Has anyone every used Pro Ears? My wife is asking for a Christmas List and I thought this might be a good one, but wanting to get some feedback before Mrs Claus gets the list.
What else should I add to my list?
Very nice but expensive

I have a pair of the Dem 1 Pro-Ears, they are 7 yrs old and work great. They are pricey, but my hearing is so screwed up from the military, they help a lot when shooting and traning, hearing commands Ect...
If you want them for the range, they make other devices ( hearing protection electronic) that are cheaper that work just as well.

FWIW: I have a pair of Peltor Tactical 6s hearing protectors that I got for $65 and change from Midway (I think) and they are great. Been using them for about six months and have no complaints. They are sooooo much better than the regular ear-muff's. You hear everything except gun shots! Just my $0.02 worth.

I'm a little biased because I sell them, but I only sell products I like. I think the Pro-Ears are fantastic muffs, and have heard from customers that they like them alot better than the Peltors.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the different models.

Go hear and look around

The difference between them (pro-ears and Peltor 6) is night and day.
Pro-ears is the best

I use a pair of Pro-Ears Dimension Plus. The only (tiny) thing I would like to change is the tension against the head; even though I don't have a small head (hat size 7 1/2), after a year of frequent use, including wear up on my cap and on my leg, I have to hold on to 'em when I bend to pick up casings or mags. But there are a lot of plusses that override this minor inconvenience...not the least of which is good auditory qualities. And they use the same size batteries as my SureFire lights and EOTechs.

Faint, I didn't know this thing uses N size battery. Should have bought an EOTech with N size batteries.
Where do you guys buy the N size? How much does it cost?

Anyone have any experience with the Stalker Plus series in hunting situations? Do they work as advertised?

Cannot find any. I may have to return it because of this.
