I'm shopping for some nice active hearing protection for indoor target shooting and looking for recommendations.

Considerations: -Active hearing protection is a must - I want to be able to talk to friends at the range while wearing them. -Over the ear is preferable to in-ear. -Bulk is ok - I don't wear a hat and I'm not shooting the entire day, so a little extra weight or size doesn't bother me. -I primarily shoot handguns, so I'm not super concerned if it interferes with a good cheek weld on rifles/carbines. -Aux inputs or bluetooth don't matter to me. I'm there to shoot, not listen to music. -"Muy tacti-cool" is stupid. They need to be functional, not pretty.

Wow, I looked up the ones I got and it's marked down a ton. I paid $80 for the Walkers that are $40 now.

Apparently all their earmuffs are on sale now. Labor day weekend is good time to buy. As for a review, they feel bulky next to earplugs but what doesn't. Banging up against the stock and such. I prefer my earplugs. For handguns they'd be fine though.

I've been using a set of these:

They're pretty basic, functional, and they're comfortable. They're nice and slim and the pads aren't so stiff that they crush your ear into the temple/earpiece of your glasses. Plus they're cheap, relatively speaking.

Walkers game ears are awesome

Is NRR of 23 adequate? Or is that the passive NRR and the active cancellation provides more? I'd prefer to avoid doubling up on ear plugs + ear muffs.

Just build it up naturally over time, silly. You don't need anything to protect your ears.
