Exiledviking Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Got a hold of a pair of Surefire's Earpro 3 Sonic Defenders and I am IMPRESSED. Shot the Steel match this past Sunday using the new plugs and they worked just as advertised. I could hear normal conversation, no problem. Best 10 bucks I spent this year. http://www.surefire.com/pdfs/EP3_tech_copy.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcflyiup Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Are they comfortable to wear for long periods and do they reduce the noise enough with a comp gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 From what I could tell, the official NRR is 19 on those, and at least one online seller suggests using something better at indoor ranges, with normal guns, so I'm thinking they're a no for comp guns. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcflyiup Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah those won't work if the rating is only 19nrr to bad I was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiledviking Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I wore them for nearly 4 hours last Sunday. I haven't tried them in a indoor range yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Knight Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I see on the website that they block any noise above 80db. I have one question.... Do they work indoors when someone is shootinga comp-gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I see on the website that they block any noise above 80db. I have one question....Do they work indoors when someone is shootinga comp-gun? I would say "no". Physics says you can't just block any noise above a set level, all you can do is attenuate it. Given that, I found a place online that lists an attenuation rating (NRR) of 19 (and suggests not using them indoors, comp gun or not) There's no way I'd rely on a NRR 19 device indoors with a comp gun.

Chuck Anderson Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Nope, I would not use them by themselves for shooting USPSA or indoors. But the great thing is their great to wear when your not on the line or ROing. Just wear them by themselves. When it's time to go to the line, throw a set of muffs over them. Nice and cool off the line and plenty of protection. Edited November 26, 2006 by Lawman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
