Hi Jewel,
there are several brands out there. the ones I have are from Lee Valley. they
are much like those large headphones. There are a pair of batteries in one pod,
A rotary on/off volume control and a mike. The good news is when sound
protection isn't needed you can hear, through the mike and headphone speakers
what is around you. It is odd though because the sound is mono not stereo so
direction is weird but otherwise the sound protection is good. Mine are a
little heavy and pretty warm in hot weather.
If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie

The list was discussing these ages ago, and I am trying to find if they are
available on the New
Zealand market.
Can anyone refresh my memory as to the brand, and just what their functions
are?
If they are * electronic, they must have a battery pack, which, I seem to
recall, controls the
amount of ambient sound that reaches the wearer's ears.
