I got some Decibullz this black Friday. It's still just a foam earbud, with a thermo plastic that moulded to your ear shape. It doesn't really offer any extra protection compared to just foam. I shot 100rds of skeet with them on and felt properly safe and protected. Im only using them for skeet or target shooting, they don't go in fast enough r for hunting. I'm going to stay with ear muffs and take the odd rushed shot without protection in the great open outdoors.
