My old set of Walkers finally gave up the ghost (one of the muffs broke off). I probably could have repaired it but after 10 years I don't think they owed me anything. I tried a couple of the AXIL in ear options and found they did not fit well (maybe I have weird ears) and as such were uncomfortable and really didn't keep out the noise. These new Walker's XCEL 500BT are perfect for me. They suppress sound even better than my previous pair, are comfortable and amplify sounds and let me listen to ambient sounds and conversations perfectly while block out (almost completely) the shooting sounds (I'm shooting a Glock 21 in .45 cal). They do connect via blue tooth to my Iphone so that I can listen to music and take calls if I desire. If I have one complaint it is that the music playback is not very loud... of course that might just be the muffs protecting my ears from damaging rock music. These were a little pricier than the ones I had but they came with a nice case and, essentially, you get what you pay for.

Of course for Texas ears and does so many other things to make shooting more accurate and enjoyable. Terrific product again my son loves it. Sound quality is awesome. He never runs out of battery life in the field.

2 Reviewers (DLP & Luke) mentioned the case too small or using force to make them fit are liars. Use your brain ppl.Anyway....Like:comfortable (got a big ole head)Directional (the Walker Slim Quad-Bluetooth had 4 mics but wasn't directional, heard everything equally)]Music/Sound definitely better than the Walker's Slim Quad w/ Bluetooth.Easy instructions.listening to music in the range is nice.Dislike:none (my first semi expensive earmuff)In a span of one week I bought 2 Walker's Electronic Earmuffs. 1) The Slim Quad w/ Bluetooth and then the EXCEL 500BT.I liked the concept of having Bluetooth so I bought the Quads first. But soon enough I didn't like that it was NOT Directional even though it had 4 mics. So I went online and found the EXCEL 500BT and bought them a few days after.Went to the range today and with double protection (earplugs + earmuff) the music will sound low. I removed the (standard orange) earplugs and just used the earmuffs and they did great.

SINCE I WEAR HEARING AIDS, MY DOCTOR TOLD ME I MUST TAKE THEM OUT WHEN SHOOTING OR HUNTING. THAT MAKES IT HARD TO HEAR OTHER HUNTERS, RADIOS, OR GAME. THESE ALLOW ME TO PROTECT MY HEARING AND HEAR EVERYTHING AROUND ME.

The different modes help. Powerboost mode works well when wearing earplugs under the muffs. Clearvoice noticeably isolates voices but not well enough. The spacialization of sound is good. Would have given 5 stars if there was a way to have bluetooth only without any ambient sound feedback(there is no way to just use the muffs as headphones). Get a pair of gel ear pad replacements.

A huge upgrade from my old ear protection. I bought them for the range, but use them for lawn work as well. The Bluetooth was very easy to set up.

The headband becomes uncomfortable after an hour of use. Noise cancellation is very good. Controls are not easy to feel. I will look for something else. Blue tooth phone connection is good if you don't mind a call interrupting your range time.

I have used these for hearing protection at the range. Great comfort, battery life seems great so far and the features are really nice. I use the voice enhancement at the range and it is easy to understand anyone talking during target practice.Pricey, but there is lots to love in this hearing-protection package!The Bluetooth works great too- I usually pair my phone to it at the range for awareness of important messages.
