I really wanted these to work. I usually use full headphone-type ear protection when shooting handguns, but recently bought a new hunting rifle so I figured I'd get some new earbuds since headphones tend to get in the way with rifles. I chose these mainly because I work in the same town where this company is located. Support local business and all.I read the instructions, I watched a youtube video, did all the things. They felt secure enough and I was really hoping for the best. Went shooting Saturday; todays is Tuesday and the tinnitus I already have is now at a level its never been before. I need to figure out something else before I head to range again.

The first set worked so well I got another pair

I watched a video and followed the directions and everything went smoothly. Used it at a trapshooting competition all day. The rubber tips were less comfortable than the foam.

These are a compromise between extreme sound blocking by wearing plugs plus muffs vs being able to carry on a normal conversation without any ear protection. Electronic plugs might be closer to being able to hear normally between gunfire but they offer no better hearing protection than the Decibullz and cost 4 to 10 times more. _x000D_

Was a christmas gift.

Bought these to use at the range and on field ops where I need to hear what's going on around me for situational awareness. Can't have any 'unacceptables' finding me before I find them. Maybe that's why I have the decorations I do. Anyway, with the current goings-on in eastern Europe, these have literally been life-savers and have allowed me to continue the proud tradition of US pest control abroad.

Seriously, the best! Can hear people talking without issue, protects your ears without discomfort and best of all NO BATTERIES!

My husband loves his for when he sights his guns in or just goes shooting. Very good noise canceling earbuds

Very good at noise reduction. Can wear all day with no discomfort. Purchased for other people and we're all in agreement that this is a good product

After watching the instructional video a few times, I went through the moulding process. It went very quickly. You do have to pay attention to be sure your entire ear opening is filled with the molded material. With these in my ears using the foam plugs and the percussion filters in place, I could not hear the little beeps from my microwave as I entered time to warm up a cup of coffee before driving to the range. You definitely should test the goodness of fit (and sound protection) before exposing yourself to a gunshot. One good way to start is how your car engine sounds when you start it up (assuming you have an internal combustion engine). You can hear it, but it should be quite muffled. If you can hear it normally in either ear, you need to re-mold that ear piece.I took these to an outdoor range. Firing a 9mm pistol, I could hear the shots but just enough to know the gun fired. Then I fired my AR-15 using .223 rounds. Very mild percussion in my ears. I have been using a pair of Howard Leight electronic ear muffs - they're about the best protection you can get. 33db reduction and very rapid response to loud percussive sound. My experience wearing the Decibullz - Custom Molded Percussive Filters with the foam inserts was at least as good if not better than the electronic ear muffs. Incredible. Since the percussion filters are mechanical, there is NO delay time in supressing loud sounds. Maybe that's why they seem even better. The sound level also seems noticeably lower that what I was used to with the electronic ear muffs.Bottom line is, if you mold them correctly, these things WORK!

I thought to myself - come on, really? Normal hearing AND protection from rifle fire. I followed the fitting instructions - easy peasy. Then I put in the filters and noticed a barely perceptible drop of hearing. So I went to the gun range. And ---- it actually works. I'm impressed. Now I can hunt, hear what is going on around me, and if I decide to shoot - I have hearing protection. I like it. Thank you Decibullz for an excellent product that actually works.

I was surprised how well these worked. Wore them pheasant hunting and I was able to carry on conversations with guys 2-3 down the row from me. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t hear everything, they are still hearing protection. But you can hear enough while keeping your ears safe. Shot a 12ga and I didn’t even flinch and no ringing of the ears. Some battery powered ones might pick up more ambient noice. But these are no fuse, put them in and go.

Great little earbuds, I could hear conversation, and spent all day shooting no problem, they did get a little uncomfortable after a few hours, but plenty of adjustments can be made for fitment to help with that

love all the different setting and the fit

Tried this at an indoor range and I can say this honestly works, with one small caveat. Does fine with small calibers like 9mm, but I did get a small ringing with my 45ACP, so I used more traditional over ear from that point forward. Didn’t want to try with larger since I wasn’t confident it would hold with 556 or larger.

I have a pair of headphones with electronic noise cancellation for shooting. They work great but they require batteries and get in the way when I am shooting clays with my shotgun. The Decibullz stay out of the way, and give the same cancellation of noise without any batteries. I can still hear conversation while wearing them but am protected from the loud report of the shotgun blast. I followed the instructions in the video that Decibullz made to fit them to my ears. It worked for me on the first try. Mine came with a lanyard and zippered case. I use the foam ear buds but they also come with silicon. I really like the fact that I can leave them in my range bag and never have to remember to replace batteries again.

I love that after I molded them to my ears, they feel like they disappear.

Great percussive canceling, however I guess I was expecting it to work better when with normal sounds and when talking with others. It cancels normal sounds too well that I thought I was wearing regular foam plugs. Very comfortable and easy to mold per directions. Had to mold each plug twice to fully shape to my ears. I will keep these Decibulls to use when I need good protection when shooting by myself but not when shooting competition and need to hear range commands.

Wife and I use these for shooting sporting clays. We upgraded from the lower end model. Was not sure if it would be worth the extra cost. They are!!

I wear these shooting indoors at a range and outdoors. Very comfortable and effective.Be sure to watch the video that shows how to mold them so that they fit perfectly. I had to do one side a second time to get the fit just right. Once they are setup you can easily wear then for hours without even thinking about it.They are very convenient and far more comfortable than over the ear protection.
