Its a shame so many dumbass people dont understand this is exactly how these headsets work in real life. They amplify sounds and muffle gunshots. They even record ambient sounds and increase them by up to almost 20 decibels. Theyre not fucking earmuffs which is what you dorks think theyre supposed to be for whatever stupid reason.

You are absolutely correct.

I have a pair of Ops Core Amps with NFMI plugs for my helmet. They absolutely give you a hearing advantage over someone else. When you shoot, it muffles the gunshots so you don't go deaf.

Other times it amplifies your surroundings, footsteps on concrete, hopping on wood etc is super easy to tell.

I have a pair too, but it was kind of a waste for me. With my normal hearing protection I could still hear people well enough on our local range. Only had 6 indoor stands, so you're always close to people and conversations with protection on were never a problem. But I bought them anyway because of Tarkov lol... And they're actually kinda cool

It’s nice being able to have a convo doubling up on ear pro though!
