Not what the Op asked, but I bought the Otto a few years ago. Go them from Brownells so hopefully I will never need another pair.

How is the wind noise and is the regular setting okay for being able to hear something walking in?

I keep it on the basic setting (the least senstive) and I can hear more than I can without them (of course I have hearing loss too). They work well.

Didn't notice any wind noise when on normal mode. Enhanced mode does pick up more sound, especially when walking and you can hear your footsteps, etc but when you take them out you don't hear your footsteps. So, I guess they work well picking up all sounds, even though it makes you sound like a herd of elephants stomping through the woods. You actually aren't making any more noise, you can just hear everything better, but it shuts off and blocks the muzzle blast when you fire. I especially like being able to hear my guide whisper when they are on enhanced mode since I am a little on the "hard of hearing" side.

Absolutely amazing product. It helps in every way and condition. Wind rain snow I don't care they are fantastic. For me they are unbelievable. I am not sure i have ever taken it out of regular setting.

No, it is a reply to post #17 cm1021 asked 6.5x300WBY about the wind noise with the Otto Noizebarrier. I didn't mean to distract from your question about the Stealth 28 HTBT, but wanted to add my thoughts on the Otto Noizebarrier since others mentioned it.
I'm not familiar with the Stealth, but since you asked "If not those, what else?" I wanted to suggest the Otto.
