Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I have the sonic defenders, the Howard Leight R-01526 ,and the Peltor.
The sonic defenders are not good at all on their own. I have 2 sizes and both pairs do not block enough.
My Howard Leight R-01526 do not seal on the ears very well. Almost like my head is too small, however 2 other people that have worn them say the same thing.
My peltors fit great and are fantastic.
I use $60 Howard Leights. Best $60 I ever spent. They amplify speech and normal ambient sounds (and that volume is adjustable), while reducing the report of high-decibel sounds. Do it now.
I've used a few different ones (albeit not the MSA/Sordin's). While the electronic amplification is nice for conversational purposes, I've not tried any that I felt were adequate, all by themselves, for sustained shooting activity. I double up with plugs under the electronic muffs.

Over the ear muffs. I've also got Surefire in-ears, but I don't really double up unless I'm using cheapies.
HUH !!!
In my early early years I shot trap for hours with out either hearing or eye protection. I'm paying the price now. I use Peltors and the the Surefire plugs now.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
I had a pair of Remington-branded electronic muffs and liked them a lot. They fell apart after three years or so, while my regular ear protection still looks and works great after more than a decade, so I'm not sure how great they are as to value for money, but I did like them, and may yet again purchase another set in the future.

Anyone use the MSA Sordins? Been debating getting a pair for awhile now.
Sordins are fucking amazing, and doubly so if you get the gel ear cups. Feels like having titties on your ears.
+1 for this, I love mine.
