SILENCER 2.0 EAR BUDS

I bought these from Amazon in mid 2021 and used them sporadically for a while until I put them aside. I did find that they worked at the range to mitigate the noise, but didn't seem to amplify the voices of people I was trying to speak with very well. I put them aside because of my frustrations with getting them to work the way I wanted... understand conversations with other folks when at the range. About a 2 months ago I decided to try them again. DOA - they would not charge. So basically they are an expensive pair of ear plugs. I did email walker and got NO response. I ended up buying a pair of range earmuffs from another company which do allow me to have normal conversations with others at the range and work the way I was expecting the Walkers to work. Lessons learned; I will never again buy anything that has non-replaceable batteries and will return immediately if I'm not happy with an item.

These work well for me for the indoor range. I had to pick the right ear piece , if it's not a good fit it doesn't block noise and my ears rang. You have to really scrunch it down and then it expands in your root canal. My regular ear muffs would start to hurt with my glasses after a while. These eliminate that problem. There's a slight learning curve but then they're easy. They last a Couple times at the range, an hour each and then I charge the case again. Used a half a dozen times Overall very satisfied.

I only gave one star because I can't give less. I purchased two pairs for my shooting buddy and myself. Both sets experienced the exact same issues. First, the ear buds did not charge properly the first time, We had the ear buds in the case and the case plugged in for over 24 hours. The ear buds on one set died within one hour and the second set did not turn on at all. Secondly, the description indicates that these have three different modes, however, the owners manual does not describe how to change the mode and no matter how much we swiped tapped and such, we could not get them to change mode. Lastly, the voice enhancement was non-existent. Sounds around us such as the wind was absolutely enhanced to an ear blowing level, but, ALL voices were cut out and we would have been better offs having foam ear plugs in.

Good product.

For those that like me that try to turn on the headsets on arrival, most probably the battery is depleted and needs to be charged. That first charge for some reason you need to align the headsets perfectly or else they won’t charge at all. Make sure the red light stays lit for a while and not momentarily when you put them on the case. Once they are fully charge they work, and they cancel noise great. I compared with my Walker’s Razor and could say they isolate the noise better or almost the same. Will take them to the indoor range soon. I will update the results ****UPDATE**** Went to an indoor range to finally test these and they work great! I would say that compared to the over-the-ear models these work the same or even better, with the advantage that I can now wear my eye protection without any issues! Only downside: the RSOs will be checking on you from time to time because they think you’re not wearing anything! Still can’t say anything about durability, but so far I’m really happy with the results

They work good, but they only last about 4 hours. Not nearly long enough for my needs.

They performed compently as basic hearing protection, but fundamental operation was problematic. The expanding foam tips and fins fit tight within my ears and passively blocked all outside noise effectively. But, as with any ear bud, they may not fit your ear as well as mine. The active noise reduction also worked well when operated properly. However, since these buds use touch control instead of physical buttons, they are difficult to operate consistently. This is because each bud turns on and off by simply touching its exterior flat surface and volume is changed by swiping up or down. The manual warns you to avoid touching this area while fitting them in your ear so that they don't turn on inadvertently, which I found very troublesome. Although the buds do voice announce when they are turned on and off, the announcements sound very similar and the volume always defaults to its lowest setting upon powering on. This makes it very difficult to hear and understand the announcement in any non-silent environment. The earbuds would often [without knowing] turn on before I had them properly seated in my ears, so when I touched them [to what I thought was turning them on] they would turn off and I couldn't tell if they were on or off. They would frequently turn off while making slight fit adjustments or when just temporarily removing them from your ear. Once you have them in your ears and configured properly, they work really well as long as you don't touch or remove them frequently. However, I don't feel that they are worth their price and I ultimately returned them.

So after spending over $200 for these earbuds, I was super excited to get them so quickly. Promptly tried them on and they didn’t turn on. I was leaving for a day or two so I plugged the charger in my garage and let the charger sit for 24 hrs. When I returned home the charger was fully charged, but the earbuds still wouldn’t turn on. I watched a few YouTube videos and tried some of the hacks people had found, still nothing worked. Not sure if I got a lemon or if this is more common that not. Needless to say after spending that much money for a hearing protection system you would figure they would actually work. Returning them and bought a slightly less expensive pair of buds and they worked right out of the box. I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying these, complete waste of money and time.

these are R600 (non bluetooth) with Silencer 2.0 packaging. Also neither ear bud will turn on. Calling Amazon for a full refund.

Llegado el paquete puse a cargar la base, leí las instrucciones de carga y lo deje un rato, intenten cargar los protectores, pero simplemente hacían como que cargaban y nada ni siquiera prendían, no funcionaron ni dejándolos cargar mas de 5 horas, simplemente estaban defectuosos, los devolví de inmediato y ahora Amazon no me hace mi reembolso.
