What do ya'll use? I have glasses now and need to go to plugs but the ones they sell at Wal-Mart suck. What is a better option?

I use these. They fit with glasses.

If I'm using plugs I just used GI earplugs.

I really recommend muffs for the range. Easier to put on and take off. You can still have a conversation and hear pretty clearly with them.

I shoot a lot of sporting clays and am never in a blind alone during duck season and had the same problem when I had to get glasses. Got my plugs from these guys. They are great. Put them in and forget them no adjusting no tucking back in. Don't know if they are in your area as well but sure someone around you does these.

Behind the neck ear muffs



I use these. I'm not a fan of the plastic piece that goes over your head.

Ear plugs with ear muffs. Indoor ranges hurt my ears. I don't like them.

if you are shooting handguns, or next to handguns or loud rifles/shotguns, you should be wearing plugs AND muffs.

foam plugs with Caldwell electronic muffs. Can still hear conversation, and have extra hearing protection of both. No need to take muffs off either. I wear with glasses.

I agree w/ BP and others who made similar comments. This is the exact same setup I use. I've got some permanent hearing damage already from years ago when I wasn't so careful. Do yourself a favor and double your hearing protection by using BOTH foam plugs AND external muffs (hopefully the electronic type).

MSA Sordin Supreme Pro x, I think thats the model. I use the one that has the neck band. Oh and get the gel cups.

I have used the surefires before, they are very nice and comfortable. I got a free pair back in 2010 when they were first released. If I were wearing a ear plug, I would get these. They were the only plug that was comfortable to wear all day for me. I need to get a new set to throw in the bag in case the MSAs die or someone is shooting a braked 300 win mag next to me.
