Silencer ST 2.0 Earbuds

I purchased these in March of 2024 and have been using them off and on since then. There are several features that I really like, e.g., being able to go from muting the ambient sounds to incrementally increasing it from zero to level 7 is great because that allows you to dial in the perfect mix to your liking. There are 4 modes that actually work and do make a significant difference as you toggle through them from Universal, Clear Voice, Power Boost and HF (High Frequency) Boost to get the better sounds for what you're doing. There's an amazing variable Sound Activation Compression (SAC) mode that is set by default and while your Ambient noise level is activated and say, a loud sound such as a gun shot, etc., occurs, it will automatically and instantly decrease that sound down to 24 db., which is rated at a Library Whisper Quiet level at 6 feet, then the ambient sound level returns back to the level you had set. I find this option exceptional when out shooting from the Range to the Field. However, one kind of irritating Con is that the wind is annoying even though they boast Dynamic Wind Reduction, but for the price and excellent quality of these, and I don't actually know what it would be if it wasn't reduced, it's something I can live with. The battery life is Ok, but one nice redeeming option with these is that they come with a portable recharging case, so if needed you can take a break and charge them back up even a few times if needed and that's a nice option to have in the field or anywhere you don't have another charging option. I've read a post or two thumbing down the option to swipe up or down on the buds for increasing/decreasing the ambient noise, but I didn't find that a minus if you take a few minutes and adjust your fine motor skills and with practice, I found that to be very convenient. The foam tips also I found to be a great fit and still comfortable if you take a few seconds and roll them between your fingertips to warm them up and then insert them in your ears and hold them in there for10 plus seconds to allow them to expand nicely which adds to their ability to muffle outside noise and helps them to be more comfortable. Overall, I give the Walker Silencer BT 2.0 Ear Buds a 5 Star rating (would actually be a 4.5 Stars because the Dynamic Wind Reduction feature doesn't really do a great job, IMHO) but not enough to drop full Star. I think the price, quality of materials and sound quality are superior to some of the other options out there I've tried and didn't like nearly as well.

I bought these for working with Scouts on the range. It helps if I can hear their questions while coaching them, and with so many youth on the ready line I like to know what's going on around me. They worked well for the first few weeks, then started having problems connecting to the app... which was clunky and difficult to use anyway. When they started disconnecting randomly while I was shooting, I tossed them in the safe and went back to the earmuffs. A year later I decided to give them another shot. The app has been updated so it was easier to use, but the earbuds won't hold a charge. They'll only charge for about 10min before the lights go off, then I reset them in the case and they're good for a few more minutes. Even when I coax them up to 50%, they work but I can literally watch the power level drop in the app about 1% per second. They went from 55% to 0% in less than a minute. Short answer, they didn't work well to begin with and now 2 years later they won't even hold a charge. For something this expensive from a trusted (?) brand I was expecting better. Wish I'd saved my money and gone with something different.

I'm a USPSA Open gun competitor and as you would know the Open gun's are loud. With the comp on the end some RO's complain of the loudness, oh well. I've used Walker Razer ear muffs for a few years. After a Match the pressure to the sides of my head was just getting to be too much. So, found these on Amazon for sale at $127 and jumped on these. Used them for practice twice at 400 rounds each time and for about 3hrs a session. Works for me, I hear people have problems but it's all good for me. Comfortable too, no noticeable excess ear pressure and no more side head "bear trap" pressure for the ear muffs. Like them much better. The Bluetooth works good too, up to a certain distance, after about 75 feet, which is pushing it the earbuds still work, just loses contact with my phone, which I had in my car at the time. No problem, I will just keep my phone in the gear bag. Actually all I need to do if connected to the phone is just make any adjustments and shut the phone off. Earbuds still work and if I need adjustments, just get the phone back on and make changes. Works good with my phone music, either from my files or Panadora. I can control the volume level on the phone when it's even off, nice feature. The Music quality is very good, got some nice bass too, as I listen to Progressive House. You can control the Music volume too on the ear buds. Just swipe the left ear bud up or down. To pause the music, just tap once the left ear bud. Nice feature. To insert the buds, just compress the soft foam by not touching the end piece by holding the sides only. Once in, touch the left earbud for 2 seconds, once on it's say, "Walkers" then touch the right earbud for 2 seconds. If you have the phone app running or not, it will connect to your phone and say, "Connected". To shut off, hold the ends a for more than 8 seconds. To get the app to work, which you can find at the App Store, you need to make sure your phone is connected to the earbuds. With the earbuds on, check your phone for bluetooth. Should be listed and get the phone to connect. Get in that phone and find the settings. When firing my Open gun, it has a different sound than the ear muffs, as it's muted for sure and I can for sure still hear the gun go off, just not as loud and all is good.

These are priced well for non-custom ear pro. The sound quality is good outdoors, but wind noise can be a problem in a strong breeze or higher. Indoors it got too much reverb from gunshots and the audio amp didn't work well. Wind filter foam would be a nice improvement for the mics. Bluetooth works well with either a late-gen phone or a digital radio. Expect noticeable rx/tx delay if using with DMR. BT volume is separate control from sound amp volume. Box includes 3 different sizes of foam inserts. The process to get them into your ears the first few times is not easy, but the foam is comfortable and stays all day if worn correctly. Battery lasts about 6-7 hours with sound amp active and BT constantly connected. If you have 2 sets you can swap back and forth, use the cases to recharge in the field and be covered for about a day and a half, maybe longer.

What an awesome bit of technology I never new existed! These were great on my hunt trip in Colorado! Comfortable enough to wear all day, battery lasted all day. Carry case recharges when fast. I could hear all my surroundings. Bluetooth worked great! Moto G7 w/Android 10. Now the coolest part, they really do suppress gun fire. I shoot a .338. It's a cannon! Ive had to shoot without protection before. Not fun. These suppressed the gun fire from my big rifle with ease. Was amazing when I tested them at the range before the hunt. I just left them in the entire session. I could here and talk with everyone and never had to fiddle with pulling foams out of my ears. As good as they are, they are not perfect. But I'm keeping it a 5 star review. Room for improvement: wind noise is a bit annoying. Not awful, but the microphone does cut in and out. I could see how some reviewers didn't like this. It was something I knew would be there. 90% it was great though. Ear Foams- they lasted the entire hunt trip, so they are good quality. But, walkers needs to sell sets of the correct size, not just variety packs. Once you know your size, why purchase any other sizes. Just a waste and probably a way to simply make more money down the road. Bonus, these worked great this fall cleaning up leaves with a leaf blower, listening to music, and being aware of my surroundings as I live in a busy street. If you're on the fence, get them! I chose to buy from Amazon incase I didn't like them. Easy returns. Fortunately, they met all my expectations, and then some! 100% recommend these!

I recently started a part time job as a RSO and I wanted something other than the typical Muff style hearing protection that has been around for years. After wearing Muff style "cans" for hours at a time I start to get headaches. I have tried different brands, even styles of traditional range headphones and they just are not comfortable to me. So when I found out that Walker had come out with a pair of earbuds I was excited to try them. So let's start with the good: Set up: There are 3 different sizes of inner ear foam and rubber pieces that help to lock the buds into your ear so they don't fall out. Once I found my size I could hardly tell I had them in. Setting up the app was easy but the instructions are written so small even with my glasses on I had to take a picture with my cellphone to see it. Once I watched a video to help with the syncing process the ear buds worked great. Comfort: Great! Didn't pull down on my ears at all or bother my inner ear canal. I would even forget I had them in at times. Charging case: I love this! The fact that when I take a break I can pop them out, put them in a case to charge while taking a break, and put them in my pocket works for me. Clarity: I could hear people clearly without the gun fire hurting my ears. I want to say they reacted faster than the Walker noise suppression Muffs we also use on the range. The Bad: Ok, so you are probably wondering why the 3 stars? I have had 2 pairs of these in 1 week from Amazon and I sent both of them back. The first pair arrived on a Monday. I fully charged the case and the buds before adjusting the size and fit. After that I set them up, found the right fit, got them synced, and it all went down hill from there. The app read 51% charge and immediately I was getting an audible warning that the left bud was low of power. I could watch the power level in the app tick down and after about a minute the buds shut off. I filled out the return option on Amazon and once that was down I immediately had a confirmation that a new pair was on the way. Second pair: When the second pair arrived I had them set up and charged. Popped them in for a bit and app ready 97% charge and seemed to work. Saturday morning I go into work for a day on the range and after about 30 or so minutes I get a audible warning that the right bud is low on charge. I double checked the app and it still said 97% charge. So after about 5 minutes they shut down. UGH!! I would love to have a pair that actually work and hold a charge but I am not trying this a third time. My recommendation is try at your own risk. I have read and been told great things about Walker products but my experience was different. I may try again in the future but for now I will stick to traditional Muff style protection.

I tried two pair of isotune calibers before getting these. First set of the isotunes arrived D.O.A. Amazon took care of the replacement, no problem. Returned the second set of isotunes for these, becasue the isotunes were just horrible at noise cancelation and fell short in other areas also. These were cheaper any way. I was skeptical of these because every set of over the ear walkers I have tried, the ambient sound sounds like someone has recorded a live conversation on cassette tape and was playing it back. Nothing like the sound quality of MSA Sordins. But these have good ambient sound. Noise cancelation is great. Can't report on battery life because I haven't used them enough yet. The only two things I've found, so far that would be negative on these is the size of the case is huge compared to the isotunes and other in ear buds but hopefully they will make that up with recharging of battery life on the buds themselves. Also the ear tips get hard if they are cold. Makes squishing them down a little difficult when you are trying to put them in. I had them in a pouch outside of my hunting pack in just above freezing weather and the tips were hard to get squished down to insert in my ears. Next time I'll at least put them in my jacket pocket for my walk to stand. The tips are very dense to start with which should help with noise cancelation. I like the fact they have an app for adjustments because with touch control on the buds its a bit difficult with chilled fingers. But hey, even the samsung buds I wear for work are touchy on the touch controls.

I deliberated for days over whether or not to purchase these earbuds. I was looking at other options and trying to weigh the features and risks. The desire for these to be all that they "claimed" to be was enough to make me say "screw it! I'll go for it!" They had everything I wanted... amplified hearing, ear protection for the range, and true wireless stereo bluetooth audio and calling, so on January 23rd, 2021 I purchased them. I wanted so badly for them to be all that the description stated and for all the negative reviews to be "one-offs" or exaggerations. It seems like for the amount you are paying, they should deliver what is being advertised.... it's not like the price for what you get is "too good to be true"... it seems like the amount you're shelling out for these should be enough to deliver what is described. But alas... the pair I received were garbage and had all the issues every other bad review has outlined. The app sucks. Fine... I can live with that... afterall, you can still use them without the app... they connect via the native bluetooth function of your phone or computer. You just don't have quite the same level of customization manually as you theoretically do with the app. When I got them and had the connection issues using the app, I thought, "well, that's okay... it seems like they work just fine when you leave the app out of the equation." And they did... for a limited amount of time. It wasn't long until I was thrown into a frenzy of troubleshooting steps when the right ear started cutting in and out with the bluetooth audio on my phone. Disconnect bluetooth/reconnect, shut bluetooth off on phone/turn back on, remove buds from paired devices/re-pair buds, remove from paired on phone/pair with laptop, remove from laptop/pair with phone... you get the point. Some of this would result in functional earbuds for a short time, but it wasn't long before they started getting static-y and the right ear started cutting in and out again. It was very disappointing. That however isn't where the disappointment ends. The buds ended up sitting on a shelf for a couple of months... because life happens. Well, I finally got around to getting a warranty request going. My first attempt at contacting through the website went unanswered. I don't recall if I did a general contact form or if I specifically did the warranty request page, but either way, I never received a response. I forgot about them for another couple of weeks, then made a second attempt after thinking about them again and really not wanting the 1 year warranty to lapse. So, June 14, 2021, I got a response from Walker's to my warranty request with an RMA number and shipping information. Two days after receiving the email I dropped them off at the post office and got a tracking number. The USPS tracking indicated they were received on 6/21/21. On 7/1, after not hearing anything from Walker's, I replied to the original warranty email and asked if they could confirm receiving the earbuds and for an estimate on when I could expect the replacement. 5 days later I received a reply stating, "Hi S, I am showing that we have received your silencer BT earbuds and our warehouse is getting it ready for shipment. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you." That's it... it's a week later and I haven't received anything or heard anything. It sucks... I'm usually a very patient and gracious customer, but this all just feels wrong. I really think this company should pull this product off the market since a fair number of them appear to all be experiencing these issues. AND I think it's embarrassing for them to have such slow and unresponsive warranty service on a $230 pair of earbuds. I get the "please allow for 6-8 weeks for processing" when you send in UPC codes off of cereal boxes for a free toy, but not for a product at this price point. This was my first and will likely be my last purchase of Walker's products.

I have been using the Walker and Howard leigh over the ear muffs for years. I decided to pay a lot for the Walker Silencer 2.0 Bluetooth earbuds. I work at a pistol/rifle and shotgun range, so wearing earmuffs start to hurt after a few hours. I compared my earbuds to my earmuffs and not only are the earbuds so comfortable, but they make 9mm pistol gunshots so much quieter. I will know more when I get to the rifle range but they work better than muffs.

Cómodos en los oídos y muy versalitas en sus diferentes modos de audición , y fácil de colocar la cancelación de ruido.

Purchased them recently, somehow the ear plugs have issues with getting charged which I suspect is the problem with the battery.

Good product now I have two working ear pieces. Could not get the left side to work. Sent them back and had a new pair sent very quick. With both now working I like the product.

No e recibido mi rembolso,aparte de que salieron fallados.
