Can't find hygine kit
on January 1, 2020

I've had these for a few years. I quite like them, perform well enough and fold up nicely. BUT I can't find a hygine kit now that the pads are worn out. 3M didn't respond to emails about part numbers and shops can't find the right kit, I'm not even sure you can buy one? That makes them cheap, thow-away rubbish at a a really high price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They have a lot of wind noise and interference. The vinyl on the foam ear pads falls apart and replacement parts aren't available. They're tight on the head which causes discomfort when pressing on glasses. I'll look elsewhere for replacements.

Have had a pair of these for about a year and used them for shooting sports. They attenuate the loud noises well, but the delay is long... 1-2 seconds. During the shots, the attenuation seems to be about 100% of any amplification, or almost a complete "mute" for those 1-2 seconds. If you're shots are placed close together, it's as if there no amplification of any outside sound, almost as if you're wearing non-electronic/amplified protectors. According to 3M tech support, they are function properly and this is how they are intended to operate.
One excellent thing-- I leave them in my range bag; on several occasions I have failed to turn them off. When donning them, I noticed they've been left on and expect I'll have to replace batteries because they've run down--but they never do. Not sure if this is an "auto-off" feature, but I don't think I've had to replace the batteries but once in the year I've owned them.
Certainly not a bad product, they've been robust and served their purpose, but I've found their function doesn't fully fit my needs as a competitive shooter. I am a little perplexed by this since they are sold as "tactical" I certainly would expect this mode of operation to work well in a real tactical situation. Other brands offer shooters better function at a more competitive price point.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will be sure to forward your comments. The sound suppression does seem to be working correctly from your description. When the shots noise is picked up by the unit, the suppression kicks in to dampen the noise and protect your hearing. The unit does also have the auto shutoff feature to protect your battery life. If you have any additional feedback or questions, please feel free to reach out to our team at 1-800-494-3552 Mo-Fri 8am-5pm CT.
Wife an I each have these. We have to remove the batteries after each use or the batteries will be dead next time out. Had this happen first 3 times we used them with 3 sets of new batteries. Started removing the batteries after use, problem solved. But we should not need to do that
