Reddit reviews Mpow 035 Noise Reduction Safety Ear Muffs, Shooters Hearing Protection Ear Muffs, Adjustable Shooting Ear Muffs, NRR 28dB Ear Defenders for Shooting Hunting Season, with a Carrying Bag- Black

Ok. The Active sound cancellation, simply put, emits sound waves to cancel out sound waves. It's possible that there is a bleeding, if you will, of low frequencies and that's what might be giving you a headache.

If you want to avoid a headache you could try to use a pair of these with some standard ear buds and achieve the same effect.

Noise isolation is pretty much identical to the Earpods. It's too bad... I wish they made in-ear Airpods... I've even considered making a silicone cover that makes them go into the ear canal more, but then they wouldn't fit in the charging case. For the most part, it isn't horrible, but it's still a part of using them.

That said, a couple things you might not know...

• Airpods are slightly larger than Earpods. For me, that means they fit my ears better.
  
• Since they don't have the weight of the cable, they stay in my ears much better than Earpods. They're so light, I can even tilt my head to the side without them falling out. Pretty much the only thing that makes them fall out unexpectedly is taking off a tight-neck t-shirt while they're in my ears.
  
• Most bluetooth (even with Apt-X) headphones will split the BT signal when you activate the microphone, giving you low quality audio in both directions. With Airpods, you get high quality in both. I've done tests, and the people I've talked to have always been able to hear me loud and clear. I really wish the mic quality was talked about more with them... it's a huge selling point.
  
• As has been said, their audio quality is excellent. If you're in a quiet room, they sound absolutely gorgeous.
  
• Because there's no noise isolation, though, my worst experience was trying to listen to podcasts on a plane. That said, I do woodworking and use ear muffs for protection from the loud saws, etc... if you have an over-the-ear pair, they fit over the Airpods (at least, they do for me) without any issue. You end up with amazing sound + noise protection.
  
  YMMV, of course.

If you're still looking for a solution, you should try [these](https://www.amazon.com/d /B01L1U9L5W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RnvMAb1TJBH9D). I use them in my college's library because people don't understand the concept of silence.

1. Rows instead of groups. You get less interaction with rows so there is less off task behavior
   

• Buy a couple ear protection earmuffs for like $10 bucks each. I have students who are really chatty wear them when they are working to keep them on task.
  
• If your race is an issue, then you need to show an appreciation for their cultural things.
  
• Drop the level of instruction. Cover something they should already know but don't (not forever, just until you get the class under control). Students misbehave more when they are struggling with the material.
  
• Have more things be about completion than ability. It encourages the students to do work, and once they are working its easy to increase rigor.
  

Most rifles today will come with a Breech Lock (also called a Cable Lock) which is really padlock to secure the gun.

As an example -

There are also Trigger Locks, but as I said, you will get a free Breech Lock with the gun -

A box of ammunition -

A good place to start is with CCI Standard (50 rounds per box, 1070fps). If that has trouble pushing the bolt back in a reliable way (though it works fine for me) then switch to CCI Mini-Mag (50 or 100 rounds per box, 1235fps). Later you can work out what ammo you like best.

CCI Standard are a lot easier on the ears.

Ear Plugs -

There are several types, some are just foam plugs you put in your ears. I don't personally like those, but they are super cheap. One step up would be the same plugs on a String that you can hang around your neck.

Allen is a maker of Gun Cases, and I know Walmart has them. Get a case that will accommodate a Scope should you decide to add one later -

Also a Cleaning Kit -

I cheaped out and got the most minimal kit. Far better to buy one of the better ones that come with a case, and various attachments. It may seem like a lot, but the price is low, and likely you will end up spending more money if you don't get the full kit -

You will need some type of Eye Protection. If you wear glasses that's fine, good enough. Otherwise common Safety Glasses -

https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/shooting-glasses/_/N-1100231/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_103923180

I'm using various website simply for the Photos and Prices, everything listed here is very common, and Ear Plugs and Safety Glasses can be bought at places like Home Depot (and similar).

Walmart likely has all this stuff in their Store.

Again, buy the full cleaning kit with a case. I bought the most minimum .22 Caliber Kit, and then had to find a case. With all the running around trying to find a case for the kit, then when I started adding accessories, I ended up spending more than just buying the full cleaning kit outright. Walmart will have several brands of Full kits like the example above. Just make sure it includes .22 Cal, and you are set. Very reasonably priced.

I bought ear muffs designed for ear protection while shooting guns to use while I blend smoothies. Now I wear them when I vacuum, or when I’m cooking with the hood fan on.

10/10 purchase. I bought them because the noise-cancelling headphones I bought were shit and I couldnt afford the real “good ones.” Ear muffs were like $12 here

Edit: oh I should also say: I started crying when I was cat sitting a cat that meowed loudly. I only had to be there for like 30ish min every other day. I fucking hated it. I then was heartbroken when I learned my newly adopted cat meows and I was afraid I wouldn’t love him and would be miserable (he’s not as bad as the other cat tho, I’m used to it now, and I manage his feeding and attention/snuggles to minimize it). A barking dog would be a huge no for me.

I too am autistic. When I want / need silence and can't just walk away, I will just layer up.

You might want to look at these, and just put them over top of even some cheap (or nice) in ear headphones.

If you are going to go with something over $100, try to get something with an MMCX connector so you can replace the cable if it gets snagged.

Are you at an alleviated risk of home invasion? Bad area, owe money to someone, high risk job, etc? If not, don't ask for a loaner. You've been fine for X years, you'll be fine for another year...probably.


>acquire safety equipment, a safe, etc.... and eventually get to buying a gun.

How much extra stuff are you planning on getting before getting the gun?

Are you legally required to store the weapon in a safe or are you getting one due to wife/kids?

"safety equipment" are glasses and hearing protection. Glasses are <$10 off Amazon or a few bucks at any hardware store, hearing protection can also be a few bucks at any hardware store or $12 for decent over ear off Amazon. All in your "safety equipment" should be less than $20. You can upgrade later.

The safe is a harder question, if you are legally required to have one then I don't know what the cost might be. If you're worried about the weapon being stolen, well then you'll need to drop a few hundred on a real safe. If you just need to keep it out of the hands of kids/make the wife feel better about it being locked up then an cheapish Stack-On safe will work This one normally goes on sale for $75-90 fairly often. If someone WANTS to get into it, they will. But it will keep dumb children and unhappy wives out.

If you just want one for general safety, fuck it. Get a $10 trigger guard.

What kind of gun are you wanting? If you just want SOMETHING for HD, then a $100 Hi-Point will do the job. You want a rifle to learn on, $125-150 for a Ruger 10/22 fits the bill perfectly. You don't need a $1,100 1911 for HD, you don't need a $1,500 AR to learn how to shoot a rifle. Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it won't fit your current needs.

These or similar help me at home and at work. No music, just considerably quieter and no echoes of every little noise.

I have bought 4 pairs like these over the years, in part because friends kept borrowing or stealing them. Worth their weight in silence:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L1U9L5W

On one pair I used a paint pen to write “GO AWAY” and “FUCK OFF” over alternate ears so I could tailor the message.

Just buy these or something similar and you'll be fine.

And use a pair of nice in ear headphones.


Budget and works great.

I'm already nearly deaf in my right ear, I don't want to lose what I have left. People who ignore hearing protection warnings really need to reconsider going to a race at all.

I mean come on, ear plugs are like 35 cents. There's no excuse for not using them, unless you dropped them somewhere or something.

And here's some ear muffs. Nice, cheap, effective. Not really any reason to not try to protect your hearing.

I double up with foam and these over the ears:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L1U9L5W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wasn't sure how much i'd be into this hobby, so I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on noise-cancelling electronic muffs. I sorted by highest customer rating on Amazon and they are awesome for the price. Come in a protective sleeve.

I love these as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RMFGGY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got them for everything - motorcycle riding, shooting, needing peace and quiet. If you don't like hard foam plugs or they are uncomfortable, I highly recommend these.

I hear this depending on the CRT.

1. Clean your ears.
   
2. Use ear plugs or ear muffs.

   I recommend muffs since you can easily take them off to listen to your opponent when you need to hear stage bans.

If you just want to block sound, gun safety muffs are pretty good. Here's the pair I own https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L1U9L5W/

I've generally found that an isolating IEM + a pair of noise reduction safety earmuffs is untouchable from an isolation standpoint. I suspect a similar set up with a KZ earphone will be superior to ANC.

So I hadn't seen that video before and LOL, great visual.

Here's an idea.. in-ears!! You can get custom-fit IEMs for all day comfort and superior isolation for $300-$800 nowadays. Or some very nice and very comfortable universals for even less.

You could wear those underneath some basic comfortable ear-muffs like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L1U9L5W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IhSDDbB960SVB

I'm guessing you'd get about 25-30db reduction EACH.

Fuck white noise, fuck fancy headphones. Buy some earplugs and ear-pro used for shooting. Put the earplugs in (correctly FFS) then put the ear-pro on and suddenly you're deaf, tada! Total $18.74

something like this https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Reduction-Professional-Protection-Adjustable/dp/B01L1U9L5W/

Not real headphones, but just something to block out noise.

Hope it helps :) And even if it doesn't, it shows you're listening to him and trying to help find a solution
