Overall, these are great. My husband and I were able to have conversations at the range while tons of huge shots were going off around us. You still hear gunshots loud and clear with these, but the traumatic aspect of it is mostly neutralized, if that makes any sense. However, they were inadequate when I shot a short-barreled 12 gauge shotgun. I left with my right ear ringing and muffled. I should have used earmuffs on top of them for that. In all, they are great, but they do have some limitations.

Updated Used these again on a long range day. Battery lasted all day and I was glad to have them so I could wear a boonie hat in the hot sun. Only complaint was when a phone call was received my iphone would not default the audio to the headset, even though it was paired. I believe the below mentioned crackling with the Tactical Sound is from the headset not having a foam windscreen over the mic like other over the ear devices have. The crackling sound from the breeze was minimized by turning the Tactical Sound down to a lower setting.-These worked great on the range, even having enough noise cancellation for a 12GA. Was able to easily carry on conversations. Perfect for a wide brimmed hat where muff style ear protection wouldn't work. For other applications not so much. With constant noise from an ATV or chain saw the noise cancellation was jumpy and weird. Also wind noise when riding the ATV gave a weird crackling sound. With the Tactical Sound control turned all the way down this solved the crackling and jumpiness. Bluetooth works well for music.

Recently purchased and took them to the range. The individual on the left was firing AR-15, myself AR-15-suppressed, and on my right 30-06 and 22LR. This was an outdoor covered range with slats to limit elevation on the front. The ear buds worked great. They suppressed the report from all the rifles firing. The 30-06 is loud and I could feel it being shot next to me but noise was not an issue. It was a little breezy today and got some crackling while walking out and checking targets. Guess what my $2.0K bluetooth hearing aids do the same too when breezy. Comfortable to wear and had no issues with carrying on a normal conversation. Would recommend purchasing.

I love the size and convenience of the tactical earpiece. They seem to work well with noise cancellation and easy buttons to adjust. Very comfortable and not as bulky and heavy as the headset. The sound quality is very good for the Bluetooth addition and I can now rest my cheek on the gun to use my sights and scope again.

Took a bit to get the fit right, but once I did these sealed out virtually all noise till you turn them on and activate the pass through. I really like being able to dial in or out the amount of outside noise. Loud noises are immediately muted, like gun shots which is primarily why I purchased these. But the sound quality is decent enough for them to be used for music or podcasts ina pinch (when not at the range) so it makes these a lot more useful than previous range safety gear.

If you are going to use these for shooting, you still should wear earmuffs if you are shooting 308 or larger.

Seems to hood overall quality. Super lightweight

Compared to the Howard Leight Impact Sport headphones I've worn for the last few years these are a solid choice for hunters and rifle shooters in general. The Bluetooth connectivity is pretty intuitive and the sound suppression is adequate for outside shooting. I would add earmuffs for indoor range work.The only ding, compared to the Howard Leights, is that the cancellation circuitry is quite sensitive so otherwise normal sounds, like stepping on a stick, cause the ambient sound to cut out. This makes it a little challenging to use the earbuds while stalking or hiking if you're intending to really hear your surroundings, but given that I don't have to mess with an over-the-ear headset while hunting, I'll continue to use these. I'll also wear these mountain biking to listen to music and still be able to have conversations with other riders.

These are great for outdoor shooting days when I want to wear a hat. I've spent a few years looking around for earbud-style noise enhancing hearing protection, and these worked quite well. They stop rifle sound about as well as disposable ear plugs, but I can still hear people talk, which is a must.My only concern is the longevity of the ear-piece foam, it seems like the kind that will break down over time. There may be replacement foam parts out there though, so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Overall, I like the product. The combo of a headset that I can use day-in and day-out for music and phone calls, plus for use while I'm hunting to protect my hearing is really convenient. The noise cancelation works pretty well when you have the right foam tips in and have them inserted correctly. The one complaint I have is with the sound amplification (I think the term they use is attenuation?) while I'm hunting in breezy conditions.I bought these primarily to upland bird/rabbit hunt and protect my hearing, while still being able to hear my surroundings, as I hunt without a dog and key-in on animals flushing from cover. In calm conditions, I'm able to maintain situational awareness and keep track of where sounds are coming from. However, when the breeze picks up, just to like 5-8 mph winds (a calm breeze down here in New Mexico...) the microphone picks up the wind way more than I think it should and causes the noise attenuation to cut in and out, causing me to lose some of my situational awareness. I've missed the sound of several rabbits flushing and wasn't able to react in time, when I think I would have been able to react in time normally (but would be at risk of damaging my hearing if I'd have taken a shot). I'm going to keep trying them to see how they perform in other situations, but the wind issue is a bit of a problem, especially for a western upland hunter.

These work great! Got them as a gift for my husband for the gun range. Now our daughter wants one. I tried them at home and you can hear people talking loud and clear.

These are not $1,000 ears so temper expectations accordingly.Pros:- unit is compact and comfortable- controls are simple, intuitive, and easy to use- good noise cancellation while shooting IF the ear tips fit properly- very good binaural sound quality when conversing or listening for critters while huntingCons:- insufficient protection when shooting if the ear tips do not fit well, as happened for me. I called the mfgr and they immediately sent alternatives to try. They also indicated that tips made by Comply are compatible with this unit and may be available in more sizes.- lots of hiss when amplification is turned up- near constant clicking noise if there's anything more than a light breeze. Mfgr is aware of this issue.- unit automatically attempts Bluetooth pairing on power-on and there's no way to disable this feature.- manual font is impossible small to read if you have old eyes, even w/ cheaters. It's also rather skimpy on details.Overall I'm satisfied with the unit and will be trying to pair it up with custom earmolds for better hearing protection.

First the good. The Bluetooth connection to an iPhone is nice and stable, and the sound quality of streamed music, and phone calls is very good. A little bad, the foam ear buds can be a bit uncomfortable if you don't get them seated just right, however once you do get them seated properly they offer excellent hearing protection to loud noise. The feature that allows you to turn on the external microphone is somewhat useful, however the sound quality is tinny. I use these daily at work to dampen noise, and still be able to communicate without pulling out the ear plugs. It works to a degree, however if there is noise coming from all directions, the external mic is susceptible to just amplifying all that noise and missing the speech. The battery life is stellar, I work a 10 hour shift, and often have these turned on and in my ears for up to 9 hours if the shop is noisy, and the battery lasts all day without a problem. Usually those 9 hours would including streaming music, using the external mic for conversation, and some phone conversations, so they definitely aren't in idle mode much of the time. The cord that connects the earbuds together is for me, just right. Not so long that they are constantly pulling out of my ears or getting wound up in a collar, and not so short as to put too much weight on my ears. The quality of the overall construction does seem to be a bit, well, cheap. However time will tell on that, so far they have been used an average of 30 hours a week for a month now--killing noise while being able to listen to a book or music is awesome--without any bits falling off or breaking. They do come with a nice carrying case, and while its a bit bulky, I find I use it daily to protect the earbuds while not in use.

Damn those Louds noises that sneak up and rattle your eardrums. Sometimes you need bare hearing so you can be aware of conversations in a loud environment. Earplugs worn all the time can be a hazard as much as they help. This headset is a great idea, they don't make the grade of truly professional-quality but are worth the money at this point. The foam inserts block grinders, chop saws, the problem with the provided plugs, when you squeezed them down, to insert in your ear canal they expand back to fast to get them in there first. This can make an improper seal. Wich takes several atempts to get them right which is a time nuisance. You can adjust the volume so you can hear what is going on around you. I have been in the trade 27 yrs and I suffer from tinnitus and they dont irritate my ears drums. The music must be kept low but audible and the sound quality is sufficiant to enjoy your music while keeping your 360 awareness. And you dont have to worry about those awkward moments when the saftey guy asks you a question and you can answer him while the band plays on. I would pay 200 dollars for a real qality set. However these are workable, and I Will Not be Returning them. The batter lasts me 8 hrs with no problem. Hopefully we will go to 10s or 12s then put em to the test. IBEW 518 D949354

Quality american made..with great battery life and excellent sound quality and ear protection

Ok. I bought these for two reasons. One was for shooting and the other was for air travel. I wanted BT capable earbuds with noise cancellation and mics. These fit the bill nicely. My only complaint with the is the foam that goes in your ear. Not their issue but mine, the smalls slipped out of my ears. I have had this happen with other ear sets so i knw its my issue. I think a custom mold would help me.So far i have used them to listen to calls and music both got an A for that. I also used them for shooting skeet which it gets an A. The gun noise was reduced to well below hearing levels.The other thing i noticed is the mics. They can pick up some good soft sounds. And even using them outside to just tryout they picked up birds and cars from a good distance.Iam very happy with my purchase.Just remember there are TWO volume buttons. One for BT and one for the mics.

Haven't used these indoors yet, but they work great at an outdoor range. Just used them for a week-long Gunsite class and the battery lasts all day and recharges in about a half hour or less. While I purchased extra foam tips, the originals are holding up well with maybe 60 hrs of in-ear wear. For me, they tend to slide a bit loose in the ear canal when the ear gets sweaty, but I just push them back in. The bluetooth sound is OK, but not up to my Samsung buds. So far my biggest gripe is the instruction book is not very informative. Had to go to YouTube to find out how to pair the bluetooth with my phone.

Before now I always wore a baseball hat with electronic earmuffs in order to hear the rangemaster calling the shots. Now I need to wear a full-brimmed hat as I get older due to skin cancer worries. These let me wear that hat and still get amplification of range commands while noise cancelling as shots ring out helps protect my hearing. I've been shooting for 43 years and would buy these again.

Compared to the other noise canceling go in your ear pieces these are the most comfortable I foundThe cable that goes around your neck could be a little bit bigger (I have a very thick neck ) the control unit that controls the volume of the headset and controls your phone I would like it better if it was on the left side because I'm a Right shooter

So, because of my work I'm around loud explosions and gunshots rather regularly. And I understand the absurdity of this, because really no electronic hearing protection is going to do a great job by itself blocking the rock-your-world percussion of an 84mm recoilless rocket, you're going to want to double up with foamies, which you can't do with these. As it is. After standing in considerable close proximity (2-30 ft) to about 6 of those rockets going off, they kept working! I know, not the greatest endorsement in the world. I would say that these are probably perfect for a normal day at a civilian range, which I haven't had since 2020 lol. Ah, the ability to use Bluetooth and have them double as ear protection is awesome. Helping my students achieve battlesight zero while jamming to Led Zeppelin made the 4 hour session go so much easier.
