I shoot USPSA, Steel Challenge and some rifle; these are the best electronic hearing muffs I have used. Range commands and instructions can be heard very clearly yet shooting noises are muted extremely well. This is my second pair; I keep my other pair for friends I take shooting. Optics Planet has the best prices I have ever seen for these headsets and as always, shipping is quick and items are well protected. You cannot go wrong purchasing Pro Ears from Optics Planet!

Although getting the right color was an ordeal (OP couldn't seem to believe I knew diff between ordered-NEON and shipped-OLIVE green)the ears do work well and hearing is very clear when in the on mode. Sound suppression is VERY good in off mode and in on mode provides louder shot sound but still not damaging. A bit bulky but good for range use.
Pros: Clear hearing when not muting shots
Cons: Louder than expected shot suppression
Would recommend: Yes

The best hearing protection I've found at 33db noise reduction. But, the plastic headband breaks easily, especially compared to the steel headbands most have at this price point, the batteries are the expensive N-type instead of AA or AAA. And they are bulky, but that's also part of why they're so good at noise reduction. Fortunately, OpticsPlanets stocks the head bands!
Pros: Excellent noise reduction
Cons: Weak head band, bulky, expensive batteries
Would recommend: Yes

I ordered Pro-Ears Pro Mag Gold Shooting Hearing Protection Headsets GS-DPM from Brisbane, Australia.
The product arrived in perfect condition after one week.
As soon as I opened the box, the product could be immediately used.
I tested it on my ride-on mower that has an incredibly loud Briggs & Stretton engine and then at the range.
The reduction of high energy sound waves is excellent as well as the discrimination capacity of the electronics that enables voice and low intensity background sounds to be reproduced in real time.
The electronic circuits can be switched on and off and it is possible to set a different volume level per each ear.
It is also possible to connnect an external audio source such a mobile phone or a music player or a radio by a standard jack.
This product is marketed for shooters but it works great in noisy workshops and with gardening tools too.
Price is a bit high but only if we compare this product's price to the price of some other lower market products that do not offer the same quality and/or advanced features.
I certainly recommend this product.
Pros: Excellent voice controlled amplification together unwanted loud sounds reduction
Cons: Price could be better.
Would recommend: Yes

Bought a set for myself and my wife with the belt clips. She noticed the improvement over other brands that we own immediately. We are both pleased. She has great hearing and wants to keep it. I have not so good and want to keep what I have left.
Pros: All positive technically.
Cons: A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
Would recommend: Yes
