5.0 out of 5 stars should have had them sooner..., August 5, 2005

By	Vastine S. Steubing - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The "Peltor Tactical 6-s is everything I hoped for.They allow me to shoot at the range with no damaging noise, and still hear the range officer, or conversations near me.

Also I found that when using a noisy folding machine at work the sound is muted and barely audible. But I can still hear the telephone or someone speaking.

I love 'em

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent gear for the price, March 13, 2007

By	N. Anderson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am an Army MP officer stationed in Iraq. In the 3 weeks since I got these muffs I have used them on a couple of small arms ranges, in a CQB live fire exercise, and on several tactical ground and air movements. So far, they have performed as advertised. Very comfortable, fit great under the helmet, the mics work beautifully. Light weight, easy to store and carry (I usually loop them thru the strap on the non-firing shoulder of my IBA), and appear to be holding up nicely. Sturdy, user-friendly design, good protection, overall excellent value for the price. I am happy with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace officer praise, August 14, 2005

By	D. K. Tomlin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought two of the Peltor 97044 Tactical 6-S hearing protectors for myself and a friend and fellow officer. They exceeded both of our expectations and performed as well as or better than some more expensive muffs tried in the past. Thankyou for a fine product.
