I Can Still Hear
I wear these weekly to an indoor range and have had no issues. Never once have I experienced any ringing in my ears. I am using the largest, foam tips. I tried switching to the medium sized ones and they didn't hold as well. There were a few times I felt them coming loose and I needed to push them back into my ears. I do that with the large tips too, but not because they are coming loose, rather just out of an abundance of caution.Now, they aren't perfect. The Hear Through does work well for hearing conversations, but then gunfire isn't as muffled as well either. Even at the lowest setting the gunfire from other shooters can be a bit much. It's not loud enough to cause my ears to ring, but loud enough to make me uncomfortable. And this is the biggest con, with HT turned off then it can be difficult to hear conversations around you. I've yet to use them outdoors yet so that experience may be a lot better. They are way more comfortable than my Walker set, especially for longer stretches. I'd rather ask someone to repeat themselves and be comfortable.Another minor gripe is the cord can get caught on heavier clothing. I almost pulled one of the earbuds free when the cord snagged on my hoodie. I haven't had issues with collared shirts though.As far as audio quality goes I haven't really used them as Bluetooth earbuds. At the time I bought them I figured it was worth the extra 40 bucks to have BT just in case, but if I could rebuy them I'd probably save the money. If you travel for shooting classes then having BT would be handy, but if you just shoot at home and already have BT earbuds then save yourself 40 bucks and get longer battery life.The instructions have a guide for fitting the Foam Tips and I would strongly advise following it. I don't know if some of the negative reviews skipped that step or if they just have more sensitive ears than I do. I find them effective, comfortable, and I can still hear just fine after several trips to my indoor range.

Doesn't make voices audible
This unit was comfortable enough, but didn't protect from loud sounds very well. Most importantly, voices were not amplified, as advertised. All outside sounds merged into a load roar if you turned the volume up far enough, but it was entirely impossible to hear people's voices.The controls are also confusing, making it quite easy to hit the wrong button. Even once I figured that bit out, they didn't do the job I bought them for.I didn't get a chance to try these properly until after the return window had closed, unfortunately, or I would have sent them back. Would not recommend.

Just ok
Im a Welder/fabricator so I work i a quite loud shop, I was looking far a good pair of earbuds that would block out noise and still be able to listen to music. These did that pretty well, I was still able to hear if somebody called me and I could play whatever I was listening to at low volume because they sealed outside sounds well. I have a few large issues however. the button to pause and play doesn't always work, so I would tap it again to see if that would help and it would call my last person on my call list, per design. Very annoying, next problem the charging cover is difficult to get off with your hands. There is also not a button to skip songs that I’m aware of, And lastly, three months in the one side stopped working, so I will need to replace them. Mixed results, I can live with all the others but I can’t work with only one side functioning, very disappointed

Great customer service
The product overall is very good. The volume buttons and the noise cancellation stopped working after 7 months continuous used.; however and to be fair, I did used the heck out of this device. I used them at work every 3rd day for 12hrs or more. I used them at the gym while working out and at the range. The battery life is excellent. When I tried to conserved battery, It sometimes went for more than 3 days before needing a charge.Great company with excellent customer service. When I contacted them about the issues I was having with the headset , they honored my 1 year warranty, and they issued me a new pair of of headsets right away. For a faster results and respond, I recommend contacting them directly through their customer service email instead of through Amazon. You do need to provide them proof of purchase, so send them a copy of you receipt.

There's better out there
The noise cancellation part is at best ...just ok. I ended up going back to my standard ear protection. If you by this product learn to read lips first.

Doesn't do what it's supposed to do
I tried both the foam and the silicone adapters, as well as with and without the sound on, and in every case my ears were ringing after the first shot from my 9mm pistol. I regret not getting around to returning it sooner; I can't, in good conscience, give them to anyone else so I'm going to end up throwing them away.
