This is what I currently use when shooting.
Foam ear plugs rated at 32dB
Howard Leight Clarity Series C3
Would the following be better than the foam earplugs? And have you tried these?
Sonopro Sport Noise Reduction Ear Plugs
"Filter Out Noise, Not The ExperienceAs a hunter, gun enthusiast, or motorcycle rider, you're exposed to high dB sounds while doing your favorite activities. These sounds are harmful - the American Speech Language Hearing Association points out that exposure to 140 dB sounds can result in permanent hearing damage - but the only solutions thus far have been earplugs that block all sound at the expense of lower dB noise. SonoPro Sport's patent- pending technology changes that by allowing lower volume sound to be filtered through with no distortion (think conversation, game noise, etc.) while blocking higher volume sounds such as gunshots. Developed With the Military in MindWe started developing SonoPro Sport over seven years ago for law enforcement and military use. In these high-risk environments, military and law enforcement need to be able to hear low-volume sounds with absolutely no distortion or lack of directionality. We're releasing this technology to the public for the first time so you can have the same technology at your back while hunting or on the gun range. Comfort Comes FirstYou don't have to sacrifice utility for comfort. SonoPro Sport is designed with a low-profile and soft, triple flange outer layer to provide all-day comfort. If you need ear warmers or earmuffs, SonoPro Sport does not extend past the surface of the ear, meaning you can add additional layers for warmth without sacrificing performance."
Would electronic ear muffs be any better at limiting sound over the Howard Leight muffs above?
