I had two pair. Neither one worked well. I bought them through Amazon. The first one started squealing when it git a little sweat in the ear piece. I sent it back and the replacement did the same thing. I thin just got my money back..

I use theseThe first pair I got from Dicks, and broke them on a cold morning (~0*F) while goose hunting. I slung my shotgun on my shoulder and the barrel barely touched them. Since it was so cold, they were brittle and the piece where the headband clipped to the muff broke. I took them back and exchanged them. I haven't had any problems with their replacements. We bought a couple more pairs of them cheap for the kids on Black Friday at Menards last year.

I got a pair of Howard Leight's noise cancelling/ sound amplifting muffs. They are great for cancelling the blast of a gun while shooting. They also amplify noise like a goose/duck honk when goose or duck hunting. They also amplify wind noise blowing thru a tree, not good.

They are sound, wanted it or not, amplifiers.. I'm a half mile off I64 and the sound of traffic is horrible. Especially on cold days when tires are humming. Diesel truck going up hill really gets after it...

Try some factory reconditioned walker alphas that can be found under $40. I have extensive experience hunting with hearing protection and reccomend it for everyone! May take a while to find a pair you like.

I may get more wind up on the flat land for my food plot, but in the bottom, what wind I get seems to easily switch directions as if swirling. If there is a lot of wind down there, I won't be seeing any deer anyway. I may try a pair some day, but lower down my want list.

I play my iPhone thru these. They work fairly well but have some static and interference problems. I tested them out while mowing. What I don't like about them is the volume is not independently adjustable for each ear. Have tried two different styles it the Walker alphas. Found out the 4 microphone type are a bad idea if you plan on wearing a hood (rain). Ps by them in advance and let them air out cause they have a strong plastic smell.

I might like independent ear adjustments. My left ear is better than my right. I would think, but don't know, that it might help to make sure the noise was coming in a certain direction. Sometimes it hard for me to identify this as my left ear will hear the noise even though it's on the other side of my head. By turning one down, possibly I could confirm the direction???
