Feedback In Ear Electronic Protection that doesn't suck?

[jclusin]

I use 3M Peltor eep-100 (on Amazon) for outdoor range last time. Works pretty solid. Haven’t tested for indoor yet, you might have to double up anyway.

+1 on the 3m EEP-100. I pair them with the "skull screw" gray foam tips.

I like the Axil Pros - use the bigger sizes to make sure you dont have any leak in your protection (you should be 'screwing' them into your ear). The downside is that they have a phantom battery drain. My guess is its a firmware issue where they wake up and start searching for a BT sync. Outside of that, solid performance!

The EEP-100's are pretty good from 3M - I like those but they're not so good without the skull skrews. Also with open guns you'll still want to use foamies with outer ear pro. I swap between the EEP-100's / Sordin outer ear / Impact . I've always wanted to try the Otto Noizebarriers but didn't get to try it.

No, foamies with double coverage and eep-100’s outside

i have 300. use the skull screws for max DB reduction. wont do anything for concussive forces tho

None. Walker XCEL-500 BT are by far the best headphones I've seen for the money, and they block sound really well too

After this thread I decided to pick up the Etymotic Music Pro from Crutchfield which are identical to the Otto Noizebarrier Micro but $100 cheaper

What led you to pick the Music Pro instead of the Etymotic Gun Sport Pro for $100 less and more protection? Gun Sport Pro Will be interested in your comments after use.

I was still trying to decide between that and the GSP I don’t think you can go wrong with that one too. I’m also considering using it for concerts too. I’m mainly outdoors so it’s not so bad since I never shoot indoors. The battery replacement is also a pro and a con.

I’m still going back and forth with the GSP

I double up when AP shooting because I have a pretty serious hearing loss (not from shooting), and I cannot afford to lose more. My inner ones are electronic Starkey hearing protectors called Sound Gear (which require a mold), and the outer protection is Otto Muffs. Both work exceptionally well. I see a few AP shooters wearing Sordin muffs, and I tried them, but they did not work for me.

Ended up exchanging for the gun sport pros. The batteries is really what I was on the fence about. I’ll just change them often. Otherwise the blast protection is better

Tried these, I’ll check them out later this week to see how it goes. I like and dislike that it has limited batteries but better than having lithium-ion ones guaranteed to die out.

These will work as solid ear pro for years (hopefully) without gradually losing charge. Plus the batteries are standard which I like and easy to get.

The Comply memory foam ear tips will give you a couple of extra db's or protection if that turns out to be an issue.

I ended up ordering the Harris and Sons F12's
Like I figured, after a hearing test, ive lost some hearing already. That means my insurance is covering a big chunk of the cost.
Had my ear impressions done, sent them out yesterday.
No clue when I will get them in person, but I will do a full write up, 1000 round review once i get them.

I have not yet found one that works for me. I've tried several, including somewhat expensive custom molded ones, and none give enough hearing protection when shooting anything big, loud, or with a brake.

I'd love to find one, but so far no luck. Looking forward to possible solutions here.

Double up, foamies + electronic + gel cups

surefire ep7's with vents open under electronic muffs has been working well. has some protection during a class when there is always that one shooter that still fires when everyone takes their earpro off

 

[BontaLicious]

Anyone got any experience with the Walker earbuds? I've been using Walker Slim Electronics for a few years now, and their suppressor, isolator, and restrictor models are on sale for around 100-150 as of typing this.

Sordin neckbands when doubling up for better comfort and fitment/seal when moving. Otto Noizebarriers for outdoor range use.
