If was needing some muffs, I'd get these. For $50, I still might.

Those are the ones I settled on, and I and very happy with them. Unlike a lot of other ones out there, they have a low profile on my head and do not interfere with my cheek weld.
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.
It surely beats trying to figure out what the metrosexuals want ( a good hard kick in the nuts in my opinion, but that won't sell ice cream :D )- Highspeed

I have both those Howard Leight muffs and a pair of ($$$) MSA Sordin ones. Last week, I had the opportunity to test both side-by-side at the indoor clay-pigeon range (which is tough for electronic muffs, because of the echo). The expensive Swedes worked fine (as I would expect for the money), and so did the HL ones- they're excellent value for money! They have a nice slim fit, which doesn't interfere with the gunstock, and they are comfortable to wear. The fitting of the battery compartment is a bit nasty - I wouldn't want to be relying on them in rain, as I think the electronics would get wet.
