Thanks OB
So I just got off the phone with Aaron from Earmold Australia. Apparently, due to recent changes to the Standards, the highest SNR rating these type of moulded plugs can be assigned is 25, even though the actual in-ear reduction is higher.
The solid plugs (no electronics) should provide a reduction of 40.5 dB at 4,000 Hz (the frequency most relevant to gunfire). The moulded plugs with electronics should provide a reduction of 34 dB at 4,000 Hz.
I like the idea of 40 dB reduction, but also really like the idea of being able to hear range commands and have the situational awareness that comes with the electric plugs.....
The plugs are made in Aus, with the electronics imported from UK
I'm waiting on some more info to be emailed through.
Cheers
