I know there are a few that have had bad experiences with botach, but out of the few transactions I've had with them they were always 100%.

I purchased these when they ran this special for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Shipping was fast. I wore these for the first time today and they were way better than my Peltors.
Shipping was free.
Don't order anything else with the MSA order, avoid large orders, and you'll have better success with Botach.
I might have to pick a set up
I've ordered a shit ton of Glock magazines from botach back when they were $12 a piece and never had trouble.
that's a killer deal
are these ones warrantied?
Got my shipping notice yesterday.

I expect that they should be, stated warranty in the ad. If I have a problem, I will just contact my CC company & file a claim that they provide for paying with the CC
I just ordered a set. I hope everything is legit. That is a good price given that they include the gel ear cups.
Thanks for the heads-up. Just ordered some.
I have my fingers crossed. On both hands.
I ordered one as well. I've been wanting to get one of these, but I have been buying other gear that are higher on my "needs" list. But with this sale, I decided to just go for it.
I placed the order yesterday morning and received a shipment notification about 90 mins later. I was hesitant to order from BoTach given their spotty CS track record, but this is a good start.
Great deal. I've also received a shipping notification - looking good.

Are these any good. I am looking into getting some electronic muffs for when I start taking classes but have absolutely no idea on what is good still in the research phase.
Some people have complained that the supreme pro's didn't reduce db enough (-18 I think). Others have reported great noise reduction.
I have 2 pairs of Supreme Pros that are 4 and 5 years old. They have been excellent. No problems at all.

I shot with some Surefire EP3s in addition to the Supreme Pros and it worked great.
This was under a covered range/bench area and you know how much sound is amplified under the metallic awnings.
Pretty good price, I might have to order a set.
As long as you email Botach to make sure what you want is in stock there usually aren't any problems.
I wanted to jump on this but it seems like a lot of cash for only 18 NRR. My earplugs give me 29 NRR and even the Surefire EP are better than 18 NRR. What else do these give you that ear plugs cannot?? Does anyone use these for indoor shooting ranges??
Great price on a nice set of muffs. Might grab a pair tomorrow after I check Grey Groups pricing first.

This seems like a awesome deal but with Howard Light ear pro at $45 I can't bring myself to do it.
Comparing powered hearing protection to earplugs is apples to oranges. Personally, I bought a pair, because I was looking for something more comfortable than my Radians Pro Am. They are definitely comfortable, and I use them in the indoor range with no issues.
Another reason I bought MSA was because they are supposed to keep the noise level instead of completely cutting it off, like the cheaper headsets. I hoped it would make it easier to hear the instructor. Unfortunately, it doesn't work quiet that way, and I still have difficulty hearing instructors if people are shooting in the nearby bays.
Personally, I bought them because I wanted to try "serious" hearing protection. Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed with what I got, but I still like them, and thinking about getting a spare neckband thanks to this deal.
Another benefit with MSA vs Radians: MSA uses only 2 AAA batteries and has longer battery life. Radians use 6. Granted it's trivial given the prices differences, but you are paying for electronics as well.

Sordin are my favorite hearing protection.

The price is really nice but I think for now, I am going to stick with my yellow moldable plugs and on occaision my Surefire plugs (EP3s) which provide 24NRR, when I need to hear on the range without taking the plugs out.
Some are missing the point...If you train on a live fire range electronic hearing protection is a must. If you're a bench shooter than I understand not seeing the justification and arguing the decibel reduction.
These are not the same thing....... Running and gunning and communicating while shooting and moving is what these excel at.
Received my black neckband today. Came in a fairly small white box with the gel pad cushions pre-installed. It did not include the stock ear pad cushions though.
Everything works fine and I'm a happy customer.
-Dan.
Mine came in today:
Installed the batteries & I can't wait to use them.

Do you think these are from this year or last year? I was looking at TCI muffs which are based on the Pro X, and they discontinued them because they didnt like the changes MSA was making. Check it out here:
"PLEASE NOTE: Despite our protest, MSA Sordin AB has elected to make drastic internal and operational changes to all Pro-X hearing protectors. We have conducted extensive evaluation of the upcoming version of the Pro-X series and have determined it did not meet the performance standards we think you, the customer, deserves. As a result, TCI will be discontinuing the DEHP Pro-X as it will not be built to our performance standards.
Once the current inventory of our DEHP Pro-X is depleted, this product will be discontinued. We are very sorry about this unfortunate situation, but it is simply the result of a vendor not providing TCI with a product that we feel you deserve. We have found the hearing protection system performance to be inferior to our current model and the reduction from 600 hours of battery life to only 200 hours to be unacceptable. These changes will affect ALL Pro-X hearing protectors no matter whether they come from MSA or other vendor.
TCI DEHP PRO-X DIGITAL ELECTRONIC HEARING PROTECTION: BUY A PAIR BEFORE THEY ARE GONE FOREVER!"

I've wanted a pair of Pro-X's for a while, but that kind of hurts the deal since theyre supposed to be top of the line.
Mine came as band aide described. No MSA markings on the cups, no big deal.
foreign .mil contract over runs I believe so they should be g2G
