Just to note, they greatly benefit from doing 2 modifications.
1. Replace the stock ear pads with Prohear Gel pads. Substantial comfort difference!
Right now Amazon has a 2-pack set of the Prohear gel pads on a Black Friday discount of $22.39 for both sets. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTY2T196
I had paid $16.00 for one set last year and that was on a heavily discounted price. This is even lower, at $11.20 per set and the 2nd set can be easily sold if not needed or kept as a backup.
2. Most of the cups on these muffs have a hollow interior (minus the electronics).
You can make them far more isolated from noise by snapping off the ear plates, and filling the entire hollow areas with sound deadening foam (or any soft compressible foam rubber).
There's YT videos on doing this, as well.

For this reason, I have resorted to wearing earplugs underneath the muffs, then I turn the amplification up to max volume so that I can still hear conversation over the earplugs.
Bottom line: they are usable if you can't afford something better. Anything over $30 is too expensive, however.
It's because car prices have only gone up 50%…. Dang, wait. I'll think of the reason.
It's because grocery prices have only gone up 50%… dang, no.
It's because gas has doubled… never mind, I don't think that is included.
It's because .. man, I don't know. Because they now pay $20/hr starting wage at Dennys etc even though everyone else's pay stayed stagnant maybe?

This is a deal!
FWIW: Had someone ask about noise reduction for going to a movie when sound bothers them. Having stereo mics would help. I wonder how well these would work there or for a concert, or if everything would be too loud to pass?

Here's a pro tip: If I had the choice to get the walkers on sale versus the Honeywells at full price, I would pay full price for the Honeywells without hesitation, especially when paired with the Pro Gel Inserts. These inserts are a game-changer, transforming them into something you'd expect from a high-end pair. And good news – the inserts are currently half off here: Pro Gel Inserts on Amazon. [amazon.com] (15 bucks ish)
Hope that helps. Happy shooting!
