I've been looking at a couple different kinds of ear protection that are designed to be used while hunting.
1 kind does not use batteries, it's more of a passive baffle ear plug as far as I can tell. They are cheap, under $20. Most state that you can still hear people talking and hear animals in the woods, but they will still block the majority of the loud gun blast. Does anyone have any hunting experience with this type?
The 2nd type of ear protection I am looking at are battery powered and way more expensive, like $200-$350+. They seem to be sound amplifiers and well as block the the loud gun blast. I assume I know how this will sound because I do use ear muffs that do the same thing. I just can't see wearing my electronic ear muffs all day while hunting. They would surely get uncomfortable. Any opinions on these small, in the ear type electronic ear protection?
Thanks!
