Ear defenders

[Dave01]

So my question to the collective, what best
fitted in-ear
electronic muffs
normal muffs
throw away sponge type?

I use over ear electronic, Peltor Sportac.
They're good, no issues from me. I'd prefer to try some in-ear options but the price is crazy.

Over the ear - Swatcom.
Fitted in-ear - Custom Fit Guards.

Swatcom the best option if you don't have a problem bumping the stock.

It depends what you want besides hearing protection . If you prefer total isolation from start to finish , that will take you one way , if you want to have the ability to have normal hearing , then cut off the bang , that’s another choice . Next is do you want to be able to amplify ambient noise ? , perhaps hear a distant trap spring or the wing beats of a pheasant breaking cover ? . Then let’s look at your eyewear , are you comfy with ear defenders over your spec frames ? Are you shooting just clays , where you may prefer to easily switch off electronics on the stand , or game as well where you might want 360 awareness .

Me , 95% of the time MSA Sordin Pro X ear defenders ( Sordin make Swatcom ) gel ear seals , on the odd scorching day , custom moulded passive plugs .

Ps with electronic over ear muffs , you get what you pay for .

Just upgraded from passive CFG to Swatcom, night and day better . Can chat normally and fun shot is really well muted .

You do get a slightly sweaty ear, but I don’t notice that until I remove them.

Also, battery life is significantly better than active in ear….
