Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor 97044 Tactical 6S Active Volume Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Solid protection
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very much pleased with these muffs! This year I had so much trouble hunting. I shoot a 7 mag, thats a loud mother but I always want to be able to hear. In the past I have kept my muffs pulled up above my ear slightly. Problem there is, it starts to hurt your ear, it bends the ear's natural fold to where I can only hear whats directly beside me and you run the risk of scaring game when repositioning them. My fiance has sat with me to be extra eyes and ears and she wore no muffs, luckily I never took a shot.
All those problems made me finally break down and say I'm going a new route. I'm so pleased with the 97044s. They look sleak, they feel sturdy and they fold up to a compact size. They fit comfortable and tight. The amplification of my hearing ability is awesome! A real upper hand when hunting. Battery life seems to be decent too. I will agree with the review that said battery placement and changing is difficult and could have been better designed, but I've got it down now, so no more problems there.
As for the dB rating, I can believe it. When I first put them on, I did a series of hand claps and other noises in front of the mics. Cut right out just as promised. Confident with it I shot my 7 and my PLR-16 (which is ungodly loud with a muzzle break) and 100% satisfaction. I've seen some reviews saying that the 97044s did not work well, I'm going to contribute it to maybe Peltor isn't consistant with product quality?
As for the delay time after the cut out, who cares? I don't take a shot and then carry on an important conversation immediately. There is a few seconds delay but I mean come on, for general usage, is that really a problem? It does not bother me in the least bit.
I'm no expert on shooting muffs, but my range junkie buddies tell me there is a lot better quality protection out, but for the price these are outstanding muffs. Thats why I didn't rate them a full 5 stars, because they have been improved upon. But the quality I got for the price is unbeatable. I will be ordering more for family and friends before this year's deer season.
