what are the best earmuffs? the pair i have doesn't work well with my glasses.

any recommendation?

In my experience, ear muffs and glasses are not an ideal combination, because the glasses' rigid ear stems prevent the muffs from completing a seal around the ear.

If you can figure out a way to replace the ear stems with an elastic band, this will help a lot.

If you have the funds EAR Inc makes great electronic ear plugs. However, to answer your question I found that looking for safety glassess with flat or thin non rigid ear stems work best. It maybe cheaper to change your glass frames if you use prescrition glasses or find a different pair of safety glasses.

I used Dillon's collapsible electronic ear muffs for years and they worked very well. When my first pair quit working on one side I sent them back to Dillon and I got a new pair sent to me at no charge. Great company to do business with. Use Dillon for reloading as well. Commercial is now over.

Try these

I don't EVEN want to think about the guff I would get from my buddies and the staff showing up in a pair of those at the range.

How about neckband behind the ear band muffs?

I have tried several types of ear muffs and finally ended up with a pair of Howard Light-Impact Sport. They are a little pricey, but I am hard of hearing and with regular ear muffs I can not hear if someone is trying to talk to me, and with these I can with the volume control.

What are you talking about?......Real Men can wear pink.

I like Dan20703's muffs, and the lip gloss isn't bad either.

You can find these at Acadamy for $25 or so. The Leightnings are the best I've found and they still work pretty well with glasses.

You also might want to look at your glasses and get a pair that has the arms close into your temple. Your glasses frame may be too wide and that is what is pulling your muffs open. The arms do cause a small opening regardless but the Leightning muff pads are flexible enough to overcome most of it. I guess that's why they cost a bit more than the cheap ones.

I'm sure you've thought of all that but it never hurts to bring it up.

Cabellas has Leightnings on sale every now and then for $19.99. They work well.

Another fan of Howard Leight products here. Have a pair of Leightnings as well as a bucket of in the ear foamies from them for back-up (double up, guests, people who forget ear protetion, etc).

I own both Leights and Peltors. Both provide excellent noise cancelling properties. My spousal prefers the Peltors because they have more enhanced volume controls. I normally use plugs along with the muffs. Kind of like a belt and suspenders.
