Peltor 97451 Review by Peter Ciprari "BTRMN" (TEXAS)
Hey don't be cheap... these are total worth the money. I just wish I had been smarter and bought them years ago. I got two pair. One for me and for whomever I am with. I shoot AR's, 30-06, 45, 22, 12 & 20 gauge guns and these protect me and the people I am with from the sudden loud bangs. Better yet they also allow you to talk and shoot at same time. Sitting in the blind they also magnify the animal sounds you can't hear by just your ears alone. I am recomending them to all my buddies and requiring all the kids to wear them 100% of the time. ALSO DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CALL PELTOR DIRECT AND TALK TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THAT WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR ME BUYING THIS BRAND AND SPENDING MORE! you do and you too and be as satisfied as I am.
Peltor 97451 Review by mralsip
This is my second set of the Peltor Tactical Sport Hearing Protectors (PTSHP). Lost my first set on my last trip to the range. Somebody got lucky! These are great hearing protectors. They use one pair of AAA batteries and the first pair was used about 2 hours a month for 2 years before I lost them. I also have the slimmer Peltor "Shotgunner" hearing protectors with on/off knobs on each muff. They work well but frequently get accidently bumped on and kill the batteries. Never had that problem with these. While these work great for me, my wife doesn't like them as well as the slim "Shotgunner" model. She also says these don't suppress the noise as well when wearing eye protection. Probably a leak around the ear cup where the eye protection arm rests over the ear. These come with olive cup heads or bright orange cup heads that are easily changed. The head band fits close enough to my head to allow my hat to fit on top.
Peltor 97451 Review by M. S. Gartner (Boise, ID USA)
These hearing protectors are excellent devices for shooting. They provide a stereo sound-view of the world around you while keeping any loud sounds from affecting you. They are quite comfortable (though I have yet to wear them for long stretchs it seems like they would be fine over an afternoon). They are 1000% better than my previous hearing protectors, which were not electronic (I wouldn't go back).
The only thing that is annoying is that they advertise an "Audio jack" for "cell phones, MP3 players or dog trackers" but it is a completely non-standard (and mono, not stereo) port on the device, and the audio cable is not included. The audio cable is very simple (costing less than $0.50 to make, is my guess) and I found it selling from $22 to $40. What a crock. I'll have to check at Radio Shack to see if I can get a compatible cable for a reasonable price.
For shooting I can't actually imagine using this connected to an MP3 player as I usually want to know what's going on around me. However, I can think of other uses for this muff where I might want music as well (mowing the lawn, using a leaf blower, etc.), but not badly enough to pay another $22.
Peltor: Include a cable in the next version, or better yet use a standard 3.5mm mini stereo plug and provide or sell an adapter to the "old" two-prong plug!

Peltor 97451:: Description
The Peltor® Tactical Sport® hearing protector muff utilizes electronics that respond at lightning speed and protect your hearing from loud impulse noises. In many case the system reacts so gently that's you'll never hear the cut-off when the protector is activated.
