I’ve been using ear muffs for a long time: first Peltor and lately Walker electronic. The walkers are barely adequate on the outdoor range, but I like the fact that I can carry on a conversation and hear range commands with them. Recently, after reading good reviews, I ordered a pair of Walker Silencer Bluetooth earplugs. They are great for listening to music, not so much for sound suppression. I tried them one time and, after 6 rounds of .357 took them out and packed them away. They were almost as good as the old trick of using cigarette filters for emergency sound suppression.
So, are there any sound suppression earplugs that allow conversation but kick in an effective clipping feature with concussive (gunshot) sounds? In the interim I’m back to my electronic ear muffs with supplemental foam earplugs indoors.
