Work fairly well, but...
on August 4, 2018
Posted by: TactiCarl
from Houston, TX
Have had a pair of these for about a year and used them for shooting sports. They attenuate the loud noises well, but the delay is long... 1-2 seconds. During the shots, the attenuation seems to be about 100% of any amplification, or almost a complete "mute" for those 1-2 seconds. If you're shots are placed close together, it's as if there no amplification of any outside sound, almost as if you're wearing non-electronic/amplified protectors. According to 3M tech support, they are function properly and this is how they are intended to operate.
One excellent thing-- I leave them in my range bag; on several occasions I have failed to turn them off. When donning them, I noticed they've been left on and expect I'll have to replace batteries because they've run down--but they never do. Not sure if this is an "auto-off" feature, but I don't think I've had to replace the batteries but once in the year I've owned them.
Certainly not a bad product, they've been robust and served their purpose, but I've found their function doesn't fully fit my needs as a competitive shooter. I am a little perplexed by this since they are sold as "tactical" I certainly would expect this mode of operation to work well in a real tactical situation. Other brands offer shooters better function at a more competitive price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will be sure to forward your comments. The sound suppression does seem to be working correctly from your description. When the shots noise is picked up by the unit, the suppression kicks in to dampen the noise and protect your hearing. The unit does also have the auto shutoff feature to protect your battery life. If you have any additional feedback or questions, please feel free to reach out to our team at 1-800-494-3552 Mo-Fri 8am-5pm CT.

Bought one about 5 years ago and cushions are coming apart. Called customer support (1-800-494-3552 Mo-Fri 8am-4:30pm CT.) and very helpful. Part # ec-pel-blu-6c for blue plastic backing as they do not have black any longer. ex-pel-pnk-ec for pink.

Terrible Battery Life
on December 2, 2022

Very disappointed in the battery life. A fresh set of AAA batteries lasted less than 2 hours at the range before I got the audible warning. I've had to replace the foam ear cushions once since it started to degrade.

Horrible battery life
on April 6, 2023
Posted by: Howard
from Franklin square new york
I have a pair of these and have owned them for about a year now started off great but battery life is horrible at my local matches I’m changing batteries 2-3 times over the course of about 5 hours using fresh brand new batteries every time and not cheap batteries using some of the best and they just don’t last I can’t give more then a 1 star review because if I had to do it again I’d save the extra money and get a set from a different manufacturer

Great muff!

Posted by: Josephjoestar
from Springfield, MO
I've been using these for almost 10 years. I've been to dozens of matches and used these at every single one. As the other reviews have stated, the battery life is not great, but if you put lithium batteries in it, that will fix the issue. The foam cups last much longer than 3m says they will, provided you don't leave them in a hot car. I eventually wore them out and replaced them with gel cups. The only major con for me is there's no way to attach them to a helmet because the wiring goes inside the headband.
I would recommend this to a friend!
