Recommend me some earpro. Looking mainly for plugs.
I've just been using the squishy orange ones for too long now and I feel it's time to treat my ears to some relief.

The best disposables I've found are Howard Leight Max Lite.



I just got a new pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs, they are the friggin' bomb!

Noisebrakers.

Custom fit, around 120 a pair.  Density filter, anything over 85dB is reduced, normal conversation and the like go through just fine.  Designed for heavy equipment operators, shooting, etc.

Double up with muffs over plugs.  Foam is fine for this purpose.

I do this at indoor ranges.  Outside, I usually use surefire earpro.  I want to get some electronic muffs though.

I recommend the SureFire EP series Sonic Defender plugs as a non-disposable option for shooting outdoors:

SureFire Sonic Defenders at MidwayUSA

I see these are also being sold under the SportEar brand now:

SportEar plugs



For indoor use and disposables, I recommend the Remington-branded soft foam green plugs available at Wally-world. Similar to these:

Soft plugs

I wear plugs every day. Not for work, but for guitar practice. I like to FEEL the music, so I play my tube amps loud (and they sound better loud). I started getting tinitus several years ago and when I started wearing plugs it mostly went away.

Anyways... I'd like to find some nice plugs that cut a lot of the constant volume down, but that still retain the crisp presence in the EQ. And a good fit and longevity would be nice too. Anyone got any ideas?

I use the surefire EP3's as well, and love them.

More recently, I've been shooting suppressed Lot more fun, lot more expensive though...

Might check Westone.  They make a couple variants of Musician Plugs.

Surefire....
Come in different sizes, super comfy, and you can get the adapter to run speaker/mic directly into it....
