  "game" changer

  Worth every penny and some. I was sceptical of the performanc...e of these active noise cancelling headphones, due to their (comparatively) low price. But was hugely impressed after my first outing. They were still comfortable after 5 hours of continuous use, all of which I was able to hear my father talking at normal volumes some 30-40 yards away. They had some interference from wind, but considering the 30mph steady breeze, and 40-50mph gusts, that is to be expected and was by no means a hindrance or even annoyance. With the ambient amplification up a few notches, I was able to hear a woodcock get up some 50 yards behind me, a blackbird land on a fence no less than 75 yards to my left, and every misstep the old man took through the heather. The neckband is more flexible than I had thought it would be, making it very comfortable to the point of not feeling it there after long. But the whole assembly feel very sturdy and well made. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, will be buying for my partner shortly.

  The charging instructions are wrong.

  The unit must be charged for 10 or more... hours before use. The instructions with the unit do not tell you this. If you only charge until the red led goes out it will not operate more than 4 hours and will not reset as it should so you can use another 4 hours. I like the unit & it works well for the 4 hour period. Called the company and they told me the initial charge must be 10 hours. To return the unit you MUST have proof of purchase and will take 3 to 4 weeks. If you need to use for hunting season you may be up a creek like I am.

  Mixed bag of good/bad

  The unit works as it should as far as protecting heari...ng, but only for 4-4 1/2 hours, then it dies. I contacted Walkers and I was told that was the battery life. That is unacceptable to me. There should at least be a provision for an external cell to power it. Why should I buy a 2nd or 3rd unit to get all day coverage? I f I had know it wouldn't work for a full day I never would have purchased it.

  Great to hear about a product like this.

  As a sufferer of Menier’s Disease, ...any help in hearing during a hobby I will never give up. Hunting is a great honor and pastime all over the US. The ability to hear details can make or break a great hunting experiance. These are a wonderful technical enhancement for my situation. They worked flawlessly for ove five hours on my first trip. Great features, lightweight and not cumbersome at all. They worked wonderfully when a shot was fired and dropped the DB level down perfectly. I wore them several days, charging them at night and had great results. Work great if your a shooter, and even during the rap session after the hunt back at camp. I would not hesitate to offer them to anyone!

  It works but not perfect

  This item is perfect for pistol shooting. For rifl...e shooting, it is ok in the shooting range but might not be great in the field. The collar might interfere with quick gun mount. It is definitely a problem with shotgun shooting. I have to invent a way to "anchor" the collar so it stays away from gunstock. It is very noisy in a windy day.
