Works as advertised with all the features they say. I have only had it a few days enougb to test it once. But it was inside an indoor range where I was placed between a 357 revolver shooter and an AR15. I thought I would have to double up hearing protection but surprisingly I could feel the percussion blast alot more than I could hear it. As long as they last over the years itll remain 5 stars..I purchased from Nolan’s River Bay, seller is very resposnive and answered all my questions before even buying the product.

I was disappointed in these ear muffs the on off volume buttons are too small or hard to find while you are wearing them once you do find the right button it’s too hard to get the buttons to do what you want on/off volume up down . I did like the fact that the ear muffs were thin and offered a 26 NRR but if I could do it over again I would spend a little more and get the pro ears brand one simple knob on each ear on/off and volume up and down that’s easy to find . One other thing the picture I saw on Amazon and other web sites show them to be tan or light brown mine were light grey .

Comfortable, soft ear pads, controls are easy to reach and adjust. Bluetooth is great. You can listen to music, audiobooks and take phinrcallsWell worth the price, best earmuff IV ever had/used in 40+ years of shooting!

I have tried both the Walker’s XCEL and the Howard Leight Impact Sport. Here are my thoughts on the biggest differences:SEAL: XCEL (and other Walker earmuffs) narrow near the bottom of the ear cushion. This design provides a way better seal. The Howard Leight is square and wide at the bottom which compromises the seal at the bottom corners. This one isn’t even close. XCEL wins.CUSHIONS: XCEL has thicker and softer cushions. Howard Leight has thin and harder cushions. I still plan on getting noisefighters at some point but the difference is that the XCEL cushions can actually be used effectively and its not REQUIRED to get the noisefighters. I would argue, like many others, that the Howard Leight’s NEED the noisefighters to actually become effective. XCEL cushions work although getting noisefighters would help even more in terms of comfort. XCEL wins.SIZE: Howard Leight is nice and slim and looks great on your head. The XCEL is medium sized. Not chunky but also not slim. I don’t shoot rifles so cheek weld isn’t a problem for me but it could be a problem for you. So if that’s a concern, you’ll need to test them out. I think the tradeoff is worth the extra performance but it comes down to personal preference. Howard Leight wins.

I used these since Feb 2019 to go to the Range 4 times and when I put them on today the left eat cup came out when adjusting the size for my large head. When they worked they were very nice and comfortable. I hust think after 4 ueses they should work without coming apart.

Having four modes of suppression is convenient. Does a great job of suppressing firearms while making it still very easy to hear fellow shooters talking. Having the controls moved onto the headband was easy to adapt to. The layout is simple and intuitive. I typically wear these for about three hours every time I’m out at the range and they never get uncomfortable. I snagged my first pair when they were priced at $50. A few weeks later they had already gone up to $65 so I grabbed another pair as back up. At $50 they were an impressive value. Even worth $65, but hopefully they don’t continue to go up in price. nice range muffs!
