Bloke Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 can anyone recommend a good set of electronic ear defenders please , i've started to have a pain in my right ear after a good days pigeon shooting i've tried a cheap pair of peltor ones but find them both uncomfortable and and like shooting in a vacuum (not hearing pigeons coming in etc) many thanks There is quite a lot on other threads here. I recently bought a pair of Deben Slimline electronic hearing protectors and I am impressed. They make the background noise sound like you aren't wearing anything, but as soon as a shot sounds, they cut out for about a second, so you aren't deafened. They don't really amplify sound, just reproduce it at a realistic level. You can alter the volume on each earpiece - useful for me as I am nearly deaf in the right ear. Not cheap at £89, but I saw some on Fleabay yesterday for about £30, so shop around. Because they are stereo, a mate of mine who pigeon shoots says he can even tell where the pigeons are coming from, so they seem to do the job> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskymac Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I have some Peltor sportacs which are great in so much as they do everything they claim (mute the noise from the gun and amplify talking, etc), but.............to be honest I find it off-putting that you can hear everyone talking when your on the stand, so I started turning them right down and now I turn them off completely. So I'd be just as well with some ear defenders. Although I do have some for work with a built in radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest1957 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Have a pair of Bisley branded electronic ear defenders around the £90 and have never had any problems with them and they don't catch when you mount the gun which is a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfortable, light, waterproof and great sound quality and would recommend them. I also highly recommend the MSA Sordin Supreme Pro-X's. I bought a pair a couple of weeks ago with the gel ear seals. Pricey but very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Peltor Sportacs for me. Cost me about £90 but worth every penny. When out shooting alone I turn the sensitivity right up and you have bionic hearing just like having amps strapped to your head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Peltor Sportacs for me. Cost me about £90 but worth every penny. When out shooting alone I turn the sensitivity right up and you have bionic hearing just like having amps strapped to your head +1 for the sportac. if i ever lost the pair i`ve got, i`d instantly buy another pair. well worth the 100 od quid 2-3 years back. it is offputting having your mates put you off with the duck calls when clayshooting. hearing a mouse **** at 400 yards does have its advantages. ferreting with them is great, hear the first squeak then load up and wait. the only downside of bionic hearing, is walking through tall wheat. sounds like you are walking through a scrapyard !
