Steve RA Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A small ice cube in each side would take care of the heating problem nicely ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloch38 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm sure Harris and other high end options are better, but I picked a pair of the Peltor TEP-100 in-ear electronic plugs on a sale on Amazon and they have been great. The included recharging case is a plus. After years of wearing Peltor Comtac 2/3s they are a welcome change shooting in Alabama especially in the summer. They are a cheaper, high quality alternative if you don't have the budget to go full custom. The flanges could be more comfortable (I like the Surefire ear plugs), but aren't bad.

cs62 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I use the Peltor TEP-100's as well during the summer so I can wear a booney hat and still hear everything else going on around me. I especially like the recharging case, I leave them in there and they are always charged ready to go. Edited March 28, 2018 by cs62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) for the walkers and peltors above, 1) how long do the batteries work before needing recharging (do they last a full match), and 2) how well do they work in 3 gun (ie ar15 and ar10 rifle noise)?

Wrathen Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I’m in Florida and was thinking about picking up some earbuds cause in the summer muffs are blah. I’m going to looking into these Walkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I have been running these for 2 years now and they are great for all day comfort. You can add the percussive filters and they work much like an electronic plug without the hassle of batteries. https://www.decibullz.com/custom-molded-percussive-shooting-filters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy85 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I use the Decibullz with the filter. they are cheap and work well. But from my buddies i hear that the Pro Ears in ear are unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Peltor TEPs for 3-Gun with no issues (shooting a loud ass JP). I think you get 20 or so recharges off the 2xAAAs in the case before having to add a new set of batteries, it is super handy and the LEDs in the case tell you charged or charging, and theres a simple button to press. I'd have to look up the runtime, but they must last longer than a full range day because I've never drained them in a match or class. They are like the headsets though and will try to turn off after 5hrs or so with a beep, so you know to hit the button on the side of your plugs to prevent that.

The Walkers use hearing aid batteries and yes they will last an entire 1-day match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in VA Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I use the TEP-100’s around full auto and belt feed guns with no problems. I use the surefire foam replacement tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffz Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Defendear Digital 1 - I have been using them for about 2 years. A wonderful product. https://www.westone.com/store/defendear/index.php/defendear-digital/defendear-digital-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalRex Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I use the Etymotic electronic earplugs. They’ve been excellent and come with several different ear foams/inserts to ensure proper fit. My ear tunnels are somewhat sensitive but I forget these are even in. At $300 they are considerably less expensive than the high end custom fit type but certainly not cheap.

KzBoost Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I use soundgear platinums. They work great, comfortable and dont get in the way. They are pricey but talk to a local audiologoist and you may be able to get a much better deal than listed on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
