Default Hearing Protection?

Hi All,

I started looking at the electronic hearing protectors offered to hunters
and shooters- they mostly cost around $150 on up. Recently I notice stores
like Woodcraft are selling electronic muffs in the $30 range. Can anybody
tell me what the difference is for the more expensive units?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I use the cheap $20 headsets and buy them for their comfort and ease
of use. It's rare, but I have put in ear plugs AND the headset. The
earplugs that expand in the ear canal work best for me (use these at
my job), but I prefer the headset.
