Some electronic headsets are better than others. The electronics inside aren't expensive, but the sound dampening and design sure make the price go up fast for models that allow good cheek weld without interfering because of a bulky design.

There really is no one great design/brand/model in sound-cancelling electronic hearing protection, I'm afraid.

I can at least tell you the model that's been widely adopted by the US military: Peltor SwatTac MT15H68FB-08.

Personally, I don't have any electronic hearing protection. I have custom molded earplugs because I suffer from Tinnitus like you do. These are the best but they have their downside too.

I'm looking at those online. Their configuration (bulky at the bottom) would absolutely prevent a good cheek weld on the gun stock. Even mine (Howard Leight Impact Sports) bump and "knock" against the stock a great deal.
