Earmuffs - hearing protector


When you want maximum hearing protection (high db rating) and don't want to invest large amounts of money in electronic ears, these do the trick. Nothing fancy, just solid protection. I got these to replace the low-end "Impact Sports" brand electronic ears which were so thin that just turning my head would sometimes cause them to slip off, and I'd get ringing in my ears every time someone would shoot near me. But these Peltors have huge ear cavities, stay put and have a much higher db rating (I think around 29). Well worth the $30 or so that they will cost you. They are my primary hearing protection right now. When finances permit, I will probably invest in a higher end electronic set of muffs, but even then will probably keep these as a backup or for friends. Glock Peltor Hearing Protection Ear Muff

I'm one of those strange people that has to own product with the manufacturers logo on it. Even though Peltor makes some great sound protection and many models to boot, I wanted the ear protection that had "Glock" on it. Anyway, these muffs are great. I have tried a couple other types (other manufacturers), and they did not protect my hearing as much as this set did. I also had problems with getting the headband to sit well across the top of my head, they always seemed a little "off." I Also had problems with the ear covers cracking, and let me tell you that when you have a set of "unknown" ear muffs, it is really difficult to find replacement parts! Knowing that my new Peltors are from a large - respected manufacturer, I know that parts are a phone call away.



These Peltor/Glock ear muffs fit snug, but are very comfortable. If you shoot at a closed range or an open range (hand gun or rifle), they do an excellent job!!! Amazon had the best price, and I looked all over the place. Everybody else had what seemed to be great prices until you add their inflated shipping fees.

Used twice so far. Once at a NASCAR race and once while using a power trimmer. Actually purchased for range shooting and race events but will also use for yard work after seeing (not hearing), how well they work. Sturdy and comfortable. - Hearing Protector'
