captainhastings Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Has any one used these ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0797SW8VZ/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A30JICNJ400KIW They seem good value. Ears are suffering at the moment so I need some thing better than the the ear plug things I have been using. Budget is an issue so can not go mad and a posh pair of electronic ones. No mention if the above will handle a bit of wet weather though. Another problem is needed to hear things when they are on Edited September 22, 2019 by captainhastings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welderup Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I haven’t used those exact ones but I did buy a similar pair on eBay for £35 and I’m really impressed. They work really well and can hear low/ambient noise just fine but will cut off anything over 82db (clapping hands will do it) You can adjust the ambient volume too so can amplify quiet noises you wouldn’t normally notice. After wearing them in the rain the other day they still work great The item number on eBay was 171919747450 im not associated with them at all, just like yourself didn't want to pay mega money and earplugs just weren’t cutting it.

JTaylor91 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Howard Leight may be another option. I have a pair and they been spot on even in pouring rain. Quite a few people seem to have them too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honeywell-Howard-Leight-Foldable-Defender/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=howard%2Bleight&qid=1569563595&sprefix=howard%2B&sr=8-4&th=1&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have the HL ones and they are vgood. I tend to feel it clonk the comb unless the right one sits high enough. About the only drawback. I use them with the cheap squashy ear plugs and find that will dampen a 308 to acceptable levels. Battery life is good too which is a bonus.

captainhastings Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Opted for the Howard Leight ones which came yesterday. Seem very comfortable and I am looking forward to testing them if this weather ever breaks. Off for the free boots hearing test today. I think I know what the results will be.
