FSL ($9) vs 3M ($12) - See Pictures, Both offer Great Value!
I wanted a pair of Earmuffs for myself and my 3 years old when I'm working on the yard or using power tools. I was debating between the FSL and 3M since they both cost within my budget. So I ordered both of them to compare. I think they both serve different purpose and here's my report:The FSL:- GREAT value! You kidding me? $9 ??!- Looks Great with metal rods and fabric bridge, soft padding on the under side.- It grip harder than the 3M (see pictures comparison when I test them with a kitchen scale)- Protection-wise (I don't care the dB numbers), it is noticeable better than the 3M but not huge.- the ear piece - it is smooth, so it does make it un-comfy if you sweat a lot after hours.- Why I'm returning the FSL: it's simply a little too tight for me and too bulky, I felt like having two giant balls on my ears. However it is a great Earmuffs in terms of noise reduction. Did I mention I paid $9 for it?!3M Peltor X-Series:- First I really like the Green, it's lighter, smaller, contemporary looking.- it grips nicely, not too tight but well enough to reduce ambiance noise while I can still hear someone talking within 4-6 feet away.- the ear-piece has a mat finish with some texture on them, so it's helps keeping the sweat away.- Why I'm keeping this one: Don't get me wrong, the FSL is great but the 3M is lighter and better in terms of sweat-proof. It's not as tight so I can wear them for a long time. If you want the best protection, get the FSL. For what I'm doing, 3M work better for me. $12 is still a great deal.

Update: Went to the indoor range yesterday and was a little disappointed on how much of the sound came through compared to a pair used from a buddy the previous time we went. Probably use these as a back up.
Good value, but not the greatest for the indoor range

Very comfortable, compact ear muffs for a wide range of uses. Purchased for gun range as primary use, but will use when angle grinder, blowing, drag races etc.Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016

La versione più “comoda” delle Gunblock (grazie all’imbottitura dell’archetto)
