James Abram Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I'm looking to move from electronic hearing muffs to electronic "in ear" protection and wanting to know if any of you guys use them. If so, what brand and what you like or dislike about them. If you have used others why did you switch. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

UFO Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Etymotech, got tired of my ears sweating in the summer. Work great, use #10 batteries. 3M also makes rechargeable hearing protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Abram Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Does anybody have any experience with the Sportear Ghost Stryke? They seem to have good reviews. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmalin06 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have the sport ear customs and they are horrible. Now reliable and they run through batteries like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmalin06 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm not sure if the exact model, but they came out and did a hearing test as well as mold of my ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmooberry Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Has anyone tried the Walker Razor XV plugs? I like the idea of Bluetooth capability with my ear buds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieTheSwede Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I have had a set of Etymotic blast for a year now. Work great. http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protection/eb15le.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspiess24 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I know this isn't what you asked for. I like the SureFire plugs and I throw on my electronic Muffs over them typically when I am up to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Phillips Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Go to your local audiologist and see what they can have custom made for you. They are basically fancy hearing aids, so depending on your hearing, insurance may just cover them. I think my set was $500. keep in mind they tend to eat batteries, so it gets expensive.

I'm considering trying the soundgear instant fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleygt Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have a set of Etymotic plugs. They work well except for a pistol with a comp or a rifle with a muzzle brake. I was shooting in a rifle match I was between a 7mm with a muzzle brake on one side and a 6.5 creedmoor with a brake on the other side, that was to much. With a standard rifle or pistol they have worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyDad Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have a pair of the electronic in-ear plugs from Ear, Inc. (EAR Inc.). Had the molds made at a local match. They have been great for almost 2 years now. One note - you can't store them with the batteries in them, or they run down even if the unit is turned "off." Once I figured that out, battery life has been pretty good. Also just started shooting an open gun and that is too much for them to handle. After shooting an outdoor 5-stage match my left ear was buzzing for a day and a half. Now use over-ear on top of the in-ear units for the comp gun and that works great.

James Abram Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm still on the hunt and I'll use my muffs until I find something I really like that doesn't break my budget!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
