Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earpro

Ok I lied. Looks like Botach was out-of-stock.

So I went with mkbar80's recommendation.

Have a pair of Sordin Pro-X's from TCI (their DEHP line).
TCI OEM Digital Hearing Protection by MSA Sordin for TCI

They've been outstanding, and come with the gel hygiene/earseal kit.

They weren't cheap so I look forward to comparing them.

Evan, in doing your comparison, could you keep an extra eye out on what works best with rifles? By works best I mean, those that don't smack the stock when you are mounting the rifle.

Absolutely. That will make a great point of comparison.

I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on this thread, as I am about to hit the market for some electronic earpro myself. Thanks for starting this thread!

I've been following it also. It's another piece of equipment I'm hoping to get sometime this year along with a shot timer. My regular hearing protection is fine most of the time, but I hate taking it off constantly to hear during classes.

This is the very reason. End up using plugs when I shoot long guns. I've noticed that muff rest on the stock and 'break the seal' causing me to end up with and ear ache from the noise in that ear ( the right one which rest on the stock). Looking forward to the review as well

Open to some aftermarket options.

Do you mean the headband cover? Yours didn't come in black as pictured?

Got the od cups....came with woodland. Actually looks worse in person than in a pic....like many a former lady friend. The ear pro is great though and the cover is comfortable and stable....but its still woodland.

There is a guy on LFer that does covers. Look nice but a bit of a wait and far from cheap.
