I Really Want to Love These
on August 19, 2019
Posted by: John1957
from Merced, CA
Just as all have described the clip breaks. I used these daily for about a year. I'm deciding right now if I want to purchase another pair or not. Maybe I could try a repair with epoxy. It may be time to look around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Same problem as others
on June 5, 2019
Posted by: MattB
from Knoxville, TN
I got about two years worth of wear from these before the same headband problem occurred. One clip broke and about a week later the other broke. I tried repairing them with duck tape, but to no avail. If duck tape won't fix it, it's a pretty serious design flaw. Ironically, I paid the hefty price these commanded because I thought if I paid that much for them, they would surely last a long time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Broken at the same place as shown on other reviews
on June 3, 2019
Posted by: 1960science
from Reno, NV
I liked this electronic hearing protection unit right up until the moment it broke - and I have worn them less than 20 times. They broke in exactly the same place many of the other reviewers have reported problems. The wire mount for the ear cup puts enough pressure on the plastic connecting piece to the head band that a tab breaks and the cup no longer seals against the side of your head. This is a very poor design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Headband broke EXACTLY like all the others!

I logged on here because these were GREAT, right up until the headband broke at EXACTLY the same spot as everyone else as listed in these reviews. Design flaw... These are EXPENSIVE! and that is such a cheap plastic tab that breaks. Very unhappy

Really liked them till the headband broke!!!
on April 6, 2019

from MD
I bought these when they first came out to use at the range and while riding on my lawn mower. I was happy with the noise reduction and the Bluetooth features right up until my headband broke. I am having the same issues as others except both my right and left side broke making these headphone worthless/unusable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Headband and Earmuff Mount Design
on March 28, 2019
Posted by: Jeepguy05
from Lakeland FL
I bought this product 2/21/18. I wear these daily in an Fabrication Facility. I was really dissatisfied with the comfort of the Headband and ear cups. Ordered aftermarket products to subdue these issues. In November after wearing these for 40+ hours a week the mounts for the Ear Muffs failed. And have gotten progressively worse over time. Now they are to the point where it doesn't hold pressure on to your head. I wish you had replacement parts available for the ear muffs mounts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does as expected but not totally
on January 15, 2019
Posted by: OSO_TX
from SC
I am currently on my 2nd set. The first set had the little black band spacer missing and headband seam open. As a shooting headset, it does what it says. Music plays well since I use them at work (shop floor of aviation company). What I dislike is the phone call "feature." Neither of the two sets can hold a call longer than 2 minutes before dropping audio (audio completely shuts down but headset doesn't turn off) requiring use of the phone speaker function. More often than not, this occurs within 30 seconds of attempting to talk using the headset. Don't advertise a function that either needs certain things to happen before working or doesn't work at all. Headset is fed industrial Duracell batteries and constant use gives me about 1 1/2 days of use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
