    Electric ears

    Does anyone here know a good supplier for electronic hearing protection?

    Looking for good quality but not necessarily Peltor lol.

    I may have a few people interested in a bulk order if we can find the right price/supplier.

    Alternatively, I would be keen to grab some second hand ones if someone wants to re-home a pair?

    Cheers.

    Howard Leight Impact Sport. They're $US40 on Amazon. The most cost effective method is to get 5 for $NZ380 including shipping to NZ. Comes out at $NZ76 each

    Got a pair and really happy with them, will check tomorrow but pretty sure they were what stretch said. Got them off someone on here that ordered to pairs, can't remember who (must buy to much from this bloody forum!)

    I will find out what ones my brother uses. I use Howard Leights but his are much better again. But his were also quite a bit dearer.....

    I tried a pair of peltor slim ones. Can't remember the model, but they wouldn't seal properly around my ears. I have big ears but not overly huge.
    It's something to keep in mind if your well endowed.....

    Not a fan of the howard lites.

    I have gone through three pairs but found they dont sit flush on my ears and are a lot noisier then my new ones that have jell cups.

    these where a lot more expensive tho

    will cheek brand when i am home
