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

I hate muffs for long guns, but also need to be able to hear on the range or while hunting. I tried several other options, and these are by far the best. I get a good 8 hours out of a charge, or a full day hunting. I was skeptical of the foam earbud only, thinking I would need a hook for them to stay in, but was pleasantly surprised at how well these stay in. I love that they're shaped like 9mm cases, for the old skool of us that remember using pistol cases as ear pro in a pinch. The battery life is much less if using bluetooth, but honestly, listening to music hunting or at the range is dumb. Where these shine is amplifying surrounding sounds, and then shutting off and acting as ear pro when a gunshot goes off. The NRR rating also surprised me. They kept me comfortable while talking to people at the table, while there was full auto AK fire going on at the next table. Hands down the best overall electronic hearing protection on the market.

After trying several in ear Bluetooth buds, these are the only ones that actually allow for ambient pass-through sound and are rated for shooting a rifle. Bluetooth sound quality is very good for how small they are, adjustable pass-through noise is nice but I wish it went quieter. The actual noise blocking is incredible, I would say even better than my walker’s razor over ear muffs( with the new in ear silicone part) Now the bad, the foam in ear insert is absolutely the worst! The smallest one is way too big and it wants to push out of my ear as soon as it is in, it also doesn’t fit very well to block the sound. I ordered replacement silicone ear pieces specifically made for walkers, now these are my go to.

I wore them to the range and they worked perfectly. I had plenty of battery power for the time I was there. The volume controller works great so I can hear normal conversations. I used two different sizes of ear pieces to see which ones worked better for blocking noise with fit and comfort. Bluetooth connected to my I phone no problem and easy to use with phone calls and music. They where comfortable and for the money I would recommend.

I had really high hopes for these. I was completely let down. It wouldn't even drowned out the sound of my buddies 9 mm pistol shooting seven stalls away it was really loud! Then I tested it with my 556. Absolute failure! They got returned to Amazon as soon as I got back from the range! Keep looking these are not the ones you want!

These work ok. Not enough sound blocking to listen to audiobooks while mowing. Main complaint is that in attached photo plus two others it seems as if these earbuds magnetically attach to each other when around neck and not in ears. I wish this had been true.

Kind of fixes all the issues with the walkers silencer bt's yeah the old school ones with the cases, yeah the rope can be annoying but honestly not too bad. I guess for the next gen use a usb-c but honestly I would rather just buy this the way it is than you increasing price for a v2 v3 leading to more ewaste this planet does not need... Thank you and I will be back for more : ) Sounds good, dont have to worry about charging connection issue with proprietary charging hardware/battery, easy to use, fairly durable obviously a cable to if you have two sumo wrestlers on each end I will guarantee you they will become inop... Price point decent for the capabilities and quality. Update: i can totally see why people are experiencing the battery issue. If you simply have the slidey knob that controls freq boost off before you power down via bluetooth button that controls the power, you might experience better battery life. Ymmv but i’d give this hypothesis a shot before asking for a rma.

I bought the "Rope" blue tooth version. I ended up returning it. Pros I liked that the electronics were separate for the amplifier and the blue tooth. You could turn each on independently or together. Also, a switch on feature, each side had it's own volume control. There was plenty of volume for enhanced hearing and for the bluetooth. It wasn't hard to put into my ears, and the earpieces were fairly comfortable for hours at a time. Cons For some reason . . . the rope that connects the left and right side is VERY sensitive! With the ear pieces turned on OR OFF, every time that middle piece of rope touched ANYTHING, you hear a loud almost rumbling sound. The middle rope almost was in constant contact with my shirt and my skin and it was very distracting, uncomfortable. I couldn't believe how loud it was even with the electronics turned off. I tried wearing different clothes as I normally wear a button down shirt. Even with a soft T-shirt, any part of the rope that makes contact makes a sound. Maybe some people could get used to the distracting noise, I couldn't. I also noticed that when walking fast, trotting the electric part of the sound cuts out. For grins, I wore this with the enhanced hearing while driving and found that with every single little bump in the road the sound cut out.

These work great for the range! My ears feel protected from shots fired yet I can still hear my instructor. The bluetooth works amazing and I love how quickly it charges.

2 stars since the pictures make it seem like the backs of them are magnetic to stay on your neck when they aren't in your ears but they are not. The enhancement works well enough havent tried them shooting yet but I will.
