Great Product!
October 29, 2023
As usual, 3M products continue to be far superior to competitors' products, in my experience! This will be my second pair of the Generation 4 plugs. The plugs are very comfortable and the valves are very easy to use, and unlike many other products you do not have to fiddle with putting a plug back into a hole when busy with other activities. They are long-lived, and provide excellent protection from extreme decibel levels (even when you mess up and forget to shut the valve)! Highly recommended!

3M Combat Military Ear Plugs - Gen 4
August 25, 2023
I have used these ear plugs for 10+ years... I love them as they are easy to carry, easy to insert into your ears and provides good sound protection... I am a faithful customer and always have spare ear plugs for friends who forget theirs... and then they are new customers as they like them as well!!!!

Good plugs.

Very comfortable, I wear them for 8 hours or more without getting sore. Good fit, make sure you buy the right size. If you don’t know your size, buy several sizes to be sure. I have used these exclusively for many years.

I first bought 2 pair. I use 1 for the range, pistols to rifles, and one for yard work, chain saw, week eater, blower, and lawn mower. They work great for range noise reduction, plus I can hear range commands and conversations. Work just as well with reducing the gas engine noise for the gas powered equipment. In both cases, while reducing the desired noise, I can still hear well enough to remain aware of my surroundings. I was so impressed, I bought 2 more pair to have in reserve in case I lose a pair. Great quality!

The noise canceled is not nearly as good as stated for the price paid. I feel that the foam inserts are a better deal by far and can be adjusted simply by pulling them out a small amount if need be. In my honest opinion the price is much too high. I will not be telling others in my group to get them.

This model earplug is the best I've ever used and I've basically tried them all. I keep a pair in every gun case I own so I won't accidentally forget them. The only reason I ever repave them is sometimes the cord accidentally pulls out. If they could fix that problem or if it were possible to put the cord back in, they would be absolutely perfect.

These works as described. I bought them to waterfowl hunt with but did not end up using them. So I took them to a qualification and shot prone next to another shooter also shooting an AR. The plug were used with the valve open and the noise reduction was adequate to prevent discomfort. Without these plugs the noise would have been very unpleasant.

These are my new go-to ear plugs for when I go to shoot sporting clays. I can hear passably at conversational levels and they have excellent attenuation of sharp/load noises, blocking out the shotgun blasts extremely well. They stay in my ears much better than the Surefire Ep7s that I was using prior to finding these. The shipping from EarPlugSuperstore was very quick. I would not hesitate to order from heqr again.

Pro: They work well. Tips are replaceable. Con:The sizing is a bit odd, as others have said. For me, the medium is far to small, and the large far too large. Replacement tips fixed that. Con: I cannot adjust the flip thing while in place, but that's a minor issue for me.

The toggle venting actually works. Very nice to have strong cords attached. I'm protected from heavy door slams and high pitched squeaks all day. Thank you.

Great item and works great. Sizes run large. I would recommend buying the size smaller than what you would normally wear.

I am sure glad I got small. They are tight and I did not think my ears were that small.

I was issued my first pair for a year in Afghanistan but lost them on a helo landing zone (so much for dummy cords ....). I bought a pair for my reenactment hobby since they blend in for events and are not as obvious as the dayglo sponges most others use ... perfect for use on a gun crew or musketry ... You cannot beat the price. It only takes once to lose your hearing ...

Bought a pair for my son and I to use shooting sporting clays with 12 gauge. Too darn hot in summertime to use my usual electronic earmuffs. Quite pleased with these as an alternative.
