Electronic ear defenders

[thinxs]

Does anyone use electronic ear defenders when pigeon shooting? Can you still hear the birds wings when they come in out of sight or people talking? Any recomended makes or models?

I've only used them on clays but you can hear everything, even the clay I missed hitting the ground.

I use them when rough shooting and you can hear everything.

Yes, a good set will allow what you want. I use MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X - not cheap, but then you only have one set of ears! - they come with a 3.5 jack to plug in to most mobile phones (for those who chose not to escape the phone when shooting)

Yep sordin pro x for me to they amplify so you can hear normal sounds better flappy wings etc

Yep, my Howard Leight Impact Sports amplify ambient sound. You can turn the amplification level up or down, or off altogether.

 

I won't shoot without them now.

 

(Also keep the ears warm on a cold, windy day )

MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X -

I own a pair of CENS proflex and a pair of MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X. I rarely use the CENS and stick to the MSAs most of the time. A pair of gel cups on them and you don't even know they're there.

 

I don't mind the CENS but the sound quality is nowhere near as good and after I first got them they weren't made right so I shot effectively with no protection due to them not fitting correctly and ended up with tinitus. I don't really trust them even though I had them remade.

Deben slimline 80 odd quid but good,turn up the volume and I can hear more ambient noise than without,if you snap a twig with your feet it will shut off for a split second though

I use the same ones as above. Brilliant bit of kit. The amplified speakers are excellent.

Ditto the Howard Leight ones, very good and not a bad price either.

I had a couple of goods days over stubbles with no ear defenders, I really suffered afterwards with ringing ears and splitting sore heads. Bought Peltor Sport tec, hard to get used to at the start but they are very good. You can turn them up and hear ten times more if you want but I set them only slightly more amplified than my own hearing.
