Largest pro to me for these is you can wear these with a helmet rig. I personally hate buds, so these are great for me. The only thing is, dont leave batteries in for an extended period of time, the innards on mine were ruined by battery acid.

Good product. Batteries are easy to install. I flipped the ear cups over, putting the slimmer portion at my cheek to help with cheek weld. The noise cancellation works pretty well...works better for some noises/situations than others. I always wear double ear pro so I have no issues with this product. I would purchase these again.

I bought these hearing protectors because of the neck band. They can be worn under your helmet with no problem and they work just as good as the more expensive models. Battery life is also good although it requires 4 AAA's. Overall, it's a good product for the money.

Comfortable, compact and functional headset. But in the right all the time sizzles - some disturbing noises.

These ears were awesome for firearms training. Low profile design was great for rifle shooting, as foamies were not allowed. Everyone who tried them on wanted them and the Price was right. I think it only reduced sount 19db, but they were low profile design. Also batteries were not that difficult to put in.

The first time I used them the wind was gusting to 40mph & I set the mic sensitivity low & there was no wind noise. Our range is covered & 200 yards long. I do not shoot indoors. They fit great. Putting the batteries in the first time was challenging but went smoothly. My son ordered some after trying them once. We were shooting 22 pistols but the guy next to us was shooting 9mm & 45. They clipped the sound instantly. I cannot imagine more expensive ones doing any better. It was great not having to yell at each other. At home in my living room at 1:00am in the morn I turned up the sensitivity to max & heard what I thought was my outdoor heatpump kick in, so I went outside & realized it was my neighbors two houses down and across the street. I could see using them in the woods to help out my old ears. While shooting I heard my Iphone receive a text which was from my wife. That was great because the last time at the range I missed numerous texts & calls that were important.

These are my first pair of electronic hearing protectors. For the price, I don't think I could've done any better. These fit very well, and are comfortable. They're perfect if you wear a hat. Volume adjustments are easily made, and the sound is crisp and clear. It's hard to distinguish between when you have them on, and when you don't----the sound is THAT clear. Noise reduction is very good. I used them this weekend for the first time. I used them for .357 Magnum, .45 ACP, 30-30 Winchester, and 300 Winchester Magnum, to test the reduction, at my property in Muskingum County, OH. The shots were completely reduced. It was nice to feel the recoil and the percussion of the rounds, without the extreme noise. They made shooting more interesting. I have no quality issues, and am very happy with this purchase, and would highly recommend them to anyone. I have 2 other pairs of Peltor standard hearing protectors, and have always liked Peltor products. The Peltor Tactical 6S is fantastic! You won't ...

I feel this product is a great deal for the price. Performs well at the range. I would however suggest a design change for installing batteries as too much disassemby is required.
