I received this set of ear muffs at no cost to me in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
The first and most important aspect of these ear covers is how comfortable they are. I have had ear plugs and other ear muffs for various things but most importantly the gun range. With all of these there was an issue with stability or most often comfort after a few minutes. Once in the range you cannot just take off your ear protection because it hurts unless you want to get yelled at or tossed.
Not only did I use them and find them super comfortable so did my younger sister. Having these is what gave her peace of mind enough to join us at the range. She basically declared that they are hers now. That's how effective she found them to be and how positive her experience was.
They seal great around the ears and they have a nice layer of cushion around the head band. As far as comfort goes it's way above any expectations. They designed them to have plenty of cushion at the point of contact with your head and each ear protector is on a 360 degree swivel so it will easily find a comfortable resting place next to your head. I do not have official readings or anything but I know they were really helpful at reducing noise from my surroundings and even the gun range.
Aesthetically I really like the color combination and design. The best part is that the ear parts slide into the headband to reduce the space needed to store them.
One of my few issues is that they are made only to wear one way, by this I mean vertically. The problem with that is you cannot easily wear any headgear over it. I tried putting the ear protectors and my hard hat but the headband would get in the way of the hard hat. So I tried to put the on horizontally and that works but it doesn't seal well or as comfortable as vertically. It would be nice if there was a way to rotate the band 90 degrees.
Considering it for what it is and what it is intended for I would have to rate it 5/5, compared to all my previous ear protection I would rate it 5/5. Although being aware there is more expensive and more thoroughly design sets out there that I have seen I would give this set a 4.5/5
