I have not been fortunate enough to do anything but hold pel tors or other $500 + ears, but for 35 dollars I think these deliver. Granted, I have only worn them a handful of times after getting them on a black friday deal they work as advertised so far, and the ear cups are far more padded and comfortable than that on the Walkers. That being said, I don't trust these not to drain my batteries while turned off so I do take them out after each range trip. Also, they come with what I can only describe as an AUX chord to plug in to a radio or something, which I have not seen on any electronic since about the Iphone 6. So definitely behind the times there. But, again, these were 35 dollars on black friday so I can't complain too much. I wouldn't pay over 100 or whatever BS they claim is MSRP.
Everything about this knife is purpose built for self defense in an EDC role. If you want to make it a utility knife I'm sure it would do that as well, but that's not what it is meant to be. If you want to go down a rabbit hole look into Michael Janich and how he helped design this knife for self defense and knife fighting, it's a wild world. That all being said the one thing I don't love is the pocket clip on here. I have had some issues with screws coming loose or the clip getting caught on things that I haven't experienced with other knives. But overall, Spyderco killed it with this one.
I ordered this version while a friend of mine spent a little more and got the slimmer "LE" version. I would 100% recommend shelling out the little bit of extra money for the LE and saving some height and weight on your handguard, especially if doing any form of RECCE build where weight is a huge concern. Further when using an LPVO it obscured a much larger portion of the glass if you don't have taller rings. For close quarters and shorty rifles with higher optics mounts this would be a fantastic option.
