Wb123 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Depends on your budget, I love my protacs to bits, 3M seem to have released a new and cheaper version which I would have no hesitation to buy if mine died. My order of importance when looking was SNR rating (they vary a great deal), comfort, price (but didnt want to spend over £200). My better half is very happy with a set of silverline £15 electronic ones, i find the attenuation markedly inferior and the cutting in and out of the surrounding noise plus loss of stero sound intrusive. The Peltors however i often entirely forget I am wearing until i get home and try to take my hat off. The best sound attenuation i have experienced combined with the same comfort level as the protacs is a pair of peltor optime 3s, they now do a 4 though which has an even higher rating and are apparently very very good if you dont like to talk to any of the chaps you shoot with.

welshwanderer Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 i had a pair of howard light impact sport earmuffs , i found with them they wouldn't cancel the sound out when i fired the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Why not consider a pair of passive ear plugs of the 'made to measure' variety. I have had a pair of Emtech (£70 ish fitted) moulded soft rubber plugs for over 20 years and they are still as good today as when they were new, which is more than I can say about the Cens that are only 6 years old !

Dave at kelton Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Pelton for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buze Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have two pair of these, they work really well. I've since graduated to in-ear molded ones, but the muffs are still used for other things, or for guests/spectators etc when we go out... Hard to beat for £40! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001T7QJ9O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 No problems with my Howard Leights, they have been excellent. I only use them when Reffing or Instructing though, they clunk on my stock if I use them for shooting, which is why I prefer the moulded variety of in ear hearing defence.

Squinting shot Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Deben ear defenders around 20 quid do the job and are slimline so don't look or feel bulky. Cut the sound out been using mine 4 years all weather's had no problem. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
