Pro For Sho 34dB NRR Hearing Protection Ear Muffs - Highest NRR in Compact Design, Ear Protection for Shooting, Mowing, Work

I ordered these hearing protection ear muffs after a trip to the shooting range left me absolutely stunned by how loud it was. These muffs are fantastic! They’re incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods and provide amazing sound reduction. The noise from the shooting range was completely muffled, and I could focus on what I was doing without that ear-splitting racket. They fit securely and snugly, without putting too much pressure on my head. I’m really impressed with the quality and how well they perform—definitely a must-have for anyone who’s around loud noises. Would highly recommend these to anyone who needs solid hearing protection!

I work at a pet salon and am surrounded by velocity dryers and barking dogs every day. I was using a borrowed pair of Walker's Razors but decided to get my own ear muffs. I liked that these lower the decibel level a little more than the Walker's, and got a great deal on them for prime day. I've worn them at work for a few days and they're awesome and easy to wear without giving me a headache from pressure or pressing on my glasses or ear piercings. They seal over my ears well even with the glasses on. Not sure yet how well they'll endure daily use over a long period of time, but for the price range I feel like they're worth trying out.Update: 6 months in and the plastic ring the ear muff attaches to has cracked. However, I think I have to chalk it up to rough handling by a coworker borrowing them rather than a fault with the product itself. I have a glue that melds plastic together and I plan to try to repair the ring, but if that fails I'll honestly probably buy another pair of the Pro For Shos.

I have been doing a lot of woodwork lately with a buddy, a couple of projects around the house. I had a couple of my fiance's earplugs she uses when her dad stays with us (he saws more logs in his sleep than I could do in a lifetime awake), but some of the tools were getting through the ear plugs so I decided to hunt for a solution.When I had shop classes we were always given earplugs in the shop so I sought the best noise-dampening earplugs I could find. I turned to Flents Quiet Time ear plugs (Amazon Item B07HHXGPW6). They were effective when inserted properly, but unfortunately they often worked their way out of proper insertion and were therefore far less effective. But they were $15 bucks for 70 pairs, so I figured I could keep them for my buddies when they work on stuff with me, but I knew these earplugs weren't the everyday option I was looking for. I had seen other options when searching, so I took to the web again.I pulled up other earplugs on Amazon, and the suggested links had earmuffs. I remember seeing them on children at concerts, so I clicked on a couple. (Good enough for developing ears, good enough for mine, right?) All the noise ratings were higher than industrial earplugs and the price was still in that $10-$20 range. I bought a couple of them to test by Pro For Sho (Amazon Item B017RZ45F6) and ClearArmor (Amazon Item B00NKSMPZW).The Pro For Sho is a good set. They're sleek-looking and they fold relatively compact when not in use. I think they muff noise better than the Flents earplugs even when the earplugs are properly inserted. However, I felt that they were tight. They aren't bad for a few minutes at a time, but I did feel the pressure with sustained use. My buddy tried them for a day and said he didn't have that problem, so maybe I just have sensitive temples? For the record, my cap size is S/M and his is M/L.The ClearArmor is a GREAT set. They aren't as low-profile as the Pro For Sho, but frankly no ear muff is going to be invisible; it's not about looking cool, it's about being safe, right? Plus they also fold on the same mechanism that the Pro For Sho does, so they also fit in storage easily. They muffed sound about the same as the Pro For Show, but I could almost forget they were on. The ear pad is soft and comfortable, the headband didn't feel too tight at all, and I could and did wear them all day in the shop.I was going to return the Pro For Sho in favor of the ClearArmor, but my buddy said he would take them. So in the end I guess they were both good buys, just not for me. The earplugs weren't a bad buy--they'll get used--but I won't buy them again.PS if you want all kinds of ear protection, pair the earplugs with the muffs. The internet says it adds something like +5 NRR to the one with the highest rating. I don't know numbers like that, but I did give it a try with the earplugs inserted poorly and the earmuffs on and it was super effective. If I had some comfortable earplugs that stayed in, it would be easy to see myself using both when working on the loudest-of-loud tools in the shop.Ultimately:Flents Quiet Time (Amazon Item B07HHXGPW6): 3 stars. Effective but iconsistent.Pro For Sho (Amazon Item B017RZ45F6): 4 stars. Effective but uncomfortable.ClearArmor (Amazon Item B00NKSMPZW): 5 stars. Effective and comfortable.

Let me start with saying that I am required to wear hearing protection for the duration of my shift (8-10 hours) I was a fan of another in-ear banded (orange) but the replacement ear buds are hard to find. At the time, this product was having a deal. I was leary on the 34db as I thought they may be too quiet. As it turns out, perfect for my situation. Airplane noise, APU, ground equipment, etc. QUIET! I can still hear a conversation within 3 feet, more importantly can hear my radio without the use of another type of in-ear monitor. Best part, no more intrusive ear bud end applying pressure to my inner ear. The quality of the ear surround is good, comfortable. There is an ease of "folding" for storage when not in use and a quick "unfold" to place back on. As well, the tension is great if you wanted to wrap around arm or leg or even pivot 90 degrees to keep on your head when not using for purpose. I thought I would want an electric "noise cancelling" feature, but with this product, not needed. Overall great buy. I have recommended to co-workers who had the orange band and I'm see more "PRO FOR SHO" on their heads.

Works well. Comfortable to wear and folds up compact.

Very good sound attenuation and for a very reasonable price. Seem to be well made. Bought as something to lend to other shooters, but instead I replaced my set with these.

Got these for a hunting trip. They did the job and helped with the gunshot noise for the most part. The only con is that they’re not as comfortable to keep on for extended periods of time.

Comfortable fit - great noise blocking.

Most people I guess use this for gun ranges and whatnot. For that it must be great. I tried to use it in a library / work environment. It provides quite a good sound isolation but it is realllllllly tight around my head. I've kept this thing stretched for a full week before properly using it, it was still squeezing the hell out of me. Double this up with some ear canal blockers, you hear virtually nothing. Good for short term use. Not something you would wear for more than 10 minutes. Too tight!

I bought these for shooting, why? for the 34 D B protection. I also bought a cheaper pair as a spare, different make and half the cost £16.95. The only difference between the two, a second layer of thin sponge, cost around 2 pence a side. These say on the net for shooting..... when mine arrived on the back of the box it states may not be an accurate indicator of protection against noise such as gunfire...believe me there is no difference between these and the cheaper ones I bought with 22 D B for shooting. This is not a good product if you want to protect your hearing while shooting.

Small for my ears

Profil assez fin, parfait pour pouvoir épauler sans problème.La tenue sur la tête est bonne et le casque ne crée pas de pression au niveau des tempes.Une fois plié, le casque est compact et se range facilement.Par contre je l'utilise avec des bouchons internes en complément (utilisation en stand intérieur) et je ne prendrai pas le risque de l'utiliser sans.

They were too tight and hurt my head... I couldn't adjust them any looser. I sold them on Facebook marketplace. Noise cancelling doesn't match the rave reviews - the ones at the hardware store are equal.
