Impressions are that they’re not bad. They are definitely not as good as Pro-Ears but are better than standard hearing protection. They amplify soft sounds so you can hear people talk and make out the sounds of folks in other lanes loading magazines; and the block out loud sounds. In comments to the initial review, reader Fred wrote: I reordered after your comment and they just arrived. [...] [...] Finally got the $20 electronic hearing protection to the range.

First impression is negative. I put the batteries in (a bad design in my opinion) and the indicator light turns on. I put it back together and the indicator light won't turn on. Something seems to be sensitive to the stress when the cup is snapped in. It may be a defect only with this particular set, but . . . Incidentally, the instructions are wrapped up with the warranty in the bottom of the package. Rather, mine were. They may also have problems with their packaging process. I don't know whether I'll bother to send them back under warranty since I have to pay to ship. I'll probably just not deal with them again. I reordered after your comment and they just arrived.

But WS has changed brands. The old item is no longer carried, the new item is linked above and they have them in stock. Fred, I got the same thing. But WS has changed brands.

A couple of weeks later I got a postcard saying they couldn't get any more. I ordered a set after you recommended them. A couple of weeks later I got a postcard saying they couldn’t get any more.

It's on the left just north of the 640 interchange on Broadway. You might also find these at their retail store and avoid shipping. It’s on the left just north of the 640 interchange on Broadway.
