That is accurate, so pretty much a new set of batteries every time you shoot. That got old quick for me. The only option is taking the batteries out of the unit which meant I could never find them again when I needed them.
I have thought of trying them many times, but hesitate because they may not fit. I need x-tra small ear pieces.Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 5:25 pm Walkers makes great stuff! I own 3-4 pairs of their electronic muffs and I love them! They have never let me down so far for my personal use. I also use them as loaners for students so I don’t have to scream to be heard when giving range instructions.
Now, over a year ago I mostly switched to their ear buds because they are so darn comfortable for long term wearing. Doing a 4-6 hour class with over the ear muffs can be trying at best for me. Just a thought, the one thing I would recommend is an upgrade of your idea to their rechargeable ones https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1022561693?pid=424434
I’ve been running the BT version of these as my primary hearing protection. They stay in the Jeep where I plug them into one of the USB ports and they are always ready for action. I had a set of their older ones with the button batteries and it seems every time I needed them I couldn’t find the batteries or the ones I had were now dead after just one wearing. That got old quick.
BTW they are great for hunting too, they greatly enhance your hearing
The BT feature, while not necessary, is quite handy so I can take calls from the wife and business associates while at the range. They pair rather nicely with my iPhone so I can also listen to music while I run-n-gun. I think they are also on sale for just a few $$s more.

I HATE my Walker muffs.
Not because of function, but because I HATE wearing muffs, period. They do the thing, but I really can’t determine where sound is coming from. But I hate hunting with regular plugs, as I don’t want to have to shove them in my ear holes quickly, or wear them constantly.

They are made of the same type foam that disposable ear plugs are made off but I guess a more durable type. You roll them in your hands until they are warm and thin, shove them in your ears and let them expand. They seal in a few seconds. Have pretty small ear canals too and I’ve had no issues.Diver43 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 6:13 pmI have thought of trying them many times, but hesitate because they may not fit.

Are they small? I sent an email to Walkers but never heard back
I wanted to try these.

Even though I hate ear muffs, I may have to grab those.
Do they come with multiple sizes of ear plugs?CPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 10:34 pm Got the Caldwell electronic ear hole pluggers. First glance, I like them. Need to charge them and set them up. Only
Had the left one working, but I could hear the birds chirping.
Totally talking out of my ass, but I’m not certain they would be great for all day range use. I’m skeptical of the db reduction rating. And seems like they may fall out of you are being active.
Again, talking from my ass.
But for hunting? Yep. Think they will be ok.
Yes. Small medium and large.Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 10:51 pmDo they come with multiple sizes of ear plugs?CPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 10:34 pm Got the Caldwell electronic ear hole pluggers. First glance, I like them. Need to charge them and set them up. Only
