awesafeElectronic Ear Defenders for Adults Hearing Protection Noise Cancelling Headphones - Safety Earmuffs Ear Protectors with Hard Storage Case

Having used in ear plugs for more years than I care to remember, I decided that I would take the plunge and invest in some over ear noise cancelling ear defenders. These do the job just fine and for a fraction of the cost of buying the Honeywell or 3M equivalents. Quality looks good and the case protects them when not in use. Comfort is good as is sound quality. We will see how they fair after 6 months

As a shooting instructor, hearing protection and the ability to communicate with trainees are equally important. These electronics ear defenders accomplish both equally well, are comfortable to wear and were a great price. All in all very pleased with the product, and does a great job.

Just had Shotgun Training, They worked Fantastic, I could hear the trainer clearly & they reduced the sound of the shotgun going off to a comfortable level

I've had these Awesafe electronic ear protection earmuffs for well over eight months now. I've used them on every outing to the gun range for use with a rimfire rifle (.22LR - about 2 times a month), and used it a couple of times with a centerfire rifle (.308WIN).It does the job... at a good price point. I bought the black version that came with the case, which fits well in my range bag with extra batteries (came with a battery case included for extra batteries) and other bits and pieces for the ear protection. Nice case.Fit, build and finish are all the same as a Howard Leight, just a bit thicker than the latter. No issues with the ear protection with the cheek rest of my rifle buttstock, or any other rifle buttstock I've tried it with.Noise cancellation is on par with the Howard Leight and the Walker's Razor (good but not as good as 3M Peltor, but then these cost much more), as is the noise volume level when listening directly to voices or other sounds with the noise cancellation. You do have to listen in the direction of the sound for these to work well, so no 360 degree listening.It has a clicking sound on the on-off knob that is also the volume control, which the Howard Leight does not have as a feature. You know for sure that you turned it off when you hear the clicking sound.The aftermarket comfort gel ear pieces for Howard Leight should fit Awesafe electronic ear protection, should you wish added comfort. The standard factory ones are fine and comfortable.So far, so good...I recommend it as a really good budget electronic ear protection alternative to both Howard Leight and the Walker's Razor. Plus, it comes with a carry case and an extra battery case.I do wish they were thinner and a bit lighter, and I wish that the noise cancellation was better (like the 3M Peltor). I also wish that they had cool add-ons like the Walker's Razor (i.e. two-way radio clip-on). In any case... they are good value for money. A good solid four out of five stars.I'll up date this review as time goes by with use.*** Almost 2 Year Update (19 May 2024) ***I've had these electronic ear defenders now for almost two years with heavy usage at the range and shooting competitions.They have held up so far with few issues, if any really beyond one.I have to keep the ear defenders away from the mobile phone/device I use with my shooting ballistic application as the mobile signal generates noise interference with the ear defenders. I've had to resort to using a mobile phone/device without the SIM and rely solely on data from a shooting weather meter via Bluetooth to feed the ballistic application instead of 4G/5G mobile data connection (due to the noise interference).After a year and a half of usage, the ear defenders have started to eat through batteries. I find that I have to change out the batteries every two or so weeks, as the batteries are being drained by the ear defenders even when not in use. This is probably my biggest issue I have with the ear defenders with long term use. I may have to switch to rechargeable batteries to deal with this issue rather than buying batteries in bulk. It's hungry for batteries!I still wished the design was thinner, like the Howard Leight Impact ear defenders... as these are a little bulky and require adjustments often when trying to get a good position purchase on the adjustable cheek risers of my rifles. It's not a big issue, but rather an annoyance.Almost two years later and these electronic ear defenders are a good value for the money... and a long term 3-1/2 (three and a half) stars, down from 4 (four) stars due to hunger for batteries. Seriously, it eats batteries often even when not in use. I may need to purchase a pair soon. Stay turned for a further update in time.

I bought these for my wife, who has just taken up shooting, I've had a pair for several years and they work just fine, they are comfortable to wear, copes well with the knocks and bumps and has good battery life

Brilliant for shooting

Excellent ear defenders for its price.

Everything I expected. When mic was switched on, voices were very clear and loud sounds dampened. Love the fact that it came with a case!
