These ear muffs let you shoot and protect your hearing. You can hear normal conversation without removing. You probably could hear animals on your stand. Should have bought these looooooong ago. Read more

They do exactly what they need to do. The fit is very snug, so it makes even passive noise cancelling pretty good. The mic is pretty sensitive, so you can hear people speak pretty far away. Strongly recommend! Read more

Out the box, these muffs were uncomfortably tight, but I've found that to be the case with ever type I've ever tried. A few days spent stretching on a stack of books, basketball, etc. usually makes them more comfortable and that was the case with these. The pads around the ears are very soft and feel good for long periods although the material doesn't breath at all, so be prepared to sweat a little if you're not able to periodically remove them. The speaker sound system is...fine. It definitely allows you to hear the environment around you but it doesn't provide the sound localization you have with normal hearing, i.e., you can't create a mental picture of your environment and the location of things in it from the sounds around you because everything comes through a single speaker in each ear, which creates a flat reproduction of the ambient sounds. There's no texture or dimensionality to the sound. It's rather like being underwater, and the feeling is amplified (no pun intended) by the fact that when there isn't any ambient sound you'll hear your own breathing. Really distinctly. To the point of distraction. The compression effect for loud sounds works well enough, but that brings me to my only real complaint with these muffs, and my reason for deducting a star: they don't reduce the sound of gun fire quite enough, and I bought them to wear while shooting. They're definitely better than shooting with no ear protection at all, and the noise reduction was sufficient for shooting small caliber pistols. But I first noticed a slightly uncomfortable level of sound was reaching my ears when I started banging away with the .357, and after a couple rounds of 7.62 I switched out to my cheaper, less comfortable, but much quieter shooter's muffs that I've been using for a while. The next guns to be fired were a 30-06 and a 308 and I didn't want to find out what those sounded like with the Walker's on. So for, say, power tool use or other industrial applications these muffs would probably be ideal: they're comfortable, give you pretty good environmental awareness because of the speakers, and sufficiently muffle moderately loud sound--I wish I'd had them when I was learning to play the drums, I could have worn them when practicing and saved my hearing to be ruined at actual gigs. But for very loud sounds like rifle fire, I found them to be not quite enough protection. Read more

Muy buenos pero cuando hace aire se escucha más ruido que con los Howard legit y por cierto a ambos les compré las gomas de gel pe que son igual de que incómodos después de un rato Read more
