Thanks - not in any big hurry - have been wanting more info on these, re:worth it? Seems like they are.... Now I just need to locate a good price.

A guy at range a fews months back had a pair of the smaller Peltors that he said he caught on sale (forgot where!) for $99. He forgot them and did not return to pick up after I called him for a month or so. They folded into a very small size when not in use. I took the liberty of wearing them a couple of times while loaning my bigger pair to a student.

Once again, it made me want to get another pair of electronics for use during private sessions. Speaking and hearing during such times IS often important. I may go with Pro Ears or such just to be able to try the difference ...

tried several of the clippers. ended up with ProEars Linear Elites for self and woman. she also uses her's bowhunting turkey.

Wow, does her bow shoot supersonic arrows or something?

I have Pro Ears Series 1 (the basic). 50dB noise reduction (not 20dB) and keeps sound down to below 70dB, according to the Spec sheet.

I have the pro ears promag dimension 1's and have been really happy with the purchase. impactguns has it for 174. I got mine for 150ish I think.

I've got the Remington brand from Wally World for $100. They seem OK to me, but I have not compaired them to the high end models. I saw the same ones under a different lable last week for around $65. I bought them for hunting with my .44 mag. but now I see the advantages of wearing them while hunting. I can hear things walking around in the woods that I never heard before. At teh end of the evening when I removed them, it was like I had gone deaf.
