Just seeing this, thanks for the mention. Indeed I use Peltor muffs along with Shure SE530s. Great isolation, and the Shures are pretty good until my budget allows me to upgrade to the serious IEMs! The Peltors aren't the most comfortable and they do get fatiguing after a while due both to lack of ventilation and the pressure exerted on the head, but I've used the combo successfully everywhere from the Vanguard to the Newport Jazz Festival where I mixed live to broadcast no more than 25 feet from the side of the stage. Definitely good to take a break after an hour or so from the Peltors.
