Howard Leight by Honeywell Leightning L1 Shooting Earmuff (R-01524),Light Gray

So far good product. I use these for sleeping, not shooting. Like sleeping in a sound-proof chamber. My upstairs neighbors are noisy at night and come home late. Outside traffic noise. I can't hear any of it unless it is super loud. Muffs are comfortable and after a few minutes wearing I don't notice them on my head. The only downside is that I can only sleep on my back, as they are too wide to turn on my side. One minor problem is the rubber seals have a sharp plastic edge on the inside that rubs against my ears and almost feels like it could cut the skin. I solved this by wearing a cloth ear protector cut from the toes of cotton socks. In general I am pleased, and finally getting some needed sound sleep.

The overall quality of these Leightning L3 Earmuffs are EXCELLENT. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods. They are extremely effective at suppressing loud noise. . . and they are startlingly inexpensive.I've had mine for about a month now, and I use them weekly for shooting firearms. LOUD firearms. . . with several other shooters firing very close to me. Typically I ALWAYS wear BOTH earplugs AND earmuffs when I go shooting. With these, I find that there is little actual difference if I skip wearing earplugs with them.Frankly, I am surprised that there are ANY people on here who gave bad reviews, but I guess there will always be certain people who will find something to complain about. . . even if you gave it to them for free. Listen, I suppose it's possible that there could be better earmuffs out there. . . especially if you have loads of money to burn, and cost is no object. But seriously, for $20, I really think that these are pretty hard to beat. Heck, at ANY price, I think these are pretty hard to beat.** NOTE ** I've read some other buyers complaints that these muffs are not adjustable, and that they were too small to fit their heads and reach their ears. I think that's probably because they couldn't figure out how to adjust them. It took me a few minutes to figure it out myself: The way you adjust them is to pull the metal headband wire out of the black plastic mounting swivels which are mounted on the plastic ear-cups. When the muffs are shipped, they are fully collapsed down to their smallest size, with the metal headband wire pieces pushed all the way down into the black plastic swivels. It's actually a FAR better design than my old earmuffs which adjusted by telescoping the top of the headband instead.Bottom line? Buy 'em & don't look back. I've used alot of earmuffs over the years, and these are the best ones I've had yet.

I bought this because of the Honeywell brand, it fits well with prescription glasses with protective glasses over those, and the 30 dB noise reduction. It works great at the indoor shooting range.

These are very nice, affordable, "no frills" earmuffs for the shooting range. They fold up compactly, fit snugly, seal well around the ears, and dampen gunshots to a comfortable level. I particularly like the soft, thin, flexible headband. It feels more comfortable than some of the thicker plastic bands on other earmuffs I've owned. The muffs are reasonably adjustable for different head sizes. In my case, I need them fully extended to fit well. The noise reduction rating is sufficient to reduce gunfire to a comfortable level, yet mild enough that you can still have a conversation with someone without having to raise your voice very much. I think it's a good balance.One (minor) downside is that you can't leave the earmuffs adjusted to the proper length for your head. You have to compress them back down to the shortest setting in order for the earmuffs to fold up inside the headband properly for compact storage. I don't see this as a problem, but some people may find it irritating. Also, I wonder how long the adjustable wires that attach the earmuffs to the headband will last. They don't seem cheap, but they aren't very robust either. I hope they'll hold up well and have no reason to doubt them yet, but they're small enough that I wonder if they may bend or break over time--especially since they need to be adjusted every time I don or stow these earmuffs. For under $20, it's worth the risk.The earmuffs may also interfere with some safety glasses, depending on the thickness and shape of the frames/sides on your glasses. Mine have very flat sides that fit fairly close to my head and run straight back to my ears, so the earmuffs seal fine over them and around my ear. However, if you wear glasses that have flared or curved sides that stand out from the sides of your head a bit, they may not fit well with these earmuffs, or the cups may not seal around your ear properly.
