Brixsmaid Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 My Deben Slim Electronic Hearing Protectors have done me proud, but are getting a bit old and tired, so am considering treating myself to a pair of Howard Leight impact sports, 50% cheaper than the Debens, but not wanting to scrimp on my hearing protction if the Howards aren't any good. Any thoughts/ experiences? They are worn mostly for rough shooting and I also wear glasses which they need to comfortably fit over - your thoughts would be appreciated.

steve_b_wales Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Howard Leight's are excellent value for money, and will protect your hearing. Can't comment on wearing glasses with them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timb Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'm no expert, but I've had both. Howard Leight are by far the best IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Dont like to rock the boat but like motty i prefer the Deben. Have Leighs just now after having the Debens for years and although protection maybe the same fit seemed better with Deben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 That's a good heal on the Howard's how slim are they? hard to tell from pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 The Howard Leights are a little chunky. I hit them regularly with the gun stock. Mine also went crackly (faulty). The Deben are more expensive, but I like them far more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
