Vance, I bought my son a pair last year and the work great for intended purpose. I (we)don't wear them during the complete hunt, just once game is spotted (unless wing shooting). One thing I liked about them vs. my Peltor Tactical 6, is that they have only one control knob that opperates both muffs vs. one on each side, so it doesn't take as much movement to deploy the muffs.
