I’m needing a backup set and was looking at ear buds this morning. I’d like to hear what others recommend too. I was looking at the brands Glory fire and Act fire.

I bought a pair of Axil Ghost Strykes. I’ve hunted pheasants in them extensively, talked on the phone, listen to music/podcast, used solely as earplugs, you name it. I really like them. Axil ear buds. Pawnee, in the tractor/combine you can’t beat em. Answer and hang up phone calls without touching the phone.

If you find a good one especially if they don't cost 200 dollars I am very interested .
I worked a match for 5 hours yesterday and my over the ear electronics even with the gel cups installed press my ears into the bows of my glasses and they get sore after hours.
also with summer matches coming up they get hot

Try Decibulz percussive filters. They are non electrinic and are the best thing I've ever worn for all day shooting. (But probably not the best for the OPs situation)

(But probably not the best for the OPs situation) I have tried the sure fire version of the percussive filters , I find on indoor ranges I would need to close the little valves it is just so loud , often double up. have you tried those how do they compare with the Decibulz? I wear my electronic muffs often with my radians custom molded epoxy under I want to hear as I am often working as an RO yet still be able to take the electronics off for a break from the pressure on my head before the molded epoxy it was foam disposables an in ear electronic would be really nice I may have to just give in and spend the $$$

I have read that plugs will not adequately protect hearing from the noise generated by centerfire firearms. Muffs are needed to protect the inner ear from vibrations transmitted through bone surrounding the ear. I don't know if that is true or not, but I wear plugs and muffs when at the range. The combined reduction in decibels makes me more comfortable especially when shooting at a covered range. Also, I occasionally remove my muffs while waiting for my rifle barrel to cool between shots and then forget to put them back on. In those situations the plugs really help save my hearing. I generally use Walker electronic muffs. yes the exact numbers vary some some sources say 110 others 120 or higher this is DOD 's statement Sounds are measured in decibels, or dB. With extended or up-close exposure, noises that reach 85 decibels or higher can cause permanent damage to the cilia, or hair cells, in the inner ear, leading to permanent hearing loss. Keep in mind that exposure to sounds higher than 110 decibels can cause instantaneous hearing loss.
Levels and sources of damaging noise include:
85 – 100 decibels: For example, a hair dryer, blender, power lawn mower, forklift, or subway train 100 – 120 decibels: For example, a bulldozer, impact wrench, or motorcycle 120 – 140 decibels: Such as, a rock concert, auto racing, or a hammer pounding a nail 125 – 155 decibels: Like, firecrackers or fireworks, or a jet engine 170 – 190 decibels: For example, a shot gun blast or a rocket lift off if your in a 150+ environment with 30db protection , yes doubling up is a good idea. another reason we should have tax stamp free suppressors , it is for the health of everyone
