That's why I'm working on finding an old pair of Comtacs.

Oh aight yeah that makes sense

I'm surprised you ain't heard of fanuc

lool Comtacs

What brand of robots y'all running

just get a $50 headset

Chinese shit.

I see

The eternal chinaman

instead of a $300 headset that will get stolen or destroyed

Or do you mean ROBOT robots? As in the arms?

comtacs aren't the best ear pro tbh

as opposed to not robot robots

I figured it would be better to buy a nice pair that I could eventually use for shooting too.

especially with the "Better" gel cups that make it bearable to wear for long periods of time

Where I work, robot specifically means robot arm.

comtacs are primarily for comms and situational awareness, not to keep your ears protected tbh

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

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

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
