Any electronic ear muffs on market that have at least 34-35 dB reduction? I looked on internet, but the best I found are 31 dB.

I have presently one with 25 dB reduction, but to have reduction level I want, need to put also those foam plugs.This is OK for the fist hour, but later on my ears feel like I put solid cork.

I will use them to shoot revolver, so if ear muffs are somewhat bulky, that's OK.

Thanks

I have a set of Howard Leights that claim 31. I also changed out the earpads for gel ones, which conform better to my head. I think the better sealing makes a difference.
but I have never found anything higher. I just double up with foam earplugs if I know it's going to be nasty. Some foams are better than others though. the ones I currently have are aorange color. Resistor is the name I think. pretty decent. don't feel like bricks in my ears.
 
I put foam plugs in, and then turn the volume on the electronics almost all the way up. Almost like normal hearing, but you are well protected.
