When I started PRS shooting, I realized two things: 1) electronic ear pro is almost a necessity here, and 2) not all electronic ear pro are created equally, even within the same brand.

For example, I bought a set of Walker’s Youth ear muffs for my son - they’re not Omni directional or stereo, so he couldn’t really tell what direction sounds came from. His adult size Walker’s muffs are the same way - hard to tell which direction sounds actually come from, but much better in wind (aka, no wind noise unless wind is 30+ mph). The Walkers Silencer (non-Bluetooth) Rechargeable earbuds my wife has are terrible in wind, whereas my Bluetooth version are fantastic with no wind noise at all. Alternatively, my Bluetooth Silencer earbuds are fantastic for directionality and for wind suppression. My ProEars behind the neck muffs are fantastic in wind, and absolutely wonderful for directionality - as are my wife’s MSA Sordin’s.

I wear electronic ear pro now somewhere around 8-10hrs per weekend. I can’t recommend dirt cheap options, but I highly recommend the use of quality products.
