Grillz: a soundproof shield for your face?

PAYNER_66 · #1 11-09-2009, 01:49 AM

I have noticed when I am playing, sometimes my teammates cannot hear me yelling. Likewise, I cannot always hear them. Sometimes it is just lacking field awareness, other times it is too much noise and other factors. I was just wondering if anyone has found the Grillz to keep your voice in, and other voices out, are any other masks (I4s in particular) better about this?

well proflexes are the obvious choice just because of the bottom design i use flexes and seem they work out all good but im getting i4s for christmas and i do like them a lot

Actually I find the grill to be a very good mask for communication and breathability (SP).

As for hearing, I don't have an issue.

I agree.....I have a set of Grills, i4's, Flex's, eVents and a Save Phace and I find that I use the Grills the most. I have no problems with hearing and teammates dont have a problem hearing me.

In fact, my whole team are moving to Grills next season.

I find that Flex's help me talk but not hear, because of the soft ears I hear my gun shooting more than I hear people talking.

Never had that problem when i had a Grill.

The only mask i had problems hearing/yelling was with E-Vents - my voice just bounced inside the mask right back to me.

I think Flexs and I4s are the best in terms of communication. Grillz aren't bad by any means though.

Do I4s trap heat? I would think Events and hard framed masks would

events do get hot on the inside and form condensation, i4's havn't for me, and they def project your voice well. A lot of the people I play with use grills and i havn't had any problems hearing them

no mask can beat the a JT Flex for sounds and breathing. I own 14s, grills, events, and flexs and all of the others just echo inside - I have no problems hearing, or breathing, but I can hear my own voice when talking and my team mates have said they can't hear me worth a darn unless I'm wearing my flexs.
