Jamiewa Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can anyone suggest a make of good in ear defenders which let you hear natural sounds? I feel so cut off from the coutnryside with my cheap over ear defenders, plus they can get in the way of the stock sometimes. I looked at the Cens digital which look great..but had a shock to see they are about £500 so wondered if there is a cheaper moulded alternative out there. I always find the generic foam things fall out of my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Not 'in ear', but try the Napier Pro 9 ear defenders. Lightweight and very comfortable, they allow all 'natural' sounds to be heared, but cut out shotgun blasts. The Pro 10 ones are for centerfire rifles.

sterling Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Give the Surefire EP4 or EP3 a try. I paid £16 for a pair and they were a great buy. You can still hear conversation, leaves rustling etc. but they reduce gunshots to a comfortable and safe level. They are fine for any outdoor shooting. This may sound daft, but learn how to properly fit in-ear plugs. Reach over your head, lift the ear up to straighten the canal, insert the plug. Makes a world of difference to how effective they are.

agjm Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Another vote for the pro 9s. I find them very comfortable and easy to hear through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linny Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 i have some electronic ear definders like the deben ones and they are very good you can turn them right up and heare all sorts but cut out all loud gun shot sounds you can even hear wing beets clearly i like mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Although I mentioned the Napier Pro 9's, I also have, and use, Howard Leight electronic ear defenders. These are light in weight, and will amplify sounds like leaves rustling or speech, but cut out all harmful noise. Priced at around £56, they are excellent value for money. There is also an option to plug an mp3 player into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
