I got mine from Nighthawk Custom after purchasing one of their 1911s. I think they were made by ProEars for Nighthawk. What I like about them is that they work just great. What I don't like is the batteries...they're not a common type and they're expensive. It's too easy for the 'on' knobs to get knocked around in a range bag and turn the unit on. Then the expensive and hard-to-find batteries die overnight.

Peltors FTW!!!

I've been very happy with my peltor tactical 7s. uses a 9 volt. I think they were about $115 thru optics planet.

I have some fairly inexpensive ones, but they've worked well for me.
Howard Leight Impact Sport. They have a headset jack which I used all summer to plug into a 2-way radio while working as an RSO at an outdoor range. I bought them on sale at Midway for about $50 shipped.

If you want a good value get the Howard Leights. If you want the best get the MSA Sordins.

I bought these:

They're NRR rated at 31, which is what you don't normally expect from electronic ears. I've used them for a couple of months now. My only complaint is that they're bulky, but I guess that comes with the rating, and the 4 batteries don't help much there. Aside from that,they provide good protection compared to the other electronic ears I used, roughtly equal tothe regular ears I used before (those were also NRR rated at 31).

I value my hearing too much to go the cheap route..... That means while at the indoor range, I "double bag" using -30dB foam plugs in the ears (bought at Walmart) and ProEars Mag Gold -33db electronic muffs. Outdoors, I just wear just the ProEars Mag Golds. This setup works great!

[trinydex]

how do the sordins compare to the peltors?

[Timberwolf]

I wear Pro Ears and work and Howard Leights when I shoot (they're thinner profile). The Pro Ears are the most confortable and I wear then 8 hours a day 2 - 3 days a week without issue.

Good question. I'm at a loss as to why no one has ever asked before...

i have Howard Leight Impact Sports. use AAA abtteries has an ipod jack and NRR level of 22.

My only problem so far is that they get a little uncomfortable after a few hours. and i would get feedback from .50beawolf, and the occasoinal .223 round from standing to close. but we were also near a valley that echoed pretty good. But it handles my .308win very well.
