Pro ears pro 300 hearing protection - Pro Ears Pro 300 Wind Abatement Hearing Protection Headset

As most ranges now require electronic hearing protection to better hear the range officer's instructions, I had to retire my old passive hearing protection earmuffs. After some research, the Pro Ears hearing protection Pro 300 meet my needs for shotgun, handgun, and rifle shooting. The unit has great sound amplification and sufficient noise reduction for most uses. However, the noise reduction rating of 26 (NRR) was a tradeoff for the low profile fit. (But, the NRR is higher than most similarly priced units.) So, for Magnum rifles with a muzzle brake, additional hearing protection earplugs are suggested.

While the noise reaction time is not as fast as the Pro Ears Gold Series hear protection ear muffs, (1.5 milliseconds vs. 5.0 milliseconds), the reaction time is much better than other manufacturer's units (if you can even find their rated reaction time.)There is, of course, a tradeoff of cost and performance and the price point of these units from Optics Planet was ideal.
