    What?

    No pictures or links. Are you looking at a particular set or just in general?

    I use them, 4 pairs here, and they will cut the noise down as stated. Very handy for stalking out int the fields as I don't feel them in use.

    Gone back to using the disposable foam ones at teh range as they are just as handy, kill the noise, and can't loose the surefire ones.

    I find I can't use the ear muffs as they always seem to hit the rifle stock and lift up even though they are slim.

    ya but well worth it, have mine a few years now, just one as I am 80-90% deaf in one ear:(, about 300euro but no sweaty ears, volume control, instant response on sound of shot, yet can hear all conversations noises etc, these look similar celtic hearing in newbridge

    OSOK,
    A drummer friend of mine recommended these as he needs to be able to hear the music but does not want to go deaf. I use and like them. Sure beats electronics when it is pouring rain or cold enough to want a wool hat.

    Whats rain got to do with in ear electronics and cold:confused:. plus those ear defenders are for noise reduction ie music/industrial noise etc, will not protect your ears from the sharp crack of Rifle/shotgun, false economy horses for courses
