SureFire EarPro Sonic Defenders EP3 Hearing Protection Earpieces 1 Pair Medium Review

SureFire EarPro Sonic Defenders EP3 Hearing Protection Earpieces 1 Pair Medium

These work great alright for the right application. I've been using them for about two years now and as mentioned in the other reviews, great for tactical applications, and decent for motorcycling. For plain open range they're great. For CQC/tactical applications it's not quite perfect but the best I've used so far. I've also used Peltor SWAT Tac but found that the stereo noise amplifier at low levels didn't work as I'd like it. During training evolutions, I often heard noise coming from one direction that were in fact coming from another, very bad. This never hapens with the EP3s as they are not amplified. They' don't offer as much dB protection and firing in closed quarters will leave your head buzzing. But I'd rather have buzzing ears after the fact than not hearing someone coming from around a corner. A quick removal of the "Hocks Noise Braker filter" also allows the inserting of generic sound tubes and makes for a solid comms ear piece. I must be on my fifth or sixth set now (simply because I lose them) and will continue to use them until something better comes along.
P.S. If you wonder what size to order, go for the medium. We purchased all three sizes to outfit our team (16) and all but one (large) use the mediums.

One of the best noise canceling devices I've purchased. For $50 dollars it's hard to go wrong with this product. I bought my last pair for my brother and he too was blown away by the quality of the product. I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoys shooting on a regular basis, and enjoys comfort and quality.
Sweet Barry.

SureFire Sonic Defenders Hearing Protection Earpieces EP3-LPR Large Size Pair Review

SureFire Sonic Defenders Hearing Protection Earpieces EP3-LPR Large Size Pair
Average Reviews:

I bought these to use for hearing protection while shooting rifles, because muff type hearing protectors interfere with my cheek weld. The protection works great--if you leave the little flaps open, they will close automatically when noise spikes to high levels. If you are around constant noise (running large equipment, say) you can put the little flaps in and it gives a constant high level of protection.
My only complaint with these is that they tend to slowly work their way out of my ear canal. It's not a big deal, but my worry is that I won't notice the slow increase to the sound level and could potentially cause the damage these are meant to stop. So I just make sure I push them in good every 5 or 10 minutes.

Surefire EP4 Sonic Defender Ear Protection Review

Surefire EP4 Sonic Defender Ear Protection
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I spend a good amount of time on weekends at the range, and one round with my .45 - not to mention the other hundred guns around - is enough to begin a serious search for the right ear protection. I tried a few other items, then came across the Surefire EP4s - and I don't believe I'll find anything better in the near future. What was once nearly an all-but-intolerable affair is now muted to little more than distant pops.
My grade weighted a few things:
1) Comfort - they are small, lightweight and low profile, excellent when they'll be in use for several hours at a time.
2) Price - quality ear protection perhaps is priceless, but finding a pair for as little $ as the EPs was a shock to me, especially once I put them to use.
3) They work. I've worn over-ear headphones, throw-away in-ear plugs and everything between. And not once has any surpassed the EP4s. You won't be disappointed.
One final comment: I was skeptical to use them with the plug pulled out, so most of the day I had the plugs in use and hardly a sound got in. But as I sat to clean my weapon I pulled the plugs to see how they'd do, and I was very surprised as to how well they still canceled much of the irritating and dangerous gunfire.
Great, versatile product. I'll be looking for more Surefire items.
