Swanny10 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 So I really want to upgrade my ear pro to the sordin pro x. But I also really want the best deal possible. Anybody seen an especially good deal lately? I've been hunting but haven't seen any deals out of the ordinary. Does one of the BE vendors who offer a forum discount sell them? I can never figure out which vendors do. (On a side note, is there a list of forum vendor discount codes anywhere?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 All I can say is don't waste the money on them if your not prepared to buy the gel cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector1999 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 They are pricey, but I would agree the gel cups are necessary. I bought mine on Amazon and watched for an Amazon Warehouse Deal. They were returns where the packaging was "damaged" (opened then returned). There are a few available now, I saved $50 over new. The one marked "used" that show signs of wear, are available but I didn't want to risk it. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspector1999 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I do understand the hesitation, but they have the same 30 day return policy as regular purchases from Amazon (not a 3rd party seller which shipped from Amazon). So liability is limited, a bit. YMMV.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 SRStactical has the best customer service around. Buy them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Well unless you buy from an Authorozed Dealer the 5 year warranty is useless because they won't honor it, I got mine from Triad Tactical, while I hadn't needed the warranty, if I do Steve(Triad Tactical) will take care of me/it.

vtecpaoche Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) It doesn't even look like there are many authorized dealers or distributors. Quick search on the internet shows that Steve from Triad Tactical will warranty and repair it here for you instead which is pretty cool. Gel cups are definitely a must. I love mine and it's so comfortable compared to my old Impact Sport. I got mine from DSG Arms. They have the green camo with gel cups on sale for $224 plus $5 shipping. You will need to register and login to see the price. Edited December 23, 2016 by vtecpaoche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny10 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks for all of the input folks. I had been to the DSG website but didn't realize the price went down when you registered. I thought I wanted the leather headband but that DSG deal is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I got mine new from Sweden via ebay for I believe 180 and some w/ gel cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I bought them and returned them. The gel cups were definitely the most comfortable thing ever, but the sound coming out of the electronics was really weird. For me, definitely not worth 6x the electronic muffs they replaced.

Swanny10 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've had a pair for 4 months now. No complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I went through several different brands of electronic muffs before I bought the Sordin Pro X (in April 2008), They did go back for warranty work once when a battery connection came loose. Fast return after repairs. While in the shop, they noticed I did not have the gel cups. They mentioned it when they called to let me know they were ready for shipping. Since they were already in their shop I had the gel cups installed. They were nice without the cups but great with them. After all these years they are still going strong and are the best electronic ear muffs available. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Agreed. Super comfy. I forgot my foam earplugs one day so I had to use my cheap 3M X4 earmuffs... soooo uncomfortable. I wish the Sordins had higher dB reduction as I don't feel I can wear them indoors without earplugs, but still super comfy. Not to mention the electronics are superb.
