3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 17, 2008

By	M. Tanner (Mesa, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought these hearing protectors to use at the local gun range. They work moderately well, but I find the noise reduction not quite adequate for range use. These don't have enough padding to block out enough sound of even a 9mm, let alone the guy next door shooting a 500 magnum. They work fine for outdoor shooting.

They also don't fit on my wife or adult daughter, both of whom have narrow faces. They only seem to stay on my big head (in more ways than one). Women or men with shorter or narrower jaws need to look at the over the head hearing protectors.

On the plus side, the electronics do allow me to keep a normal conversation while shooting at the range, and their price is far below the pro version electronic hearing protectors.

1.0 out of 5 stars They simply do not work very well, July 17, 2009

By	cek "cek" (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews

I have owned a pair of the Peltor 7S headset since the early 1990s and those continue to work extremely well for me. I purchased the 6S thinking I would like the behind the head design & slightly slimmer profile and that I would let my son use the 7Ss.

After a full morning at the range I am returning these and just buying anohter set of 7s.

They do a very poor job of noise suppression. My ears were still uncomfortable with these on regardless of how I had the volume controls set.

They do not work AT ALL with a rifle (at least an AR15 style rifle). The behind-the-ear band prevented me from getting a sight picture through the scope because it pushed against the buttstock of the rifle.

They are inconvenient to pack because they do not fold up.

Wished I would have read the reviewes before purchasing. Glad Amazon is great with returns.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, May 28, 2009

By	Michael Adamson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I work on a shooting range every day, and found this to be one of the worst hearing protection products I have used. They fell apart after very little use, and the behind the neck mount was poor at best.
