Would be a decent budget muff if the smallest headband adjustment wasnt still way too big for most peoples heads. These are also sound clipping and not compression, which I hate. I took mine back long ago and got Peltor Tactical Sports, which are LEAGUES better, though more expensive.

Great little head set... They work well and do what you expect. Great for pistols, ok for rifles a check rest they get a little in the way, but able to over come that with a small riser... The music output quality is fair/poor to but that's not why you buy them, I usually use in ear music headset instead and get even more ear protection but still hear outside but turning up all the way the set...
With them being loose, you really have to put them all the way out (little more then it seems to click) for them to conform to your ears... But once I figured that out, they were a prefect fit.

I bought 1 pair of these and 1 pair of the Impact Pros. These one have a terrible fit - incredibly loose and lets tons of sound in. They are going back. I have a large head (not huge, just large). The Impact Pros are fantastic.

Figures, had these in cart for a few weeks waiting to see if drops any and finally ordered last night at the $49.03 price... all well....

Thanks original poster of 42$, purchased one last night... Don't see allot of thanks on this website unlike slickdeals where they always give props...

I've had a set of these for about 6 months now I think... and I love them. AR's (5.56 and 7.62), .45, .40... all work well. And not yet changed the batteries, even with a lot of use in sub-freezing temperatures. I recommend them to all my friends and let them try them on if they go shooting with me.

Not noticed a problem with stocks while wearing these, but I'm in the process of changing my 7.62 over to a Magpul PRS stock so we'll see how that works.

Please be sure to read the 48 1 star reviews. I had a pair didn't work...returned them and 2nd pair didn't work either. You have a 15% chance these will not cut out sound for you, or they will not seal around your noggin'. If you haven't compared these to a general Peltor can earmuff at 1/2 the price, then I guess you would assume these work fine.

The only thing these are good for is spying on your neighbors.

I have a set and love them! Comfortable and clear sounding.

bought via amazon and super saver shipping

comes from NY so i had to pay state tax, total was $48

I have these and they worked well for a while. Now they've quit working. Also, they interfere when firing rifles.

FWIW Nutnfancy reviews these on youtube and he liked them a lot, said they didn't interfere much with the stock of rifles. Also it has an auto shutoff after a few hours, which I consider essential in electronic earmuffs, but amazingly some don't have that, like these peltiers he evaluated. This set only uses one pair of batteries, which is nice.

I actually have noise cancelling headphones and I never turn them on because meh I don't really need to. The range officer at Angeles uses a speaker system that's super loud so it's tough to miss his instructions and I don't care to hear any conversations around me anyhow.

Oh! so the point being I prefer to shoot with ear plugs and headphones. The little 22db reduction the cans provide just ain't enough. The earplugs, *when properly seated* provide 30 or more, so between the two I just might avoid giving myself worse tinnitus or hearing loss. We weren't so enlightened 20 years ago..ouch 25 years ago....to use hearing/eye protection shooting guns, or revving car engines for that matter.

SO I really just needed new 'phones that had speakers built in so I can play my ipod. With the earplugs. Sounds dumb but it works for me. If you look at amazon they give a link to a set by the same company that doesn't require batteries, has the speakers, reduces noise a couple db more, and were only $27.

I'm going to give them a shot.

I'll probably end up buying these anyway, but my natural cheapness prevents me from spending that much money at this moment.

Got a set for my birthday. Work well went to range yesterday to try them out and noticed range officer wearing same set.

Fired my 1911 the noise level was good and the amplified voice lets you hear range commands a lot better.

Attached my ipod and I think it will work when I'm cutting lawn.

I bought these about 2 months ago, and FINALLY got to try them out this past weekend. They are GREAT!! I was shooting an AR pistol, and they worked like a dream. While I was shooting, I heard somebody driving up on me (private land), and I know I wouldn't have heard them had I been wearing standard muffs or plugs. Hearing my buddy talking to me while wearing them was nice too. I let him wear my second pair, and we never took them off for the hour we were shooting. The ONLY downside to these, and any other set of earmuffs, is sweaty ears when the temp gets up into the 80s and above.

The volume control/amplification is a nice feature too. I could easily hear my buddy talking to me from several yards away, and we never had to raise our voices.

Nice find, wanting to buy these for several months. Price drop and free shipping.

"Cheaper noise canceling safety ear muffs will turn off the sound for almost a full second after a noise impact (usually gun shot). These filter them out and bring the sound right back in. The sound is clear and static free, a difficulty with cheaper muffs also."

Great earmuffs for a great price, but they've been this price for at least a year (knowing since I got some about this time last year, and price history check shows very little variance since then).

You say they are $45 and free shipping....From whom? I can't find that price anywhere on your site. What an I doing wrong.
