    I use muffs both in the shop and at the shooting range. I don't find that they slip off too easily unless you make a very sudden move. I have 2 pair the cheaper set was $2 at HF and seems to quiet better then the more expensive set. In the shop I feel either is more than enough protection. Lately I've been thinking of a set of electronic muffs for the range but have not pulled the trigger on that purchase yet.(pun intended)
    Opinions are like gas;
    I don't mind hearing it, but keep it to yourself if it stinks.

      Hey there, JSUPreston, here's the loggers helmet and shield that you were looking for. http://www.elvex.com/head-face-ear.htm Looks like $38 - $40 depending on what you want in the way of features.

        Has anyone tried the Muffs with a radio in them? A/O Work tunes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&s=hi&v=glance) I'm debating going with these and then use a FM transmitter made for sending audio (iPod or whatnot) to your car radio. People seem to like them for mowing the lawn, etc. Right now I use the Orange foam plugs. I learned from a father who was a general contractor and lost most of his high end hearing from circular saws and routers.
        Thats a killer idea. I wanted something like this but I was looking for Ear Muff / Noise Cancelling / Wireless Headphones. Using your suggestion I could use these, and use FM transmitter in Sirius satellite received to transmit. Wonder what the distance is on the Sirius or IPOD type transmitters. Ok, going to test now . . .

          That is so awesome. I feel so stupid for not thinking of it!
          Parked car with hood facing garage instead of backing in (cutting about 4-5 ft of transmission space. Car through steel garage door into shop (ie garage) with radio about 5 ft in from door. Total distance 12 ft or so, through metal door. Sound reception on 88.1 from Sirius transmitter is PERFECT! Dude, you just saved me $50 as I now do not need a home kit!
          Thanks!

          I am also going to get the WorkTunes. I could listen to Sirius at the gym by parking car near enterance and wearing these things.

            Take the advice of a guy who now has to use electronic ears, just use something, anything at all to protect your hearing. Hearing aids are a very poor subsitute for the original equipment.

              Except when being nagged/cussed out, then you just turn around and shut them off![)]
