Hearing protection,, Which one to buy?

[OldState]

I bought Comp IIIs from Botach a couple years ago and there was no issue. I like them and they sound very clear.

I had started with Howard Leights as my first pair of electronic ear muffs and I would highly recommend one of the aftermarket gel cups for them. I really do not feel they make a tight seal with the stock pads. It’s often not something you notice as you are wearing them until you make a small adjustment...then realize things just got a bit quieter.

I probably shoot 1/4 as much as many here but I still developed mild tinnitus in a very short time....exactly after I started wearing the HLs. Do not goof around with your hearing. Definitely double up with plugs as many recommend ...especially indoors or if you are at a static range under a roof (but probably anywhere). I think those to situations...especially shooting pistols indoors is what did it for me.
