn't impacts or peltors
impacts give such good value
The sport peltors are fine
what's the difference?
I would like to be able to use them with my radio if possible.
They’ve got a 3.5 mm jack, I’m sure they make some stupid ptt that would work with a baofeng
