These headphones not only allow for noise canceling but they also have an aux hookup for listening to music. They are very durable and comfortable.
Finally after 3 purchases I have the real Walker Razor XV Bluetooth earbuds, These things are phenomenal, very comfortable fit and sound quality. I am speaking from and many years of sound production and firearms experience. Please educate your sellers and buyers of the X and the XV bluetooth versions, this is my first Walker product purchase, they get a great big thumbs up!
This is a slick set of noise cancelling ear protection. The ear covers are good and comfortable to wear. The blue tooth feature is a really nice touch and really function well. Overall these are my go to ear protection.
Update (2 months later): So, the surefire defender earplugs silicone attachment broke on me. So, I found cheaper and more effective ear replacement attachments. Turns out they are size 2mm ear silicone attachments; the same ones that fit the westone style. Only about $6 for these replacement silicone ear attachments. These are low costing, and more durable around the tube area for the ear canal compared to the surefire ones. I may even use my spare pair of attachments for the surefire earplugs. Sometimes when I turn on the earbuds I hear a noise canceling or irritating sound. Turns out its time to change the batteries. I realized the batteries that come along with the earbuds are very short lived; idk maybe cheap batteries or old stock. But, I ordered my own replacement duracell batteries which are working nice. I still don't know the battery life on that one yet. But, I can tell you I have the enhancement dial turned up to the max. I changed the foam earbud attachments with the plastic surefire defender earplugs. I am a size small for the earbud size. If one side sounds louder than the other; that means the surefire silicone attachment needs to be readjusted and needs to be fitted more snug in my ear. I thought one side was defective compared to the other; not at all. When talking with the electronic earbuds turned on; my voice will cut out or become dampened electronically. If talking with someone I will turn down the dial or turn off the electronic hearing to make it easier for me to speak with someone. I needed a electronic hearing protection for hiking/hunting in hot weather. My head would hurt after hours of having headphones pinching on my head. I like the headphones for a short amount of time such as at the range; but, not out in the wilderness from sunrise to sunset. I tried these out in 90 degrees during a dry, stagnant wind, and sunny day. I had the earbuds in for the whole day from sunrise to sunset. My head did not ache from pinching of my walkers headphones. A lot more comfortable now; since I am already dehydrated and possibly near heat stroke.
Purchased for ear protection & to assist in my poor hearing. They are a good value for the money. If turned up they can admit a high sequel if one bud becomes loose in an ear. Also cats like to chew on the foam ear inserts, nice to have 3 pairs of different shapes, unfortunately my 1st choice... Is now in cat poop!😻 Very "RESILIENT" I dropped them getting out of my car & found them several days later after rain in the dirt, they cleaned up well & turned on working like new! Overall a good value! I would suggest purchasing if this is what you're seeking & want to be under a $75 budget. 🙉
This is a review of two related items: ~ Walker's Razor Slim Electronic Muff (RSEM) light teal color (ASIN: B076HG138S; item model number: GWP-RSEM-LTL; price on 2025/05/23: $32.79; price 2025/05/30: $46.46) ~ Walker's Walkie Talkie (WT) attachment (ASIN: B07QFCP93T; item model number: GWP-RZRWT; price on 2015/05/23: $26.20; price today: $28.99 down from $49.99) I've used the Howard Leight Impact Sport (HLIS) electronic earmuffs for years, so some portion of this review will be in comparison to the HL. The Walker's RSEM is very similar to HLIS in design and in function. The headband, the muffs, and the general construction is very similar as if they copied each other's design. The RSEM (just like the HLIS) has a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of low to mid 20s. For hearing protection while shooting, I don't consider 20 dB of reduction to be adequate, and I usually wear NRR 30 disposable foam earplugs under the muffs. Because the amplified electronic earmuff volume can be turned up, NRR 30 earplugs would be fine to wear underneath. In a traditional non-electronic earmuff, wearing foam ear plugs underneath maybe too much attenuation if you want to have a conversation with someone. The RSEM (just like the HLIS) has a slim design. Collapsed, they are moderately compact, and do not take up a lot of space in the shooting bag. The RSEM (just like the HLIS) has an auxiliary headphone jack, so you can plug in an audio plug to listen to music, or use this jack to plug in a two way radio attachment. Walker's makes the WT attachment which is affordable and easy to use. Meanwhile, I'm not able to easily find a simple solution for the lay shooter using the HLIS. There is no active noise cancellation, however, I could say this offers active noise reduction with passive noise isolation; noise isolation from the ear muffs, and noise reduction from the microcircuit that selectively amplifies ambient noise except for loud noises. The RSEM comes in many colors and designs, and while they retail for $79.99 on walkersoutlet.com, some can be found on sale for around $32. It's hard to find them all and compare prices on walkersoutlet.com because they're not all on the same walkersoutlet.com page. Currently, it looks like the Razor Tacti-Grip Slim Electronic muff (ASIN: B08LXS9B9M; item model number: GWP-RSEMRH) is the least expensive at $34.45. The Howard Leight does offer some color and design options, but far fewer than Walker's does. These retail for $90 to $110 on walkersoutlet.com, and some can be found as low as $60. The RSEM (just like the HLIS) is not that comfortable to wear, but it's tolerable for a few hours. They can be worn over a baseball cap. They won't fit very well over a normal thickness beanie. Now, onto the Walker's WT attachment. This is thing that sets the RSEM apart from the HLIS. This attachment is affordable, easy to install, easy to use, and requires no other equipment. (In contrast, I did come across two way radio adapters that turn a handheld radio and the HLIS into a communication device, but that's not quite affordable or easy to use.) After I installed three AAA batteries into the WT attachment, I attached it to the RSEM. The instructions didn't mention removing the rubber cap to the headphone jack, but I felt this was necessary for a good fit. I was initially unable to hear any received transmission. After a few moments, I found that this was because the WT attachment didn't fit onto the muff very well, and the plug wasn't fully seated into the jack. With some force, I was able to mate the WT attachment to the RSEM, and was able to hear received transmission. The mic seems a little short, but it picks up well even with VOX. There is a bit of delay from the time I start speaking until VOX activates. If you're familiar with two-way radio operation especially on a related frequency, you would know that you have to give it about a second after you key the mic to start taking, else you cut yourself off: it's almost like that. On the WT attachment, I don't think it's that it won't start transmitting, but I think the issue is the VOX activation is not fast enough. The solution is to talk like an airline pilot. "Uhhhhhhhh, this is your captain speaking...." The only adjustments to the VOX sensitivity is "HI" or "LO," so fine tuning may be necessary to talk louder or softer, or adjust the microphone placement away or closer to the mouth. I wish it had infinite sensitivity adjustment using a dial, and I wish it worked better. Being able to use the full list of 22 FRS frequencies is nice, unlike cheap walkie talkies that only offer 10 or so. The priority channel feature is nice and could come in handy at a large event when users are on different frequencies: this is basically a scan feature. The audio quality is OK, but this is a $50 toy radio, I guess. The 99 sub channels are not really sub channels, but by using CTCSS, transmission from radios not using the same CTCSS is not heard on the handset. Wikipedia has a good explanation: "CTCSS tone codes are sometimes referred to as sub-channels, but this is a misnomer because no additional radio channels are created. All users with different CTCSS tones on the same channel are still transmitting on the identical radio frequency, and their transmissions interfere with each other; however; the interference is masked under most conditions. Although it provides some protection against interference, CTCSS does not offer any security against interception or jamming, and receivers without CTCSS enabled will still hear all traffic." Being an FRS radio, if you use this in a busy area, you may unfortunately have to hunt for an open frequency. My only concern with the WT attachment is wether the WT attachment would stay properly mated to the RSEM during movements. I can pull on the bottom of the WT attachment and partially unplug it moderately easily even with the top clamp on. It may be that the plastic moulding of the RSEM or WT attachment is inconsistent, and some reshaping or modification is needed. I'll continue to monitor, and see if I can identify an easy solution. Overall, this is a great solution for on the shooting range.
You got what you pay for I guess, but I honestly expected better from Walkers. These are super cheaply made. One ear pad is thicker than the other (yes, i let them sit not touching in case it was just flattened by pressure. Nothing changed.) The volume knob sticks into the padding for the headband when it's folded up, and is leaving a large dent. The battery tray is literally inside one of the earpieces underneath the foam. If you have flat ears maybe they won't bother you, but my ears were pushed against it, which will get uncomfortable really quick. As for the sound quality, the single microphone was not that big a deal for me. I could still hear easily enough, no matter which way I turned my head, but voices came through noticeably softer on one side. Pay the extra $20 and get a decent pair of walkers. These aren't worth it.
The batteries are bad so it makes me wonder on quality of the product and service. I will contact support and see what happens next
Definitely for the little ones. The band is not adjustable but fits my 3 yo just right. We bought bigger ones for my 4 yo.
Excelentes
Product is great as always .I've always used Walkers. But clearly what they sent compared to what the picture is is not even close
but if anything breaks, you are on your own! I will disclose that I have owned these for 6 years and they worked well until this morning. The headband is designed to fit into a plastic anchor on the ear muff. Today mine broke right off! OK, so things happen but when I called the company that sells them to buy the little part, I was told they have no parts for repair. Maybe 6 years is the most you can hope for but if everything else is working well, it's a shame to throw the whole thing away. I"m moving on but to the more expensive "Brand X".
En realidad no era lo que esperaba, se dañan muy rápido :(
Good quality headphones, only reason it’s not a 5 star is because it did not come with batteries even though the box says they are included
I received these along with other stuff I ordered. I saw that the clear tabs were already cut but didn't bother to think nothing of it. I broke the seal of the batteries to install and test the headset fit and sound which they seemed to work just fine but when I went to remove the headset I felt the rough scuffs and scratches. Then I took a closer look at the box it doesn't even have a plastic firm covering the product. The way the headset folds even if it is exposed makes it impossible to for the scratched portion of the headset to be scratched the way it is. If anything the damages should be along the sides of the headset. It's sad that you pay for an advertised new product but seems to have been used and abused already. All I'm saying is that it's kinds nasty to be putting something on your body when you don't even know who used it or if was cleaned before hand. I'll clean my brand new second hand rough scuffed ear muffs myself with alcohol and a rag as i am too busy and can't be bothered to return this product and wait for a new one to come in with possibly the same issue if not worse. EDIT: despite the damaged goods I received I will change my rating to 5 stars based soley on the performance of the ear muffs. I was able to clearly hear peoples conversations while equipped as I used these at an indoor shooting range in combination with ear plugs.
