Create a channel Learn moreThe Walker Razor has 23dB NRR. That 5dB difference from the MSA (18dB) is pretty huge in real-world noise reduction.The MSAs only claim an 18db NRR compared to 22 or so with the Howard Leights. Seems odd it’s less.

PM me with pics and price pleaseWe just switched from Peltor's to MSA on the helmets because of a consolidation of equipment (rail adapters, PTT units, etc). I have 2 basically brand new Peltor ComTac ACH single comm with gel units that simply need to be reattached to a headset or worn on a helmet I am about to unload due to this.
Peltor SportTacs with gel cups are comfortable (much nicer than the standard cups) and perform fairly well also
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Interesting read.
Besides hunting I’ve always worn ear protection.It's been around for years, every generation of shooters has to be pointed toward it.
FWIW I'm coming up on about ten years of this sport. Recently went to an ENT for help with a viral inner ear infection making me all kinds of miserable.
One of the first things they do is test your hearing. I fully expected some measurable loss due to some exposure to gunfire both without earpro in one case and on one stage where I had a buddy's brake ringing my bell from a few inches to the side.
I've worn MSAs, religiously, for probably 7ish of those ten years. Pistol classes, rifle classes at work, etc. Tens of thousands of rounds by now.
Hearing tested within the normal range and her immediate comment was, "you've been wearing hearing protection gear, good job."
She even expected some loss. MSAs are awesome, the end.
yeah they look like the shit, show us a pic of you wearing them?

3 decades of construction and heavy equipment and hundreds of concerts and raves took their toll though.
It’s extremely difficult to hear conversations with lots of background noise for me.
wait a minute....did you say raves? or is that a typo?
same issue as you 32 and change in construction....soft spoken ppl get the deer in the head lights look and the huh?
I went with the Swatcom Active 8. I have had Peltor, Howard lights, walkers, and others. I use mine not only for my own shooting but also at a police academy for a week at a time several times a year. Although they are a little pricey but by the time I add up all the others they have cost me less. I have had a pair of the new Walkers with the four mics fail and I tried to contact them. Well I left emails, phone calls, more phone calls, and then I stayed on hold for 2.5 hours until my phone batter died and still I have not heard back from them. I talked to the guys at Swatcom and they were very helpful. Side note they answered the phone on the, wait for it, 3ed ring. I know I know you don't believe it. They also can repair the MSA line and others. Check them out and make your on decision.
I got them from SRS Tactical in Florida.
Get the Sordins, try a Google search and educate yourselves, their NRR is a lot higher than 18 at gun fire frequencies, it's just rating confusion.
Except no young kids, that would be creepy
