Peltor 6S muffs?

[Bob Sanders]

Anyone have feedback on these? I currently use passive muffs and foam ear plugs. Thanks!

I've had a couple pairs of the 6S and they go bad in about a year with heavy use due to sweat in the electronics.

The Tactical Sport pair I have has been going strong for much longer. They are double the price of the 6S.

Go with Howard Leights from Amazon. I have both and the cutting in and out of the Peltors is annoying as hell, batteries are harder to change and don't last as long. Plus the HLs from Amazon are a little over $40.

I just went to the Howard Leights I really like them. Even use them when mowing because you can plug in an IPod or Pandora on iPhone and get some tunes along with hearing protection

Saw the HL's. May go with them, if there is still money after ammo and match fees. LOL!

Go with the HLs. Just replaced my 6s this year with them. They are definitely worth the investment.

My 6s just went out after a whole 3 matches

I've had my 6s muffs for about 6 years and they're still going strong.

I had 2 pair of 6s go out in less than a month of use

You are not the first I have heard say that. IMO the 6s started out as a great product but the quality has just slipped in recent years. Mine stopped working right after one match and I have had then about 3 years.

Look into custom molded hearing protection.

Check out Hear-Pro. They are a forum sponsor that offers a great product. The PRO39s are great passive hearing protection for the money.
