The less expensive electronic muffs simply shut off the signal from the mic when the decibel level exceeds a given threshold. The more advanced ones (e.g. MSA's) process even loud sounds and reduce them to an acceptable decibel level.
This is exactly correct. The cheapies create a stutter effect if there is a lot of shooting during conversation.

Whatever you choose make sure you have a rating of at least 26db for an outdoor range and 30db for an indoor range. If that's not doable then consider plugs under the muffs.
