Have had both the peltor tacticals and the MSA Sordins and the Sordins are buy far the best. I imagine the high end peltors are just as good as the Sordins.

Pat's info is good, but the Peltor Tac/Sport trumps both of them.. I have all 3, and loan the others out and ONLY use the Tac/Sports!
I love my Howard leights! I where a pair of ear plugs plus the ear muffs. Set the volume to maximum and when you fire everything goes completely silent. They are excellent for the money.
I have used several but for quality and durability the Sordins are the best albeit heavy compared to some.
Get the Gel ear cups for whatever you choose and thank me later.
Recently bought a pair and have been very pleased. Just be sure to double up when using them: plugs too. You only get one set of ears and hearing loss is permanent.

Yup. Be sure to go with the gel cups...worth every cent.

Both are good for what their purpose is but the Howard Lights are a little long for me making the cheek weld tough to get right ( they are in the way of the stock/too long). The Peltor tactical 6 offer a better cheek weld for me. The Howard Lights are more comfortable though for all day wear and seem to be better made not to mention the battery changeability. How do you change the batteries in the Peltors by the way. I tossed the instructions. Dumb I know...
anybody know if there is a set that goes behind your head that are electronic? that way i can still wear my boonie, its tight alone and i dont think any of them would go under it. if not i can always buy another boonie

Peltor makes a couple models that wear behind the head. I may even know someone selling a pair
I like my green Howard Leights. Sometimes when I turn them on, they are a bit slow to muffle the sound of gunfire so it gets a bit unpleasant. Maybe my ears are a bit sensitive although probably not, my hearing sucks.
