I would like some in-ear/ear bud electronic (sound amplifying) hearing protection to use instead of my muffs when not shooting a lot of rounds or in enclosed areas.
My only real criteria are that they be tethered together and have hooks over the ears as I find I often knock ear buds out of my ears. Battery life and durability is also important.
Also regarding hearing protection I understand muffs reduce vibrations that carry sound to your ear and that plugs alone aren't as good.
That said on a scale of 1 to 10, with zero being no hearing protection, one being cigarette butts or 9mm cases, and ten being foam plugs jammed right into your ear canals combined with gel cup muffs how good are ear bud type plugs alone?
