How are the EP3 Sonic Defender earplugs?

How are the EP3 Sonic Defender earplugs, anyone have experience with them?

Supposedly you’re supposed to be able to hear normally when you’re wearing them and reduce the noise by 16NRR when there’s something loud.

I was thinking about getting them for hunting.

I have some and while they aren't the best for sustained range sessions, they would fit the bill perfectly for hunting. They have a plug that can be inserted to provide additional protection.

I have some (EP4's) and like them.

I also posted this in another thread:

use the SF earpro and it is GREAT!

It's comfortable, and easy to use. I leave the noise filter open when shooting outdoors, but I could see closing them for worrking around constant loud noise. For hunting, I would give the SF earpro a chance. I use a medium pair of EP4's

I have been wearing Peltor "shotgunner" muffs for a while and I like them. On the recommendation of a friend who just joined the DSS, I bought a pair of Surefire EP4's.

I got them here:

Surefire earpro is wonderful! You really can hear conversations with them, but my AR is comfortable to shoot as well. The Hocks filter is an interesting concept that works.
