Should I try electronic muffs, do they work for power tools as well as for shooting, and any recommended model/brand?

I had some cheap ($15-20) ear muffs for shooting. I discovered that they were REALLY nice to wear when using power tools. When I first bought them, they mostly sat in a bag waiting for a trip to the range. Now I wear them when using power tools, riding the zero turn mower, etc...

If you wanted to listen to music, I supposed electronic would be good, but I'll stick with my passive/dumb ear muffs.
