Title: Very good budget friendly earmuffs
Review: This is a review for the 500BT model.So I got these today and tested them instantly. I can honestly say for the price I paid during Prime days I got a steal.The noise reduction is great. Noise gets blocked out instantly when a loud bang happens. Hell even the flick of my pocket knifes has the same effect. The voice enhancement is also incredible. It enhances the voices surrounding you and also enhances other noises.The weight on these is good. They arent on the light side but also not heavy.The standard earpads are good but for the money I saved during Prime days I opted for and ordered the gel pads which makes wearing them a whole lot more comfortable.I also ordered the walker case which is very tiny.But they fold absolute nicely into a small package and fit snug into the case.Imo they work exceptionally well and also look good.All the controls are easily accessible on the headband and work well.Last but not least the bluetooth also works great. No cutouts. I tried some phone calls with them and had no complaints. And I can clearly understand the people as well.Even music sounds somewhat decent. Not as good as some high-end headphones but good enough when at the range and wanting some music.All in all I can highly recommend this set of earmuffs if you're on a budget and can't spend the big bucks.

Title: Solid
Review: I recently purchased these budget-friendly hearing protection earmuffs for shooting, and I must say, they offer outstanding value for the price. As someone who frequents the range, I needed reliable protection without breaking the bank, and these earmuffs have exceeded my expectations.Comfort: The earmuffs have fairly well-padded ear cups and an adjustable headband. I wore them for a few hours with glasses and a hat with no issues.Noise Reduction: The earmuffs provide solid noise reduction, effectively diminishing the loud gunshots to a safe level without distorting other sounds too much. The different modes are interesting, but not super useful unless you are trying to hear steel pings.Build Quality: While these earmuffs are budget-friendly, they donât feel flimsy. The construction is durable enough for regular use, and the materials used are surprisingly robust for the price point.Ease of Use: The earmuffs are straightforward to use and adjust. They fold up nicely for easy storage in a range bag.Overall: If youâre in the market for affordable and effective hearing protection for shooting, these earmuffs are a fantastic choice. They offer excellent noise reduction, comfort, and durability without costing a fortune. Highly recommended

Title: Amazing Earmuffs, best I tried and kept
Review: I absolutely love these earmuffs. To be clear since amazon mixes reviews, I bought the XCEL 100 that are tan and DO NOT have bluetooth.These are extremely comfortable, block more noise than most electronic earmuffs, work on smaller heads, and have great stereo and directional voice amplification. Highly recommend especially on sale for under $70. Worth the upgradeDetailed comparison if interested on the other leading brands.I bought 3 different models to try at the same time. Howard Leight Impact Sport, Walker Razor, and Walker XCEL.Howard Leight Impact SportsPros: Stereo and directional voice amplification. Possibly best of all three. That is where it stopped for meCons: Not great for a smaller head. Couldn't make them short enough for a good seal. Hence barely blocked any noise. Thin and not comfortable pads.Walker RazorsPros: Fit slightly better than Impacts. Still not great for a smaller head but could get a better seal. A bit more comfortable with better pads.Cons: Still couldn't get them quite short enough for a good seal. Horrible sound amplification. They are Mono, Not stereo as others have mentioned. You can't tell where the voice is coming from and its just bad quality. Really disappointing in the amplification and clarity.After not being happy enough with either of these to justify the $50 and give up my Walker non electronic low profiles I returned them. A friend recommended the Walker XCELs. Reviews were good on the 100, not great on the bluetooth higher model. I don't need to listen to music in a shooting range so I didn't care about bluetooth.XCELSPros: Great fit, great seal, could adjust them smaller than the others. Comfortable enough to wear for multiple hours at the range. Amazing sound clarity for amplification. 3 different settings that I don't find a huge difference on but all have slightly different focus for types of amplification. The controls on the band and the cord to the side let you make the earmuffs smaller and I really like the controls on the band. Others don't, but I find them so much easier to use. And with a 4 arrow configuration, really easy to feel which button I'm pressing. The pads are thicker and block more noise. I will admit that I bought a pair of noisefighter sightline gel replacement pads to help the seal around my eyeglasses. But the stock pads were good.Cons: Only con I can really think of is that they are a little thicker as they are a mid profile and not slim profile. But because of this you get a few more points in the noise block rating. I like this since I do shoot rifles quite a bit. I don't find them to get in my way while shooting the rifles either. So the mid profile is a little bigger and adds a bit of weight, but again, not a real con because it adds benefits.Only other con is that I wish the bluetooth model 500 worked better because that would have been a nice feature, but again, not a con of the 100s since they don't have the bluetooth.Overall a great purchase and well worth the $20-$30 price raise from the impact sport or razors.Hope this helps

Review: I made use of these at the shooting range. I fall at all safety procedures. Put them on. Was able to hear everything. like even the people standing behind me commenting on my first two groupings.Then when I packed up my firearm and was preparing to leave the range I had to lift the earmuffs to get my face mask off. It was then I realized how good these actually work.I wish they were a bit more versatile. just because I'd like to attach them to a hard hat and use them for work as well. Otherwise, for hunting, shooting range, all the above... Awesome!
