Bluetooth Hearing Protection

In the market for some new Bluetooth hearing protection. I previously used caldwells shadows but the last two gave me fits, they wouldn’t turn off and wouldn’t charge sometimes. What have yall had experience with that works to hunt with and use doing yard work?

Airpod pro's fit under my Walker Xtreme's. Samsclub sells them silly cheap sometimes, I think the last two pair I got were $25, they are running $40 right now.

I have been happy with my axil earbuds. I have used the axil gs extreme 2.0 for the past couple seasons. The only thing I didn’t like was the cord connecting them sometimes would get a little hung up on my collar… more of an aggravation than any hindrance. The Bluetooth would sometimes cut out temporarily, but I mainly use air pods for yard work now.
I took advantage of their sale and got their cordless ear buds, without the Bluetooth function. So far I like them. I’m not sure how well the Bluetooth works.
ETA: I don’t use hearing enhancement either, but if that’s what you’re looking for, axil leaves a lot to be desired for that function. It sounds kind of staticky.

I've heard good things about the 3M Worktunes, but it seems you are angling away from muffs. I wear my Pixel Buds in noise cancellation mode a lot while working, but I wouldn't count on them to protect over 100 dB.

Walker silencer 2.0 work great. Battery life kinda sucks.

I use AirPod pros too. With Comply foam tips. They are similar to a foam earplug material. I don’t have any data for how much extra sound attenuation you get but I feel like it is more than the stock silicone tips
Sordin Supreme Pro X’s for shooting. They are nice.

Which tips are you using?

I have the Axil Extreme 2.0 GS and like them a lot.
I was a coach on my son's trap team and wore them. Battery life is great. Although I never connected them to my phone, so I can't speak to that.

When I first got them I got the S/M/L to see which ones worked best. Mediums worked best for me. I wear medium silicone tips also. When the first set wore out, I got the 3 pack of medium.
Comply says they last 6-8 months for a 3 pack. I get more than that out of mine. Last 3 pack I ordered was in January of ‘23. I think I have 1 left, but maybe it’s one of the S/L I didn’t use. They are easy to snap on/off. When they start getting gross or tore up I just swap them.
Again, I don’t have attenuation data, but they make mowing, running a weedeater, chainsaw, ect comfortable with the noise cancellation of the AirPods.

I’ve been using them in the shop and cutting grass for the last 5+ years. I use the ones with the wire connecting the two birds and can hang around your neck when not in use.
Have the 3Ms also for a little bit longer, but are a bit bulky. They’re my backup when I forget to charge the other ones or the battery dies. Battery on the 3Ms are much better though.

Elgin Ruckus Wireless Bluetooth Earplug Headphones, 25 dB NRR, Noise Canceling Mic, 12-Hour Battery, IP65 Sweatproof, Compliant with OSHA Hearing Safety Standards LINK
Had one pair for almost three years before they quit taking a charge. They work perfect on the tractor and lawn equipment.

I wear some walkers slim electronics with JBL buds underneath. My tinnitus already sucks, so I usually double up, so this just slightly replaces it.

Thanks for all the replies and recommendations! I’m hoping I can make a selection and get in before duck season starts. It’s hard to go back to hunting without hearing protection once started.

I see them for $200. Am I missing something?

If they are for shooting sports/hunting. Tetra are pricey, but the best on the market
