    Looking for new electronic ear pro...suggestions?

    I've had these for almost a year now, but the one thing I don't like is it picks up the wind and makes it hard to hear on a windy day.

    Anyone know of any that don't do this? What should I look for when wanting to avoid a product that does this? Thanks!

    I use the Howard Leight's. I like them better than the many Peltors I have owned.

    I honestly do not notice any wind noise.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

      I like my older ProEars with a nrr of 33,except the batteries have a tendency to fall out and there's no auto-shut off. The wind really has to be howling for me to notice. If I had to do it over, I'd get the Sordins. Auto shut-off, better battery retention and uses AAA batteries. Too bad it's only rated nrr 28. I think the new ProEars Digital Gold has auto off and better retention, but I believe they're a little more expensive than the Sordins.

        Another vote for Howard Leight Impact Sport. $50 from Amazon and they have auto-shutoff.

                I bought 4 of these after seeing others using them at the range. Worked very well for me & my family. I'd LOVE the more expensive ones that are slimmer, but for starters, these have worked very well for me.

                  Expensive, but worth it. Once your hearing is gone, it's not coming back. See here:

                    I like the Peltor TacSport (sometimes written SportTac).
                    Good quality stereo sound.

                      Whatever you do, stay away from the Peltor Tactical 6S. I've had two of them go TU within a month of each other.

                            I have a brand new set of Pro Ears that haven't been taken out of the box. They retail on the web site for $329 and sell for $289 lots of places.

                            This is the top of the line Pro Ears.

                            $200.00 gets 'em.
                            I move slow but I make up for it by shooting poorly.

                            When I hit the lotto I'm only shooting factory.
