[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2641827, member: 78163"] For years with handguns and rifles in really loud situations like inside, muzzle brakes, outside with a roof, I did mostly non-electronic pods plus plugs. I also had a pair of compact electronics from many years ago, I used those mostly for shotgun without plugs. I found not enough room in the ear cup was painful (and my ears are not that big) and they did not seal well with almost any shooting glasses. So I invested in some nice gel seals for them. What a great upgrade but as happens then they totally died so I just use them as non electronic now. For replacements for long (time) range sessions I bought Sordin Supreme Pro X with the gel seals. Mine are not bluetooth capable, they do have a 3.5mm jack for other inputs but no microphones for voice, just under $300. The battery replacement is a little goofy (I thought they were defective but did not realize second batter was hidden, but I like not having to remove gel pads to do it. Comfortable and seal well with a variety of eye pro without being overly large. Website says NRR = 18-19 (contradiction from web page to owners manual) which I think is good. I do wish they were rechargeable both for the environment and so I don't have to worry about batteries exploding and killing them like happened to my last pair. I have not considered in ear electronics, I want my electronics to be over ear for more protection. I'm sure they are great for some but in lower noise environments like only one person at a time firing minor 9mm handguns outside without a roof I find disposable foam to allow good protection plus I can still hear OK. To me the main downside to over the ear is how hot it is, NC gets toasty in the summer. JB [/QUOTE]
