I don't know anything about any of them, except I will not buy first ones you listed. They are made in China.

The other two are reported as made in Sweden and the USA.

Well, duh... Of course they are made in China. It's really too bad that good and affordable electronic gear isn't made here anymore.

I purchased a pair and I liked them so much I purchased a 2nd for my son.

They work fantastic. They would be amazing performeres at double the price.

Has anyone got anything positive/negative to say about these muffs?

They have a rating of 30. All the other competitors that have this kind of rating cost $250-$500.

For example, Peltor makes these at NRR 26 for $200.00.

26 isn't bad but remember that the dB scale is logarithmic so a difference of 4dB cuts the sound by more than half.

Pro-Ears make one with NRR30 but they retail for $340. Amazon dealers want $260.00

These are quite a bit lighter at 13.5 oz. The HL model is 1.2 lbs (19.20z.)

For $190.00 of savings, I can deal with 6 oz.

I do most of my shooting indoors and the HS Sports model (NRR20) that I've been using for over a year don't have near the protection they need for inside. I always have to double them up with ear plugs but again, that makes it hard to understand what's being said. I do a lot of instructing and competing so I need to understand what's being said.

Just wondering if anyone has these and how they work.
