    •
  • Batteries can drain while in storage so users can take them out between uses. Also be sure to store ear buds in a low humidity environment. Battery draining faster in one ear over the other could be due to one directional sound causing one to work more than the other. The primary use for the silencer ear pieces is for suppressing loud sounds, not for carrying conversations as with using these as a hearing aid.

However, some customers report that the headphones are very noisy in the wind and in the car, and that they tend to knock out the sound of the car or tires.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Electronic Ear Protection For Those Who Wear Broad-Brimmed Hats While Shooting.
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018
Color: blackVerified Purchase
Picked these up for a shooting school and they have performed very well. The NRR is as promised and the shots were cut off as described but I could still hear conversations and instructions from the range master. The tips are a bit awkward to insert but if you reach across the top of your head and lift your ear while also pulling rearward, the tip goes in and seats correctly just like regular foam plugs. Once the foam expands, the sounds outside are nicely deadened to where you can barely hear anyone talking. I flipped the switch on the left-ear piece first and adjusted the volume after hearing the chime tones. Then I turned the left-ear piece off and adjusted the right ear-piece the same way. Then I turned both ear pieces on and made minor adjustments to balance the sound. The case and included tool plus two batteries were a very nice touch. The local Walmart has these batteries on the rack, so they are pretty easy to obtain.

There have been complaints about the batteries dying after a few hours use, but this hasn't been my experience. My batteries were still going strong after the four-day class. Each day was 7 to 8 hours in length (28 - 32 hours use total). These were the batteries that came with the ear piece set. I checked the ear piece about 10 days later. Although the switch was off, the batteries were dead, so the 80 hour lifetime is probably pretty good estimate. The key to good battery life is to activate the batteries correctly before installing them. Do one ear piece at a time. Remove the plastic sticker by peeling it off then let the battery sit of at least one minute to fully activate. Insert the activated battery into the battery holder and close the door. Then reinstall the silicone ear hook and the foam ear piece. Repeat on the other ear piece. If you do not do it this way, the battery will not work properly and will probably die after a few hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Economical way to save your hearing
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021
Color: blackVerified Purchase
NOTE: As with any review, the item must be reviewed with the understanding that most things have limitations. That’s why despite the wind noise issue I still give these buds a 5 star rating.

I have been a waterfowl and upland game hunter my whole life. I have never been a fan of hearing protection for the same reasons that most hunters shy away from it: It’s too bulky (causes issues with cheek weld with rifles or shotguns), and you can’t hear required ambient sounds of birds on approach etc. When I waterfowl hunt solo, I can control my shots and the noise doesn’t have too much noticeable affect on my hearing (it does,p whether I admit it or not). However, while hunting with my son or in groups, especially in pit style blinds, adjacent shots can be a real hearing killer.

I decided to give the Walker’s Silencer buds a try. The Bluetooth rechargeable versions were interesting in concept, but I really didn’t want to deal with the Bluetooth connectivity, pulling out my phone to adjust, etc. so I opted for these and saved some money.

I used them for the first time on a pit blind waterfowl hunt yesterday. They ran great! The simple on off switch and manual volume adjustment knobs were very simple to get used to. The adjacent shots from other hunters were eliminated to a dull puff. They were comfortable in my ears. I wore them all morning without any pain or discomfort. They fit my ears very well and felt secure.

As with any electronic hearing protection, wind noise is terrible. I’ve used top end over ear muffs that suffer from the same issue. We had 15 -20 mph winds in the blind and no matter what I did the wind came through, hard. Despite that, the benefit of these buds is apparent. There are many days where there are minimal or zero winds. These will work great those days. I am also going to work on a solution with some sort of tiny baffle from the microphone area. If the wind gets to be too much, a simple flick of the off switch turns them into solid ear plugs.

As for battery life. They run off of size 10 hearing aid batteries. I bought a 60 pack of batteries for less than $20 here on Amazon. At less than .30 cents for each battery, the cost is a non issue. I ran them all day yesterday, forgot to turn one off when done and it is still going strong this morning.

As a hunter in my late 40’s, I can’t tell you how bad I have been to my ears over the years. I am beginning to pay the price. I will force my boy to wear these from now one.

If not these, get something!! Good luck!

I brought these as they were a reasonable price . But these where shockingly bad . Just a constant white noise . The only way to stop it was to have them so low you might as well have a £0.50 pair of plugs in . So my conclusion is not for me spend the money and buy some cens

Battery power is better than i thought it would be, sound quality is pretty good too. Batteries are available quite cheaply and are easy enough to swap out. Work well to protect ears from shots etc. Happy with product - comfortable to wear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but has some flaws
Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2024
Color: blackVerified Purchase
They work for filtering loud noises. The problem is there is a constant whirring sound that never goes away, at higher volumes this noise cannot be ignored. Also makes very loud noises in outdoor environments when the wind blows on the microphones.

For anyone not familiar with hearing aid batteries, they have a short fixed lifespan, and they're constantly working even when the earphones are off. So if you don't use them often, you'll find yourself replacing batteries very often because the batteries last about a week once they're activated.

The fitment on the earplugs is okay, but not amazing. Definitely should be replaced with custom fit earplugs if you want full protection when using them to filter loud noises.
