Many of today's shooters have lost a portion of their hearing, as gun blasts have a cumulative effect that gets worse over time. The Browning Midas electronic hearing protection employs the latest technology to protect your ears, with a design that reduces sharp noises while amplifying normal speech and sounds. The Midas features a fast reaction time of 6 milliseconds, along with on/off volume controls for when you're not shooting. Plus, the protection lasts throughout your hunting excursion, as the Midas runs for 100 to 120 hours on a single set of AA batteries.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I wanted electronic hearing protection with as much noise reduction level as possible... as I recall these offer 28db vs. 19db for many of them. You can hear perfectly (or better than that) when things are quiet, but as soon as the shooting starts, it shuts down and works great. In fact, just racking my slide would be enough to shut it down, so it is very sensitive to protecting my hearing.
I can't imagine that the $300 muffs could be very much better. Very pleased.
