Peltor 97043 Tactical 6S Behind the Head Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Terrible
I work on a shooting range every day, and found this to be one of the worst hearing protection products I have used. They fell apart after very little use, and the behind the neck mount was poor at best.
Customer Review: Disappointing, but what do I know?
I'm not the usual person to point toward the packaging and extras, but someone should show me how to fold these things. Amazingly cheap feeling for their price, I'm thinking I should have ordered something other than these discounted $99 muffs. I wish they had come with a cleaning cloth, case or instructions other than what was enclosed (the latter only), little things like that reinforce the sale and the absence of them of them has only left me wondering...

Peltor 97010 Ultimate 10 Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Effective Protection for Reasonable Price
I had been using an old set of sound surpression headsets used by airline mechanics. I do not really know what DB reduction was achieved by these older headsets. However, I can say that the Peltor Ultimate 10 headsets did a much better job of reducing noise. I use these noise surpression headsets occasionally in an indoor shooting range that can be very noisey and harmful to unprotected ears. The Peltor's reduce the sound pressure of my 9mm Glock to a boom, that while still being quite loud, did not annoy my ears. To test them, I traded headsets with a shooter next to me who was using the standard range headset and found the Peltors to be much more effective. If there is any drawback to the Peltors it is that they stick out rather far from your ear because of the additional damping material inside the earpiece. This creates no problem for me but very rarely, some shooters have a particularly different shooting posture in which they bend their necks while aiming and can touch their shoulder with the headset. This is not a good shooting posture and perhaps the Peltor headsets can even help correct it. I think the Peltors are a good product at a reasonable price. Please be aware that using sound surpression headsets can block out so much sound that you cannot hear things that you need to hear. An example might be not hearing someone who is being hurt by mechanical equipment where you cannot prevent further injury because you cannot hear the problem. The important thing with sound surpression earphones is to reduce the sound pressure on your ears to a safe level but not so much that you become totally isolated from your surroundings. In this aspect I think the Peltor's are a reasonable compromise between isolation and protection.
Customer Review: If you're at the range and you like being able to hear for the rest of your life, buy these.
When you go into the range, and 80% of the most experienced guys use a product, it's a good endorsement. My Glock 21 sounds like a loud finger snap with these on inside the firing range. Outdoors is factors quieter. They aren't sound negating models, but they are also far less expensive, and don't need batteries. Dependability is a priority. Safety and keeping your hearing intact is the TOP priority with Ear Protectors. These should work perfectly.

Peltor 90554 Junior Earmuff, Blue
Customer Review: Great kids hearing protection
I got these for my 2 year old son several months ago. He likes being outside with me when working in the yard, often times with loud equipment. He likes to wear them. They stay in place on his head just fine, and there is plenty of room for growing. He should get several years of use out of them. I do wish they had a little higher noise reduction rating, but they are still very good. I do ocassionaly put ear plugs in before putting on his headset (probably overkill). Having worked around loud equipment and aircraft for years I know how hearing can be damaged and how well these protect hearing. I am starting early with him!
Customer Review: My toddler loves these!
I bought these so my 22 month old son could watch his dad's band play. I was worried that he would repeatedly take the ear muffs off (much like he does with hats). But instead I have to convince him to take them OFF sometimes! He absolutely loves them and they make a huge difference in terms of noise. My son asks for his "headphones" any time anything is remotely loud!
