I have had a couple of different models over the years. I currently use the Peltor Tactical 6S (behind the head) model.

The only thing that I don't like about them is that battery changes are not the most convenient. Once you get the hang of it, they aren't too bad, but that aspect could be better designed. If you like to be able to wear a hat, you should really consider this "behind the head" style. With 19dB attenuation, the Peltors work fine in the open, but when shooting indoors (or under a real structural ceiling), I usually "double-plug" ... I wear foam plugs with the Peltors on top ... the benefits are additive, so it makes for a nice quiet experience and you can just turn the volume all the way up on the Peltors and you can still hear range commands quite well. Along those same lines, I always have guests that are new to the shooting sports double-plug ... it really adds to their enjoyment and makes a much better first impression.

Hope this helps,
