I found these to provide adequate protection when shooting pistols at the range. They are much more comfortable than earmuff type protectors and are much easier to shoot rifles in. The batteries lasted about 4 or 5 days of all day shooting at the range. They gave warning beeps when they needed to be replaced. All in all, I was pleased with them. Being able to turn them off is a big plus.

These work great. Can’t complain at all on function. The problem is they use hearing aid batteries and once you put the batteries in the clock is ticking. These type of batteries only last 3-7 days if you use them or not. This translates to changing batteries very often. The batteries themselves aren’t very expensive but changing them every time I use them is a hassle. The 80 hr battery life is quite misleading. It’s a shame because as far as function they work very well. If I would have realized this I wouldn’t have bought them. Maybe it was stated somewhere but I sure didn’t see it

Although older and replaced with an internal battery, I prefer the replaceable type 10 hearing aid disposables. Worked well inside the range, was able to clearly hear the RO and didn't have to waste time or fiddle with standard foam plugs or headsets. Battery's are cheap online and are available almost anywhere.

As a firearms instructor and hunter, I need to protect my hearing as everyone else but a recent "injury" to my hearing, unrelated to these activities, made it even more necessary to take actions beyond wearing the electronic earmuffs I normally wear, or so I thought. While the electronic earmuffs worked well at the range during instruction, they were cumbersome during hunting. Normally, during hunting, I did not wear much protection at all so I could hear game approach. My recent injury made it painful, and further injured my hearing, to hunt/shoot without protection. I bought these Ear Buds to solve the hunting problem and to use during instruction, thinking they would work equally as well as muffs and be more convenient. While wearing the buds I can hear voices without problems but they do not fit tightly and deeply enough into the ear canal to really sufficiently block out the sound of shots. I have tried all the optional ear bud ends (3 sizes) provided with the unit but none effectively close off the ear canal enough to insure that the full effect of the sound of the shot is channeled through the electronics to fully deaden the shot sound. At this point, I'm planning to have a custom set of ear canal plugs made and then drill a small hole in them to insert the ear bud's tube so I can replace the provided ear bud ends. In this way I hope to be able to completely block the sound of the shot by eliminating the sound waves from going "around" the supplied ear bud ends and letting the electronics do their job more effectively. These might be fine, as is, for people without existing hearing problems planning to use them during hunting, however, if you have a problem, these won't work equal to electronic ear muffs, especially at the range. That's why I would not recommend them to those who have issues as I do or are expecting to get equal or better performance than electronic ear muffs which cost significantly less.Read full review

I bought these to help me at the range, and in the field. They claimed to have "full range" speakers. These ear buds pick up absolutely no bass at all. They claim to amplify hearing 5 times. They do not. And they have a constant hiss to them when turned on at any volume level. It is even present at the lowest volume setting. You can hear high pitched sounds. Like something walking in the leaves, and even mid tones such as voices. But absolutely no low frequency sound. I watched a video of turkeys strutting. I could hear the spit and drum with my naked ears. All i could hear with the earbuds on was a portion of the spit, and not one bit of the drum. For the range these would be great. They work for conversations. But they are not "full range". That advertisement and the 5x hearing increase is why i bought them. The batteries did last a long time, 4 days to be exact, being turned off and on trying them out in different locations. The woods, back yard, house, and while shooting. So at least that part was true. Bottom line, if you want them for hunting, get something else. All i got was an expensive set of ear plugs that i can't return. At least i will look cool at the range.Read full review
