Review by Rich Walton : Rating Pro Ears Ultra 333

I've used Pro Ears products for years and have found them to be the highest quality and the electronic models ( I use a Stalker 'Gold') are second to none. Their technology is far more advanced than other electronic models I've seen and I've compared them all. I use my Ultra 33's for indoor shooting and I've had my current set for over 5 years. I just bought another set for my girl friend. The noise protection is awesome, the headband is adjustable and comfortable and the ear seals are 100% more comfortable than the vinyl plastic used by other brands. If I had to give up my Pro Ears, I would probably stop shooting. Also, customer service is top notch. I've have my Stalkers reconditioned for a small fee and they were done quickly and returned to me within a week. I also bought a set of Pro Slims but decided, when I got them, I would rather have another color. I called the plant, got a return number shipped my current set back and they sent me the color I wanted. No questions, no hassles, just took care of me. The Ultra 33 carries a 1 Year Warranty but I know if something were to break, the company would take care of me. Outstanding product, great customer service.

Review by Michael McCord : Nice but had a problem with durability

I bought a couple of the Amazon, and the adaptation of noise reduction and comfort. However, after two years of usage in the light of the beam plastic hinge broke where it connects to the headband. With a bite "small, people in customer service sent me a new banner, even though I was out of warranty for one year (exact exchange, $ 16 value), so I'm back in business. I bought these headphones to counter the noise children and television while working on my MBA and it works much better than $ 350 -. pair of Sennheiser noise phones are grateful for 'Pro' s customers good service, but prudent to give more than three stars because of the issue of sustainability.

Review by Carole L. Glickfeld "lover of literature" : surprisingly effective

My problem is that a light rail station and tunnel are being constructed within two blocks of where I live. Right now they're in the driving steel piles into the ground phase, a noise that sounds like two pipes being clanged together 1/4" from my ear. The earmuffs don't totally eliminate the noise but they mute it so that it sounds almost like distant traffic noise. The leather cups make it possible (but not truly comfortable) to sleep on (I sleep on my side). In short, they have saved my sanity. What's odd is that I can hear a radio next to me if it's turned up (I don't understand the physics of this) but barely hear the construction noise that destroyed my sleep.

Review by Keko "Keko" : Altus Brands, Llc Pro Ears Ultra Nrr 33

To:
1) They work very well. I have used cluster munitions in 0357 and a Ruger GP100 warm the noise level was much lower than ear protectors I've used. 357 ammo is very strong ... For info.
2) The skin is especially nice.
3) The finish is very good.

The Ugly:
1) They are physically HUGE. Ideal for handguns ... probably does not work well for the arms because of the size. They take a lot of space in my bag on the ground.
2) I have a big head (7 and 1 / 2). The upper band is sized for a small head ... not too bad though.

I recommend and buy again. I have high standards, so the 3 stars. I got exactly what I expected to get.

PS-The seller I used was great: fast shipment and well packaged.

Review by salute_to_veterans : tops in noise suppression and customer service

I use these when working with electrical equipment. I recently started listening to my MP3 in the sleeves during mowing. I wonder what they say when they see the smile on my face. It "has completely changed my attitude toward the material power of the noise. Music is a pretty low volume and I can not believe I'm working on, for example, a motor short-inch chain echo of my head. Noise reduction with a high comfort but adjustable, comfortable fit.

Acquisition of a year and a half ago. The group broke out recently when the yoke holding the connecting sleeves. Customer service sent a repair / replacement. The answer almost instantly, is that even if the warranty has expired, has assembled a new group with no shipping cost. Easy to install. Exceptional customer service.
