I have a set of Walkers electronic ear plugs. I think they are the $300 dollar version. Although I haven't worn them hunting, they work great for all other uses I've put them to (cutting wood, patterning shotguns, cutting the grass, etc.)...except when I am talking it becomes hard to tell how loud I'm speaking and it is difficulty to carry on conversations. My wife solved the issue by telling me to not talk any more. Problem solved. But seriously, they work well blocking harmful noise AND allowing me to hear other sounds. I may try them hunting. I don't shoot that much, but over time, I know it takes a toll.

same here - Walker silencers - i had a set of custom fitted shooting aids - haven't seen them since the batteries went dead on a clays shoot and I put them in my pocket

so, i got the walkers version - into the third season with them and wear them for both waterfowl and uplands - I really like them, wind noise isn't an issue, I think they work as well as the over a grand custom ones BUT- no batteries - the case recharges them when you put them away- I plug the USB cable from the case into the truck dash every few hunts and have never had them die on me.
