Title: What kind of electronic ear protection/amplification do you use?
Post by: Special T on October 01, 2021, 01:19:06 PM: I am need of ear buds since mine crapped out. I need them for all use. Phone calls shooting, podcasts etc.
Raycon and Axl that I have seen advertised on FB.

What do you like and or do you know of a good review site.

I have used a pair of 3m ear muffs from Costco that have great battery but calls are only ok, they get hot while working and pretty bulky.

I could NOT hear elk bugles, even though my hunting pardner could. I couldn't hear them until about 150-200 yards, which I can do without a hearing aid.

They don't offer protection though.

I have an old set of muffs from their early days thats great, still works. Makes a chipmuck sound like a herd of stampeding wilderbeasts.

New ones suck bad.

This is what I was really curious about. I would love enhanced hearing on windless days as well as for my bowhunting.
