I have a set of these by Howard Leight that I got last Christmas and they are the cat's meow. I had tried them before at the range and really liked the slim line fit. M............

Seems like several of us have the same thing.  I like mine because they shutoff quick and they amplify while not being too much a both by being slim.  I will say this, they do not suppress the noise as well as you really need for top notch protection.  But, as I said above, I have ear plugs under them.  So, I turn up the volume and can hear the commands, etc.,...but when the bang comes I'm protected.

Those other ones I talked about have a better noise protection but since they lag too much they just piss me off when I use them. 

Did you guys try plugging a radio into yours?

Amazing how much Australian slang you can pick up on this forum  :D
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Aww fair suck of the sav!
I reckon Bane and Co, should have me come over and do a story for the outdoor channel, think of the cultural awareness it could foster, new vocabulary taught, and of course I have better legs than Marshal which would attract the lady folk  :P
Of course its a no brainer that the ratings would skyrocket as a result, either that or the show might be cancelled roflmao.

Got mine from Sportsman Guide (generic Caldwell) for $29. Slim profile for rifle shooting, and fairly cheap. I've never had a more expensive set so I don't have anything to compare them with, but they get the job done

Well, since your idea of programming is pretty much limited to calling everyone a Bogan, showing your legs, and playing Steve Lee's "I Like Guns" incessantly, well, yeah!   ;)

I've used my MP3 player and the sound is pretty good. I should have also added in my first post that I also use ear plugs under the muffs.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

 My electronic muffs are the cheappies from Academy and my only complaint is now I can hear the motor mouths at the other benches. As Tuco Ramirez said "If your gonna shoot, shoot.... don't talk".
