I have a pair and absolutely love them. If you can stomach the price, you won’t regret them (I bought from optics planet when they were having a sale). Their main business is making hearing protection and headsets for the military, so that speaks well to the general technology they have at hand.
For me, They’re extremely comfortable to wear. I use the rubber cups (they provide two sizes), but they also provide foam if you prefer.
The battery lasts forever. I can wear for an entire morning of trap and the earpieces go from 100% down to 80-90% battery. The charge case is also really nice and has a pretty high capacity rechargeable battery - I have to recharge the case only every month or two.
They do a really good job of blocking sound, with excellent directional sensitivity for normal sound. The cutoff for blocking gun report is instantaneous. Yet, I can hear normal conversation as though I weren’t wearing them at all. I’ve found this especially nice when hunting. When I used to wear the Howard Leight electronic muffs, I couldn’t always tell where the bird was flushing (e.g., somewhere to my right, but in front of me? Behind me?). With the Ottos, there’s no problem pinpointing location.
If you have specific questions, let me know. Only complaint? I wish they were orange! Don’t drop them when out in the woods - the olive green coloring looks cool, but makes them hard to find in the field.
