I have just purchased Pro Ears Gold, an electronic earmuff. I have been using a Peltor Bull's-eye Ultimate 10, which is a passive earmuff with an NRR of 29 db. The Pro Ears has an NRR of 33. I haven't taken the Pro Ears to the range yet, but when I compare them (turned off) with the Peltor, the Peltor is a lot quieter. Right now I'm sitting in my study with a TV on at normal volume. I can still hear every word when I put on the Pro Ears, but I can't make out the words with the Peltor. Are the Pro Ears a ripoff, or is there some scientific explanation? Thanks.
