I’ve heard good things about those! How do they perform in noisy environments?

22

For me, the fit of the in-ear protection is critical. I’ve had issues with them falling out during longer sessions. Does anyone have tips for making sure they stay put?

23

Good point, Crawford! I secured mine with a sports headband, and it made a huge difference. It’s a simple fix that might help with fit and comfort.

24

I’m interested in this topic too! I’m looking for something that won’t hurt my ears after a few hours. Any suggestions for the most comfortable options?

25

You might want to check out the Axil GS Extreme. They’re known for lasting comfort over long periods!

26

The MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X is incredible—but they can get a bit heavy if worn too long. That’s my only downside so far. Anyone else feel the weight?

27

I’ve definitely noticed that with heavier models. Sometimes light is better. What’s really reasonable in terms of price and comfort for long use?

28

I think the Tactical AR-Ears are pretty affordable and versatile for regular shooting.

29

I can’t help but chuckle at all the brands out there! It feels like a hearing protection arms race. But seriously, comfort does matter; no one wants sore ears from ‘budget’ options!

Right? I sometimes wonder if they compete for the most ridiculous design! But when it comes to comfort, I stick to the basics and avoid those funky models.

Excellent points! I think the best choice varies by person. I wish there was a universal fit model everyone could love. Any recommendations for those with smaller ears?

I have smaller ears too! For those, I found that the 3M Peltor TEP-100 work wonders. They are comfortable and adaptable, making a significant difference.

I’ve been researching in-ear electronic hearing protection for shooting, and it seems like models from Etymotic and 3M provide great sound isolation while being compatible with comms gear. Anyone have firsthand experience?

35

I have to agree! Etymotic offers fantastic models. Plus, their design integrates easily with headsets for communication. Super convenient during long range days!

What do you think about the Peltor TEP-100? I’ve heard it’s great for shooting and can be integrated with other safety gear like helmets.

37

The TEP-100 is excellent! Its compatibility with tactical helmets offers a seamless experience, especially in active shooting environments.

Has anyone tried using in-ear protection with Bluetooth communication devices? I’m curious about how effective it is while still providing hearing safety.

I have! The combination of in-ear protection and Bluetooth allows for clear communication without sacrificing hearing safety. Totally worth it.

I use the Walkers Razor headphones for shooting, but I’m considering in-ear options. What should I look for in terms of integration with safety gear?
