Favored by law enforcement, military, and shooters across the globe, the Peltor Tactical 6-S active volume hearing protector features an outstanding noise reduction rating of 19 dBA. Assisted by an electronic vent, the hearing protector will reduce hazardous impulse noises from firearms to harmless levels within 5 milliseconds. By localizing weak sounds and attenuating impulse sounds, it saves you from having to scan the entire horizon every time someone shouts your name. It also features stereo-simulated sound reproduction for real-life directional sound at a lower volume. This hearing protector has easy-to-use volume control and a padded stainless steel headband for comfort. The 6-S is also equipped with a separate microphone, receiver, amplifier and volume control in each cup. It is powered by four 1-1/2-volt, long-life AAA batteries for more than 200 hours of service.Customer Review: Not bad for the price.
They work as described but get hot after a while. Also the batteries are pain to put in/change out.
Customer Review: I don't usually review items but I feel I must this time
I purchased model 97044 Peltor hearing protector based largely on the reviews I read here. This is quite possibly the worst hearing protection I have ever used. I wrote this unit off as a lemon or part of a bad batch. However, I was at my local shooting range this past weekend when a gentleman approached me because he noticed that I was wearing the same brand that he had. We compared notes and realized that we both had the same issues. They are as follows. 1. The battery location and replacement procedure is ill considered and lends itself to the possibility of damage to the unit when accessing the battery compartment. 2. The location and orientation of the on/off/volume knob, specifically the right side, causes the right unit to be inadvertently activated when the unit is folded for storage. Thus draining the batteries in that unit between uses. This has happened twice. 3. The function of the unit during the first use was good. All subsequent uses have seen a severe decline in quality of the electronics of the unit. My unit crackles and pops. The other gentleman's does not work at all and he feels that he gets very little protection. 4. The actually Db reduction is somewhat suspect. That all said, a friend has one of the other, more expensive models, that he is happy with thus far. I really don't know if I'm willing to give this company more of my money in hopes that there is light ahead. I really hope this helps everyone who is considering this model. Caveat emptor!
