The sound of their suppressors is, for the most part, okay. In some cases the sound of their suppressors is even a little better than some of the competition. Where they often fall short (IMHO) of being a "best of breed" product is in materials, construction, etc. Their is a difference in grades of SS for example. But the problem is you will never convince the typical bargain shopper who is only motivated by price tag.
One example is over on ar15.com where some idiot was actually arguing that a YHM SS 5.56 suppressor would last the same firing schedule as an AAC M4-2000 with a full Inconel core. It is simply not possible. The Inconel material will outlast the SS material. It withstands the heat and fights the erosion better. There is simply no arguing about it yet some idiot YHM fan doesn't want to admit that his product has inferior materials. That isn't to say his YHM suppressor won't serve him well for a long time. It is just a fact that the one material is superior in erosion resistance than the other material. Yet the guy continues to argue. Makes him look like a moron really.
Buy once cry once, but don't overbuy. If the YHM product does what you want it to do, go for it. It is a "good value" after all. :)
