[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 367817, member: 7608"] I've been using the Howard Leight Impact Sport for years and have been happy. They are fairly low profile and not expensive. The electronic muffs work the same as regular muffs except they have a microphone on the exterior and speakers interior. Any noise above a loud threshold is not sent through the speakers. This means you can still talk and hear. You can also turn up the volume to amplify beyond regular hearing so I've heard critters walking which I wouldn't have heard otherwise. With the volume up I can hear the sound of walking on carpet inside. I use them in addition to plugs at the range and have used muffs without plugs in the field. I received a pair of Decibullz plugs as a gift last year and I like them better than foam plugs. They filter noise so offer better low volume hearing. They also stay in place without having to compress and fidget with positioning. They are DIY molded using hot water and patience. An extra set of hands is a must to get the fit right, and a bad fit renders them useless. I now wear the Decibullz plus Howard Leight electronic muffs whenever feasible. Only get one set of ears and I know a lot of old guys that don't hear for shit. [/QUOTE]
