Adding another 31db of attenuation inside the earcup may be good for

For my headset, I haven't noticed the speakers being overloaded...
Yeah, I have to turn the headset volume control up a bit, but the
sound does not appear to be distorted like you would see on the old
TVs with their tiny speakers when you turned them up too loud...



Of course, this doesnt solve the one of the main comfort issues in hot &
humid areas, SWEATTY EARS.. but it's certainly a cheap way to enhance ear
protection with traditional headsets.
