Walker'sDigital Electronic Muff-26db Nrr Noise Protection Sound Enhancement Shooting Safety Earmuff, 2 AAA Batteries

Headphones like these are generally used for shooting, and I've used them for that plenty, but I bought these for another purpose entirely which I'll get to in a sec.First off for shooting, these are amazing. They block so much noise Just putting them on. Keep in mind they are quite snug which is great for my small head haha. The four modes are pretty gimmicky honestly. You either need power boost mode or clear voice mode for 99% of applications. These do work great, and you can hear people or any noise that doesn't surpass the decibel cutoff really well.Now for what I use these for mostly. have you ever had to do something monotonous and very noisy and thought, "I wish I could hear the radio but this darn tool is too loud"? that's what I use these for. Planing boards down for hours straight, Grinding or cutting concrete, sanding a custom butcher block table... Just today I was grinding a concrete floor for 8 hours and thought dang I should write a review about how good these are haha. Not only do these cancel most of the noise, but the music coming thru them sounds really good. Not too good mind you, not like studio headphones, but like a cheap set of headphones, and when there's a deafening noise 3 feet away and you're clearly and happily listening to your favorite Spotify playlist, that's darn impressive.Just a few gripes to finish up. First these auto shutoff. It seems like about 2 hours before they shutoff. they do give a one minute warning and when that warning comes up it would make sense that you could interact with the headset to reset the timer right?? Well I've tried several different buttons when the one-minute warning sounds out, and none of them seemed to have any effect. It seems as though once the warning comes there's no way to stop it from shutting down the muffs in 60 seconds. Not a big deal, just turn them back on and reconnect and get back to work.Next issue. These muffs being geared for shooters seem to leave off features for ppl like me that are using them for loud noise cancelling, while listening to music headphones rather than shooting muffs. For example, I'm running a dust extractor and 13 inch wood planer. Put headphones on to listen to music while working for a few hours. Now you HAVE to use one of the four noise boost modes. All of which perfectly accentuate the hum of the dust extractor very annoyingly. There is no mode that doesn't use the mic to boost noise thru the speakers. So I have to find the least annoying hum and lower the volume all the way down, which again annoyingly does not shut it off all the way. Doesn't bother me too much while working but when you pause music or shut off the planer you can hear it.Not big enough issues for me to knock off a star. I'm not using the product as it's intended to be used anyways. As far as I'm concerned these things are a lifesaver for anyone that likes to listen to music while working on long, very loud projects.

The fit is very good for my head and is easy to adjust. The controls are easy to identify and manipulate while the muffs are on my head. I tried this with a pair of lightweight gloves...can be done but not quite as easy. The head band and ear cups are the most comfortable that I've used, even with eyeglasses. I bought these muffs, in part, because of the impressive noise reduction rating, but I can't confirm the NRR without some expensive instrumentation.Originally, I had one complaint and it was significant. On the side with the controls, there is a constant static 'hiss' sound. The nature of the sound changed a little bit with different settings of the controls, but it is always there. I tried a new set of batteries, but that didn't help. These muffs are intended to be worn while I hunt feral hogs at night, using the ambient sound amplification to help identify game that is not yet in visible range. I wear the muffs almost continuously for as much as 5 hours per hunt, so this background hiss is not going to be acceptable. For range sessions of 1-2 hours, it might not be a big deal. But considering that my primary application is hunting, I have to return the muffs and select something else.After posting this review I contacted Amazon about the hiss/noise problem. They quickly agreed to exchange the muffs for another pair, which arrived the next day. The second set operates without the hiss and I think even more of these muffs now. Now that the noise is gone, I can tell that the sound amplification is most robust while in the "Power Boost" mode. This will be really helpful for my hunting application. And the impulse sound attenuation seems quite good. I haven't gone to the range with them yet, but just the snapping of fingers near the microphones causes the electronics circuit to completely cut off for the duration of the impulse. I expect them to work well around gunfire.I'm giving these muffs a 5-star rating, in part, because of the great Amazon customer service, which provided a solution to the original issue of noise.

These work well for their intended purpose. I really like their fit and performance for the range. I can hear range commands and conversations well and it cuts the firing noise very well. I tried using them while using a leaf blower and not so good for that though.

I wholeheartedly love this headset. Yes, I did modify by purchasing the gel ear pads and this really helped with comfort. Not that the original ear pads are bad, they’re just not as comfortable. Great value even though these aren’t inexpensive. Some people have complained about the sound from the speakers while listening to your Bluetooth. Why would you expect the quality of a Bose, Beats, or an Audio-Technica? These are made for shooting, so you should pay attention to your surroundings, your music should be low if you feel like listening to music. Get the headphones I mentioned above if you feel like listening to loud music with bass and or clarity. These work exceptionally well for me when I’m at the range. Easy to operate once you know the controls and where they’re located. Syncing with Bluetooth is a breeze too. I love the color, fit, and overall quality of these headphones. Update, after a year of use I’m having difficulty syncing my device via Bluetooth. Don’t understand why this is happening now.

Thank y'all so much. I use my walkers every day.Great sound, great material, just an all around great product. Anyone in construction or just likes going out to the range, should most definitely have a pair of these.

The noise reduction is great, I don't feel like I have to yell at the top of my lungs, I can hear myself talk and I can hear others just fine. If you have always used passive hearing protection and are thinking about this item just get it, you won't regret it.
