Being a shooter and a woodworker, I'm around loud noise all the time. I had some of the electronic muffs so I could use the power tools and still hear the radio, but I wanted more quiet and finally replaced them with some 3M non-electronic muffs that Lowes and Home Depot sell (about $30). They have a noise reduction rating of 33. I can still hear the music in my workshop, which is a good thing, though I guess they wouldn't be the thing for shooting competition. I had a buddy over shooting and he had the old electronic muffs and I had the one pair of the real quite ones. At some point we switched and he shot once and turned to me and said, "holy cow, such a difference in the noise reduction". There is a huge difference. I just got a second pair of those 'good' ones yesterday.
