anyone have an opinion on best ear protection for firing a shotgun?

I have the Howard Leight R-03318 L3 muffs. My wife has the L2's. I shoot skeet and trap with my L3's using a 12 ga. I also shoot many other guns using them. They are comfortable, and block the sound, and shock waves excellent. I swear by them. They have a NRR (noise reduction rating) of 30 which is very high. On occasion if I have had sinus trouble, I will use collapsible foam ear inserts plus the Howard Leight L3's. You cant hear people talking then. I really dont think you'll be disappointed with the L3's.

Are they big enough to fit an extra large head well?

An extra large head is vague, I mean how large is xtra large. My hat size is 7 5/8. When I wear these, they are almost down on the lowest setting. So I would think they would fit you.

Would these be comfortable for someone with a bigger sized head?

My work bought these for everyone. I wear a size 7 1/4 hat, yet the bottom of the cup squeezes in against te bottom of my ears and that is fully extended. Bigger head? Don't buy them.

Which Howard Leight earmuff is best for outdoor shooting that does not need batteries or have to use ear plugs with them?

Cynthia, the Howard Leight R-03318 are great, not needing batteries and not needing ear plugs. I prefer this one over my more expensive one that needs batteries.

聴覚過敏の人にオススメ

聴覚過敏で古いモニターやブルーライトなどのを使っている店舗の前を通るたびに聞こえる高周波音に悩まされてましたが、だいぶ軽減されました。

なかなかいいです

寝る時間帯の周囲の生活音が大きいので購入しました。全く無音になるわけではなく、水の中にもぐっているときに聞こえるような、くぐもった音が聞こえます。でも細かな雑音はかなりカットされるみたいでぐっすり眠れます。目覚ましの音はちゃんと聞こえます。買ってよかったです。

Decepcion Total

Tras usarlo durante unos meses me ha decepcionado bastante en general,tenia otros de esta misma marca que aislaban mas del ruido.Tambien son poco cómodos en la parte interior tienen unos bordes que despues de varias horas te empiezan a molestar bastante.a si que no los volveria a comorar de hecho voy a volver a usar los antiguos una pena.
