I was not happy with this muff for the following reasons:

1) The cutout period seems long (~3 seconds).

2) The cutout level seemed to ocuur at MUCH LESS than the rated 85db.

3) The pass thru sound intensity was noticably different between the left and right ears - not balanced. (There is only 1 volume control for both ears.)

4) Construction seemed cheap.

Do not recommend buying

These aren't the best ones out there, but neither do they claim to be. They work well for the price. I haven't had any problem with mine. The cutout works well. The level at which it cuts out is fine. I just use them for trap shooting. I would get better ones for hunting as these don't have enough adjustments. Overall, pretty good.

I got a pair for both myself and my husband. Used them today for the first time and we are both thrilled with them. He is teaching me to shoot and it's nice to be able to hear what he is saying and still be protected from the noise of the shot. I Love them!!!!

It's not stereo audio so the world around you sounds like a mono soundtrack of itself, which is a kinda funky. Try walking down the street with them on for an odd experience!

They work fine. I have a large head and ears and they got a little uncomfortable to wear after about an hour. 5 minutes off and I could put them back on, which is pretty good.

The sound cut-out works very well for occational loud things like gun fire. In a workshop with heavy tools, it's a little less useful. But I like that I can put on all my gear, respirator, glasses and muffs, and I can hear the world around me by turning the muffs on. Then when it's time to work, I turn them off.

I ordered these with high hopes, but was very disappointed. I don't even know how well the electronics worked because the workmanship was too shabby to last, and the padding was so thin and uncomfortable looking, I put them right back in the box. I am sending them straight back to China. I can't imagine how unhappy I'd be had I paid $140!
