| I am in the market for a set of quality electronic earmuffs. I have a giftcard for Academy, but the only set they carry are the Silencio Falcons and I haven't heard anything about these. Are they any good? I have heard good things about the Peltor Tactical 6's and was wondering if I should just order these online instead. Are there Any others I should consider? Any advice or recommendations are appreciated. |
+1 on above statement... Peltor COMTAC/SWATAC II MSA/Sordin Supreme Pro PRO-EARS Sporting Clays DIMENSION 2 I have all of the above electronic headsets/earmuffs and they are all excellent and all very pricey !!! Another set you should look at is the Peltor SPORTTAC Tactical Sport headset. These seem to be very reasonably priced for their features and a step up from the Peltor Tactical 6's. Some good info here: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=19&t=289513... |

PELTOR, Tactical Sports (Electronic Muffs) www.ishot-inc.com/store2/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=44 For an addition $20 the latest offering from Peltor should be considered... |
+1 got mine from triad tactical, steve is a great guy to do business with, fast service. very comfortable, easy access to replace batteries, no clipping, positive cheek weld transitioning to weak side and worth every penny.imho |

If you go with Peltor, I-Shot's gel upgrades are absolutely the only way forward. They are extremely comfortable (so much so I never took off my ears for hours during my last class) and the double wall construction means they actually improve sound reduction (to my ears anyway). COMTAC IIs are outstanding. If you're going to spend TacPro money....you might as well spend a bit more and get the works. Otherwise the Tacsports are outstanding value. Simon |
I can only tell you what NOT to get. I purchased the $30 cheapos from SG(?). Bulky, heavy, slow response time, dirty pots...other than that they work fine.  The vocal mic'd units appear bulky. Is there an issue with the stock touching them during a good cheek weld? |

I have both Sordins and Peltors and don't find the ear pad on the Sordins to be any better than the standard ear pads of the Peltors. The only significantly better option are the Gel Ear Seals for the Peltors which not only seal better but are much more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. |
Yep. Complete junk, or very close to it. The batteries in mine keep coming loose from the battery holder, forcing me to disassemble the stupid thing to make it work again. Also, I seriously doubt that you can find replacement ear seals for them. |
