[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 43030, member: 8947"] In the process of investigating electronic ear muffs, and would love any feedback. Use will be during bird hunting where I need to hear the surroundings as well as getting some noise protection. I have peltor #7 and #6 available in my area. They seem to have the lowest Db cutoff of 82Db. Others have 84 or 82Db cutoff. Does anyone know if these ratings are accurate? How would this compare to normal earmuffs with rating of 30Db? How well do these turn on and off? Do they really amplify normal sound levels? Any info would be appreciated. I have been using the Howard Leight leightning with a 31db rating. Works very well and I even use ear plugs when shooting my muzzle braked 300Wby. For what it costs nowadays, can we afford not to use hearing protection? Jerry [/QUOTE]
