 just ok July 28, 2010

Don,t know about the gun shot end but the regular plug end isn't any better than the foam junk they hand out at work.
 Ok, but the disposable foam kind work better and are more comfortable July 28, 2010

I purchased these to use at my outdoor range. I found for relatively low-noise shooting, such as trap shooting (bird shot out of a 28"+ barrel), these provided adequate noise protection with either the yellow or olive side. I would not recommend these alone in louder situations, such as an indoor pistol range, even with the olive side. If used indoors, I'd double-up protection with muffs on top of these.
While these were ok for an outdoor range, I found them to be uncomfortable when I left them in for a long time, and the NRR rating of 22 is just "ok".
At the same time I purchased these, I bought a box of disposable foam plugs to give to friends who go to the range with me. Eventually, it dawned on me that the foam plugs worked better and are more comfortable. I recommend you bypass these plugs in favor of the 32NRR 3M Peltor Nitro Ear Plugs; NRR: 32dB; Four Colors; Style: Corded which I found to be more comfortable and offer better noise reduction. I typically "double up" the 32NRR foam plugs with a pair of electronic muffs on top.
 Great ear plugs July 16, 2010

Short of full sized ear protection for indoor ranges, this is probably the best hearing protection I've used. I was issued these exact ear plugs in the military for use as an Infantryman in Iraq, so I can tell you first hand that these work very well in combat situations. The option to choose between full hearing protection and partial means you will be able to carry out conversations and hear things more effectively while still protecting your hearing. They fit snugly into my ears and don't require adjusting once I've put them in, which is more than I can say about other ear plugs. I also find they have an advantage over the full sized hearing protection often used at the range because that usually interferes with my eye protection in a way these do not. Half the time, the eye protection pops those ear muffs off my ears just enough to expose me to the full sound of my weapon. These ear plugs are a great alternative to that problem. Highly recommended for outdoor use, acceptable for indoors as well. Again, as a former Infantryman who has frequently been in REAL combat with these ear plugs, I highly recommend them.
Not bad... July 14, 2010

I use these for shooting, (.22, a .357 a .40S&W and a shotgun) They let in a bit more sound than I'd like, but still pretty good...the only issue I have with them is that when no loud sounds are present, you have to listen to other shooters yelling to eachother...
almost perfect... July 9, 2010

I've used two different types of passive earplugs, these & the Surefire Sonic Defenders. Both have pro's & cons. If I could only have one, this would be the one.
I will review these in comparison to the Surefires.
Comfort: Surefire is more comfortable in the ear, but the Peltors can be worn easily for hours on end.
Noise Reduction: The Peltors work better, but also reduce more of normal sounds (voices, people moving, etc). If the "normal" sounds are very important, pick the Surefires. As a result, the Peltors also work better in louder conditions.
Real world usage:
Shooting outdoors, the Surefires with stopper out is adequate for 22LR, 9mm, 40 S&W, etc (smaller caliber). Even with the stopper in, I found 223 a little too loud for my comfort. Using the Peltor outdoors, I found all comfortable -- including 223. Standing next to a 30-06 & 308 to spot, is loud but manageable. If I was the shooter, I'd prefer to place olive side in.
All in all, these Peltors have now become my shooting earplugs of choice. For sleeping, I still prefer to use my Surefires so that I can block street & fan sounds, while still easily being able to hear things that go bump in the night -- while still leaving me ready to go hot if needed. Yeah... paranoid I know.
