I am looking for earplugs that will fit under my ear muffs, for when I'm at the rifle range. Has anyone used these under their ear muffs? Do they fit?

These fit entirely in my ears (I have small ear canals and hate the foam ones). I use them for indoor shooting under my ear muffs with no discomfort. They are the most comfortable ear plugs I have found, and I have tried a lot of different ones!

I wear ear plugs with the face shield. Ear muffs might be tough. You might be able to do it if they were the type that you could turn the head band down on, say to the back of the head, if they the band wasn't tight.

Dear Mark, thanks for your question. These earplugs are not designed to completely cut out sounds but retain the sounds that are in the healthy range for our ears so that we still can hear music or conversations without damaging our ears in places with very loud noises. I am not sure if is what you are looking for. If you wanted complete silence then maybe an active noise cancellation earplugs or foam earplugs should work.

yes, apparently the HY80 Gel Cups will fit these muffs and offer great improvement. I have not tried it myself but I'm about to buy some and try to fit them. Cost USD $40-$55 depending on where you get them. there are some on amazon under $40USD. They are expensive but they basically turn these $100 muffs into $200+ muffs as the chip in these is very good (as good as some of the big $ models). the only areas these lack is robustness (the really exxy stuff is water and dust proof) and in the quality of the cups. HY80 will fix that problem. :)

Mine are excellent for the noise, but they are just so bulky. I don't really like the way they fit.. I will get different ones that are not so big , bulky and heavy.. when I shoot at the local indoor range here , they make sweat like crazy.. LOL...

The ear bud should fit fine inside them. I would get "skull candy" (brand name) ear buds good quality for the price. I use my earmuffs at an indoor shooting range and like them a lot.

I'd say don't waste your money. These don't fit well and therefore won't block noise well. You would be better off buying silicone accordion style earplugs like those used in industrial/factory settings. As least you can get those to fit tightly in the ear canal and are easy to remove.

Mine work perfectly rain, snow, sleet. You should have enhanced hearing and gunshots should be muffled. Have you ever used regular ones or is this the first time you have used a product like this? If so, have someone else try them. If still to loud and sharp, something may be defective.

No, they would not be good for shooting range noise. They are good for constant low frequency noises, but gunfire would still be heard. They are better off with those foam earplugs you can get from the the drugstore. I used to be on a rifle team and those help considerably.

I've used this brand of earplugs for over 4 years. To be honest, I've actually used a single pair of earplugs for months lol. Maybe some people think I'm gross, but whatever :)

I use these at the shooting range to suppress the sound at an indoor range. While shooting my instructor had to get right up next to me to say something for me to hear him. I can't remember if I heard the others shooting for I was concentration on my own shots. It is definitely going to deaden the sound for sure. Good luck studying!!!!

They do a great job at an indoor firing range, so I'm sure they would work for general noise. However, they are bulky - have you tried the foam ear plugs? If this is what you are looking for, these would be a great choice

If you mean like would I use these if I went to a shooting range....not unless I put in those orange foam hearing protectors first. They would work very like for that purpose not enough foam in the lining.

The 3M earplugs will greatly reduce the radio volume that reaches the ear, but won't completely block it. I just tried it while watching TV. Shooters sometimes wear earplugs and noise blocking earmuffs in addition to achieve maximum sound reduction. There are muffs available that electronically block sound - I've not used them however.Another choice would be to have the the person listening to the radio wear earphones that automatically silence the radio speakers when the earphones are plugged in.

I have not done any shooting but I can say that these reduce noise although perhaps not enough for that kind of noise. If you are not looking for fidelity in the sound that goes into your ears, I would look for stronger protection if I were you.

Shooting ranges might not know these provide adequate hearing protection. They may want you to wear more familiar mufflers or plugs. The same way they will put magnet to check a bimetal hollow point. Then claim it cannot be fired there due to have iron or steel in the bullet. Even though its a hollow point and won't damage the targets. A combination of ignorance and inflexibility.

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.
