Does it enhance your hearing beyond normal as well a block loud sounds to protect hearing or just provide safety for hunters and gunshots?

It really does increase my hearing when it's turned up high. I don't have good hearing anymore, and back when I was still able to hunt for wild game I wore them as I wouldn't trade the hearing I have left for all the deer in the forest. I recommend them very much. They are not water PROOF, but I've been in a mist under a tree and didn't have any trouble. Served me well. I keep them by my bed so in case I must shoot a bad guy in the house at night my hearing won't be further harmed. Hope I've been helpful. Good luck. Respectfully,

While protecting from loud noise, it allows you to hear everything else that you would normally hear - maybe better because it somehow blocks distracting noise. It's amazing. It was a gift to my son who is utterly delighted with it.

Definitely enhances hearing beyond normal. I use them on the range and they definitely increases voices such as range commands. They definitely block loud sounds as well. The best part is their size - they cover the whole ear.

They do have a volume control that can be turned up but they are designed more for hearing protection. They react very quickly to protect your hearing when a gunshot is fired.

It'll block a good amount of street noise, like cars, people talking, stuff like that. They aren't sealing up your ears as well as a proper earmuff, but you'll have to take them out if you have music on and someone asks you a question. I hope that helps a bit.

They are much more comfortable than wearing either "on" the ear or "over" the ear head phones for long periods. They do not block extraneous sounds from being heard. This is either good or bad depending on the conditions. Good if you re walking and want to be aware of walkers or runners coming up behind you but not so good if you want to block out conversations of fellow workers in open areas.

There are three different protection levels.When I am rıding motorcycle I am usıng high protection level.İt's blocking too much external sounds.

Yes. The noise reduction is very good. You can drown out the outside without having to shatter your eardrums.

Yes, it reduces all sounds, but you'll still hear 'em. It's a decibel drop, not a total sound blocker. It's just foam rubber in the right place (your ear). You WILL be able to hear people talk (unless, like the movies, they whisper for effect!).

I use mine for indoor shooting range and they protect my hearing extremely well. I would rate them 5 stars.

Nope - They are designed to cut out noise at higher levels. Solid earplugs are best to cut out noise from birds, footsteps, keyboards (even loud breathing). With these earmuffs you will likely still hear these "quiet sounds". Now if you are around leaf blowers, lawn tractors, heavy machinery, .50 caliber guns, or the like you will be happy with the comfort level that these muffs provide!

It blocks a fair amount, yes...more than my earbuds did. But I have never had a "noise-cancelling" headset, so I don't know how it would compare.

yes they should. they do not block sound, they reduce it to safe levels. It should,because it work as good as any regular ear muffs.

When I first used it I found I had to turn the volume down as I could hear everything including the movement of my clothing. However, mine did block the loud close shots. Hopefully you are only hearing shots further down the firing line. If you turned down the volume and are still not getting your shots muffled then you have a problem with your unit.

The set kind of mixes the music and the environmental noises (which is the reason for safety---you're aware of around you), with the obvious downside of lower isolation. If you turn up the volume too much, you'll feel the movement of the headphones on your temples and it can be disorienting, so I don't suggest it.

I'm using this at the shooting range. It does block out "GUN BOOM", not sure about boom cars though.

It blocks out sound quite well. I have it nailed to my window and I hardly hear anything save the soft wailing of the siren of a fire engine or ambulance.

We never tested its efficiency with firearms, but did with thunders. All in all, It is protective. But, if the dog is too much sensitive to noise (like ours), it is not enough.

I would think that normal ear defenders or mufflers would be better,these will dampen sound but are designed to shut of the amplified sound when a gun is fired for a fraction of a second then will go back to normal.I use these for shooting trap.

It doesn't block out all sound, but it does block out most of it. I think it's because of the padding, not any kind of advanced technology.
