Excellent for what it is - Peltor ComTac IV Hybrid Communication Headset, Single Comm, Flexi Boom Mic

So if you get these for ear pro you'll be disappointed. They're expensive and don't provide much protection. But if you get 'em for comms use in noisy environments and/or using a suppressed weapon, they're great. Comfortable, light. However they do work best without a helmet.

So it gets the 4 stars due to lack of usability with a helmet (you can do it but it doesn't work that great). Doesn't really fit well under one either, you'd have to mount 'em to the rails. Works best with a boonie hat, ball cap, pc, watch cap, Crye soft cover for concurrent NODs use or nothing at all.

In most instances the Comtac 3's will be a better choice and they cost less, provide better protection and work well with a helmet.

For a sniper team? Not wearing a helmet, need comms? These are the way to go.
