As usual, 3M products continue to be far superior to competitors' products, in my experience! This will be my second pair of the Generation 4 plugs. The plugs are very comfortable and the valves are very easy to use, and unlike many other products you do not have to fiddle with putting a plug back into a hole when busy with other activities. They are long-lived, and provide excellent protection from extreme decibel levels (even when you mess up and forget to shut the valve)! Highly recommended!

I have used these ear plugs for 10+ years... I love them as they are easy to carry, easy to insert into your ears and provides good sound protection... I am a faithful customer and always have spare ear plugs for friends who forget theirs... and then they are new customers as they like them as well!!!!

Very comfortable, I wear them for 8 hours or more without getting sore. Good fit, make sure you buy the right size. If you don’t know your size, buy several sizes to be sure. I have used these exclusively for many years.

I first bought 2 pair. I use 1 for the range, pistols to rifles, and one for yard work, chain saw, week eater, blower, and lawn mower. They work great for range noise reduction, plus I can hear range commands and conversations. Work just as well with reducing the gas engine noise for the gas powered equipment. In both cases, while reducing the desired noise, I can still hear well enough to remain aware of my surroundings. I was so impressed, I bought 2 more pair to have in reserve in case I lose a pair. Great quality!

The noise canceled is not nearly as good as stated for the price paid. I feel that the foam inserts are a better deal by far and can be adjusted simply by pulling them out a small amount if need be. In my honest opinion the price is much too high. I will not be telling others in my group to get them.

This model earplug is the best I've ever used and I've basically tried them all. I keep a pair in every gun case I own so I won't accidentally forget them. The only reason I ever repave them is sometimes the cord accidentally pulls out. If they could fix that problem or if it were possible to put the cord back in, they would be absolutely perfect.

These works as described. I bought them to waterfowl hunt with but did not end up using them. So I took them to a qualification and shot prone next to another shooter also shooting an AR. The plug were used with the valve open and the noise reduction was adequate to prevent discomfort. Without these plugs the noise would have been very unpleasant.

These are my new go-to ear plugs for when I go to shoot sporting clays. I can hear passably at conversational levels and they have excellent attenuation of sharp/load noises, blocking out the shotgun blasts extremely well. They stay in my ears much better than the Surefire Ep7s that I was using prior to finding these. The shipping from EarPlugSuperstore was very quick. I would not hesitate to order from heqr again.

Pro: They work well. Tips are replaceable. Con:The sizing is a bit odd, as others have said. For me, the medium is far to small, and the large far too large. Replacement tips fixed that. Con: I cannot adjust the flip thing while in place, but that's a minor issue for me.

The toggle venting actually works. Very nice to have strong cords attached. I'm protected from heavy door slams and high pitched squeaks all day. Thank you.

These plugs are great and work well. the only issue I have Is trying to flip them open and closed.

Great item and works great. Sizes run large. I would recommend buying the size smaller than what you would normally wear.

I am sure glad I got small. They are tight and I did not think my ears were that small.

I was issued my first pair for a year in Afghanistan but lost them on a helo landing zone (so much for dummy cords ....). I bought a pair for my reenactment hobby since they blend in for events and are not as obvious as the dayglo sponges most others use ... perfect for use on a gun crew or musketry ... You cannot beat the price. It only takes once to lose your hearing ...

Bought a pair for my son and I to use shooting sporting clays with 12 gauge. Too darn hot in summertime to use my usual electronic earmuffs. Quite pleased with these as an alternative.

I think these earplugs are just great! They're nice and comfortable too.

Work great. I needed the small size.(I believe there are three sizes available). Pistol and casual rifle I use them alone,at the range with big bores and AR rapid fire drills I add electric muffs.

Great product

These worked great in reducing the noise level of pistol and rifle fire but allowed me to communicate with others. Love them!

Just the job Iwore them when game shooting last week. Very pleased with the performance. I would recommend to all

Works as advertised.

They worked well for me, but my wife still uses ear muffs too. At the range we shoot at, it can be 22lr to 50 cal, and she can't stand the loud report of some of the larger caliber rifles, so she wears both. I felt they were fine, and worked well when talking to the range officer. Thanks

I got interested in the pure mechanical solutions to the noise attenuation problem while looking at the electronic muffs. I own the Howard Leight (sold here as Bilsom) Impact Sports and those are actually not too shabby. What I like about these are: 1) Price. Less than $25, nothing else needs to be said. 2) Size. They're plugs, not muffs. If you're ever in a range that's just too loud, just throw on those NRR 33 muffs you had. 3) Comfort. You can change the plugs/flanges, as the actual functionality is in the thing that plugs into it, but the standard things are pleasant to wear. They are size accurate. I usually wear medium sized ear buds and I took these in the "regular" size. Fits like a glove. 4) They actually work! The most important thing here. You can hear your buddy/instructor/RSO speak, although slightly softer due to the 7dB attenuation, but when you fire your gun, it keeps it into very bearable ranges. 5) No electronics. Nothing to fail, nothing to adjust, no batteries to change. I tried this at my friend's range, which is basically a shed he built out of aluminum panels or something. Every shot just rings. Shot 9mm and .45 and yes, you hear the shots, it's not a soft click, but it's very nicely pushed down in level. Very very smooth. Impressive technology and it just sits in your ear (unlike some other solutions that have a strap halfway around the head and are more prone to wiggling out of the ear). No electronics is also great. Occasionally you read about some of the electronic muffs just not cutting it in louder indoor ranges. I think this will stand up fine, looking at circumstances at which I tested them.

in stock,fast shipping,fits all day comfortable at the range with NRR 7 variable noise protection activated I could hear all range commands...even the range master stapling targets at 100 yds but the blast from my neighbors 300 mag was very tolerable would buy again in the event these ever wear out

I have been shooting for 45 yrs and usually use expensive large ear muffs. These plugs work just a well as the muffs but are alot cooler on hot days. They still allow me to hear the range commands but completely block out the firearm discharges.

I'm in law enforcement and have used these twice now for qualifications on handgun and assault rifle (AR-15). These are perfect! can still hear the range master with them in but blast from the firearms are quiet! Thanks Ear Plug Store for offering such great products!

Great set of ear plugs i'm using them for Urban Search and Rescue and they provide great protection to unexpected noise as well as provideing situation awareness and able to hear and talk on the radio

Awesome little plugs simple but yet so effective, these were a gift for a 65 yr old man who works at an inside shooting range so all he hears all day long is the bang of the guns,shotguns etc.. He commented to me that everyone was asking how he could be inside the actual shooting range without no earplugs,( they were referring to the earmuffs) he told them about the Earplugs he had received and that he could hear them talking but a gunshot blast would be muffled, well they were so impressed I am sure they will be ordering some from you guys, thanks for the offer. I will soon be ordering but the custom made ones, since my ear canal is super small. great Job!!!!
