My walkers work great. Suppress my pistol noise very well. Had just finished dumping a mag on target and heard a branch snap. Looked around and watched a big (250-300lb) black bear walk out of the tree line, 35yd. away. I was amazed how loud the cracking branch was at that distance. They're not stereo but but a quick look around found the source of the crack. Would highly recommend.🙂👍

Thank you for this review! I wish every review I watched was this informative, concise, and seemingly non-biased. Great job!

Unlike other videos that compare different products, this guy actually tries on both products and shows how he adjusts them for his head.

Thank you for not having a 2 minute intro to tell us you're doing a video. Very helpful and informative, I just subscribed.

This is exactly the video I was looking for, it answered all the questions I had. Thank you for the detailed comparison.

At 9:05 I was simultaneously watching your video and ordering the Walkers on Amazon. Thank you for taking the time to review these.

Just a little update folks, The new version of the Howard Leight appears to have directional microphones so you can hear the direction sounds are coming from, ALSO Walkers has release a new version that come standard with gel ear cups AND Auto Shutoff!!!! Both companies are improving their products! LINKS IN DESCRIPTION

Razors have a system of inner ear plugs that integrate with outer muffs? OPS Core AMP's do, but that is a $900 set of plugs & muffs

@PilotPatriot

Жыл бұрын

@Aric Stephen no, but inner ear plugs are like $0.02 you can just put on some ear plugs then put on the razors

I have the Walker Excel BT. REALLY pleased. I also use them when I am on the mower. I use the Bluetooth and listen to talk radio or music. I can turn the Bluetooth volume up or down and the outside volume down so the Bluetooth volume is at a safe listening level. Love these Walkers!

After 40 years of using conventional ear pro I decided to upgrade. Glad to find this video.

Thank you for the great review! Was exactly what I was looking for all day! Was already thinking of getting a pair of walkers but still had that little bit of doubt. But thanks to you I’m now sold!!! Thanks again! 🙌🏼

@J: Which gun ear protectors did u buy, the WALKERS? Tell me what u think of 'em.

OUTSTANDING REVIEW!!!!! Been waiting for a quality review like this.

This was super helpful. I just got the Walker’s Razor patriot version and it’s good to know that when it does warm up enough to get to the range, I’ll have good ear pro.

For the price range both are good sets. I have both with thousands of hours of use. I would use foams as well when on any busy range.

Really well done ... you hit all of the questions I had and I just pulled the trigger on the Walkers. Thanks Mate!

Awesome video and loved your explanations regarding these Muffs! Now I'm all set to get my Son a pair. Hope he'll enjoy their performance! Have a safe summer and thanks!

Great review!

Got two sets of walkers on order. Got the package deal with the walkie-talkie. I had some Howard leight and they were counterfeit. Permanently damaged my ears. There are videos showing the diff. I ordered from midway for the walkers. You can buy gel cups for cheap as well that are well reviewed.

Just got my walker razors for a b day gift. X trm model and it has auto cut off for anyone interested. Nice review Bo.

Thank you for this information

Bought a pair of the Bluetooth Walker razor based on your review from Midwy and got a smoking deal. Thanks. Was looking for a replacement of the Howard’s that are abou 6 years old. Great pair but the Bluetooth is 27 decibel protection a big plus to me.

Thanks and Blessings! My HL's quit working, and I need a new set, so I'll be looking for a set of Walker's.

Good review nice job

Thanks Brother. This made me feel a lot better about my purchase.

Massive help. Thank you!

Excellent thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Solid review! I've had a pair of the Howard leights for several years and recently accidentally washed them and they still work lol

Straight to the points. Thanks.

I'm tossing 3 pair of the Howard Leight Impact Sports and 1 pair of the Howard Leight Impact Pro because all the rubber parts, like you mentioned, turned sticky. I tried the alcohol trick but its only a temporary solution. All 4 were purchased in Oct 2014. I'm undecided if I got my moneys worth or not since I have a 30+ no name non electronic set that are almost brand new. Other than that they were great. I'm trying out a pair of Peltor Sport to replace them. Their reaction time is noticeably quicker than Howard Leight but they seem to be made cheaper. I do like the fit better. I'm going to try the Walker Razors. Thanks

I got my walkers razor patriot version. They are expected to be omni-directional, but it seems like they are not. All bunch of sounds are just in the middle of your head. That`s the only minus I found. They still work pretty well with gunshots, I was mostly satisfied with them while indoor range

Very nice video. Thank you.

The first clear explanation for me of the electronic ear protection. Thanks. A new shooter. Just ordered the Walkers. Now, what about eye protection???

AutoZone actually sells a cheap set of yellow tinted saftey glasses with a really nice impact raiting. They only cost $4 or $5. Those would probably be something you'd be interested in.

I just picked up my walker razors today actually they came from amazon and I haven't tried them yet but I'm looking forward to them I think they'll work just fine and I'll probably will be upgrading very soon take care thanks

Good video. I have a pair of the HLs, but need a second pair. Thin is good for a good check weld when shooting a rifle. And the auto shut off sure is nice, but comfort is nice also. The rubber on my HLs also got a little tacky. It's not terrible, just a tad annoying. I always thought I must have gotten cleaner, sun screen, or bug spray on them. I never noticed a lag though. Shooting unsurpressed rifles, and at the range around others, I like to wear foam ear plugs also. Then I turn the volume up on the muffs so I can hear range commands. It makes a big difference at the end of the day.

@@PilotPatriot Thanks for the suggestion. I picked up the Texas edition set. I also bought the gel replacement pads they make for them. I never even tried the standard pads, but the gel pads are super comfortable and have a great seal with eye pro. The metal mic protectors don't seem to have an issue with wind noise, and they appear to be more durable than foam. The set overall feels pretty well made. I'm happy with the purchase.

Just added the walkie talkies to my wife's and mine. Love that we can communicate with each other from different lanes. A lot of time I will be shooting on a 500+ lane and she will be on a 200 yd lane. Yet I will have the spotting scope and she can ask me for a placement call with out having to trapes 5 lanes over to me.

I've made a decision based on your recommendation. Thank you.

The walkers do have the foam wind covers. They are internal so the weather doesn't bother them. I have the same pair you are showing and took them apart looking for them.

Thank you for a great review! Do you need to use the AAA batteries in the HL if you just need to use them on the range?

Hey Thanks for the video!

You can remove the "glue" from the rubberized part using isopropyl alcohol. It works great.

Thanks for this review. I made the mistake of using a pair of cheap earmuffs for my very first gun range and may have done permanent damage to my hearing. I will buy the walker razor. Thanks again.

You can hook up a 2 way audio jack to the muffs and your phone and listen to your music while you shoot its really nice

Answered my Qs! Getting a walker!

Try some "Goo Gone' on those Walkersm, then some rubbing alcohol after...I had JBL speakers that turned 'sticky' after a few years and that cleaned them up really well. Great review thanks.

for the aux port simply place a piece of electrical tape or duct over the port. a round piece won't peel off as easy, but either will work.

Great review, I subbed and liked! I'm just getting back into shooting and this vid helped me decide which ear-pro to buy, thanks!

Great video thanks

Thank you 🙏🏾 soo much I’m going electronic & I’m get’g walkers vt thx

I Run the Walkers. Love em. Nuff said!

Thank u for your review earmuff that awful benefit to me.

I’ve only used temporarily a set of Walker’s and they’ve EACH had a “fuzzy background “ noise that’s NOT noticeable with my Howard Leights. The Leights have been totally Legit for a lot of years. I’m considering a dedicated set FOR an HHV ‘ATE’ Bump though. YOUR vid with the ‘Opsmen/Earmor M32’s’ has gotten me thinking..

Thanks a lot for this

Are the batteries used specifically for the auxiliary cable or are they needed for the noise reduction?

Thanks dude. Subbed.

I just bought the Walkers in Tan i originally bought a pair of cheap ear muffs from Walmart can't wait to see if these will be better and from this video I can tell they will be XD!!!

I worked at a shooting range and my gripe is it takes them several seconds to come back to hearing people talk again. So you hear broken sentences when people talk to you.

I know exactly what you are saying. I swear I can hear the rifle crack for a nano second before my HL muffs deaden the sound. I thought that was normal. I just ordered a pair of the Walkers Patriot.
