hi james,
firstly what type of shooting do you do? sporting, trap, practical, stalking , game,vermin control theese would have a bearing on the product you need,
for now i'll presume you want to do sporting with a shotgun,
hocks filters are the latest technology in valve type and available through us at proshock available in a miraid of different colour combo's and designs
sonic valves are 1970's technology and have a little silver can in which your relying on a tube collapsing under air pressure to block harmful levels of sound. theese are what you see in shooters aids etc and some other brands of custom ear protection.(personally dont sell theese anymore but will supply if pushed)
cens proflex are cens moulded ear defenders without the elctronics, instead they fit a moulded removable passive valve such as a hocks this then will be able to be removed and replaced with the electronics which may be purchased later on, ideal if you plan to shoot game where you may be looking to enhance your hearing senses or out of season and want to use your cens electronics for clays but dont want to use the electronic part.
check out the website and pm me for more info if needed
