Anyone have these just wondering how they are ?https://www.goaxil.com/shop/all-in-one-ear-buds/gs-extreme-promo/ optics planet is selling them.looking for another alternative for ear muffs there is alot of new ear buds out trying to find something good.the walker earbuds are ok but you have to keep changing those batteries all the time its a PITA .

Ear buds, no matter how "extreme" are not enough to prevent hearing damage. Muffs combined with plugs are your best protection. I got that info from an ENT Doctor/shooting friend many years ago. Back then, plugs with muffs were a pain. Now that we have muffs with active NR and can hear with plugs in too, it's great. Bone conduction hearing loss is the threat and is somewhat mitigated with muffs. Just MHO.

Never can get a good cheek weld with muffs at all

I use custom molded plugs and a suppressor, works for me.

I have had 2 sets of the Axil ear buds. One set of the expensive ones and the other set is the older version of what you have a link to. Neither are enough if you are shooting a rifle with a break. I use them when I am shooting rimfire matches and that is it. I have a friend that has some of the custom molded ear plugs and says they work great but they are significantly more expensive. If I am shooting centerfire I just use the cheap foam plugs and put electronic muffs over them. When I am shooting I do need to pull one side up to get a check weld though. As long as I’m directly behind the rifle and not getting hammered by other guys breaks the foam plug in the one ear is enough though.

Thanks for the comments. I was looking at them but think I will stick with foamies and my Leigh’s........

This is how I roll. Or with amplified muffs. Running a suppressor really is your best form of protection aside from on body.
