Look at my review. Honset and accurate. Even if they sort of worked which they don't; the price is a ripoff and who ever is making these is clearly try to get quick buck!

I've purchased the lower priced ear protection enough times over the last twelve years that I could have purchased the higher priced MSA a couple times over. I have only had them on the range a handful of times but I am completely satisfied with the way they compress the noise level rather than mute.

Hi! Indeed, you can adjust these. Each ear muff will slide up or down on the stiff wires they are attached to. The part which goes over the head is spring steel, and is not adjustable independently, as the ear muffs are, but the lightweight wire and material on top, along with the spring tension, make it automatically adjust from side to side. I think you'll like these. I owned a crappy pair for over ten years, which were very generic and pretty uncomfortable. For the price, these are a completely different set of hearing protection from what I was used to. And, these block sound quite well. Hi! Indeed, you can adjust these.

I can't compare the QC20 with the passive earmuffs you mentioned. I can say though that the QC20 does reduce the amplitude of voices but maybe not as much as you may want. I do use them in my office while listening to soft music. People have to shake me to get my attention. You can try them risk free for 30 (90?) days.

You can. My hearing aids don't cause feedback when I wear them. I have a moderate hearing problem, so I have to wear hearing aids with these muffs, as they have more padding than the Howard Leight Sports, that are louder and allow me to take the aids off.

I suggest going for these ones rather than the M50 stock pads. Velour &gt;&gt;&gt; Pleather. I have an M50 and was very pleased when I changed the stock pads with these as it made the sound experience a bit better. I have seen pictures of pro700 mk2s having these velour pads and the owners loved it. Go for it! :)

No. At least I have never heard it with the ones I have. But remember, these are being discontinued. I have been using them for years, primarily because they are NOT distracting and just do what they are supposed to do. I'll miss them when I wear out my last set.

Hell yes just leave the silencers out! I'm cutting out my resonator behind my cat on my 04 ion even though my neighbors already complain that its too loud! I love this muffler!

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)

Did you have a bad experience with this product? We have not. I noticed that many people complain on sites like this. The Internet is full of drama. Meanwhile, we love these headphones.Mr. LCSW

Sorry, I have a 6-pound toy poodle - but I think the order page has a sizing guide. If you do order them, we have found they seal better if you lift the dogs ears up and place the Mutt Muffs directly around their ear opening. Also, don't try to put them on until the loud noise starts - that way, the dog realizes that they were uncomfortable for a short time and the Mutt Muffs helped make them more comfortable.

The noise cancellation is great and the leakage is very minimum. Someone will have to come direct and yell in order to get your attention. however, the great cancellation is also supported by the protection layer on the ear muffs which needs to be dry at ALL times. use dry rag to take off slight moister including (sweat) ever so often because it will peel off the protection.Please do dot worry about sound, it is 100% great. I bought one..... AND I LOVE IT!!!!

I have worn them for years and never had that problem. I have also had the custom fitted ones that an audiologist makes with a mold of your ear canal and they do not stick out but cost in the range of $200. For both of those I have used them for playing in bands where hearing at a diminished level is required. For just loud noise like small engines I use the ear muffs or the form-able silicon that you can buy at most drug stores which does not stick out.

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

Yes. I shoot a browning x-bolt 30-06 and a glock 21. Both are bloody loud. These do better than the orange foam stuff in ear plugs. However, you can find ear muffs that have a higher decible dapening rating and electronic opperated so they block out loud gunshot but not normal speaking, so people don't have to shout at you.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

sorta of an individual thing depending on how using earplugs. And cleanliness of ears. LOL, jut kidding. I wear my earplugs at night, so change the pair out more frequently, than if use on the shooting target range. You can look at them & see how clean they look. hope this helps.
