Just a little update folks, The new version of the Howard Leight appears to have directional microphones so you can hear the direction sounds are coming from, ALSO Walkers has release a new version that come standard with gel ear cups AND Auto Shutoff!!!! Both companies are improving their products! LINKS IN DESCRIPTION

@harvestblades 3 жыл бұрын

any links for the new models on amazon? With the Walker's I see their X-TRM have gel pads, but there are after markets gels for both brands around $20.

@@PilotPatriot too many reviews,videos ect. Still digging up mixmatched used foam plugs from under the truck seat to pop off a few shots. I like to shoot something like I may have to in real life..stray dogs ,meth head ,ect ect. You know all the scenarios that most likely will never happen that us gun ppl conger up in our obsessive gun habits.rural area in nc,picture a regular dude(me)cruising down the gravel driveway that is almost too long to do twice a day for the past few years.NEED ELECTRIC GOLF CART.rain snow dark .rushing sometimes.4 wheeler would be what I would rather spend a bunch of money on but combustion engines don’t get crunk an go around here. My newest ride is a 96 4 runner. Take care of them,they take care of you. Tangents! Apologies.Muffs..going to push buy on walkers. The new gel cup ones if not too much more expensive. Will go through your link if it’s below. U may get a few cents. Adds up. Like some in ear Bluetooth for music ph call ect. For the bus walks ,nature walks canoeing etc. don’t listen to music much at all last 5-10 years. Need more music in me life. Ya know. L8r PS. Patty Loveless made eyes at me at a concert many moons ago. Back when I went to concerts more.

Razors have a system of inner ear plugs that integrate with outer muffs? OPS Core AMP's do, but that is a $900 set of plugs & muffs

@PilotPatriot Жыл бұрын

@Aric Stephen no, but inner ear plugs are like $0.02 you can just put on some ear plugs then put on the razors

My walkers work great. Suppress my pistol noise very well. Had just finished dumping a mag on target and heard a branch snap. Looked around and watched a big (250-300lb) black bear walk out of the tree line, 35yd. away. I was amazed how loud the cracking branch was at that distance. They're not stereo but but a quick look around found the source of the crack. Would highly recommend.🙂👍

Good video. I have a pair of the HLs, but need a second pair. Thin is good for a good check weld when shooting a rifle. And the auto shut off sure is nice, but comfort is nice also. The rubber on my HLs also got a little tacky. It's not terrible, just a tad annoying. I always thought I must have gotten cleaner, sun screen, or bug spray on them. I never noticed a lag though. Shooting unsurpressed rifles, and at the range around others, I like to wear foam ear plugs also. Then I turn the volume up on the muffs so I can hear range commands. It makes a big difference at the end of the day.

I never even tried the standard pads, but the gel pads are super comfortable and have a great seal with eye pro. The metal mic protectors don't seem to have an issue with wind noise, and they appear to be more durable than foam. The set overall feels pretty well made. I'm happy with the purchase.

I'm tossing 3 pair of the Howard Leight Impact Sports and 1 pair of the Howard Leight Impact Pro because all the rubber parts, like you mentioned, turned sticky. I tried the alcohol trick but its only a temporary solution. All 4 were purchased in Oct 2014. I'm undecided if I got my moneys worth or not since I have a 30+ no name non electronic set that are almost brand new. Other than that they were great. I'm trying out a pair of Peltor Sport to replace them. Their reaction time is noticeably quicker than Howard Leight but they seem to be made cheaper. I do like the fit better. I'm going to try the Walker Razors. Thanks

I own the Walker's Patriot and they are uncomfortable if you move the earpads up closer to the headband it doesn't allow them to tilt open and not to sit flat against the side of your head and the pads may be thicker but they are very soft material and they tend to flatten out and they feel loose on my head they move around alot when I'm wearing them if I adjust them so they don't hit the headband they are sticking up really high above my head another issue is they hit the stock of my rifle because they stick out far along the bottom and it's squared off instead of being rounded like they should be so basically everything they should be doing they don't do well aside from the nice volume control and audio quality

@PilotPatriot 2 жыл бұрын

Indoor shooting is much louder than outdoor. Electronic muffs are designed to amplify other sound but muffle the shot. If you turn the microphones down or off as you described, they are effectively the exact same as non electric muffs. Which in an indoor range is better.....so electronic muffs are still best of both worlds.
