Good Product
I ordered these based upon a recommendation from a friend. Was also influenced by other reviews on Amazon. It's an excellent hearing protection device and it doesn't cut-out all sounds like my other earmuffs do when a hi decibel sound happens. Also, the flat design works well with shotguns and rifles, not getting in the way like fatter ones do. And, they are so comfortable that on my first use at the range I walked out to my car to leave and drove about a mile before I realized I still had them on! Highly recommended.

perfect set
These are great when you not shooting you can even hear better with these earmuff on but as soon as you pull the trigger its silent

Great Earmuffs!
Love these earmuffs! They are very comfortable and the electronics work wonders. I can actually hear the brass hitting the concrete and yet not have my ears blown out by gunfire. It does seem that you have to turn the volume control up fairly high to be able to hear outside sounds. When there are multiple gunshots (as in 8-10 shooters all shooting at the same time)going off around you sometimes the electronics kick in so much that it's hard to carry a conversation. But that only happened a few times, and I don't think any other electronic earmuffs would have been able to do any better under those circumstances. I wore them all day as a scorer for a trap league shoot and they worked perfectly; was even able to hear the trap machine cycle. They were kept on the entire day and numerous ours since then and are still on the original batteries, so the run time is excellent. For the price, I don't think you can get any better electronic earmuffs.

Great Earmuffs! Well worth the price.
When I turn them off, they work just like regular cheap earmuffs. With the volume on "high" they're almost like hearing aids, until it gets loud. I used them on a very cold night at the firing range with a generator and two forced fuel heaters going. I had to play with the volume in order to hear voices over the machinery, but they worked. They'd cut out when people started to shoot or if anyone yelled. When they mute, it takes about 2 seconds to amplify normal sounds again. They also have a cool earphone jack so you could plug in your MP3 player or 2-way radio.

Compact and does the job
It works as advertised. Its comfortable and it does cutout noise once sounds reaches the cutoff dba. It even has a port to plug in your ipod. The music/audio port works but it's not like a true head set. The gain has to be turned all the way up on the ipod and same for the earmuff to hear the music. I don't have any other electronic earmuffs to compare this one against but it probably is a good set to start with and is not bad for the price. With that said, I probably won't upgrade from this one for awhile.
