I am looking at getting a set of electronic ear plugs and Peltor appears to have a large number of similar, but differently priced ones including:
TEP-100
TEP-200
LEP-200
However, I am having difficulty differentiating among them, except by price and can't find any head to head reviews. Has anybody got experience with the different models?
I've a pair of TEP-100. I would not recommend them. They are inferior in both noise suppression and sound transmission to my Sordin muffs and custom molded electronic plugs, although this could be expected. What's worse is that I had to send them back for repairs twice in one year. Would not buy again.

Taggin in.
I have several pairs of electronic ear muffs, but have considered the electronic plugs for hunting... perhaps even for doubling up under the other headphones.

Forgot to mention: I use walker razor . They seem OK and work well when shooting .308 caliber bolt action rifles with muzzle brakes. The only downside is the cable can get snagged when getting a cheek weld, pulling the ear piece out.
Can you provide link/source for the custom molded electronic plugs you use.Originally Posted by YVK
I like the TEP-100s for pistol use only. Might be alright for precision rifle if you're not on the line with a bunch of other shooters. Carbine class is a no-go.

I have some TEP-100s also and like them quite a bit for outdoor pistol shooting or shooting my silenced SBR, especially in the Texas heat. I prefer the "skull-screw" foam attachment and the performance definitely seems on par with my Sordins.
For indoor or unsuppressed rifle I prefer to double up so the Sordins get the nod there.

One of their guys is a shooter who comes to matches, with an occasional discount. I had my plugs molded at a lunch break during state match, talk about service... Expensive but work well.

I have only used them for pistol matches, but have used my TEP-100 protectors for three years with zero issues. I use the "skull screw" inserts for best results.
I have a set of the tep-200 on the way. Paid the extra for the updated design to help with wind noise. Read great reviews on the skull screws, but I'm trying the ones that are included first. Hopefully a range session on Sunday...
