Been wearing the Howard Leight Impact Sport electronics for many years. Love them.

AXIL GS Extreme 2.0 earbuds work for me. They are lightweight and work great! Wait for a BOGOF sale, though from the manufacturer.

I used the Howard Leight and the Walker's for years (couple other brands too). They're both pretty good.
But last year I got the MSA Sordin. They are AMAZING. Completely different league. Not even close. Cost a lot more though.

That can be taken in multiple ways!
I bought a set of these when I found them on sale. They don't hurt my head like my Howard Leight. They are a bit overkill for just range use. I do plan on connecting them to a BaoFang radio in the future.

I've used cigarette filters, they work too.When I was young and all we could shoot were rifles, we never even wore ear plugs. As long as you stay behind the muzzle it aint bad at all.

I like my Howard Leight by Honeywell Leightning L3 Shooting Earmuff. I got sensitive hearing and I can have a full conversation with them on.
I occasionally use them in shop when I'm running hammers or constant use of my 1" impact. Or after rebuilding an engine on first start up with no exhaust on a stand.

I just got these. I’m hoping they work good for rifle and shotgun.
For pistol I use the electronic muffs

Mostly Walker muffs. Sometimes foam plugs. Sometimes both.

I'm looking to try some quality buds.
Over ear Howard Leight are constantly getting in the way when shooting rifle.

Any idea when or how often these go on BOGO?
The company has a 15% off $199.99 coupon running now. That brings it to $169.99.
Amazon has them for $179.99 w/free shipping.
Walmart has them for $149.99

I found the Howard leight uncomfortable.
Peltors were much more comfortable and similar noise reduction.
I've recently gotten a pair of Axil. The first pair died on my first outing. Emailed them and they sent me a brand new pair of the Bluetooth versions. Have used them a half dozen times now without issues.
I wanna try their earbuds next
They've got a 35% off sale going on now.

I used those while I was in the Military. Found out after that 3M fucked up and cost some soldiers their hearing. I won't trust them anymore.

I can't believe you and I are the only ones not liking the Howard Leight.
Do you have a link or coupon code for the 35% off sale?
You two ain't the only ones.

I had heard about that. Two things come to mind, active military are probably exposed to much bigger and many more explosions than us civilians, and, honestly, I've only heard it on those late night ambulance chaser commercials.Now I aint saying its not an issue,just have to wonder how widespread a problem it is,I got a pair of gel plugs from a Marine buddy he said came from the military.I used em a couple times, cant find them now.The foam just get thrown away.
