This was my 3rd pair of the gs extreme 2.0 ear buds. I wear them every day that I work for 8-11 hours of continuous use before the battery starts to die. They have great sound and good hearing protection. They are great.

I own 4 pairs now. Having bad tinnitus I was trying to do something to save what’s left of my hearing. Use them for farm work, shooting automatic rifles / shotguns, and all types of hunting. The hearing feature is great and I have no problem hearing birds get up in the field. These ear buds are great. Battery life is good. I would suggest them to anyone.

They are very comfortable and work perfectly. I have used them at least once a week since they arrived. Since, I am a woman and wear earrings almost every day, it is wonderful that they are so comfortable that I can leave my earrings on when I wear my new hearing protection.

These are awesome, I used them in a Rifle training course recently and were pleasantly surprised by how well they not only stayed in my ear but offered exceptional protection. I was also able to take a call from my dad while I was off and the shooting line during a relay and voice was crystal clear. While my dad could hear that there was shooting going on in the background, he said it wasn't an issue for our short call. I would recommend these to anyone who likes the flexibility and comfortab...

These are the best protection if you want to shoot comfortably. It’s incredible how good these are at silencing rifle Shots. Way better than my earmuff headphones. I found the best silencing ear headphones for the range. It’s worth the money 100%. I will super highly recommend it.

I haven’t worn them yet for hunting, the season hasn’t started but I have used at work on construction sites and they work really well! I’ve been wearing Axil for a few years now but I’m excited to get them in the woods, without the wires I’m hoping they stay in my ears. I’ve had issues with the other models with the wires getting hooked on branches. I really like how the other work for upland hunting know that I’m getting older and 20 years of being a firearms instructor for the DOJ I need the...

Great sensitivity and value. I was 50yds away from my phone changing targets out and heard the text notification sound go off. I didn't even have the sensitivity turned way up on them. These are not the Bluetooth model so it was not connected to them. I'm very happy with these.

I have not exposed them to gunfire yet, but they really take the edge off of loud noises, especially if they’re consistent, like mowing the lawn. The Bluetooth connectivity to my phone is very good, and looking forward to having them in the field this fall when hunting upland birds! Taking them to the range this weekend to see how they do with unsuppressed pistol fire.

Bought these for shooting and whatever. Work wonderful. You can still carry a conversation, yet if a shot is fired it dulls that down. Or you can use full suppression. Also love the fact that they are bluetooth. I use for outdoor work where the big brands fall out of your ears. These stay right in there and not only allow you to listen to your favorite music but suppress loud noise and allow conversations. Love them!

Nice fit, noise canceling works along side 300 ultra mag with no muzzle break while focusing on my shooting. Hear through enhancing while still providing hearing protection is great. Compact & able to hold cheek weld is a huge plus

At first, I was reluctant to purchase the AXIL earbuds (GS Extreme 2.0) since I don’t like the feeling of anything in my ear and I already had three pairs of ear muffs (different brand). However, I read and saw many reviews on the AXIL earbuds and thought I would give it a try. These earbuds make rifle shooting much easier, and the sound is mitigated similar to ear muffs. I like that these offer less bulkiness in my range bag. In addition to range use, you can also use for watching movies or sho...

As a firearms instructor, wearing ear muffs over my safety glasses for extended periods of time got to be extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, I recently took up trap shooting and found my ear muffs were a bit in the way. I've been wanting to switch to quality, in-ear protection. These provide great comfort while teaching and trap shooting. I can hear my students very easily without having to remove them, and they do a great job of protecting my hearing!

I have used these on my SxS, Cutting Wood, Shooting Guns, Mowing my lawn, weed waking, with my leaf Blower, running my Chain Saw. Shooting a rifle and a hand gun. I uses these at work listen to music, I can't wait to use them for hunting. (something really cool-with my chainsaw the noise was blocked out and I could hear the moving parts of the saw like the piston and crank moving....because all of the loud noise was blocked out so well.) I have never spent any money out side of $20 at the ...

Great sound, mostly comfortable (still trying the different ear pieces). Wish the volume control was a little more forward. Too far back on the neck. Maybe just a little longer cord?

After having bought other AXIL products and not being satisfied with them. I decided to try the XCOR PRO. These changed my perception of the company quickly. They are a really well made product. Comfortable. The noise cancellation is great. I would suggest these to anyone. Only downfall is trying to remember all the button patterns. That’s all a little confusing.

First big outing was a trial by fire as a R.O. for four eight-stage sessions of Steel Challenge... Gave good protection against the noise, but allowed me to easily hear the steel ring and MOST IMPORTANTLY communicate with the competitors on stage.

They work great I work underground usually pretty loud there I can hear when I need to but still protecting my hearing shooting hands down prolly the greatest thing I’ve put in my ears the price isn’t bad for what you’re getting but if you buy them go ahead and get the ones with Bluetooth happy shooting stay safe

I selected for value and also because I’d used other Axil products (ear muffs) which were the excellent. I found these earbuds to be effective and comfortable. It takes a little while to learn the controls but that’s a matter of reading the instructions once or twice before going shooting! So on me I guess.

Exactly what I was looking for! My ears get hot in muffs plus they interfere with my cheek weld when shooting rifles. These work phenomenal!! Comfortable for hours on the range, no interference with the cheek weld plus work great to hear range commands when shooting and to hold conversations when I’m teaching! The Bluetooth is like icing on the cake!

I bought these specifically for my construction job. I have some peltors for shooting and having fun but I really needed something for the day to day. I'm able to wear these for 8 hours a day with no irritation. My only issue is that they kind of slip out when it's hot and I'm sweating. I'm able to listen to music and hear what people say which is why I leaned towards these, and I mean for the price, why not give them a try. Definitely worth it, I would just recommend the hat clip as mine like t...

I really love the headset. I researched a good bit and found axil to be the right balance of features and function I would echo other reviews when external audio pickup is on it isn't super clean, but works well but adds more noise than should be. However it is easy to turn off and on and for running, working out and heavy movement they are silent for noise and outstanding. I am very pleased and after wearing daily for a few weeks bought more sets for my family. Really happy with the purchases. ...

The purchased the XCOR for ducking hunting and shooting in general. I have used them for a couple months now. They have exceeded my expectation. Regular ear muff are big and bulky and muffle duck calling and conversation. The XCOR are light weight and the enhanced mode lets you hear everything around you. The only issue I had was I have small ear canals so I have to used the silicone inserts but still has great protection. A 9mil sounds like a 22cal. Great product, Ray

They are very comfortable to ware. I did get some feedback in the left ear a couple of times while indoors / don't know why. It was a high pitch oscillation for a few seconds.

The sound and noise cancellation is as good or better than AirPod pros. Plus the added hearing protection for the range makes these 100000000x worth the purchase. Could not be happier with them.

These are awesome ear buds. They are great for airplanes, shooting and listening to music. Also, the ability to talk normal or quietly while hunting is huge and these things help at the moment it matters most.

These next generation ear protectors are everything I expected and more! Not only do I use these on the range in competition but also as an instructor. I also use them in the gym! I have to say that the sound quality i get when blue toothed into my I phone for workout music is wonderful! The sound quality is great! I can recommend these totally without reservation!

These things are excellent! I work construction, so being able to protect my hearing while on the job site or on the range is amazing. Battery lasts through a whole shift, without a problem. I would highly recommend these for anyone working in the trades. 8 hours of music, hearing protection, and I can still hear if there's a machine coming up behind me or the foreman calls me over. Great job guys.

These exceeded expectations. Used for range day and rifle sight-in for whitetail season. Audio was crisp and clear even in Kansas wind. Only constructive criticism would be to put in an even smaller set of ear cones. The smallest set still caused some ear canal fatigue and pressure. Otherwise great product and far more versatile than over the ear muffs. Pairing was easy and useable.

Great product! I've used these at the range for multiple classes where we are shooting 500 to a 1,000 rounds and the battery lasted all day. The noise canceling is spot on and you can clearly hear the instructor yelling commands during the drills. Highly recommend. They work great for music and phone calls too.

Getting ear buds I am always a little apprehensive because one of my ear canals is a bit weird but I am able to get a snug fit with these. I can leave the range still being able to hear! I love that I can simultaneously have the ear protection and listen to Spotify. Last trip to the range I listened to a Joe Rogan podcast while I sent some rounds down, it was pretty sweet.

Great fit, comfortable, and so easy to use. Because of chronic Tinnitus, it is important for me to wear hearing protection for any noisy activity; mowing, splitting wood, shooting, etc. I have used three other noise cancelling ear buds, and Axil is far superior to any other brand. Barry Cole

Love them. I wanted to put some use on them before I just wrote a blind review. I was nervous about using these, thinking they may not offer enough hearing protection. I have the beginnings of a tinnitus issue. Any loud noises will aggravate it for days. Wore these several times on different handguns and large caliber rifles and had zero problems. Buying two more pair for my wife and daughter.

I’ve had many hearing protection products over the years. Have a lot of hearing damage from my Marine Corps days so protecting what’s left is important. Used these at an indoor range after I got them. Was thinking I would maybe even double up and put my (well known brand) digital headsets on over these. Turned out I did not need to. By themself, the Axil buds provided significantly better protection then my top of the line headsets. Was very happy with them. As far as using them as replacement ...

I bought these for deer season and they worked wonderfully. In protection mode or listening mode they work as advertised. I was able to get my buck early the first morning and I was able to avoid the typical ringing in my ears when I haven't had good hearing protection in when shooting from our blind. Thanks Axil.
