I borrowed a set of these from a friend a few months ago and after seeing how affordable they were on Amazon decided to buy a set. They are my go-to range ear protection now. I shoot in a 7-bay indoor range which can be pretty loud when you get a .308 shooting next lane over. These do a decent job at suppressing the noise but where they really shine is in amplification of standard level sounds. I can carry on a conversation with the guy next to me at the range instead of having to raise my voice and ask people to constantly repeat things. I still use in-ear plugs while wearing these for better suppression, but with these turned on and up, I have no problem talking normally with someone while being protected from the .308 rounds nearby.
