Failure to charge
on January 11, 2025
Posted by: Dan 4570
from Wisconsin
Had the 500s for 4 years and only used them twice now they won’t charge at all right when I need them. I have an older pair of walkers that take 2 triple a Still work and I will never try a fancy peltor. Now I have to settle on the 25 year old peltor ultimate 10s.

Won't work with iPhone 16
on December 14, 2024
Posted by: wildad
This unit worked perfectly with my iPhone 13, I now have an iPhone 16 and I find it does not connect but it does cause the iPhone volume to increase dramatically. Apparently there is something different about the newest iPhone. Not happy.

Piece of junk
on August 30, 2024

from ST. Louis, Mo. 63126
It worked great for about 2 years. Now it still works technically
, but a cheap piece of broken plastic has made it impossible to wear. Many reviewers have had this same problem.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pretty good.
on June 1, 2024
Posted by: Gunlinger
I bought these about a year ago and have been using them a few times a month since on the shooting range, and more recently while mowing my lawn. I figured enough time and use has passed for a good assessment. Ambient sound through them is good, while speaking and listening it sounds quiet natural. Listening to music is ok, doesn't sound great, but definitely useable. I haven't tried a phone call so idk how that goes. I look at those as nice features but not why I bought them so even though the music could sound better, I rate it as low importance. Like others have stated the headband isn't the best and could start to hurt after a little bit. This is the biggest miss in my opinion. If I don't have them adjusted correctly it will get bothersome somewhat quickly. This should have been changed by the 2nd batch. Mine have been pretty durable. I throw them in a bag with other gear rattling around inside and they haven't had any issues. If I needed another pair would I buy them again? If it wasn't for the strap it would be a yes for sure, however right now I would at least look at some others, especially the walkers.

As good as it can’t be better: as per main functio

Weekly used for the last 18 months, 3-600 9mm shots, in between other shooters. Cannot imagine what else/ more could earmuffs offer honestly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent. Tough to fold.
on December 23, 2023
Posted by: Genghis
Excellent Bluetooth and voice status. Can hear talking but not the shooting. Very pleased. Problem with flipping to put in containers. Broken piece when flipped incorrectly, hard to know correct way to fold. Piece 7A is the weak link. Except for that huge frustration, really like the product and bought one for me and my son. Now need to figure how to get a couple piece 7A.
I would recommend this to a friend!
