The microphone and sound-enhancing part of the earmuffs don't work, even with 4 new batteries installed, so I called 3M for support and the sales rep says the model # and serial # indicate these earmuffs were discontinued in 2018 (or earlier), and said he had no idea why Optics Planet is selling discontinued products. #Fail
Cons:
- electronics don't work
- discontinued product
Would recommend: No

These were recommended to me but honestly my Howards are far better for much less money. Everything about these feels cheap. They don't don't even fold up properly, and the battery location is a joke.
Cons:
- Low quality
- expenisive
- horible design
Would recommend: No

After a few range sessions and 50~ hours of use I’d say that I’m impressed by this headset. It provides adequate hearing protection while being small enough to stay out of the way of a rifle stock. The electronics have been great so far. Everything sounds crisp and clear. Small sounds are amplified while louder sounds over a certain level are muted. The headset is light weight, comfortable, and easy to wear for extended periods of time.
Would recommend: Yes

The left side of the hearing protection stopped working in under a month. Other then that was good until then. Returned. I’m not surprised though since my last pair I bought years ago had the same issue.

These were a gift for my dad, he loves them, he really appreciates being able to hear voices while still protecting what little hearing he has left. Additionally, the slim design allows for a nice fit when tucked up against the stock. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend these ear muffs.

Works just as advertised. Tames the loud noises and exaggerates the soft
Sounds. Battery area is not as difficult as everyone makes it seem. Use at a very loud range and works well. Outdoor ranges are obviously even quieter. I don't see a need for individual on dials per ear but it's not that much of a pain to turn on both.
Would recommend: Yes

Product works great. I would give it five stars except for the totally ridiculous procedure of trying to install batteries. Hearing is excellent when you have volume turned up and at the same time it reduces noise when the shot is fired. Oonly draw back is the battery's installation process.
Would recommend: Yes

I bought these for everyday range use and also because they fit under my ACH for military purposes. I love them. I can hear everything around me very clear and then they suppress like they are supposed to. I will never own a different pair.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Military grade durable
- Amplifies and protects very well
Best Used for:
- Work
- shooting/range day
- Military
Would recommend: Yes

I recently took these to my favorite indoor range. These are great, they are relatively compact and are an awesome looking tactical headset. They diminish noise, amplify weak sounds and fold easily into a small package. Most importantly, these provide reliable tactical hearing protection. There is no doubt a lot of engineering went into this design. These lightweight, tactical electronic earmuff headsets diminishes high-level noise and are the perfect size. I was able to use these with the volumes turned up all the way with absolutely no problem.(with no additional ear Plugs Etc
These are made by 3M the Company is a leading resource for hearing, respiratory and eye protection, communication headsets and other tactical safety products.
You will not be disappointed.
Thanks
