[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1478161, member: 94491"] I've read several threads about different in-ear hearing protection and I'm still unsure which one would be best to try. I currently have a pair of Howard Leight electronic muffs that are OK for the range for pistol, but rather large for getting a proper cheek weld on a rifle I also have a pair of Pro Ears gold 300 behind the head muffs that I really like for in the field --BUT only if its cold outside--they offer NRR of 26 and individual ear cup amplification up to 15 dB--BUT if I'm climbing and sweating in the field I dont care for them (now sitting in a stand when its cold out--they are nice) I have seen 3 different "in-ear" style that interest me Soundgear has their "Industrial" and "Shooter" Instant fit plugs--NRR of 25dB, and amplification of either 8 or 15 dB (non adjustable)--only 2 sizes of silicone inserts--size #10 battery Etymotic has one that is also NR rated for 25dB and amplified at 15 dB with a neck cord and has both silicone and foam inserts--they say they are NRR of 15 dB for steady loud sounds and up to NRR of 25 for blast sounds, they have a hi/low switch for the amplification--size #10 battery Westone Defendear Shooter in ear has one also that is NRR rated at 30 dB, amplified up to 85dB with 3 amplification levels and had wind reduction and has 5 sizes of foam only ear inserts --size #10 battery god or bad, lets hear your experience with them if you have one of these (or if you know of a better option in the same price range I'm all "ears") I would be using these only for in the field hunting with 12 gauge, handgun (44mag, 10mm, 454cas) and center fire bolt action and semi-auto chassis rifles from 223 up to 300wm braked rifles for the range I will stick to my pro-ears muffs over plugs most of the time.
