arjimlad Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've got about £50 to spend on a new set of ear defenders. I've seen the Radian Pro-Amp which Sportsman sell and wonder if anyone could tell me what they are like. Also Deben now do some OK looking jobbies for £50 - again - has anyone got any experience of them ? Can't stretch to Peltor Sportac, sadly !

Billy. Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Best £50 you can spend... On a pair of noise canceling earphones. As in the ones you listen to music with. I can keep my phone plugged in, listen to music during empty patches of pigeon shooting and still answer the phone without faffing about.

arjimlad Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Now there's something I had not considered - but I do find ear defenders better for clays than plugs. These would be for pigeon shooting and for clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyR Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I bought some 'cheap' Peltors from the US. They got wet and died (corroded electrics) after about 12 months. Don't waste your money in my opinion. Either get some passive ones - in-ear or muffs or save up and get some MSA Sordins like these; http://www.msa-sordin.com/en/produkter.asp...201&mId=104 They are expensive but the sound quality is superb and very well built, with a waterproof battery compartment.

Beardo Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) i've got these - nice waterproof battery compartment and they work a treat (nice and slim as well, so don't bang on the stock when you mount) http://www.cabelas.com/p-0044358228573a.shtml MidwayUK do them... https://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproductpage....leitemid=671923 and a review and vid here... http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/lofiv...php/t79132.html Edited July 29, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sordin's are great: crank up the volume and hear the pheasants long before you see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've recently got a pair of the new Deben leccy ones...£49. Very pleased with them, well made, rugged, excellent protection and sound quality. If you turn the sound right up, you could hear a mouse ****! They arent as slimline as the expensive Deben ones, however there is a scoop in the bottom of the muffs to aid mounting, and I've not had any problems in this area. I preferred the Deben design as there arent any wires trailing out of the muffs, which could be a weak area over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Windy, do you get good directional hearing from them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 yup.....full stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ta. I think I will go for those then, as Deben are in my experience good at looking after their customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
