427Cobra Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have some MSA Sordins with Gel Cups, they are 8 years old and still work great, but the gel cups do go bad and need replacement about every 4 years. I recently bought some 3m Peltor EEP-100 plugs and added Skull Screw tips, these are marketed for industrial use not shooting and with skull screw tips provide 30db noise reduction, I love these things, price is 170 for the plugs and a 10 pack of tips from Amazon.

clw42 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I also use Sordins, but double up with custom molded plugs when shooting (open). When outside and I'm not shooting, I'm comfortable wearing either the Sordins or the molded alone. Inside I'm doubled up regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Take this for what it’s worth but I would pass on sordins. Sure they are state of the art and very low profile but I shoot Open and RO a lot and they just don’t cut it unless you double plug. I had my kids get me a pair for Christmas last year even though I read and heard first hand from locals that they just don’t cut it. I went back to using my Peltor Tactical Pros which muffle even the loudest guns without the need for double plugging. And the electronics are just as good.

LuvDog Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I have Sordins too because of all the fantastic reviews. I went to them after my Pro Ears Gold. To be honest, the Pro Ears are better for noise reduction and the electronics seem better. The Sordins use better materials and build quality is nicer.

2alphas Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Another vote for Pro Ears Gold. Worn them for many, many years. Great warranty, awesome electronics and all-day comfort. The company supports our sport as they should. TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR1 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I also have the Sordins with gel cups. They're fine outdoors while ROing or shooting, but I have a set of Tac Pros that I use indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do get the Gel pads for them.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igofast85 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 If you are willing to spend the money, custom molded electronic plugs are the way to go. You can put any cheap, high dB over them and be totally set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1629 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’ve had Pro Ears Gold for years and work great for my pistols including my open guns. They do get in the way for me when shooting PCC. I go to plugs for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinIII Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I really like the Bluetooth in the Peltor 500’s. I use when running any power equipment and listen to music.I also have the 3M gel pads on both my pairs of 500’s. You just peel them off the factory plate and stick them in the 500’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For outdoor shooting with common pistols I agree that they are fine. Edited September 28, 2019 by IHAVEGAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davsco Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 went from howard leights to pro ears 300, no complaints, comfy, good sound reduction, can hear conversations and your steel hits pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLethal Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 that what we used in the army.[emoji6]I’ve done it, and the results weren’t horrible. That is for when you get to the range and don’t have your ears and don’t want to drive back home because you started getting stuff setup already. lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
af_tt Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I have Sordins and Surefires. I like to wear the Surefires inside the Sordins when someone is shooting an open gun and I am close. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got another pair and I will stay they were much tighter than my older ones. So they loosened up overtime or they are now a lot tighter.

kk4364 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 3m Combat arms 4.1, they fit really good and comfortable all day. Also have a switch for all noise suppression. They are super light weight and work well indoors and outdoors. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayBuster Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I've been using the Otto noizebarriers, so far they've been great, I doubt I would use them indoors though with out doubling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 TCI Liberators that are now Safariland. I had to send them back once for a battery contact issue but they repaired them in a few weeks. So 7 years of hard abuse between work and personal shooting. I got the gel cups though and it was worth the few extra dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
