Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor 97044 Tactical 6S Active Volume Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Peltor hearing protection
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great, I got these recently and a recent trip to the outdoor shooting range they performed really well. They are not total protection but they do help. The amplification on the volume of each cup is great, I can not just hear, but hear things in a greater amount, people talking, the shells landing and such. The cut off is really sensitive so it works well, they instantly quiet when I shoot or even just close my car door. If I wanted more protection I could always add foam ear inserts plus these, but would defeat the purpose of the volume. For my handguns its fine, anything louder I would put my hearing first and add foam ear inserts plus these.Customer Review: Peltor 97044 Tactical 6S
Summary: 5 Stars
I took this headset to a handgun class on 3/27/2010 and a Rifle class on 3/28/2010.
3/27 was cold but sunny and the headset ran fine all day.
3/28 was over cast all day and rained the whole 8 hours of the class.
The Peltor 6S held up very well in the rain and cold both days with zero issues.
While I normally use earplugs and a heaset, a head cold was preventing me from hearing
normal voice levels with plugs and the headset.
I switched to just the headset and could hear normal voice levels just fine while still
maintaining hearing protection with the 6S noise reduction.
Customer Review: Crap, not same model I paid for.
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, these amplify ALL sounds, so they are useless in a factory where there are constant noises echoing from a distance.
When I walk on concrete, my FOOTSTEPS get isolated by these headphones, and the phones mute for almost a half second EVERY step. I cant even hear myself walk WITHOUT these on. They are hot and not exactly UNcomfortable, but you feel much better NOT wearing them.
To top it off, I got it at the last GoldBox deal, and I was *NOT* sent the "7S" model I paid $99.99 for. I was sent this 6S model that retails for exactly $79 on Amazon, and I didnt notice until 5 weeks later.
Customer Review: A must have for any shotgunner
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so pleased with this product. I wish I had purchased a pair sooner. I am not big on buying gear unless it makes a difference and had settled for foam earplugs until recently. I have been nothing but impressed with these hearing protectors. Some reviewers talk about a "fuzz" or white noise in the background. This is hardly noticeable. It has a similar sound to a guitar amp with no guitar plugged in. I was also impressed by the clearance between the muffs and stock. I had no contact- something not always true with thicker muffs.
Quit fiddling with cheap foam plugs and buy the 6S!
Customer Review: One large flaw in the design
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like the Peltor hearing protectors and they work great. They fit better than some other brand that I have. However the one bad drawback to the design is that the batteries are very difficult to get into. One must pry off the ear pad then replace the batteries underneat. I cannot do it with my fingers alone because the flange nearly cuts into my skin. I must use a screw driver. Surely there is a better design. I hate this about them. If one has arthritis, you can't do it. I have lost some muscle strength after taking statins for cholesterol and I cannot do it with my fingers.
