jkatz44 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I read all of the threads on electronic ear muffs but haven't seen a poll talking about ear muffs. Edited December 29, 2009 by jkatz44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMO66 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Becuase thats what I got. But I do like them for fit and function. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmap Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have used every single one of these and the hands down winner, for me, was the MSA Sordins. The best sound, the best fit, and excellent protection. I screwed up my vote and accidentally hit null vote but my vote is for the MSA Sordins.

XD Niner Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just upgraded from my four year old Peltor Tac 6S's to TacSports with gel ear pads. I liked the Tac 6S's but I really love the TacSports and the gel ear pads. They really dampen the ambient shot sound yet do a great job of letting me hear absolutely everything other than when a shot is occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanexp Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I own HP-1s but have prefered Sordins when I have tried (borrowed) them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furyalecto Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have Pro Ears Pro Mags & like them. They are a bit bulky. I had another pair of Pro Ears that just never fit me right, but the Pro Mags work pretty good. Based on the responses here I might try some MSA Sordins if I have a chance.

smokshwn Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 MSA/Sordin Bomb proof build quality, great replacement service policy, and excellent sound quality. The one drawback is the stock foam ear seals, they offer a gell kit for $40 but you can easily replace the stock foam seals with gel seals from David Clark for $20.

ChuckS Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have been using Pro Ears for probably 10 years now. I guess they hold up I got replacement ear seals from Pro Ears for $12/set in 2007. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockwerkes Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Been using the Peltor Tactical Sport model for about two years, almost every weekend. Originally got them based on price vs. performance. Pleased with them after all this time, but they're showing age now. Should replace the seals with gels, and new foam for the inside. I think for 1/3 the price of the Sordins, it was a good value. I've never tried any of the high end models. Only downside: if you're around a lot of Open shooters or rifle fire, really need to double up with plugs. Works fine for most handgun work.

murkish Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I use the Peltor Tactical 7s. They offer much easier battery access than the 6s with an external battery compartment. Use 1 9volt and only have one volume control to remember to turn off. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhp147 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I am on my second set of ProEars Pro-Mags. They are a bit bulky, but advertise NRR 33 protection and I chose that over the lighter/smaller, lower protection models. They are as comfortable as some of the lighter non-electronics I've used and they seal well. The people that make them now (not in Colorado any more, now owned by Altus Industries IIRC) treated me very well with a trade in when my first set died a few months ago. The old ones were were many years out of warranty. It was going to cost not too far from the cost of a new set to repair them. They promised the sound quality would be much better than the old ones, and gave me a more than fair trade in. The sound quality is better. BUT, with what I'm hearing here, if I ever get a chance to try the Sordins, I would jump on it. It would be interesting to compare.

gmantwo Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I used peltors until I happened onto a pair of Caldwell Low profile e-max muffs. These are the most comfortable muffs I've ever worn, and the icing on the cake is that they're only $28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay guys, I think I narrowed my choiced down to three. They are the MSA Sordins Supreme Pro X, Peltors, and Pro Ears. Which type of Peltor and Pro Ear do you think is the best and why?
