I have seen some people using earbuds while shooting and want to try some out. I was curious what recommendations you have. Also what affects have they had on your shooting.
Thanks in advance!

I have been using axil gs extreme 2.0 for 2 years now. As well as my wife, my dad, and a shooting buddy.
My best friend returned his in the first week. He could not get them to fit his ear correctly.
And 2 others I have met in the clay fields have done the same. If the dont fit try another brand.
I have.seen ppl have good luck with the
iso tunes
And the walkers in ear ones.
My only problem with the gs extreme 2.0 is that u have to use the supplied cable. No other cable will charge it.
I wear mine deer, bird, varmint hunting as well.
Wife wears hers when she mows with the tractor.

if you are going to spend the money go to an audiologist and get fit. I use soundgear Phantoms.. they are amazing. I forget I am wearing them sometimes.
I use Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds. If you swap the silicone buds for foam, they seal in your ear similar to foam throwaway plugs. They have Active Noise Canceling and pass through listening, so you can hear people and they’ll mute when a loud sound (gunshot) goes off.
Available at the Bi-Star website, the Bi-Star Audibles are available in 12, 16 and 20 gauge, 7 1/2 shot only.
Contact Bi-Star resident audiologist and part time ball room dance instructor @big kahuna via PM to order.

I use custom made ones made by a Specialist Ear Dr. I had them made many years ago and they are still in good shape. At the time I had them made I think they were $50 and by now they probably would be double that but I think it;s worth it.
I don't like the big plastic ear phone type as they clunk on the buttstock. Prior to getting them I bought a little kit and made my own. Obviously they were not as good but did work pretty good but stuck out a little and finally hardened up.

I use a set of molded earplugs I got from Rod Stumbo. If you’re wanting to listen to music with earplugs in I would recommend the Shokz earbuds. They are bone conductive earbuds and let you listen to anything while your earplugs stay in.

ESP but they’re pricey.

For electronic, I use these:
They work well, have volume controls and use compression rather than cutting off sound when someone shoots, something that drives me nuts.

I second Shokz. You can still wear your ear plugs.
