Re: What hearing protection
I bought the Sordins basic version, and they work really well. It's amazing how good the stereo ability is given the microphones don't have an ear shape around them. They cut out the bangs in a very unobtrusive manner, yet I can hear everything around me quite easily. Not sure how comfortable they will be if the weather ever warms up though.
I sent an email to Ultimate Ear about getting my Reactears checked out, I still think the valve isn't working as it should. But as others have found, their after-sales service is not brilliant.

Careful now/that sort of thing
Re: What hearing protection
Just bought a pair of the Howard Leights from the US ( ebay) for £42 delivered.
Seem to work fine, and quite slimline.
A lot more comfortable than my old plugs which were not much use for the range unless worn with a pair of cans as well

Re: What hearing protection
We bought 2 pairs of the Caldwell E-MAX Low Profile Electronic Earmuffs from MidwayUSA, under £20 a pair and work really well 

There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)

Re: What hearing protection
I got some ear defenders from homebase I shoot .44 magnum revolver I will be going into full bore rifle will these be ok or should I upgrade to a set of peltors? ?
Re: What hearing protection
I would be inclined to look out for a set of Peltors, they are cheap enough to get and are designed for shooting. Have a look for the Army issue ones on that well known auction site. we always have a couple of pairs in the car in case someone forgets their own.

Re: What hearing protection
I can't find my Sordins...
I have looked everywhere, car, rooms, all our bags, everywhere...can't find them.
Last time I saw them was at the Phoenix.
Guess I have to buy a new pair :roll:
