Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor 97044 Tactical 6S Active Volume Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Good for short term use, but not enough protection.
Summary: 4 Stars
These are good if you need them for short term usage. But they simply don't provide enough protection.
I have a pair and I don't use them. I prefer cheap muffs + earplugs.
Customer Review: Good price for a teriffic product
Summary: 5 Stars
Wish I had these sooner. Lets me hear my shooting buddies while still protecting my hearing. There is some background static/noise when turned up very far, but it's no big deal. I don't know why there are seperate on/off/volume knobs for each earpiece.
Unit also folds up very well, so it takes up minimal space in a range bag.
Customer Review: Good with a couple room for improvements
Summary: 4 Stars
The on/off-volume nobs rub against the frame so when putting them away alot of times they will turn back on then next time you go to use them dead batteries, in one ear.
Changing the batteries/putting the battering in is awful. You have to tear the black part off it feels like you are going to rip them or break them which I am sure a few people have by grabbing the wrong part.
Instructions suck ^^^ relating to putting in the batteries, how about a decent picture or two.
Skullclamp, if you wear them for longer then about 4 hours your skin will begin to grow around them as if they are an extension of you skull they are so tight.
Very good noise reduction, I use with guns and power tools. Its scary when you turn on a saw and all you hear is nothing but you feel the cool breeze coming off the blade.
Customer Review: Great for gun range, not so great for noisy environments
Summary: 3 Stars
I found that these were really useful when used in a quiet environment with loud sounds that come periodically, like a gun range. When worn with ear plugs, they amplify speech so you can hear conversations in between shots or bangs.
However, when used in an area with high ambient noise (engine room, construction site), they function about the same as regular earmuffs because the amplified audio cannot be heard over the ambient noise.
Pros: Works well for the range
Cons: Doesn't work well for areas with high levels of ambient noise
Overall: 3/5 stars
I recommend using rechargeable batteries.
Customer Review: Great piece of equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this in Iraq with my kevlar helmet and its perfect. Its practical and folds up nicely. Just remember to buy AAA batteries for it. It takes two per side.
