Reader Reviews I have been using these for seven years, or more. They have been 100% reliable and have been a great advantage in pistol shooting. The sound is balanced correctly, so you still have a proper sense of a sound's direction. The passive noise cancellation is adequate, as good as most headsets and better than many, but not the very best. I wear these in the woods and at the range. In the woods they give a huge improvement on my already above average (for my 45 years) hearing, with the volume turned up I can hear birds that I didn't even realize were there before, as well as the sounds of distant neighbors going about their motorized business. I have been able to track a shot deer by the sounds of braking twigs as it ran 25 yards before falling and rolling down a hill. Sounds that would have been lost in the aftermath of my 303 now perfectly audible. The electronic hearing protection works very well, I am never aware of the onset of a bang, just a sudden silence which tapers off a moment later, as if someone had suddenly stuffed cotton wool into your ears. There are only two down sides, after each bang there is a noticeable delay. On the range these delays can overlap the next shot, so in the end you get big gaps when your hearing is only as good as everyone else's. The cans are a bit bulky, so with a rifle like an AR15 where you need to get your head down to the sights they can interfere. Peltor have solved this with the Comtac models which have a cutout to give the stock clearance, but these don't have that. Peltor have been excellent for me and I'd not hesitate to buy from them again, which is actually why I am here looking to upgrade to the Comtac so that I can use my radio gear at the same time as I am shooting.
