I own a lot of peltor earmuffs. this is the most expensive yet the worst - PELTOR Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protection Ear Muffs w/Bluetooth

I shoot a lot. I own many various Peltor earmuffs. I needed a new set, so I ponied-up and bought these very expensive earmuffs, thinking they would be great. They are not. I have been using them for well over 6 months. I emailed Peltor (3M) and was told: send them back, we will check them out and replace them if defective. Sure
1) the headband is very hard and uncomfortable --- a really bad design
2) the noise reduction is no where near what they say it is. I find I often take them off and use one of my older Peltor muffs
3) they were very expensive
4) the ear muffs are not gel-filled. They are not nearly as comfortable as gel-filled (which some of my other Peltors are)
5) they do not amplify voice very well. I can easily hear other people talking --- with other earmuffs. Not with these
6) customer support was pathetic.
So, would I recommend these --- not a chance. Try any other Peltor or other Mfr's ear muffs first
I will admit, I did not buy them at Opticsplanet, I bought them from another vendor. But I resolved to not let others make my mistake. I have no doubt Opticsplanet would have stood by them and accepted a return ---- my tough luck, don't let it be yours.
