Adding another 31db of attenuation inside the earcup may be good for

For my headset, I haven't noticed the speakers being overloaded...
Yeah, I have to turn the headset volume control up a bit, but the
sound does not appear to be distorted like you would see on the old
TVs with their tiny speakers when you turned them up too loud...
