Look at my review. Honset and accurate. Even if they sort of worked which they don't; the price is a ripoff and who ever is making these is clearly try to get quick buck!

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

Turn them off and see if they muffle the sound. If the muffs are not fitted properly to your head, it will not suppress the gun reports. Mine work fine (like everyone else's).

Yes, but it depends on the nature and severity of your loss. They have very good fidelity and the ear muffs screen out most external background noise. There are no "tone" controls however, so you get a full spectrum amplification. I have a mid-range (cookie-bight) hearing loss and there were still times when I could not understand all the dialogue, but over all, they helped a great deal.

I wear them in noisy bars/music venues, on planes, and sometimes car/bus. They are great at blocking out noise, esp at night. However if you are a dog-mom like me, you may still be able to hear your pup whining if he needs to go out. :)

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

Why not try firearm suppression ear muffs. Some models are much cheaper and should do the trick, some are fairly large although comfortable. Alternatively use the in-the-ear foam ear plugs. Search Amazon for "Smith and Wesson ear muffs" or "noise reducing ear plugs".

I think they work pretty well. I wear them at work to. And I work around machines. They don't completely block it out but enough to where it's not a big deal. If your syncing them with your phone, after your phone volume is maxed they have the own volume as well to go on top of your phones. So they get pretty loud. Not completely noise canceling but as long as your not somewhere crazy loud they'll block out the noise.

I really like the monster rounds , they sound great. Not to loud not to quite, The problem i had was with the Vance and Hines Dresser Duels header pipe . The cross under pipe which goes to the left side is about 1 inch to short where the muffler slips on. Contacted Vance and Hines tech support and got the run around , they did not want that the header pipe was to short going under the bike. but the mufflers are awesome . I would try a different header pipe next time. Do not know if baffles are changeable or not, they sound pretty good out of the box.

I've purchased the lower priced ear protection enough times over the last twelve years that I could have purchased the higher priced MSA a couple times over. I have only had them on the range a handful of times but I am completely satisfied with the way they compress the noise level rather than mute.

I've turned off the power to the Ear Muffs and you can't hear much. I guess they are about the same as a non-powered ear muff. But with the power on and set, they work great. you hear everyone around you, but when there is a gun bang, it shuts most of it out. I don't know how they do it, but it works great!

I can't compare the QC20 with the passive earmuffs you mentioned. I can say though that the QC20 does reduce the amplitude of voices but maybe not as much as you may want. I do use them in my office while listening to soft music. People have to shake me to get my attention. You can try them risk free for 30 (90?) days.

In the state (Washington) I am in with the silencer on I am having no problems with the cops. My old muffler was way to loud and I kept getting pulled over and told I had to make it quieter. I would not recommend taking the silencer out of the n1 though as it did seem to be loud without it.

I'm sure these would work for that particular purpose. However, you could probably achieve the same (if not better) results with some simple ear plugs. I use these when shooting as a second form of protection (I also use plugs). I say that to let you know I've never used just the earmuffs by themselves. In that regard, I'm a bit hesitant to say emphatically that these would work well for your proposed purpose.

This will help reduce the sound further especially if you plan to use it in conjunction with earplugs. I use custom molded earplugs plus these muffs. It reduces the amount of sound significantly. I used to only wear the plugs but now I use both. Protect your hearing with these (and plugs)....you'll appreciate it in the long run.

I have only used them when flying but I agree that it might be uncomfortable using them with ear muffs.
