+1 I have the Howard Leight Impact Sports which are a bit less than $50 and they work as well as my $200+ Pro Ears. I've converted to wearing them full time due to the narrower profile plus the batteries last longer (300 vs. 200 hrs) and are easier to find (AAA's vs. N-type). Search around as prices vary but <$50 should be easy.
Those electronic Howard Leight muffs are a great value. My only complaint is they're not as comfortable as my Peltor electronic muffs I bought years ago but the Peltor was 3-4x the price. The Leights are good for normal range trips but get uncomfortable when I do a multi-day class. Other than the fit issue, which is very subjective and personal, I highly recommend them and they're what I normally take to the range.

I should get another pair when I do my next Amazon order because the active electronics are great for new shooters. Shots and other loud noises are muffled but I can coach them in a quiet calm voice instead of shouting like a DI to get through standard muffs. :lol:
