Walker's Shooting Training Protection 29 DB Omni-Directional Microphone Rope Hearing Enhancer Earbuds

I got these to enhance my hearing while hunting and shooting. Was a little nervous the first time I shot, but they worked perfectly. I could hear much better talking with my group while we were sighting in my 308 and every time I shot, the protector kicked in to bring the noise down to a bearable level It is important to get the foam earpiece that fits snug in your ear - they are also part of your protection. make sure they fit tight and seal well - if you shoot with the sound silencer off they should work to reduce the level on their own. Then when you turn them on they enhance the hearing , but also block 85db and above. I wish they had replaceable batteries instead of rechargeable ones, but so far they hold up well - we'll see if they still do come hunting season. I will probably carry a power bank just in case. The only issue I really had was typical of all sound amplification assistance devices I've tried - they amplify everything and don't really filter out sounds like engine noise, loud vibrations and such which obscure voices. I was hoping to use while driving with wife in the car, but the other noises still drowned her out - just like in my hearing aids. Great for shooting though and hoping they hold up well in the field this season.

AMAZING! I bought these and the more expensive blue tooth pair. These work wonderfully! We shoot trap for hours. I bought them because it's hard to hear everyone talk with normal plugs, but not having anything hurts my ears. These are great! I put the wire in my ponytail or hair clip. They stay in really well. The bluetooth ones are still too loud for me at the lowest setting? These are perfect. Battery lasts all day while on. The Bluetooth ones wire causes static rubbing sound but these don't. The only thing I would change is smaller sizes, and the wind is really loud on a super windy day but that's all. Worth every penny!

I bought these specifically for pheasant hunting, and considering there are few reviews, I figured I'd throw my in my $.02. One issue I've always had for bird hunting is finding a balance between protecting my ears and hearing when a bird flushes. With the cheap foam ear plugs, I always settled on using just one ear plug so I could still hear. Not the case anymore. These Walkers do work well as I have heard every bird flush, and the gunshots are well muffled whether I am pulling the trigger or someone nearby. I have 2 small issues with these. First, I used them at the range (which is a confined space) and I could not use these with the power on. It was still just a little too loud, but that's probably due to firing with a cement wall to my immediate left and a roof over my head. Simple fix...turn them off when shooting, turn them on when not shooting and you hear conversation plain as day. Secondly, as one previous review had stated, it picks up and amplifies the sound of the wind. Not a huge deal to me as I got used to it as the day went on, but nonetheless it was still slightly irritating when the wind gusts. All in all, since there isn't an option for 4 1/2 stars, I settled on 4 stars, but they're really close to 5 starts for me. Hope that helps someone else considering these

I read all the reviews before I purchased about the questionable 29 dB NRR rating but went ahead and bought them anyway. My Walker's ear muffs work great. These however, are not the same quality. Aside from the small irritants like no LED for on status, the bigger one is I couldn't really tell if they were working. Shooting outdoors, I could hear the tone change when I turned them on but when the guy to bays down from me let off with his magnum, I questioned if they were really on. Turned the volume up and down and the pitch changed, but there was very little sound reduction when a gun was fired. Then there is the fit issue. I was using the small cups. They would slowly dislodge without me knowing until that magnum fired off again. I changed to the med cups which are too big. Not sure if they were pulling out when I was getting into position but because they dislodged just enough without me knowing, in my opinion, these will hurt your hearing....my ears are still ringing....Stay with Walker's over the ear muffs or get a better in ear device....these are not the same.

When they stay in my ears, they work pretty good. My issue is that the foam ear pieces are soo big that they dont want to stay in my ears. They keep working their way out every few minutes. Sadly, all the extra ear inserts are all the same size. Ive tried compressing them before putting them in and no help, they still fall out. I might have to cut them down to make them fit better, or just go back to ear muffs.

I love these earbuds. I am waiting for them to go on sale again to get another pair. I have been putting it off cause they have not failed yet. I use the heck out of them and I thought that by now they would quit but they still work like day one. I have had to replace the foam parts but walkers included extra in the case, so no issues. My only complaint and its not really a complaint is that the wire can sometimes get stuck on clothing or skin. But I have combated this by putting the wire through my hat adjuster and no issues after. Easy to still hear range commands with these.

I waited to review these until I had really, I mean REALLY used them. I'm outdoors a lot and I shoot lots of handguns at targets of opportunity, namely hogs. That is the very reason I bought these, I wanted to be able to walk through the pasture and hear everything around me, yet be able to fire my revolvers without (further) damaging my hearing. These Wlaker's work PERFECTLY. Once in my ears, they amplify my hearing just above the level I hear without anything in my ears, yet when I fire my .41 Magnum or .44 Special, or any firearm for that matter, they protect my hearing wonderfully! As such, I HIGHLY recommend these!

Shot sport clays today. Noise was blocked out as advertised and able to carry on conversations with my buddies using the enhancement mode. They stayed on for over 2hrs and in my ears. Did not link bluetooth to phone. I have other ear buds for that.

No me gustó después de probarlo varias veces no se escucha bien aunque reduce bien el ruido

i haven't used them myself yet, but i got them and gave them to my dad whom needed a new pair cause the around the neck walker's he had broke. he used them while he was reffing a skeet shooting event, and he said these were so good he thought the gun's were misfiring at first!!! i am probably going to buy another pair for myself once i run out of batteries for my walker's razor silencer's

Good

These worked great for 2 hunting season, but stopped working after that. For the price and what we put them through I can’t complain. We used them for waterfowl hunting in all kinds of weather, they were easy to hear when talking to each other and cut the sound of the guns out with no issues. On windy days they do pic up a lot of wind noise but not horrible, I will be buying another set for this season.

Cool
