Very Good Hearing Protection - Highly Recommended

I liked the original model and wanted another pair for use at the range, but then saw that these updated models were available. Here are my observations:

* Comfortable; these fit well and the headband is properly angled for the liquid filled cushions on the cups to lay firmly over the ears - I have worn these for over 3 hours straight at a time

* Good Attenuation; these are good for use in most high noise areas, including when running our noisy shop compressors and at the range

Highly Recommended!

I like these so much I've added them to my EDC in the little container they come with. They work, even for up to large caliber rifles, and allow you to seamlessly transition to normal conversation between shots with no delay. I have experienced absolutely no ringing in my ears even after hundreds and hundreds of rifle and handgun rounds fired by me and in close proximity to me.
I'm very impressed. I would and regularly do recommend them to people as the best general purpose ear protection you can get.

The product is much better than expected. My husband uses the noise canceling earmuff in his woodshop, and he reports that this is the best protection he has ever had from the noise of his power tools. Highly recommended as an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Excellent and comfortable hearing protection at the shooting range, even with glasses on. Fit our large heads well and they are not too tight at all -- just followed seller's pre-printed instructions, stretching out the headband gently-- and they fit great. Wore them for over 2 hours of shooting with great sound protection.  Plan to wear them for noise cancelling on my next flight. I researched more expensive products, but I am glad I settled on these!

Excellent hearing protection at a very reasonable price.  I have not worn them shooting yet. I did wear the around the house vacuuming the floor for about a half hour and found them to be very comfortable. They definitely reduced noise effectively.

I have used several hearing protectors while shooting. These are the best. Ypu can hear instructors conversation and you still are protected from decibel damage. Bought one for each member of my family.

Fit well, tightly, and comfortably.  I have used them around power tools, lawn equipment, ATV, and high caliber firearms.  The ear muffs significantly reduced the sounds to a very low level.  I have retired from the hearing industry, so I have used custom ear plugs, other muffs. etc..  These outperform what I have had in the past.  Although I no longer have the ability to formally test them, I would estimate that the claimed 34db reduction is accurate.  Good product.  Worth every penny to protect your hearing.

I tried these at the pistol range today and found them very effective at blocking out gunshots. They protected my hearing as well as any other in-ear hearing protectors, yet they allowed me to hear everything else.

With power tools they also did OK. Of course nothing else could be heard when the miter saw was running. It clamped down that noise to a very comfortable level, yet I could hear normal conversation at other times. Nail guns, of course, weren't a problem.

It can be uncomfortable to wear for several hours, but that can be helped by trying on the different earpiece sizes to get the best fit, and by getting accustomed to having them on for extended periods. It's somewhat like learning to wear contact lenses. You get used to them. That said, one has to understand that a tight fit is needed to ensure your hearing is protected with exceptionally loud blasts.

The batteries are air-zinc so once they're installed they will last for about 5 or 6 days, even if you turn them off.

The odd sensation is the sensation of having something blocking the ear canal and expecting reduced auditory awareness, yet hearing isn't impaired much. Fidelity isn't all that great. The lows and highs are mostly missing so it sounds somewhat tinny. Yet intelligibility is adequate and, because the audio is in "stereo", directionality of sound sources is intact as well.

The noise reduction rating is far better than ear muffs and their effectiveness isn't reduced by wearing glasses. You can still wear a broad-brimmed hat or a hood, unlike earmuff-type hearing protectors. And, unlike earmuffs, ears don't get sweaty, too.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone that has the need for superior ear protection either at the range or working with machines that produce lot's of noise.  You can pay more for electronic protection, but I see no need as they are very comfortable and effectively reduce noise to a minimal level.

These are very quiet hearing protection. Have used them while mowing and also at the shooting range . Seem to be well made and should last a long time . Money well spent in my opinion .

This hearing protection works well, as advertised.  Excellent sound attenuation.  I read reviews that said the ear "cups" are very big -- and they are.  I have large ears so I wanted something with large ear cups.  These work well for me.  I use them around the house when cutting grass, using power tools, etc. so the large ear cups aren't a problem for me and they don't get in the way.  I am also a shooter and I do not use this hearing protection when shooting.  I think the large ear cups would be a in the way when shooting any kind of long gun.  Would probably be OK with a hand gun.  You will not look very cool when wearing these but they do attenuate sound well!

I've been able to use these earplugs for my shooting ( 1,500+ rounds so far ), running chain saw and my chipper / shredder. I have been very pleased with them. Molding takes 10 - 15 minutes depending how fast you come up to speed doing the first one, and in my opinion is very easy. They say up to 31 dB reduction, not sure about that, and I have no reason to doubt claim, I know they reduce perceived noise very well and better than anything else I have tried, except  over the ear cups. I like how once their properly fitted in your ear they don't come easily! I liked them so much I bought a pair for my wife, yes, in pink! She likes them a lot too. I recommend them.

Excellent hearing protection.  I especially like how flat they are on the head and don't interfere with anything and how compact they fold.

Pun intended.  Great hearing protection!  Crisp and clear.  better than the set of peltor/3M I bought a few years ago.  The old ones hiss and crackle a bit.  Will buy again, once my older ones finally crap out on me.  + the batteries are easier to replace on these.  I might just go ahead and get another pair, since I bought these for my  wife.

This earplug worked MUCH better than I expected.  I use it at the firing range - an extremely loud environment.  Its also very comfortable.  This is now my go to hearing protection.  I will be buying more.

GREAT hearing protection, especially at this cost!  I use these at the shooting range... I have several different ear muffs that I use, including some that are much more expensive and made specifically for shooters AND THESE provide much better hearing protection.... Can't go wrong for the money.

These are seriously nice ear muffs.  They are comfortable and they do a great job of reducing the sound levels with a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 30 which is about as good as it gets for ear muffs.  However, the really nice feature that makes these worth the price is the volume controlled, amplified microphones which allow you to carry on a normal conversation with someone at a gun range without having to remove your hearing protection.
