I use both the Walkers razor XV version with bluetooth and the Walkers rechargeable electronic ear plugs, and like them.

Jack, if you have your heart set on electronic ear muffs then I certainly don't want to talk you out of it, however, have you considered moulded ear plugs? These are available as a "do it yourself" kit from EBay as I recollect. It comes as a two part mixture, rather like epoxy does, and costs around 10 bucks. You do it your self. It takes about 15 minutes. It moulds to your ear, each ear individually, and lasts for years. A pair is very small.
I have two pairs, in separate bags. One for skeet shooting and one for rifle/pistol shooting. They attenuate gunshots extremely well as they completely fill the ear canal.

I have been using custom molded plugs for a long time. I lost one out of the first pair, then bought a second pair. I think they cost me $75-100. The guy that fit them to me is local, which doesn’t help you much.

I did buy a pair of electronic Walker’s, but they don’t have Bluetooth. They were on sale for maybe $130 from GrabAGun. I haven’t used them yet.

I haven’t been able to keep up with things obviously, so I shy away from the really expensive ones.

My tinnitus has been bad many, many years. I’m 43, but expect it will only get worse.


Edit to add and I will update once I try them:

I bought some walker on sale at academy for $38 yesterday. My cousin used them and he liked them.

All the electronic ones are rated 23-25.

Simple foam plugs are rated 30-32.

I use both - foam and electronic/regular ear plugs at the range.
