Electronic hearing protection

These are the ones I use. For the price, they work extremely well. Never had any problems with them. They were so good, my brother went out and bought a pair for himself!

The one small complaint that I do have is the size. Compared to the ones you listed, mine are a bit more bulkier.

they have a bit better noise reduction level and are cheaper. I think they work great and they have an audio in jack so you can hook up a phone or ipod etc..(I know it sounds stupid but I've used them for plane rides and they do a good job for that too).

Also the thing I really like is they don't "click" off like some other brands, the speakers just don't magnify the gunshots so your hearing isn't ever interrupted.

I bought the Howard Leight ones last year, but they died on me...and not even after a wet day. They were absolutely fantastic, up until that point though, and they did see a lot of bad weather before that.

And yes, the audio jack is something you don't admit to using, but there may have been times I was sitting all day, and perhaps a MP3 player/radio was attached at absolute minimum volume. Just enough to barely hear it, and still to the point that I was hearing noises around me more clearly than I would without the earmuffs.
