Howard Leight Leightning 30 Earmuff, NRR 30db, Black

I have found that these muffs work to reduce constant drone noise very efficiently for vacuums. grinders and weed eaters.
They have not been tested yet with percussion, i.e. gun noise suppression but I suspect they will be fine, especially if in-the-ear foam (23Db) plugs are also used.
Because of the firm fit around the ears, I note that if you wear eyeglasses with the muffs, then you may experience marked pressure point discomfort as the eyeglass ear-pieces (mine are the wire-type) are pressed hard enough by the muff fit to cause painful-discomfort after about 15~20 min.
For the reason stated above, I opted to purchase goggles at less expense (AoSafety Eyeglass Protectors #91111 - with shields for front and side impact protection.
* Meet ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.1 industrial safety standards - About $4.00 at LOWS Home Center) and cut off (hacksaw) the goggle ear-pieces (thick plastic) and attach gum-rubber tubing to the goggles stems that then affix to the outside of the ear-muff cups (the metal slides that hold the muffs) so that (with eyeglasses off and) only muffs with goggles on, only the muffs press against the head, providing good sound block - this proves to be a comfortable and eye-safe combination.
The goggles are so hooked to the muffs as to be easily removable when not needed.
Some describe the muffs as ''heavy'' or ''bulky'', Hmm, totally subjective. I find that when doing other things, I do not notice them at all. Again the caveat, prescription eyeglasses or goggle ear-pieces are pressed firm enough to cause discomfort and pain with extended goggle wear.
Overall I would recommend this product as a good buy.

Nice ear protection for the price.
Comfortable with good noise control.
Could still hear conversations with my shooting buddies when not shooting. Good product.
