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 using these for several months, i decided to write a review. I rarely give a 5 star on anything, these would get that if they had disposable batteries or an 8 hour battery life and maybe a touch more bluetooth volume. Sound reduction is good. Use them both for the rifle range and mowing grass. The bluetooth was a must for me as i wanted to have music playing for yard work. I really wanted the model that had replaceable batteries because of hunting 10-12 hours a day, but they did not have bluetooth, I dont necessarily want to carry a portable battery charger, but what are you going to do. The hearing enhancement is decent. To me, its not much of an increase in volume as it is a feature that you can hear at a normal level with ear plugs in. I used them hunting and the battery lasted at least 4 hours as it claims. They work quite well as an audio headset for handsfree operation whether making a call while driving or connected to my laptop for a zoom or Teams call. Was pleasantly surprised about that. You do get "static" when you increase the hearing enhancement volume, thats part of it. And you can hear the wind blow, also part of it. I have recommended these too several folks already. I would definitely buy them again, especially compared to the higher end wireless ones that are nearly 4x the cost. You know the ones all the "influencers" wear........

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 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!

Not very comfortable. The smallest plug is too big for my ear. Difficult to insert properly for protection. The foam material is tough and scratchy. Rubs my ears raw. I was hoping plugs would soften. After eight weeks, I am looking for different pads. Not very good at controlling noise. Hard to hear people even when turned up. The performance of sound filtering does not fare well in comparison to other brands. I went back to using my old noise canceling PPE.

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 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 worked well. I used them at an outdoor range recently and they did great job. Very comfortable. Easy to talk to others. Nice alternative to my over the ear protection.

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.
