SureFire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders
EP3 Sonic Defenders were named the 2011 Safety Product of the Year at the 20th Annual Shooting Industry Awards.
Surefire EP3 Sonic Defenders protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their double-flange stem design fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates the patented Hocks Noise Braker® filter. EP3s include attached stopper plugs, which can be inserted for further protection, and they also block out lower-level noise like that heard on a plane.
They can be used in situations where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical. The right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer and are ergonomically shaped, with an adjustable-stem design, providing a secure fit, all-day comfort, and extended product life (3 to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). And their low-profile design means they can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case. Available in clear.
*EP3 Sonic Defenders are sold as a single left/right set or in a box containing 25 sets. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case.
*All sizes of EP3s have identical flanged ear canal stemsthat is, the portion that fits in the ear canal.
*The sizessmall, medium, and largerefer only to the outer earpieces that fit in the ear's concha bowl and help hold the EP3 in place. Proper EP3 size is based on the dimensions of your ear's concha bowl. Medium fits most people.
*For those with larger ear canals, the EP4's three-flange stem may provide a better fit than the EP3's two-flange stem. [NSN: 6515-01-549-6448, 6515-01-549-6453, 6515-01-549-6457]

Great for my Tinnitus
I have mild ringing in my ears so ear protection that blocks out all sound drives me crazy. I have electronic ear muffs but they are bulky and make me sweat. I decided to try these and use them with the plugs out and just hope the filter would keep my ears working but not annoy the S*** out of me. And that's exactly what they do. It lowers the volume of everything but once I stop shooting I can hear everything. I want to stress its not muffled for me, its like turning down the radio. Its still clear. They fit perfect in my ears and I don't even feel them when I'm shooting. I will buy these until the day I die. Also, thanks to SKD, I got them in time for the range this weekend! Great product, and another great experience from SKD! My go to "guy" online!

SureFire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders
Haven't had a chance to see how they do at the range, but they pass the clap test. They fit really well but am disappointed to find out they have a product life of 3 to 6 plus months depending on usage and care.

earplugs
Nice little earplugs. I use them at my firehouse and they're great at cutting noise down.

Excellent fit
I tried these out because I hate the standard foam earplugs used for my job and as my secondary ear protection while shooting. I purchased the medium and they fit well, are easy to put and take out.
