Sensgard ZEM® SG-31 Natural Sound Banded Hearing Protector (NRR 31)

I'm glad to find this style of hearing protection is still made. My old "Allen" style hearing protectors apparantly aren't made anymore. The Sensgard Zem Banded Hearing Protectors are lightweight, they fold up, and they do a great job of noise supression. I dislike foam ear plugs and ear muff type noise supressors. I use mine at the muzzleloading shooting range, splitting wood, and while vacuuming!

I was very impressed with this product. I used them while working at my blast cabinet and they preformed better then expected. The compressor and vacuum noise was remarkably lowered and I could still hear the radio. I will purchase them again for a spare set.
I highly recommend these.

Can still hear conversation comfortably but really takes the noise level down to very modest level. No problem with fit or staying in place. Had to adjust a couple of times but fit great once dialed in. Very happy vs. other head band type noise protectors.

Great product, very comfortable to wear. Sound blocking is excellent. I would highly recommend these ear protectors.

Both my husband and I really like these for shooting. My husband uses them for trap shooting and likes that he can get his cheek seated better than with regular ear muffs. I use mine for my pistol league and what I like about them is that a lot of the talking behind me is cut down and is less distracting. I haven't used them outside but I hope that in the summer league they won't be as hot on my head as the ear muffs when it is hot and humid.

WILL NOT STAY FITTED ONCE I START WORK DRIVING A FARM TRACTOR, HAVE TO STOP OFTEN TO RE-ADJUST AND CLOSE OUT SOUND.

Work great, in the field, at the range, in the workshop

Works well at rifle range which is what I Purchased this item for. The only reason I gave it 4*s is that I think the cuffs that go in the ear should be a little smaller for better comfort and sound blockage.

I was evaluating employee exposure to jackhammering in a residentual basement. Suiting up in the staging area the last thing to don was hearing protection. At that point I turned to my partner and said "Great. As soon as we suit up, they stop hammering." My partner said they hadn't stopped. Conversation hadn't been affected, but the hammering sound was gone. Inside at 110 dBA peak, it sounded like teaspoon tapping on a concrete surface. Very effective. The only concern is durability. Also, as designed they would interfere with a hardhat.

I use this for 22 LR shooting, and it works well for this level of noise. Higher caliber shooting I prefer electronic ear muffs.

Works well on target range , Spare cuffs and tips would be appreciated as standard.

Nice price/quality product

But these !! Both a pair for me any my son. These plugs are everything advertised. You can hear casual conversations easily, not bulky like ear muffs. They fold compactly for easy storage. My son and I sighted in his 243 and my 30-06, everyone know how loud a 30-06 is, rest assured, once you use these plug you will NOT want to wear anything else. I would suggest to wear the band over the top of your head, otherwise the band will radiate sound from your collar or neck whenever you move your head.

I really like this product. It works well and it's light weight. I love the way it can fold up and fit in my pocket too.

This ultra lightweight hearing protector is a godsend for anyone whose partner has hearing loss and cranked up volume on the tv. It's much more comfortable for me than any of the headsets I've tried - most of which become annoying over time with the weight. I have recommended this product to family members and friends. Yes, the units can break more easily than heavier protectors but they are inexpensive and I'd rather have the light weight. I keep one at work and one in my bag for those bus commutes with loud riders!
