I bought these to listen to music while I mow and do yard work. While the hearing protection is great, It's not so great for listening to music. The volume could be a little louder and it does not have much bass. They work excellent at the shooting range. There is no indicator light to let you know if they are on. For the price I wish I bought a pair of over the ear headphones instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Getting use to the XCEL 500BT

I got them last night. Quick review of the instructions. Paired it to my iPhone easily. The sound is pretty good. Very surprised. Learning the different modes of sound passage modes. I bought the gel ear molds. Have not installed them yet. The stock ear pads so far are comfortable. Will be taking them to the range soon. I did a lot of research online with reviews of different companies hearing protection before this purchase. I looked for everything other than Walker. Planning on buying their product. With the 26 dB noise reduction rating being the best. I bought the XCEL 500BT. Will be using these for more than just shooting. I do not trust Duracel batteries that it came with. My experience, they leak. I am an energizer battery user.

Great features

saw the reviews from a couple of years ago that say you can't independently adjust exterior sound amplification from Bluetooth volume control. It even says they contacted CSR. NOT TRUE. If you look at the head band controls that are side facing or facing to the left vs to the back of your headband when wearing them. Those controls take care of the sound boosting tech and all your menu functions related to sound dampening. The buttons facing back on the thin edge of the headband controls all your Bluetooth connected controls for Bluetooth volume which can also be controlled from your Bluetooth connected device. Headband is a little tight if you have a big melon head but it also gives a great ear cup seal to lock out and protect your ears from dangerous noise levels. I've use them all the time at the range and also at work in loud mechanical rooms. I recommend them all the time to the guys I work with.

My favorite pair

I can’t explain how much I love these earmuffs compared to other expensive brands. I feel like they’re in their own lane when it comes to comfort and quality the feature I love most is that auto turn off because I always forget to turn them off where I go to use my other pairs from other brands they end up dead, but my walkers are always charged and ready although I do agree with some of the other reviews that say the Bluetooth should fully block everything out instead of being able to hear things that would be really nice.
I also agree with the other comment the guy left I would definitely be down to test those for you if you ever make them lol

Excellent

I've had these over 8 months now. I use them for shooting and when on my mower and tractor. They work perfectly and never have an issue connecting to my phone. Sound is excellent and batteries last longer than I thought they would. This is my first Walker's and that's all I will ever own now!
