Question about the AT-PRO waterproof headphones?

Do they have any kind of volume control? How loud are they compared to say about half volume on the standard AT headphones? I want to get a pair but not if they are going to blow my hearing on land or they don't have enough volume for my limited hearing. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

I thought with the machine costing what it dos and the at pro being designed to go under water that they would of give us some waterproof ones well ones that was suitable for land and water any ways but guess its always a nice way for companys to make bit extra money knowing any one doing water hunting is going to need a pair

I've got the waterproof headphones and really like them...they are comfortable, as a matter of fact, I've not used the land ones yet. Sailorman told me to put some sort of foam inside the cups, so I did, and they are great...I'm hard of hearing in one ear, and cant hardly hear out of the other one either, but the phone volumn seems perfect to me, so I dont know if I'll ever use the land ones except for a backup..I really needed the waterproof ones to hunt in the rain as well out in the Big Lake when the surf is up. They dont have independant volumn control, so you might have to use foam to get it right.

No volume control, but just use foam or cloth to quite it down if they are to loud.

That's a GREAT suggestion to use foam in the earphones! It is a really noisy machine to not have a volume option in the (waterproof) headset.

Yup, I put a piece of 1/8" neoprene in each cup, works great for me. They do have a very different sound then land headphones but that's true of any waterproof ones. Not bad, just different.

No volume control. Others have stuck Styrofoam in them to muffle them.
