I got a pair of Field and Stream low profile electronic muffs from Dicks. They work great! It was on a gift card so I spent too much on them...$79.99.

 

There are much cheaper ones available.

Midway has a pair that was recommended to me on sale right now:

+1 Peltor Tacsports are great. I still need to pick up a pair for myself...

 

On a side note, if you're going to be shooting primarily indoors, I would also recommend you wear secondary hearing protection under the muffs. Just pick up the cheap ear bud ones.

I bought the Howard Leight ones, found here

I bought them beginning of March from Amazon, they were only 46 bucks, now they are $60! Mine were sold direct from amazon, the link looks like its coming from another source, but look around maybe you can find them for less than 60. They work great, i was @ Ft. Dix on Wednesday and saw at least 6 other pair there. I usually shoot indoors, and they work great

I use these:

They've worked well for me.

 

I see these quite often http://www.amazon.com/Peltor-97044-Tact ... B00009363P but have never tried them myself.

Same here. Amazon isn't even listed as a seller anymore.

One thing to keep in mind is what type of shooting you will be doing, any of them work for Pistol, but you'll want them to be narrow (or as close to your head) as possible for rifle, or shotgun.. The ones I mentioned are pretty narrow. They also have a port for Ipod or mp3 player in the rear of them

Why do you need an electronic hearing protection?

For the amplification. i.e. when I take firearms classes, I point the mics on the earmuffs towards the back and turn up the volume so I can hear the instructor better.

Why do you need an electronic hearing protection?

 

Because I can converse in a normal manner with people and hear them when they respond yet firearms are going off all around me and my ears aren't ringing

just to talk to the others on the range it was my thought that would be a safer way to be at the range

 

no mp3 for me :naughty:

+1 on the Howard Leight impact sport muffs. I recently got a set of them and love 'em. Very low profile so they don't get in the way of rifle shooting. They work great, although wolfy accuses me of continuing to yell while wearing them. LoL

I just got them, but so far they work really well. My wife wore them the other day while we were shooting for 2+ hours and she really liked them too.

i picked up that exact set for my brother and i on ebay, for about 25.00 a piece... we both thought they were great, it was much easier comminicating what we were doing right or wrong to each other. the only thing is these have the mics facing in one direction, so you need to be facing each other when speaking. i have seen other ear phones with mics front and back made for hunters i think, they probably work even better. one last thing dont put the volume to high on them because they will pick up the the air ventilation system, it gets annoying really quick...

CHAD YOU DO YELL!!!!!!!

WHAT??? I CANT HEAR YOU!!!
