I've been shopping for some hearing protection/amplification to use during hunting season. I stumbled across these while flashlight shopping. They work very well and are generally quite comfortable. When I wear them for extended periods, I do experience some discomfort where the tab tucks into my ear. Of course I amwearing them for extended periods (something I did not do with the expandable foam earplugs.
I keep them on my truck, because I never know when I may need them. I have not tried them for shooting yet, but I do use them every time I'm in the shop. They have protected my hearing as advertised while using a drill press, router, various grinders and saws, an impact wrench and for extended periods driving a tractor. I am able to leave them in and carry on normal conversation without removing them between noisy tasks. That means that the plugs and my ears stay much cleaner, because I am not continuelly removing and re-inserting them. I do experience a slightly muffled/underwater type of sensation when I first put them in, but I don't notice it after a while. I prefer them over a box of squishy foam plugs. I will still keep the squishys on hand for guests, but I am sold on these. Well worth the price.

I'm a musician and do a lot of gigs. So I'm a bit picky when it comes to earplugs.I've used foam earplugs for a long time. I didn't like them that much, because they block most of the high frequencies and you hear an altered version of the sound onstage. I tried these surefire earplugs and the difference in sound was amazing. I prefer the more natural sound I hear through these new earplugs. Although I should add that these earplugs are not as comfortable as the foam ones I used in the past.

I bought these based on a friend's recommendation. I am a musician so I am around loud sound systems quite a bit. THese earplugs are an affordable way to protect my hearing without blocking the sound completeley. THye also have a plug that can be used to block more or less sound. I am happy with the EP3's and would recommend them based on the price alone.

Comments about Surefire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders Earpieces (Medium, Clear, 1 Pair):
I'm a drag racer and also ride a Harley and the noise and wind is damaging to the ears. I've tried many different styles of ear plugs, none of which worked very well. At first, I thought what I read about these was hype, but worth the try. Not only do they work, they fit perfectly, stay in place, and are even comfortable. I highly recommend these for all motorsports!

Comments about Surefire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders Earpieces (Medium, Clear, 1 Pair):
I use these in the metal shop and they work perfectly. The sounds of the grinders and ventilation system are muted but I can still hear people speaking clearly. Fit is excellent and they are decidedly more comfortable than standard foam earplugs.

Comments about Surefire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders Earpieces (Medium, Clear, 1 Pair):
I love these things. They take a little bit of fiddling to get just right, but once you figure out how to put them in they are amazing. So comfortable and do a great job blocking some of the noise. If you have trouble with these, try twisting the in ear part a little to get the right fit. You'll know when they are working.

Cons
Best Uses
- Range
Comments about Surefire EarPro EP3 Sonic Defenders Earpieces (Medium, Clear, 1 Pair):
I purchased a pair of these to use at the range since I'm not too fond of the .50 cent disposable sponge ones.
Anyway, just received my pair today and so far so good. Fits perfectly and it immediately creates a seal when worn properly unlike sponge ear plugs.
I'll change my rating to 5 stars once I try them out at the range and see (or hear) that it does what it says it can do.
