OK but not great Aug 03, 2008
The fit and function is OK but the electronics are open to moisture if you sweat.

If you are a shooter, You Need This Product!! Jun 13, 2008
This is a great product. I have used standard Peltor Hearing Protection for years. When I noticed the price on active hearing protection prices were coming down, I decided to get a pair. At $69.95 this was a great value.

Range testing proved that it was the best $69.00 I ever spent. You can actually hear better with these on! It keeps harmful noise out but allows conversation through. It blocked sounds from a 12 Gauge shotgun and from my 2-stroke weed wacker.

Great product at a great price.

Good with a couple room for improvements May 26, 2008
The on/off-volume nobs rub against the frame so when putting them away alot of times they will turn back on then next time you go to use them dead batteries, in one ear.

Changing the batteries/putting the battering in is awful. You have to tear the black part off it feels like you are going to rip them or break them which I am sure a few people have by grabbing the wrong part.

Instructions suck ^^^ relating to putting in the batteries, how about a decent picture or two.

Skullclamp, if you wear them for longer then about 4 hours your skin will begin to grow around them as if they are an extension of you skull they are so tight.

======================

Very good noise reduction, I use with guns and power tools. Its scary when you turn on a saw and all you hear is nothing but you feel the cool breeze coming off the blade.

Excellent May 17, 2008
I use it for IPSC. Excellent, you can talk without being disturbed by people shooting near you. They are also very light.
Highly recommended.

Awesome ear protection May 15, 2008
I use these for competition and they do an awesome job of allowing me to hear other shooters but blocks out all the shots. When wearing them, I can snap my fingers and you can hear the tone difference in each ear. For the price, they really can't be beat.
