I'll qualify this review by saying, I've not used any other electronic earpro than Walker's Razor Slim, and that is a very hi-value, if definitely not equal, set of e-muffs. Prior to this I'd used 32dB-NRR non-powered earpro, as well as doubled up with 30-32NRR foam earplugs as well as used them alone. My review is for this set of Tac Slim Golds doubled with 32dB-NRR foam earplugs.

One area you'll appreciate the (very) high price vs. even the rather expensive Peltor Tac 500s... is the comfort. The earcups are generous for my normal, non-Dumbo ears... and switched off, keep the scary world and its 50BMG reports from three stalls away (outdoors, under a red iron/wood roof) noticeably out of decibel danger last range day -- in fact, when then shooter squeezed off that Barrett, I'd feel the report more than hear it. .223 is a mild pop, and remarkably when switched on, you can hear your buddy in the next stall speaking just fine, just like in the video on the site (I'd noticed it all day, and it still seems like magic). The headband is padded and very comfy for the whole day at the range -- something not ditto'd for the Walkers. They are also deceptively light for their size -- easy to push up onto your head when the range is cold.

My own 9mm P320's report was like a clap of hands from ten feet away -- and versus the Walkers (which are quite a bit slower to react to >82dB than these Golds -- for the price, expected), you don't get that sliver of amplified report sneaking in unde
