Thread: best budget electronic earmuffs

The only thing I can say is how often will she be using them and can you get replacement ear pads and foam wind blockers? I started with cheap ones, and they either sucked or died young. Just about abandoned the idea but got a second hand set of Peltor's cheap - revelation. Way better in every respect, night and day. They were an early pair of tacticals that had independent on/off and volume on each earcup - I soon replaced them with a pair of sporttacs which are very good but not enough noise suppression for the range or muzzle braked firearms. I doubt you will have that issue for the Mrs though?

The benefit of the Peltors and equivalent brands is that you can get the parts to freshen them up from a variety of sources, if you use them frequently you'll probably find the earcups give up once a year or so.

She only shoots at the range once a month. If she uses the cheap ones often enough to wear them out, then next Xmas can be some nice peltors. I’m gonna order some $50 ones from AliExpress for now
