Are electronic ear muffs worth it over passive ones?

It depends on use. Electronic muffs like the Howard Leight Impact Sport and Walker's Razor amplify ambient speech while clamping down on gunshots, which reviewers value at the range for hearing commands. However, several r/tacticalgear and r/EscapefromTarkov posters note the amplification is mono or limited and that passive muffs often block more raw decibels for the money.
