Precision Rifle Gear 3m EEP 100

[Jrb572]

are they worth the money? Seeing a bunch of good and not so good reviews online.

I have a set of eymotic gunsport pros I really like. But they use hearing aid batteries and would like something rechargeable and not break the bank. I see eymotic makes some but look to be about $450 and they 3m ones around $150.

Yes!
But also order the skull screw tips.

My first set started having issues with holding a charge after 9 months and were replaced under warranty.
2nd set is holding up fine and they're around 10 months old now.
Personally I find after they have been in the ear for extended periods.( 2hrs +).
The ear canal becomes painful.
Not sure if others experience this or my ears are just a poor design.

They're good. A member here had a ton of them and was selling them for $100/shipped a while back and I bought 2 pairs.

Good sound quality/amplification, good battery life, comfy, decent NRR (better NRR if you get the optional skull screw foam tips which provide some additional NRR over the included foam ear tips. The 3-cup silicone rubber tips provide the least amount of noise reduction, but are easiest to insert and remove from the ear.) If you're frequently using them in a windy area you might want to consider getting the stick-on foam gust guards for the microphones.

I use them mostly in the shop if using loud tools and with noisy 2 stroke yard equipment, they're good protection for that while also allowing me to hear other noises and have a conversation. For shooting they're not enough NRR for me... I use 33 NRR foam earplugs + Sordins with the gel earcups for shooting.

A disclaimer on the above: I'm in a non-suppressor friendly state so most rifles are running brakes, which is a big reason why I double up on plugs and muffs... not worth taking a chance losing more hearing IMO. Maybe with a suppressor the EEP's by themselves would be enough, but I can't say for sure.

Looks tempting for hunting

Do they have replaceable filters like the Eymotic? In the part that attaches to the ear plug on the eymotic there is. I’ve had to replace them several times I guess earwax or dust makes it in there.

I tried looking for that add to see if he had any more. But I can not find it.

They're pretty great for hot weather, don't pick up much wind, & don't have much of a lag.

I basically only shoot in fairly windy conditions (7-18mph), haven't really ever had an issue

Maybe with a suppressor the EEP's by themselves would be enough, but I can't say for sure.

Making me worry here... I honestly didn't think much about this before using them & have now been using them for a few of months around mostly braked rifles. The EEP-100s w/ silicone tips are 23db NRR, classic Howard Leights are 22db NRR

Skull screws bump the EEP-100s to 30 db NRR. (The highest rating of any electronic ear pro when I was buying 2 years ago.)

I wear just them with braked rifles and they work as good as any in ear plug.
