Hearing protection,, Which one to buy?

[Street Survival]

Who currently has the best price on the Sordins Supreme Pro X. Ted on the Sig Forum isn't getting them anymore what a pitty at $200 they were a steal. Currently I am looking towards CSUK or TCI.
Thanks for direction guys.

Just got my HL impacts and they seem pretty nice. Just concerned with overall protection and am pretty sure I will have to mate them with some in-ear plugs.

I am anxious to see how long these last.

I have a HL impact, it's pretty ineffective indoor, you definitely need ear plugs to go with that. The best ear protection without the fancy eletronic for cheap that I own is the Bilsom Thunder T3 30 NRR.

I use a pair of ComTac II's, with the gel ear seals, and wear a pair of SureFire EP3's underneath, they work indoors or out, pistols or rifles. The gel seals make a HUGE difference in comfort for extended periods. My only complaint is the battery life. These things seem to really eat the batteries.

I also got a pair of the Howard Leight Tactical's for my son. He loves the fact he can plug his gameboy into them, when he gets bored at the local matches. I tried them out once, before I let him use them, and was really impressed with the performance, for the price.

After over a year and a half of use, my HL Impact Sport models have finally given me their first problem. The right ear is cutting in and out a lot, to the point where it's unusable. Anyone dealt with HL and fixing something? They definitely don't make it easy to get any kind of warranty info on their site.

Not me, but the good thing about the HL Impact Sports are that they're very inexpensive to replace. I have nothing bad to say about them. For the cost, they're great headsets. No problems using with a lot of indoor use without adding earplugs.

I have had a set of the Peltor Comtac for several years now and I have never had a single problem with them. In fact I am still on the original batteries because I don't always use them in the 'on' position. The recess in the right earpiece clears all shouldered weapons (for right-handed shooters).

Thought I should pass this info along.

I just got a set of Howard Leight Impact Sports for $40.35 shipped! They have them at Cheaper than Dirt right now. Use code 1037-9508 at the check-out. I am not sure how long that code is good for.

Code works fine - ordered a set just like you did and I'm looking forward to seeing these before next week.

I've managed to keep my hearing for the last 25+ years around turbine aircraft engines and shooting.
Now I'm ready for my first pair of these electronic muffs, and I have a question.
Has anyone found they need more than the NNR:18 of the MSA/Sordin Supreme Pro-X? I know they can be supplemented with foam plugs.
How about the MSA/Sordin Supreme Pro 3+, from TCI, with a NNR:26?
Should be more of the same type of protection, right? What, if any, are the drawbacks? Looks like they're within about $30 of each other.
