Im just curious, whats the purpose in this? If it doesnt actually supress the sound any what does it do? Serious question, not trying to pick a fight or anything.

It gave the gun I built the look I wanted. There is a long series of paper work and background checks to get a genuine suppressor, not to mention the expense.

Its just so you can look like you've got a suppressor on your rifle... I wouldn't waste your time or money on any of these.... Just my opinion.

US law dictates that overall lenght (OAL) of the rifle needs to be 30" so as not to be considered and SBR. I *think* this fake suppressor threads and extends the barrel and not simply slips over the barrel and hides a portion of the barrel like some fake suppressors do.

That's a pretty lame description of the problem. Details, please. "My sound didn't increase at all." This means next to nothing . . .

The only reason I can think of is if you have overfilled the device, otherwise it should not make that sound. Hope this helps-D

The silencer does work, it does narrow down the sound with it. It doesn't get annoyingly loud with the silencer but it does sound as if the silencer is moving. Honestly, I would take it of but it's your option. I noticed the difference the moment I took it of from the outside and inside of my car.

I think it could reduce the noise a lot. The other morning I was sleeping wearing these ear plugs, and I guess someone just accidentally triggered the fire alarm in the building. Usually, one can hardly stand the extreme harsh sound if he stays in the room, but that day my first reaction was the alarm was not in my building.

Well, yes, it does. It will still cut the output volume down some (don't know actual, just seems maybe to 2/3rds). You will loose some of the bottom end of the sound and it will be muffled somewhat. I wouldn't do that for a performance, but for a quieter practice it should help.

Not at all! As a matter of fact, it makes it louder and focuses the sound towards the front. Kind of cool!

Thanks for the reply,Does it only mask other people's music if you have music on? Like Bradley I want mostly noise cancelation, not too much worried about music. Thanks again

These are not active noise reducers like Bose headsets, but have a very high amount of passive noise reduction. They muffle everything. The electronics are there to add sound back in, which would be the sounds you want to hear - basically everything between the gunshots. When the electronics detect a loud sound, the amplification is cut out. That's how these and every other electronic ear protection function which are good enough to suppress gunshots.

When you hold down the one and try extending the headphones, it acts as a barrier from it extending. Its kind of hard to explain. Like, it makes it so that if your head fits the 1 setting, you dont have to pulling and tugging on the sides. All you'd have to do is press the 1 and pull and it will go to its specified extent and wont go any further. I hope that explained it...

When I first used it I found I had to turn the volume down as I could hear everything including the movement of my clothing. However, mine did block the loud close shots. Hopefully you are only hearing shots further down the firing line. If you turned down the volume and are still not getting your shots muffled then you have a problem with your unit.

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

I would think that normal ear defenders or mufflers would be better,these will dampen sound but are designed to shut of the amplified sound when a gun is fired for a fraction of a second then will go back to normal.I use these for shooting trap.

It is very loud. So much so I find it offensive. I do know a person very hard of hearing can hear it. I like it very much. I have others and I find this one the best. Good luck!!

It is an amplifier, which means it increases the volume all along the spectrum, but I would say that it only makes your headphones louder. I don't use it anymore with my headphones as they have sufficient volume without it, and makes it too loud for comfortable hearing if I crank it up.

I use mine when I am mowing the grass, using the string trimmer, and target shooting. It works very well for me. It does not dampen 100% because I can still hear things going on around me. It certainly dampens most of the loud noises.

The exterior ring of the circle on the front of it acts as a volume control 'button'...you press the top part of it to make it get louder, the lower part to make it quieter...works very well.
