I've been curious about getting some electronic ear buds for hunting because I like to hunt with friends. I use some Howard Leight Impact Sport electric muffs for target shooting which have been perfect for my needs. I've seen various models like ones that are connected by a cord such as the Howard Leight in-ears or a behind-the-neck band such as the Walker Razor XV. I would prefer wireless ear buds such as the Walker Silencers but I've seen bad reviews on those.

So what are some recommendations? They can be some of the ones I already named too. Just looking for peoples' personal experience with them. Price range would ideally be less than $150.

You're not getting electronic earbuds for $150 that are worth a damn.

I have decent ones, but not top of the line. They were $2,699.

Get the corded ones for $150 that are like headphones. That's as good as you'll get at that price point.

This is what I've been using lately for $189.  They are pretty good for the price.  Combine it with skull screw foam tips and they have the best noise reduction rating of any plug.  On the downside I could use a little more volume at the highest setting and they have some power drain issues after a few weeks of non use.

I used sport ears custom plugs in the past, $1200, and they were great but I kept losing and destroying them.

Otto Noizebarrier Micros.    I use Etymotic Research ER38-14F Foam tips that seem the same as the included foam tips that came with the buds.   You can also fit them with 3M skullscrews too but personally I didn't like those as much because they seemed to let more sound through than these do for indoor shooting.

Thanks for the recommendations thus far.
