In a word: awesome! I use this headset in semi-enclosed booth; where 25 fencers make the powder talk. Personally, I shoot at the Desert Eagle and it's pretty loud. This headset allows you to have a conversation with someone while others are firing. The audio system is excellent, the sound is reproduced with high fidelity, only the bangs are clipped. The price at which it is proposed, it is a very good deal. A "must have" for any shooter or hunter!
