Anybody use Sordin muffs?

I currently have Howard Leight Impact muffs I likely paid <$100.

They're old and the cushions need to be replaced and I'm thinking about upgrading. I wear plugs and muffs at the range and when I shoot long guns the muffs get in the way. I just work around them.

I've tried using the Leights with plugs but still can't hear people talking.

I read on another gun forum that Sordin muffs are top notch. Amazon has a decent selection, but too many offerings. So, allow me to ask a question.

One Sordin has a neck band. What's that for?

Also, there is a Supreme Pro and a Supreme Pro X. About fifty dollars difference in the two. I'll use them for the range (with plugs) and in the field (without plugs).

I'll never need them for SWAT or Black Ops.

Would an average shooter (moi) be able to tell the difference between the two?

I've used some of the Sordins as loaners and they've been excellent. I never really felt the need for range uses (I just use standard, non-electronic muffs) but after some ringing from this duck trip I'm really considering electronic earpro for hunting.
