I've had Peltors for many years now. They say "Tactical 7 Classic".
Never a problem. Good amplification. For shotguns the noise protection is good enough as it. For pistols and rifles, I insert foam plugs into my ear canal, before the Peltors, IF I need to hear my surroundings.
When I don't need to hear my surroundings and I'm shooting rifles/pistols, it's the foam plugs and then the 3M muffs made by Peltor. They have "X5A" stamped on them. Think 3M advertises them at ~31db noise reduction. They're a bit bulky, but very effective. High quality foam inside of them.
