SJBriggs Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Ordered a pair of Otto Range SA. I'll post a review after I've worn them for a couple weeks. Thanks all, for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick303 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) If you get OTTOs you may want to check these out.

Sunscreen, wet wipes, and/or bug spray could possibly damage the rubber. I disintegrated the rubber buttons my first set because I was cleaning them with Wet Wipes. OTTO warranties them even though they didn’t have to. Edited October 30, 2021 by Boomstick303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. For the five hours it takes to shoot a local the foam plugs work fine, but if I haven't been to the range in a while I notice my ears getting sore at the end of the match. If I've worn them recently they don't become irritating. I've also done some really long distance (intercontinental) motorcycling for which I wore custom molded inserts. Those are comfortable for 12+ hours a day, for multiple days, but its also clear they're not quite as effective as the simple foam plugs. Though they're still better by themselves than most muffs are by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey brother, thanks for the tips, but when I click on that link it's for a set of outer ear muffs, inner foam inserts, and a "bad dragon dildo for women"! I bought all three...

shred Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 They make 3 sizes of the Comply P-series tips, so I'd start with a set of medium (red) and see how they work, unless you know you have large or small ear canals. One way I check they are in right is tap the button to high-amplification mode. If there is squeal from feedback, the seal isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the Range SA - the over ear protection, however, everyone has a lot of good things to say about the micros so I may give those a shot also.

Cuz Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Waiting for your review. I have a few of the electronic brands mentioned, and they are all adequate outside, but now we go indoors for the winter and they are all inadequate for that. I think I’ll end up with a Combo of some sort, but not sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Active hearing protection is most beneficial when running shooters. Easy to hear squibs thus giving faster STOP commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Depends on the active hearing protection. Some mask the sounds of squibs very well. Check before relying on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly do it to test, chrono etc.. After participating in a couple of indoor matches I would rather Dry Fire at home than attend indoor matches.

CHA-LEE Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I use Electronic Shooters Protection Stealth Digital in ear hearing protection. I have been using the same set of ESP Stealth ears for several years now with great success both outdoors and indoors. Before that I used custom molded ear plugs with passive filters and they also worked great. The only thing that sucks with the passive filter plugs is their handling of wind noise, which is really crappy. BUT, the passive filter plugs can usually be purchased for $100 - $150 where as the ESP Stealth Digital ears cost thousands of dollars. If you want ultimate hearing protection that also allows you to hear conversations, then you could use passive filter molded plugs with electronic muffs over top of that. This would produce the highest level DB of hearing protection. But it would also be HOT and sweaty, not to mention potential of pain as the muffs can mash your ears/head. If you are on the range all day in hot weather conditions this double coverage solution may not be viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comply tips work incredibly well for the walker silencer 2.0 as well, much better than the original tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was my experience. Edited November 1, 2021 by Boomstick303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The best option I have found to protect my hearing from the really crazy loud, body vibrating, minority of open guns is to stop working majors and hand off the timer at local matches.

I bought a set of those. The mounting hole in the Comply tips is round but the stud on the Silencer 2's is almost rectangular and they are a bear to install. They did feel good and work but I had a secondary problem. they barley fit the charging box. Went back to the OEM ones. I contacted Comply regarding the Silencer 3.0 and their response was that they do not make them for that model.
