Earpro

FSA is still your money, just pre-tax.

I suppose you consider a tax refund found money?

True. You can build in the cost to your FSA at open enrollment, and get your ear pro right away, and not be out-of-pocket all at once (if that is a concern/issue). Plus, as stated, it lowers your tax burden each payday. Being a "use it or lose it" source of funding, it does require some thought, foresight and planning to maximize benefit, but that's another thread...

My MSAs were free...just sayin.

If you have a flex spending account and have a prescription from a doc you can get reimbursed for the cost if the ear pro.

what did you get the prescription to say?

what did you get the prescription to say?

I went to the doc, told them I work in a loud environment and that the standard ear pro wasn't giving enough protection. I took a printout of the MSAs - he wrote it for the product. I bought the ear pro, stapled the prescription to the receipt and turned it in to my insurance, they wrote me a check.

Howard Leicht Sport Impact. Still only $50. I've only used them outdoors and under cover.

I guess you could spend more on Peltors, but are you getting more?

I just picked up a pair of these at Bowers and pretty impressed. Turned off, I couldn't hear any of the ambient noise or people talking on the phone. With the microphone on, it amplified the sound very well. Guy was rolling a cart down the hall and it sounded like a rock slide. I've used Pro Ears Gold before but these are a good buy. I'll see how they do at the indoor range. Good option for those that aren't living in a high noise environment.

Does anyone else, besides me, wear some foamies or rubber plugs under their headset?

I use the Howard Leight Sport Impact headset, but always put a set of the plugs on a string in first.

Depends on the situation. If I'm out in open grasslands I just wear the Sordins. If I'm shooting under an overhang (like some ranges have) or indoors, I'll double up.

Ask a friend w/ the Howard Leight's to let you try them on first for fitment. For me at least, the cups leave open-air gaps below the ear due to the large size.

I have the same issue. I have to play with them a bit to get them to seal good. I like them but think I might look for something with a little better fit.

Howard Leight Impact Sport with some foamies seems to be the perfect combo for me
