I like my Howard Leights. Being the Pros they aren't ideal for rifle shooting, can kind of get annoying when trying to get a good cheek weld because of how thick they are. They're great for handgun shooting though. I have a set of E-Max muffs that are a bit thinner but don't offer as much protection. I usually double up with the cheap foam in-ear protection when I use them.
My electronic in-ear are the 3M EEP-100's, and I swapped out the ear piece for their Skull Screw plugs. Really impressed with them, definitely believe the 30db claim for noise reduction. The TEP-100's have some more bells and whistles but are significantly more expensive and I didn't need the extra features.
I could live without the benefits of electronic protection, but its just so much more convenient to not have to have people yell so you can hear them and visa versa. I imagine when hunting its even more convenient so you don't have to put them on before shooting.
