 works great March 3, 2010
Travis Smith
I bought these for a shooting school I attended, and they worked great. The inner part of the earpiece is a little on the flimsy side, so be careful when you're popping them out to swap the batteries. Other than that - they performed fantastically.
 I was deceived. February 7, 2010

I bought this product because it's so popular among shooters in various publications and on youtube. Big mistake. Just because it's popular doesn't it's a "must buy." I don't wanna sound redundant, just read the other disappointing stories.
Bought 2, both died. December 10, 2009

I bought 2 of these ear muffs about a year ago and both are sitting in the trash right now. The speakers hiss, pop and squeal loudly when they detect a sound. If I tap on it, it might stop but the next sound can set it off again. The knobs are prone to turning on when in the range bag and the cups are a little too shallow and bottom out on the ears before sealing.
Poor quality and performance September 8, 2009

I would rate these as disposable IF and a BIG IF they worked even reasonably well.
They did nothing to "SHUT OFF" loud range noise and sound amplification was inferior and distorted.
They barely worked as well as a non electronic muff.
Packaging/ use instructions poorly written. Battery access very difficult and disclaimer stated that the earmuff foam is only good for "6 months"!!!!
A total waste of time and money.
 they fit under ACH September 5, 2009

these muffs fit 100% under ACH - mine is large sizs and it works fine with both types of chin straps. i was unsure of geting this because i was unsure it it would fit so i rolled the dice and won. it fits and works great. dont wory about the batt. replace ment its not hard pop off cup and replade and put back its not hard so many say it is but ? i think they r just scaird to break them. it does take some med force but u will be fine thay are quite strong and were mabe to pop off and back on this way
it takes 2 batt in ea side so if 1 side goes dead no prob. th other side works still . and if u r hard hearing in one ear as i am its even better set off muffs y? because u can have 1 side turn way up and the other at med vol. or the same if u at norm. hearing lv .
pros L and R side batt and vol are independent of eachother
2 AAA batt. ea side = small
FITS under ACH and chin strap - go MIL.
stops noise fast and pickes back up good
cost is good
4.5 star - imp.
con if your hearing is the same in both ears you may not like to ajust
both sides each time
you may feel as u r breaking the muffs when u r replacing the batt. or may
have to take them off again to aline the ear foam . np you will figher it
out its easy not hard
you get what u pay for, so if u want some thing that flys u to the moon try
a rocket - thease are good but no matter what some one always has one better
for a doller more
