I got these for shooting Rimfire Benchrest. In the ear plugs didn't work well for me and a pain to put in my small ears. Muffs never worked because they are too wide and would hit the stock.

These worked pretty good. Could tell the noise reduction and could still hear commands. Even worked when guy down the bench was shooting high power rifle.

A bit tricky putting on your ear but just takes a little wiggling. Only complaint is after 20 minutes my ears were a bit sore when I took them off. Overall, pleased with them.

Update:. Well, best to read instructions. Saw that you put them over your head with tip in ear and then tip the top forward some 30-45 degrees and rotate back to top of head. The cups slide right into the correct spot on my ear now. Perfect. No pain anymore after 20 minutes.

Started using these shortly after I took up Clay shooting. Another person on the range was using a pair and lauded their effectiveness for reducing high end noise while still allowing normal conversation. He said they were primarily designed for construction jackhammer work but worked well for shotgun noise. I've used them for years and found they work great for clay shooting. I also shoot pistol and rifle but use regular noise protectors for that.

These work well. The best feature compared to full ear coverage is that they don't interfere with safety glasses, are light, let you get into tight places and stay cooler which keeps sweat down. They fold nicely and take up less room that a full set in a tool box.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT real ear pro.
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019
Size: 31 DecibelVerified Purchase
I tried this form of ear pro, hoping that the advertised claims were at least close to being true. They are not; not even close. The manufacturer claims that this product provides better production than electronic ear protection. This claim is 100% fraudulent. As an avid shooter, and firearms instructor with my own range, I use a variety of types of hearing protection, depending on the situation.
This product fails in every aspect of range ear pro needs. It does not provide anywhere near 31db of NRR. And the ear plug parts are so unstable, they are not useful for shooting rifles or carbines, where a proper cheek weld is necessary. Teaching a recent pistol class, I learned immediately, after the student's first shot, that these do not provide anywhere near the required hearing protection for range use. The full noise impulse of the gunshot made it directly into my ear, and hurt. These came off, and my electronic ear pro went on. The ringing stayed for a while.
Their only potential use would be for operating work bench machinery, such as grinders & belt sanders, but even then, the subtle act of swallowing saliva is enough to move them out of alignment in your ear canal. I had attempted adjusting them in various ways for a better fit, because I wanted them to work. The minimalist design appealed to me. But unfortunately, the acoustic "sound reduction chamber" technology that the packaging advertises is completely ineffective. I wish it worked, but it does not.
Since they have been in my ears, and the outer plastic part of the packaging has been discarded, I will not attempt to return the item. But considering they are less effective than simple roll & stuff "foamy" type ear plugs, there is little useful application for these supposed muffs.

3.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to give these a better review… keep reading!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023
Size: 31 DecibelVerified Purchase
TL;DR: seem to work very well OUTDOORS, but NOT recommended indoors, per my personal experience. I have thus “averaged” my score. I’d give them a “5” in effectiveness outdoors. A “1” indoors. Also, not super comfortable in my ears, but I can live with it if it’s hot outside.

BACKGROUND
I have the 31db version. My first use of these was on a friend’s outdoor range. I did not quite trust them, so I had a friend fire a few shots while I closed the distance between us to gauge how much level reduction was happening. I was pleasantly surprised when I made it all the way up to his 4 o’clock and a couple of feet away. Then it was my turn. I handguns in 9mm and 5.7, and my “AR-47” in 7.62x39. Really great results, aurally, IMO, and they do indeed let some selected sounds like voices through more than plain plugs.

Regarding the effectiveness of the sound reduction, they produce an oddly filtered sound profile in my ears (you hear more of a low “crack” than a “thump”). So the hearing protection is for real, and this is important: OUTDOORS.

HOWEVER
Today I decided to try them at an indoor range. There is nothing on the packaging to suggest that this is a bad idea. I put on the protection as carefully as I’d done on my prior use outdoors. I entered the range, and started setting up, when a shooter a few bays down took some shots. Surprisingly sharp and loud, I thought. Then I took my first shot. Whoa. Way too loud to be safe! It was not horrible, but my ears rang for about 5 seconds afterward. I headed right back out and put on my over-the-ear protection and continued shooting.

I have had this ear protection for a few weeks and finally had a chance to try them out. I was shooting for about 2 1/2 hours and these worked beautifully. I literally forgot I had them on. Conversation with my buddies sounded very close to normal. When shooting the sound was reduced to a comfortable level. It is lightweight and comfortable and never interfered when firing my rifles. I'm impressed. I was a little unsure but decided to order a set and see. So glad I did. I will be ordering one for my wife. Shipping was awesome. I chose the slowest and cheapest shipping option and still had the in two days. Actually was delivered on a Sunday. I highly recommend this. Very pleased.
