Allen Company Light Weight Low Profile Sound Sensor Hearing Protection, 2320


Cost less than some of the others and due to some strange resonate cavity tech, this thing works pretty well.

Checked it out today, by comparing the Allen unit with my old standard muffs.
They seem to have the same attenuation, but it seems like normal sounds
like voices are less muffled/distorted. I cranked up a radio and listened
to the news with both headsets and neither one let in much sound..

The reviews on the Allen co. units are hit and miss.
It seems like these don't work well for some people, while others think they are great.
I'll have to see how they work with a .357 mag, the upright belt sander and shop vac, before I decide.
