SHOOTER13 said:I use SUREFIRE EP3 Sonic Defenders...
EP3 Sonic Defenders protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their double-flange stem design fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates the patented Hocks Noise Braker® filter. EP3s include attached stopper plugs, which can be inserted for further protection, and they also block out lower-level noise like that heard on a plane. They can be used in situations where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical.
The right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer and are ergonomically shaped, with an adjustable-stem design, providing a secure fit, all-day comfort, and extended product life (3 to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). And their low-profile design means they can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case. Available in clear or black.

Sometimes works, sometimes not, sometimes squeals and crap.
Really annoying, I though they would be decent for the $80 price tag (if I remember right)
Is there any sort of warranty?
Maybe shooting in a concrete bunkers creates too much sound pressure for them...
Agreed. I "double up" with plugs and muffs. I can't quote db numbers from the sofa but I look and buy the highest I can get. Have 2 muffs and buy plugs as needed.DHonovich said:Hearing protection is not something you want to skimp out on.
