Thread: Electronic ear muffs with a brimmed hat

  1. #1

    Electronic ear muffs with a brimmed hat

    Looking for a recommendation for a set of electronic ear muffs that will work with a hat that has a brim all the way around. Like a bush hat.

    In to see if there's any new options. I'd like to finds something that would fit that bill (pun intended) myself.

    Thought you were looking for hat recommendations, not muff recommendations.

    I have a set of Peltors with a back band for this very reason. They've lasted quite a while

    I bought a set of Peltors for this precise purpose, but I have been underwhelmed with them. For just shooting, I guess they are fine, but I don't like using them when teaching as my voice sounds strangely muffled.

    The electronics are also funky. One side works better than the other.
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Howard leight doesn't make an electronic version with behind the neck feature or I would have just bought them.

    I ran into the same problem with my Peltors. I do wish Howard Leight would make a set with electronics.

    Sordin does, though it's quite expensive. https://srstactical.com/msa-sordin-s...-neckband.html

    For years now I have to wear a wide brim to avoid sun exposure. None of the behind the neck versions ever made me happy and seemed to slip out of place a lot. I tried Walker game ear (target ear) and the things worked but never lasted more than 18 months and went kaput. I got these a year ago and have been very pleased so far...expensive, but solved the problem for me. I drop the cord down the back of my shirt and clip the unit on my belt for range use. I am hoping they will hold up for a few years.
