I would rate these as disposable IF and a BIG IF they worked even reasonably well.
They did nothing to "SHUT OFF" loud range noise and sound amplification was inferior and distorted.
They barely worked as well as a non electronic muff.
Packaging/ use instructions poorly written. Battery access very difficult and disclaimer stated that the earmuff foam is only good for "6 months"!!!!
A total waste of time and money.

these muffs fit 100% under ACH - mine is large sizs and it works fine with both types of chin straps. i was unsure of geting this because i was unsure it it would fit so i rolled the dice and won. it fits and works great. dont wory about the batt. replace ment its not hard pop off cup and replade and put back its not hard so many say it is but ? i think they r just scaird to break them. it does take some med force but u will be fine thay are quite strong and were mabe to pop off and back on this way
it takes 2 batt in ea side so if 1 side goes dead no prob. th other side works still . and if u r hard hearing in one ear as i am its even better set off muffs y? because u can have 1 side turn way up and the other at med vol. or the same if u at norm. hearing lv .
pros L and R side batt and vol are independent of eachother
2 AAA batt. ea side = small
FITS under ACH and chin strap - go MIL.
stops noise fast and pickes back up good
cost is good
4.5 star - imp.
con if your hearing is the same in both ears you may not like to ajust
both sides each time
you may feel as u r breaking the muffs when u r replacing the batt. or may
have to take them off again to aline the ear foam . np you will figher it
out its easy not hard
you get what u pay for, so if u want some thing that flys u to the moon try
a rocket - thease are good but no matter what some one always has one better
for a doller more

After reading the good reviews this product had, I ordered it. Installing the batteries was a bit challenging since the earcups don't come of easily. After wearing them on the range, had to take it off several times as it does not feel comfortable for long wear. The sound had a slight delay, but that's ok for me though....Overall, it would be nice if the cushions were more comfortable..

They work as described but get hot after a while. Also the batteries are pain to put in/change out.

I purchased model 97044 Peltor hearing protector based largely on the reviews I read here. This is quite possibly the worst hearing protection I have ever used. I wrote this unit off as a lemon or part of a bad batch. However, I was at my local shooting range this past weekend when a gentleman approached me because he noticed that I was wearing the same brand that he had. We compared notes and realized that we both had the same issues. They are as follows.
1. The battery location and replacement procedure is ill considered and lends itself to the possibility of damage to the unit when accessing the battery compartment.
2. The location and orientation of the on/off/volume knob, specifically the right side, causes the right unit to be inadvertently activated when the unit is folded for storage. Thus draining the batteries in that unit between uses. This has happened twice.
3. The function of the unit during the first use was good. All subsequent uses have seen a severe decline in quality of the electronics of the unit. My unit crackles and pops. The other gentleman's does not work at all and he feels that he gets very little protection.
4. The actually Db reduction is somewhat suspect.
That all said, a friend has one of the other, more expensive models, that he is happy with thus far. I really don't know if I'm willing to give this company more of my money in hopes that there is light ahead. I really hope this helps everyone who is considering this model.
Caveat emptor!
