these are what I have, bought three pairs so I would have an extra if my son decided he wanted to come along

I know you said no muffs. However, the Sordin Pros have a gel ear pad that's comfy as heck. I wear them in the TX heat hog hunting with no troubles.

I use Walker Razors. They're electric and run for 4-5 hours on a single charge. I put them in a just forget I even have them on! I use a Harrell precision tunable brake on my 7mag. Just awesome!

I use the horseshoe type and sometimes I use the barbed type on a string. They both work well. Every now and then I will use my Walker Ear Muffs when I'm hunting around the house in the swamp. It helps me hear the woods better because of my bad hearing.

I got tired of using ear plugs and ear muffs of all types. I started hunting suppressed 3 years ago and I couldn't be happier. If that's an option I would prefer to shoot suppressed over any ear protection.

I'm another fan of the Otto Noizebarrier. I've shot my braked 300 WM with them while hunting with no problems. When I'm at the range, I double down and use muffs as well. I changed out the foam inserts that came with them for Skullscrews and have no issues with them backing out.
+1 On the horseshoe type. It seem like these are the least cumbersome and are right there when you need them. I always seem to find them really quickly after squeezing the trigger on the 300WM with the 4-port slab brake 
. I recommend staying away from the ear plugs with the cord/rope that connects them together. Those get tangled in the bino harness, hoods, and hats too much.
When hunting with my 15 year old daughter this year, I packed a set of Walker's Lazer Series Low Profile ear muffs. They work great because you can communicate when ranging and calling the shots. I'd rather pack the extra weight when hunting with her, but I guess that's just dad - always wanting to protect his daughter.

I would love to shoot suppressed but that's just not in the cards at the moment unfortunately.

I can see that, my daughter was using a 6mm rem this season and I kept the horseshoe style handy, never got a chance to use them but we came prepared. I suppose I could have packed muffs since the weight wouldn't have amounted to anything in the pack along with the spotter, tripod and the extra layers brought along.+1 On the horseshoe type.

Another here using orange horse shoe ones. I just hunt with them around my neck. They work well enough, even for my 338 RUM with an aggressive brake.
I use to wear walker low profile ears with the build in mic, but they would get annoying in extreme weather.

Been wearing them around my neck for years. Don`t even notice them anymore.
