To put it simply, is a gunshot louder with the mic turned up to hear range commands than with it off?

NO. I think some are having trouble understanding the concept. The sound will be reduced by the same amount with the unit turned on or off. That's passive unlike active like noise-cancelling muffs like Bose. When turned on, it will amplify sound below 82db. (A busy street is more than 82db) Anything below 82db, like a range instructor's commands, will be amplified and you can turn the volume all the way up and leave it their. When a sound is above the cutoff of 82db, like a gunshot, the mics will shut off and go back into passive mode until the sound drops below the cutoff, and then go back to amplified mode. The mics will never amplify a sound greater than the cutoff of 82db. Hope this helps. NO. I think some are having trouble understanding the concept.

It does seem to be louder. I just turned them down a bit while shooting is actually going on

I never turned it up all the way. Never had to. What I did is turn it up enough to hear the instructor very clearly, as if you and I were talking without them on. These are really nice. You won't be sorry. I wish I had bought the electronic years ago. If you take a look as even the higher priced ones the decibel its protected to is the same.

It depends on how loud it is. Most normal background noises are eliminated but very loud noises will still be heard. To compensate you raise the level of sound in the head set.

No I wouldn't shoot continuously but its accuracy is remarkable, well maybe that's the shooter who is accurate. Practice somewhere else, then be accurate and one shoot should do it. lol It's not much louder than an air nail gun and if you shoot from in the house your neighbors will never know.

I live in a similar neighborhood, I shoot it all the time in my backyard. The sound level is no louder than a hand clap, if that loud.

Flash is reduced but it makes it significantly louder. Recoil is decreased less muzzle rise

Yes. It has a feature to automatically adjust chat volume according to the sound signal, ie what's going on in the game. So if youre in a loud cinematic in game moment, the chat will also j crease in volume. I turn the sound down most of the time unless I'm gaming alone. I personally I don't like the feature because it sounds like people are uelling in your ear when the music gets loud

No it does not have any kind sound or recoil supression. But it is Not loud. A friend bought a silencer for his but he says it really did'nt make much of a difference.

This is the 2nd one that I've owned (I lost the first one) and I've never had anyone complain about not hearing me. The M155 also has a toggle volume control. I hope this helps.

I cannot hear the sound. however, you may want to check your municipality's sound ordinance. I you are not exceeding those decible levels, then you have little to worry about.. Guns are noisy, so what!os

No. I would say it is not, but I've never had a loud sound get through. The volume of ambient noise has a wide range of adjustment and this brand of muffs returns your normal hearing (after a blast) quicker than the other brands. This is why you pay a little more for these. Better technology.

It's slightly louder than a cap gun, but doesn't sound near as loud as a REAL gun.

I've turned off the power to the Ear Muffs and you can't hear much. I guess they are about the same as a non-powered ear muff. But with the power on and set, they work great. you hear everyone around you, but when there is a gun bang, it shuts most of it out. I don't know how they do it, but it works great!

Yes, you can choose "VAS" (Voice Activated System) from the menu. Also, you can adjust the trigger threshold audio level.

You can push that button to cue up your mic instead of pressing the button on the piece that clips to your vest. Its a little more stealth.

I agree with the other answer, it has two settings, but I think it depends on how good or bad your hearing is, mine is very good, and as a result, even the low is loud to me. Maybe it makes a difference if the user is not in the room, for which, it might do the trick. I don't use mine, because it's so loud and disturbs the dog, as well. I'd prefer a red light perhaps, which this does not have.

I would say loud. I dont consider it loud but while playing games with friends in skype or other Voips They have heard the clicks clearly. I do however own a Blue Snoball mic.

On the right hand side, it doesn't show up in the picture. Volume control has a single knob, all the way CCW is off (with a click), then CW (clock-wise) to increase volume. Handy to have the "off" function in the volume control.
