I'm a smaller frame guy and have a normal size head. These would not fit over my ears when worn at the crown of my skull. There is little to no adjustment either. I've read other reviews about these not fitting either. They did not fit any of my friend's heads either...?

I have a job that requires wearing hearing protection everyday. They feel just as comfortable after a twelve hour shift as they did when I first put them on. Other brands tend to start to squeeze my head after wearing them for a few hours. I have been using these for about a month now and have not experienced any discomfort what so ever. This was a great purchase for the money and now I have about half my shift at work getting ready to purchase them. Thank you!!!

This is a nice slimline earmuff if you are looking for one but are not willing to spend the extra money for a fancier model. It does the job nicely; would have been an excellent choice had the noise level reduction is higher. But, it is always a trade off between the price and noise level reduction. I still use a disposable ear plug along with this ear muff. It does the job for me.

I did a lot of research before I bought two pairs here. I can't believe all the cheap vinyl padded headbands and tissue paper thin earpads on the market. These have a stiched nylon cover on the headband and heavy-duty but still soft earpads. The headband itself is steel, not flimsy plastic. I've read other reviews of these where the only con was a tight fit. I think they fit well, and my hat size is 7 3/4. The slim cups are well out of the way for long gun shooting, and still have a more than adequate NRR 23. I feel I made a great choice.

I wanted a super compact folding earmuff and that's what these are. But, they are so tight, it feels like my head is being squeezed in a vise. I think they might give me a headache if I wore them for any length of time.

Fit great, provide good dampening at the range, and collapse into a really tight shape.
