    I have a pair of Peltor "Protac shooter"

    I really like the voice in the headset that tells you the power is on or off.The adjustments are audible in the head set as well.
    After breaking a few sets of cheaper electronic muffs,I sprang for a expensive set.Well worth the money.

    The Sorbins seem to fit your needs James,
    Great for hunting and shooting with a few mates with suppresors on.
    I have found they let in a but much noise with the bigger guns for my liking, still 100x better than the Howard leights.
    The Peltor Tacs are also very good.
    I'm pretty careful these days and find the Peltor grade 5 muffs getting used more and more.

    I've got a pair of Howard Leights and a set of Petor ProTac or tactical pro or something grade 5.

    Long story short, Howards are crap, Peltors are awesome. I can wear them beside anything with muzzle brakes including 50cal and have no problems. My Howards are just used around the house when nailing etc.
