    Ear buds

    Does anyone shoot and more importantly hunt with either the Walker's game ear earbuds or the Decibullz? Be nice to have something that I can still hear but helps protect my ears when setting in the stand with someone else.

    I have some Walkers but not sure which model. I like them but I wish they fit a little further in my ear.

    Those look like they'd fit very good.

    I got a pair of Walkers for Christmas. To my disappointment they aren’t rechargeable and use a hearing aid battery. I don’t find them to be overly comfortable on hunts either.

    I have the walker game ear razor muffs, game changer for me, my biggest regret is having waited 49 years to get them. The damage to my ears is done and there is no reversing it. I am now trying to preserve what I have left. I wear them anytime I am mowing, atv riding, running power tools, shooting, I even wear them in the boat to cut the wind noise and the whine of that 250 pro xs. the razors have bluetooth and it is nice to be able to listen to music while doing some of the projects I do.

    I do all the above also. My right ear isn't to bad. My left ear is. I wish I would have taken better care of my hearing when I was younger.

    I tried a pair of the walker ones that use the hearing aid batteries. Unfortunately I have funny-shaped ear canals, and like every other earbud Ive ever used I cant get them to stay in. If you want to try a pair for cheap before investing in a good pair, hit me up, I have the ears (the used ear part cleaned with alcohol plus 2 other sets), original packaging, and a package of 20 batteries that is useless to me. These do NOT have bluetooth. I’ll be slow to respond by PM but if anyone interested they’ll be cheap.

    I have these. They suck! No way you can determine which direction the noise comes from.

    I have a pair of custom fit ear buds. I'm glad that I didn't have pay for them!!
    After fighting for too many years, the VA finally allowed my claim and they couldn't find an Audiologist that could help. So they left it up to me! My wife is a Nurse and she does risk management for a health care insurance company. I still wear ear muffs when I shoot. I hope you find some that are comfortable and do what you need.

    I'm interested in getting a pair of some type of noise cancelling earbuds for general hearing protection and also for sleeping. There are a couple of loud snorers in my circle of fishing/hunting buddies so I wonder if the Axil would work for that too. For power tools, mowers, etc. I have several pairs of ear muffs. Not sure if I'd replace all of those
    Some people are so judgemental. You can tell just by looking at 'em.--Some random meme

    None of the buds and other ear pieces fit my ears well.

    I use North Sonic valve earplugs when I need to hear but need some protection.

    I can shoot a rile out of a box stand near woods with no ear ringing or effect.
