Looking to replace our old Peltor Tactical 7 Classics I have recently bought a set of these Supreme Pro Xs and a set of 3M Peltor TacticalPros. These are the clear winner between the two, though the TacticalPros aren't too shabby while being about eighty five dollars cheaper. The winning margin comes from the natural quality of the sound in these Supreme Pro Xs. The Peltor TacticalPros surprisingly have worse sound quality than the many years old Tatical 7s we have. They have some white noise and they under-amplify the lower frequencies. With these Supreme Pro Xs I feel like I am in the here and now, while with the TacticalPros I feel like I'm somewhat removed. Funny how sound can have that effect, but it does.
The lower noise reduction rating on these doesn't make any difference to me. With all ear muffs I also wear a pair of Etymotic Research ER20XS-SMF-P High-Fidelity Earplugs if shooting indoors, and these are fine without double protection when shooting outdoors. So no difference to me between the protection provided by these or the Peltors.
I have seen some folks express concern with changing batteries in these Pro Xs so one of the first things I did was put in then take out the batteries. I didn't have any problem. A jolt or two brought down the "hidden" battery. (If you get a pair this should make sense.)
