Review for model:

The headphones protect hearing very well. They are very comfortable to wear, even with regular ear pads (not gel ones), and also when wearing glasses. The sound is exceptionally high quality, noise is effectively and quickly dampened, and radio conversations are clear on both sides. They can also be conveniently used under a helmet. The price was the best among the available offers, and the shipment arrived extremely fast.

Peltors are indestructible; they're not afraid of rain, frost, or mud. The quality and clarity of sound are incomparable with headphones costing 300~600 PLN (Impacts, Earmors, Walkers, etc.). You can turn them up loud enough to hear more than you would normally. At the same time, they have an earplug mode that amplifies so much that you can wear foam earplugs underneath and still hear everything. I tested them while firing a Carl Gustav grenade launcher—they handle it. When connected to a radio, you can hear communication in the headphones even without batteries (just much quieter). Batteries are quickly replaceable, but with AA batteries they still last several days. The headphones themselves are also very comfortable, my ears didn’t get tired, I wore them for dozens of hours at a time without a break. Downsides: - Price - Once, during heavy chaos when about 130 rifles were firing and a lot was happening with a connected radio, they seemed to overload and turned off; I immediately turned them back on and they kept working. - If you’re not using the radio, the cables can be pretty annoying. - The radio cable is long enough to be annoying without a radio because there's nowhere to stow it, but at the same time, it’s short enough that PTT has to be clipped high near your head—it could be a few centimeters longer. In summary, if you only need them for civilian shooting, it's not worth overspending. Walkers are enough, or Sordins (if you want better sound quality). If you care about sound quality and need something indestructible, with the additional possibility to work with a radio, these headphones are a "must-have" and “you’ll be satisfied.” If you’re starting a military service adventure, I recommend investing in them; it's worth paying the 2700 PLN for health and comfort.

Very good headphones. Really good noise cancellation, the microphones work great. Lots of functions. Comfortable even with standard ear pads. The declared battery life is a bit short. I recommend them.

A classic from Peltor. Very good hearing protectors. No discomfort even when worn for a long time and they do their job 100%. I recommend trying them.
