5.0 out of 5 stars Shooters look at these, and shop workers look too!, February 6, 2008

By	Tool User "A Tool user" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

Worried about your stock hitting your muffs? These are about the thinnest you will find in the area of your stock. Electronic muffs in conjunction with earplugs make a world of difference in the shooting sports. A competitive Shotgun shooter will be close to 400-600 shotgun discharges a day. 25DB reduction by one level of protection is not enough, add these and I think you will be impressed. They fit me great and I think they have an ear cup that is made for larger ears, compared to some other brands. There is also an plug so that you can attach your Ipod or other device. Of course that may not be the best thing to do if you tend to crank up the volume, so be prudent. I have not tested this feature, but a patch cable is included as are the batteries. Another brand I reviewed did not include the batteries nor did the option of plugging in another device exist. Leight is ahead, I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Ear Muffs, November 7, 2008

By	Joseph Sacher "Joe Sacher" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cheaper noise canceling safety ear muffs will turn off the sound for almost a full second after a noise impact (usually gun shot). These filter them out and bring the sound right back in. The sound is clear and static free, a difficulty with cheaper muffs also.

When I turn these up, I can hear far better than natural ability in the woods. These are equal in function and quality to many $150-200 pairs I have tried. Exceptional value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howard Leight R-01526 - Inexpensive but Great, April 14, 2009

By	H. Fanning (VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Howard Leight R-01526 is the perfect fit for a low budget high quality noise reduction solution for ear muffs. It has a nice compact fold-able design which does not put pressure on the foam ear pieces which over time would deform and reduce functionality and fit. The electronics will shut off after 4 hours so if you forget to turn it off after you are done using it, it saves the battery life. In case the batteries do expire, the batteries (2 AAA cells) are easily installed/replaced. The ON/OFF & volume control switch is easily reached with one hand so adjustment is just as easy. There is a 3.5 mm jack port for your MP3 player of choice so you can listen to digital recordings while still protecting your ears as well as being able to hear someone speaking in a normal conversation level around you in a noisy environment. It is easily adjustable for a comfortable fit and it noise reduction rating of 22 dBA makes it more than a match for even some other higher dollar models. It has a low profile so shooting against a rifle butt is not awkward nor clumsy. I would highly recommend this product to someone looking for a high quality, noise reducing electronic ear muff that will not break the bank.
