Right now I just use those little, squishy ear plugs. Let's see what everyone else uses to protect themselves.

howard leight impact sport electronic muffs are my current favorites had them about 5 months now ,still on same batteries and they work better than some of the others ive tried.they are thinner than any ive seen so they dont get in the way when doing rifle work.im sure there are better out there but for the money i think these are pretty good.think around 50 bucks.

Foam ear plugs and electronic muffs for rifle and handgun, foamies for shotguns.

I use SUREFIRE EP3 Sonic Defenders...

EP3 Sonic Defenders protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their double-flange stem design fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates the patented Hocks Noise BrakerĀ® filter. EP3s include attached stopper plugs, which can be inserted for further protection, and they also block out lower-level noise like that heard on a plane. They can be used in situations where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical.

The right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer and are ergonomically shaped, with an adjustable-stem design, providing a secure fit, all-day comfort, and extended product life (3 to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). And their low-profile design means they can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case. Available in clear or black.

I was thinking about getting a set of those, right now I use radians but wanted to try something different. How do you like them?

Work great for me DT...!! I really haven't use those clunky ear muff things for at least a decade.
