Electronic ear muffs
RLMoeller:
I've been using the Howard Leight Impact for the past 3 years and have been happy with them, especially for the price point. Previously I used mostly in-ear plugs of various types, and sometimes the heavy traditional style Peltor, so these are the only electronic I've used extensively.
A couple features I like about the HL Impact:
- They shut off automatically after 4 hours, which helps with battery life. It does come as a surprise the first time they just shutdown on you, until you remember it's been about 4 hours since you turned them on.
- The ear pads are replaceable. The plastic seems to harder over time if you get sunscreen on them, then they don't seal as well. It's nice that they just pop out and replacements pop in. The replacement kit also includes new foam liner, but I haven't felt a need to replace those.
Kendahl:
Since Howard Leight got the most votes, I stopped at Cabela's today and bought the Pro muffs. The Sport muffs would have been cheaper, but the Pros have a higher attenuation rating. I hope they work well enough that I can skip ear plugs.

I don't always wear plugs with them. Depends in what and wear I am shooting. My AR under a roof can be pretty noisy.
Now MANLEY Rob for silencer reference :D
