Pro For Sho 34dB NRR Hearing Protection Ear Muffs – Highest NRR Compact Design Ear Protection for Loud Events & Sensory Use

I've used this product for 10 months as of December 2025 for indoor range firearm practice. Use then approximately 6-7 times a month for a total of about 1000 rounds a month (9mm). I use them in conjunction with the throw-away polyurethane foam ear plugs. I have found them to very effective, light weight, reasonably comfortable and very fairly priced. Some complaints I've seen is that, since they are indeed foldable (collapsible), getting them on your head is sometimes a bit of a challenge after taking them out of your range bag! I admit that sometimes you have to manipulate them a bit but I do not see that as a big issue. They do the job of safely reducing the noise level and as far as I'm concerned that is what I really care about. I have held numerous conversations with other shooters and RSO personnel and have little to no trouble hearing or understanding them. I have not tried them with a rifle but I will hazard a guess and say that they will likely not interfere with your handling of that weapon (only a guess). I recommend them.

These earmuffs exceeded my expectations. The hearing protection is excellent.-they black out loud machinery, yard equipment, and constant background noise without making them feel bulky or overly tight. They’re very lightweight, I forget that I have them on. They’re very comfortable! They fit securely without causing pressure on the ears. These are a great choice, comfortable, and well-made definitely worth it!

I have been doing a lot of woodwork lately with a buddy, a couple of projects around the house. I had a couple of my fiance's earplugs she uses when her dad stays with us (he saws more logs in his sleep than I could do in a lifetime awake), but some of the tools were getting through the ear plugs so I decided to hunt for a solution. When I had shop classes we were always given earplugs in the shop so I sought the best noise-dampening earplugs I could find. I turned to Flents Quiet Time ear plugs (Amazon Item B07HHXGPW6). They were effective when inserted properly, but unfortunately they often worked their way out of proper insertion and were therefore far less effective. But they were $15 bucks for 70 pairs, so I figured I could keep them for my buddies when they work on stuff with me, but I knew these earplugs weren't the everyday option I was looking for. I had seen other options when searching, so I took to the web again. I pulled up other earplugs on Amazon, and the suggested links had earmuffs. I remember seeing them on children at concerts, so I clicked on a couple. (Good enough for developing ears, good enough for mine, right?) All the noise ratings were higher than industrial earplugs and the price was still in that $10-$20 range. I bought a couple of them to test by Pro For Sho (Amazon Item B017RZ45F6) and ClearArmor (Amazon Item B00NKSMPZW). The Pro For Sho is a good set. They're sleek-looking and they fold relatively compact when not in use. I think they muff noise better than the Flents earplugs even when the earplugs are properly inserted. However, I felt that they were tight. They aren't bad for a few minutes at a time, but I did feel the pressure with sustained use. My buddy tried them for a day and said he didn't have that problem, so maybe I just have sensitive temples? For the record, my cap size is S/M and his is M/L. The ClearArmor is a GREAT set. They aren't as low-profile as the Pro For Sho, but frankly no ear muff is going to be invisible; it's not about looking cool, it's about being safe, right? Plus they also fold on the same mechanism that the Pro For Sho does, so they also fit in storage easily. They muffed sound about the same as the Pro For Show, but I could almost forget they were on. The ear pad is soft and comfortable, the headband didn't feel too tight at all, and I could and did wear them all day in the shop. I was going to return the Pro For Sho in favor of the ClearArmor, but my buddy said he would take them. So in the end I guess they were both good buys, just not for me. The earplugs weren't a bad buy--they'll get used--but I won't buy them again. PS if you want all kinds of ear protection, pair the earplugs with the muffs. The internet says it adds something like +5 NRR to the one with the highest rating. I don't know numbers like that, but I did give it a try with the earplugs inserted poorly and the earmuffs on and it was super effective. If I had some comfortable earplugs that stayed in, it would be easy to see myself using both when working on the loudest-of-loud tools in the shop. Ultimately: Flents Quiet Time (Amazon Item B07HHXGPW6): 3 stars. Effective but iconsistent. Pro For Sho (Amazon Item B017RZ45F6): 4 stars. Effective but uncomfortable. ClearArmor (Amazon Item B00NKSMPZW): 5 stars. Effective and comfortable.

Noise cancellation is great. Not too bulky, good size for average-sized person.

Purchased 2 pair - one for me and one for my husband. They are lightweight, comfortable and effective at blocking noise from lawnmowers, blowers and trimmers. Very happy with my purchase

Very comfortable. Wear them with hearing aids and glasses. Fit well over them and blocks out a lot of noise.

Noise reduction is great! Could tell people were talking but could not pick up words. But as others have mentioned, they run small in the fit around the ears. That is a big enough negative to drop the rating to three stars.

Perfect for our 4-year old to wear during her first concert!! Love them. They were comfortable and cancelled a lot of the loudness for her sensitive ears. Would recommend!!

I bought these for shooting, why? for the 34 D B protection. I also bought a cheaper pair as a spare, different make and half the cost £16.95. The only difference between the two, a second layer of thin sponge, cost around 2 pence a side. These say on the net for shooting..... when mine arrived on the back of the box it states may not be an accurate indicator of protection against noise such as gunfire...believe me there is no difference between these and the cheaper ones I bought with 22 D B for shooting. This is not a good product if you want to protect your hearing while shooting.

Small for my ears

Profil assez fin, parfait pour pouvoir épauler sans problème. La tenue sur la tête est bonne et le casque ne crée pas de pression au niveau des tempes. Une fois plié, le casque est compact et se range facilement. Par contre je l'utilise avec des bouchons internes en complément (utilisation en stand intérieur) et je ne prendrai pas le risque de l'utiliser sans.

Protege bem contra ruídos e é confortável de usar.

The product arrived in time, and it provides some sound insulation, these are the good things, this is why it has two stars. The packaging was in amazon plastic bag and the product's box was damaged during shipping, this is not good practice Amazon! On the other had: The product is not as advertised. The adjustment of the earcups is very difficult, the headband is a sturdy plastic with a non-adjustable length, the earcups angle and position can be adjusted only, it is not comfortable to wear. The earcups are squeezed into the skull to achieve sound insulation, but the result is immediate discomfort and a pain buildup, to wear it for a person with eyeglasses is impossible. Materials: they used cheap brittle plastic, no soft materials which is important for the long term use, is not a child friendly product. The designer created an inferior product keeping in mind gun clubs or industrial applications only. Stay away from this, I don't recommend it to anybody.
