3M Peltor Soundtrap/Tactical 6-S Electronic Headset, Black - Ultimate Hearing Protection and Enhanced Communication (One-Size, 97043) Review

Worked great! Pros: 1. I fired .45 Auto, 9mm, AR-15 5.56, Mk 46 5.56 belt-fed in open range and another AR-15 in indoor range.2. They take AAA batteries. It seems to be taking a long time. 3.

I wear it with a cowboy hat and an Ops Core Fast Helmet Tactical Helmet and they fit nicely around my neck. I also had eye protection and the seal stayed good. Cons: 1. Batteries are a…

I have six pairs of electronic headphones and these are the second worst. Given that the worst #1 is a 10-year-old Sportsman's Guide heirloom that's been vacuumed from day one, that's not so good.

My previous set of these things broke after 10 years. I bought them as a backup. (I've since switched to tactical hearing protection, which costs three times as much.)

They work great, but my large bowler hat required me to bend a wire behind my neck to fit my head. For real. The constant pressure of the hearing…

I had trouble with this review because I liked the first pair I bought about 15 years ago. Autumn Crisp Leaves was TOO loud when I turned the volume up. It was great to hear sounds or conversations that you otherwise would never have heard. Great for training yourself to move/be quieter. Their shape makes them great for long gun shooting, and you can wear any brimmed hat (or woman's hairstyle)! The latter died from battery corrosion. I hate that about this design. Replacing batteries is SO…
