[QUOTE="osupoke, post: 3374888, member: 18400"] I have some Pro Ears Gold electronic muffs. They were about $300 when I got them several years ago. As I remember from my research back then, the extra money gets you a few things. One is called “attack time” I think; it means the electronic valve activates much more quickly than on cheaper models. You may not be able to tell the difference; it’s probably measured in thousandths of a second. However, it can still be meaningful in terms of hearing protection. Also, the on-board circuitry is more advanced. If you and I were talking and someone fired a round next to us, the pro ears will muffle the shot and leave our conversation uninterrupted. Cheaper models will cut everything out once the electronic valve has been actuated (or so I’m told; I went straight to the Pro Ears when I went electronic). [/QUOTE]
