Hunting? Pistol Range? Rifle Range? Work site?

Try before you buy for fit as everyone has a different shaped head. Try with glasses.

I find electronic earmuffs on the rifle range can be too good, they cut on the noise of each shot, but you can also hear all the gossip from the chatterboxes behind the mound.
