Currently, I'm using an old pair of Silencio's. Had'em since the late '80's. Microphone, volume control, and 9v battery on each ear. It's time to upgrade.
Seems the most popular electronic ear protectors are the Pro Ears. I just completed LFI-1 and had a chance to play with a pair of Gentex Wolf Ears (wasn't on the range, tho). I really like the Gentex idea of having one switch and one battery.
For those of you who have used both (Gentex Wolf Ears/Pro Ears) I'd like to ask some questions comparing the two:
1 - Is one better than the other for detecting the direction a sound is coming from?
2 - Does one amplify sounds better than the other? The Gentex has three modes: off, regular and amplified (with adjustable gain for each ear). Is the Gentex in amplified mode (with gain at max) as good as the Pro Ears with the volume cranked all the way up?
