DecibullzPercussive Moldable Earplugs for Hunting & Shooting, Gun Range Hearing Protection for Shooters, Reusable Ear Plugs for Shooting Range

If you carefully read the directions you will get a comfortable fitting custom ear protection at a reasonable price. If you find a need to adjust after first fit you can redo and correct the issue. I find this works well when shooting sporting clays and I'm free of the ear muffs that chronically hit my stock when I mount shotgun to shoot. Recommended.

I bought a set of these thinking that it would be a great non-electronic way to protectmy hearing while still being able to hear and understand people talking at the range. I was disappointed.These were not easy to fit. I had to re-mold these things at least six times to get them to fit properly. I'm a big guy with very large ears, and I dont think there's enough of the moldable plastic for it to work properly. In addition, the solid plastic core that connects the sound filter to the foam or silicone insert is too short. After heating the thermoplastic, I pushed the largest silicone plug deep into my ear canal so that it would seal properly. The plastic just flowed around the top of the temporary filter several times. After some practice, I was able to get the molded part to allow me to remove the temporary filter and replace it with the actual sound filter, but the molded part didn't really fill the bowl of my ear, so there wasn't much to hold onto. I called the company and they were not helpful. They insisted I was doing it wrong. They offered a refund, and I should have taken them up on it, but I was determined to make it work.It turns out that you have to use the foam plugs and not the silicone for shooting or else the noise reduction isn't good. When actually using them, the first challenge is to get them in properly. I need to mark left and right because the oddly shaped monstrosities that resulted from my best efforts to get a good fit are difficult to figure out how to fit. I have used these at least a half dozen times, and I still have trouble getting them in, but after some fiddling I manage.With the foam inserts they block sound pretty well, and are reasonably comfortable. However, I can say they are similar in comfort and protection to cheap earplugs that Amazon sells for 6 bucks a dozen.While they block the gunshots, I can't understand what people say to me when talking, so I have to take them out. This is as difficult as putting them in; if I pull the string, the filter pops out, leaving the earplugs in. I have to really grab and claw at the molded part to get it out. Remember, it's very deep in my ear, so that's not easy. When were done talking, I can't get them in before people start shooting, so I still hurt my ears.I keep a bag of the .50 cheapies in my range bag, and I've gone back to using those, as they protect every bit as well as these fancy things, but I can just pop one out when someone needs to talk, and I can get it back in quickly.I regret buying these, as they were not cheap, and they don't work as advertised.

My hearing is very important to me and I cannot wear the over hear protection I like to wear when shooting pistol/ rifle when I am shooting clays with a shotgun as they interfere with my cheek weld. I've tried hundreds of dollars worth of passive electronic ear pro, and they're great, but they always start buzzing, humming, or the batteries go bad. I was very skeptical about these, but a coworker recommended them. I am happy to report these work great for my needs. They do not offer the amplification passive electronic ear pro does, but they do offer a higher lever of protection, and I can still hear my buddies talk without them having to talk louder. I do not hunt, and I've only shot these with sporting clays, but they worked perfect, and they were comfortable. I wore them for a good 3 hours on my first use, and had no soreness or pain. My biggest complaint is they're difficult to take out. All the same I know they will not fall out. Using two hands makes removal significantly easier. I wish I had found these sooner.

Let me start by saying these do work to a point. I use them at the gun range. The molding process was easy if you follow instructions to the letter. They do filter out most loud sounds. They can be easily overpowered by some large caliber guns. Don't expect to carry on a perfect conversation with these in as they do muffle voices extremely well. I really cant tell much difference in these and quality ear plugs. I wear them because I paid for them I wouldn't buy again I think its too much money vs regular plugs. They do hurt your ears after a couple of hours but just pull them out and you notice how good it really feels to not have them in. Way overpriced for what they do. I understand why they cost because you can mold them to your ear. But, I can push in a less expensive correctly sized earplug and it works just as good.

I have had a tough time getting these to mold correctly. You can remold them and try to fit them again, but they seem to gap a bit.
