AXILGS Extreme 2.0 Wireless Tactical Earbuds Black

I am a competitive shooter and firearms instructor. These ear pros were light and comfortable. On the range they allow me to communicate with students and bystanders without having to "yell at people" like you would with non-noise-cancelling, over-the-ear style headphones. I compared these with my Peltor 500s that have noise cancelling and blue tooth. This is an excellent product. I like the fact that I can play music through them and receive phone calls. (Talking on the phone inside or on the range means the caller can hear the gunshots as well as anyone else talking nearby). I like that fact that they are light and I could attach them via the included clip to my shirt collar. The volume can be adjusted easily although it takes getting used to using the control buttons which are different from right to left. They come with 3 different size of comfort cushions. I used the medium ones and found out that they comfortable exclude ambient noise. They are as easy to adjust as using "foam" ear plugs and can be inserted similarly. Just squeeze the foam cushions lightly and insert. The cushions will expand to the ear canal. On the trap range where I don't want to hear bystanders talking, I find these useful, just turn the sound enhancement off. While I didn't try these in combination with over the ear headphones. I suspect that for additional hearing protections the Axil GS can be worn as such which would give you blue tooth for music and phone calls and total ear protection. I am not a fan of the packaging. The ear buds are packed in sealed envelops that are difficult to opening and I had apprehension that I could damage the item inside while tearing open the envelope. The documentation is ok but I wan't a fan of how it was printed on paper. A case is included but it would be nice to include a luggage tag in case you misplace or lose them.

I purchased Axil GS Extreme recently. I have been using over-the-earmuffs type protection products for over 25 years. About 5 Years ago, I bought Walker Earmuffs. The Walker earmuff came highly recommended from the Ranger Master and fellow Instructor from the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department.I have preferred ear muffs and audio headphones that go on the outside of my ears. I never liked hearing protection or audio headphones that go inside the ear. Early this year, I bought Apple’s Airpods and loved them. So, I started to research inside the ear hearing protection for shooting. The Axil ad kept popping up on various feeds that I followed.I finally decided to purchase the Axil GS Extreme hearing protection.I ordered the Axil GS Extreme on Amazon. Shipping was fast and easy. The box arrived, and I started to questions my decision because the package was so small. The small box is elegant, has a carrying case, various earbud sizes. The product was securely packed with all the paperwork to connect the Bluetooth feature to your phone or device. I quickly set up the Bluetooth on my phone and was able to listen to music instantly. My wife tried to talk to me I couldn’t hear her. I couldn’t wait to see if it provided the same silence on the range while speaking to my students.The Axil GS Extreme was easy to set up and adjust to my ears to provide the best hearing protection. On the range, I was able to talk to students on the live-fire range and still block out people shooting around us. The Axil GS Extreme was comfortable to wear and prevented the sweat around my ear from the Walker earmuffs. The adjustment on the Axil provides individual comfort.I love the ability to recharge the battery in the Axil over the Walker hearing protection that required 2 AAA batteries. Axil can easily be charged by USB on the way to range in the car. I no longer have to purchase AAA batteries.I kept trying to find something negative about the Axil GS Extreme, but I couldn’t find anything negative.The Axil is aimed at avid shooters. I will see how the Axil will do for my hiking adventures. I love how stable Axil is in my ears over the Apple Airpods.Axil GS Extreme is user-friendly. This product is made of high-quality materials and is well worth the money. I wish the right and left ear markings were imprinted a little bigger. I had to put on my reading glasses to see them, but nothing would keep me from using the Axil GS Extreme.

Definitely a new experience. I wouldn't say they are the greatest thing ever, but I used them for the first time at the range(Indoor). They definitely take the percussion out of the gunfire, but it is like listening to an action movie with the sound turned up. It is completely tolerable and doesn't give you an overwhelming gunshot sound. I will say shooting with electronic hearing in your ears is a whole new experience and although this was my first time with in ear as opposed to over the ear, it felt natural. If you are willing to spend the money I would say so far it is worth it, especially if hunting cause you can turn up and hear nature. My only critiques in that regard to Axil is to better sound quality and noise cancellation/ tech to control sound over certain decibel in the next model. I think there is a real future in these!
