TaxiDriver Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ive got a Deben pair that were £55 at my local RFD, Seem to work perfectly well. That said, the first pair did seem to go dead on one side, my RFD was a little suprised but changed them without argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeedoodlepigeon Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have the Deban ones and found them a bit uncomfy and small for my ears (and others that have tried them) was thinking of getting some Howard Leight till i got some sport tac for sale on here and found them a lot softer and more comfy than the Debans. I have the Napier ones too and unless you have massive ear canals I would not bother with them and don't think they cut out that much noise.

JustJon Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have some generic ones and find they buzz (not sure that's the right noise?) a lot, even with volume turned low. Would this go away on more pricey ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tis1979 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Deben light weight are good only swapped to pelter as my bro got me some and my mate needed some so he got the debens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edr Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Cant beat pelter sport tac's not cheap but it does away with all the buzzing. I had to change the batteries after 2 years and I shoot three times a week + afternoons decoying, evenings roosting etc. Best buy i ever had £49 from america (when the dollar was gd) EdR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beno Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Peltor sporttac had mine a few years now and going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Over the years I've bought and used a number of different makes of electronic ear protectors. The first were Deben, when they were just short of £100. After a few years one side packed in. I returned them to Deben for repair; almost £40 lighter they were returned, only to go faulty again within a few months. The next pair, I purchased off ebygumbay for around £55, they were supplied in a nice black plastic case. I have a friend and fellow PW member who has quite recently bought a pair of the same muffs, but badge engineered Napier of London. He paid around £90. Mine went faulty after a couple of years, I didn't bother trying to get them repaired. I saw a favourable report on PW for the Howard Leight, and bought a pair off ebygumbay for around £60. Brilliant, the best that I've tried by far. Also handy if you utilise two way radios on the shoot. Ironically my mate with the Napier electronics also experienced a malfunction on one side. He returned them under guarantee, they were rectified for free. However we did a comparitive test by swapping to each others ear muffs to try them, and both concluded that the Howard Leight were streets ahead. I have tried the Peltor Sportac, they worked fine, but no way were they £40 worth better than the Howard Leight. You pays your money, and make your choice, but its Howard Leight for me. webber Edited August 29, 2011 by webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't know if i've got funny 'lug placement or what but i can't use my Howard Leight's for clay shooting, the stock of my gun pushes them off my ear/they interfere with my mount. Try before you buy if you can, i can only use mine for the indoor rifle range Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try before you buy if you can, i can only use mine for the indoor rifle range Mark You're not alone, they're pretty chunky. They don't seem to be so much of an issue in the field, when shots are taken in haste. I find if I slide the stock side up as far as it goes, I can get by.
