3M PELTOR Skull Screw Communication Tip Replacements

Customer Reviews

Too large, as already mentioned by othersI really wanted these to work, because of the better NRR, but they are, simply, too large. The biggest problem with the size is, while you might be able to mostly get them in, the poor fit reduces the effective NRR and, in my case, the Triple-C s, with the slightly reduced NRR, did a better job of reducing sound. My rating is also influenced by the fact that returns are not possible, which I can kind of understand for this kind of product, but vendors might need to make some more leeway here because there is no trial size option and this is an online sale. 2Excellent fit and noise reduction.I use these with the TEP-100 and wear electronic ear muff style peltors over them. Not only is double hearing protection required at the range for my civilian job, but it s also required for me as a range instructor for my Guard unit. Using both with the ear buds on low and the muffs on high allows me to hear everything very clearly while dampening the weapon fire (everything from 9mm - 7.62). I feel these are excellent in their noise reduction and fit very well in my ears. 5To big for my earsThere isn't really a problem with earbuds themself, the problem is that they are to big for my ear canal and will not compress sufficiently. Wish they made them in a smaller size, or, provide a custom moldable type. 2Not as good as the reviews claimThese did not work for me at all. Bought them based on reviews and they are VERY expensive for a blob of foam!. They don't expand like old school foam plugs - because they are on a post you cannot roll them to insert. If you look at plain old Skull Screws they have a 'handle' that would allow them to be squished and inserted - can't do that if attached to the Ear Plug Device.The 3 flange silicone ones that came with the TEP-200 fit MUCH better and cut out ALL sound from entering MY ear canal. Of the 3 silicone tips I am using the Lg size. I will be buying a pack of 370-TEPL-25 to replace them.Overall, the TEP is fantastic! Beats wearing an Electronic HeatSet at the range. 1The head phones are crapdlntI can't say a lot about them because I never got to use them but the 3-m head phones are garbage and not work the money the first day I had them the tips would come off in my ears and was hard to get out so I hung them on my lift and they got lost or stolen they are not loud and you have to ware ear muffs over them to hear the music so to me they are pretty worthless the head phones are crap don't wast your money if you don't buy the head phones you won't need the tips 3Decent But Not Perfect...The 3M Peltor Skull Screw foam tips offer a 29db noise reduction when used with the 3M Peltor Earbud Noise Isolating Headphones 2600N. The fit and finish is very similar to the standard, foam earplugs you can buy at any local pharmacy- except that the earphones attach to the wide section of the cone...When inserted correctly, these do offer noticeable noise isolation. And, music from the headphones does come in fairly clear. Background wind noise is still present at any freeway speeds- though these work better than anything else I've tried...The only 2 things that I don't like about this setup. First, the rod of the earphone itself inserts into the cone of the foam tip, which means a hard plastic screw-like projection actually inserts inside your ear. And, inside a helmet, it's not exactly 100% comfortable. Every helmet fits slightly differently, and as most people know, properly fitting helmets should be very snug. As such, the rubbing of the foam and earpiece on the inside of the ear does hurt a little if worn over an hour or so... Second, as with all foam earplugs, the suction created for the sound isolation is very sensitive. That is, even a gentle tug on the cables can change the snugness and/ or cause some leakage or suction differences. Even if inserted firmly and properly, it's still possible for micro movement to occur. Again, inside a snug helmet, this means sometimes moving around results in a slight change in pressure, which is annoying. This can cause one ear to have better sound isolation than the other and unequal music volume, and unequal sound isolation.Bottom-line is that thus far, I have not come across a better solution. But, the protruding ear stem into the foam and snugness inside a helmet does make this solution unfeasible for tighter-fitting helmets. It would work great, however, for non-full face helmets, like for cycling or what not. Not perfect for full-face lids though. 3Extremely to large for proper fitWere so large I am not sure what they were designed for. I am not sure what the average size ear canal is but I am adult male just over 6 feet tall and these were way to large to fit properly in my ear. I could not even roll them down place them in my ear and let them expand. Could not get them to fit properly to stay in my ears so I can confidently say they would not function for keeping out noise. 1Doesn't Work For MeI bought these because so many folks said quite a bunch of good things about them. But I'm not seeing it: they don't fit really all that well and as a result don't do any better than the 3M Peltor ear plugs that came with the EEP-100 electronic ear plugs.In other words, I pretty much wasted $20+. Your results may vary, but I would say first try out the tips that come with the EEPs before spending any more money.3 stars. At best. 3Best noise canceling ear plug for the Peltor system!Wet the tip, insert and screw into the ear canal. Yes, they will drive all the way in and when in provide excellent noise suppression.I use the Peltor system when riding motorcycles. It allows me to hear everything around me while suppressing loud engine, and wind noises protecting my hearing. Oddly, I can easily hear conversations nearby at stops in the city with my full face helmet visor up. I cannot hear these same conversations when bare eared. The binaural aspect allows me to determine the direction of noise somewhat like being bare eared, although the helmet does interfere somewhat with this. However, I can usually understand from which direction emergency vehicles are coming.I liked the smaller foam earplugs which came with the Peltor devices, but they have become difficult to find, so I switched to the Skull Screws. The Skull Screws provide better dB reduction and make it easier to hear the allowed through noise.A very durable product, I clean once in a while and expect each earplug to last a month or more (I ride 100+ miles per day on average).Strong recommend, good product, good fit if correctly inserted, great dB reduction, good to great durability. 5Much better sound reduction than the stock 3M plugs, enough even for indoor rangesThe stock 3m plugs are pretty decent but these are on another level. Even right next to loud guns at indoor ranges these are perfectly fine, no need to double up on earpro anymore, just buy these to go with your 3M electronic earplugs. 5
