Thread: Recommended electronic earmuffs?

Any recommendations out there for good quality electronic earmuffs?

I've been using the bunnings tactix brand, but those aren't being sold anymore and my current pair are 6 years old and starting to show their age.
What I love about them is their bluetooth capacity to listen to music and take calls, long battery life, and external mic.

What they don't have that I would like is active noise attenuation, where the microphone can be active, but cut out if there is a loud noise. Years ago I got to try a set of muffs that had directional microphones and speakers along with noise cancelling, and that was absolutely amazing - could hear a person walking on gravel in a rain storm with the footfalls being crisp and the rain reduced to a background noise. This' excellent for the range where you can have a conversation but if there's an unexpected shot, the mic cuts out for a split second. I didn't catch the make/model of the pair I tried and I've been searching for them ever since.

So, any recommendations? I'd love to have the bluetooth feature in addition to the noise attenuation and directional mics, but that's a big ask, so mostly looking for a set of muffs that have decent mics/speakers and automatic noise cut-off.



I figure this falls under firearms accessories, but apologies if it's the wrong section.

These will be coming into NZ soon, I have a pair ordered and they look pretty good. You can use them as earphones and are small enough to use while hunting and give the same NRR as standard earplugs while also amplifying sounds.

I'm using Peltor Tactical 7 Classic: automatic noise cut-off, stereo microphones, no bluetooth, etc. they are comfortable and work well. Battery is the 9v type which is easy to replace but seems to have a shortish life.

These would take some beating

The Honeywell sync ones are pretty good. I use them daily and can have phone conversations while running the sawmill/chainsaw or grinder no worries.

Same with my 3m ones can talk on tractor run batten guns etc without any noise to the caller
Not noise canceling though.
