Re: Hearing Protection?

Not that I use them hardly at all, but....
I really like the "Sonic" shooting ear plugs
They cut by 9 db's I believe, and the have a "Sonic 2"
that is 15 or 25db's
What's cool about them is the diaphram design.
It's open while it's quiet, and you can hear almost normally.
But when the db's and sound pressure levels go up, the diaphram
closes.
They are good for talking with them in, for hearing the full
range of music through. I've noticed alot of ear plugs block the
mids and highs. But these sound really clear, just reduce the levels,
without making the sound muddy or bottom heavy.

probably pick them up at any sportinggoods dept. that has guns.
