Caldwell E-MAX Shadows Pro - Electronic Hearing Protection with Ambient Sound Amplification, Bluetooth, Rechargeable Case for Shooting, Range

Had a problem with the case not charging. Not charging the earbuds and also not charging the case itself. Customer service was extremely easy go deal with and made it right immediately. I used to use them as my everyday but now just use them for the range. I would 100% recommend these. All electronics will malfunction from time to time, what matters is if the company makes it right. These guys do!

Edit - Lowering to 1star, with the provided large eartips installed the earphones don't stay in contact with the charging pins on the case, so I pulled them out one day and the batteries in the earphones were dead when the case was still full. I don't pack these in my range bag anymore, sticking to my Sordins. I primarily shoot outdoors so I purchased this so that I can hear my surroundings and have conversations while on/near the firing line. These are not suitable for indoor use - doubling up with foam earplugs and an electronic headset is recommended for that. When I am at the outdoor range by myself or with a few others these work as expected - gunshots are not amplified, but normal noises are. I wear in-ears at my computer all day so these are as comfortable - I was able to wear them for 4 hours without any concerns. However, when I shoot pistol matches, this product does not work correctly. Generally I am standing 10-20 feet behind the current shooter, and am in the vicinity of other action bays where gunfire is going off. In these situations, these headphones actually amplify the noises of all of these gunshots. Even at the lowest volume setting of ambient noise, I am still hearing amplified gunshots. While this isn't loud enough for me to consider it unhealthy, it borders on uncomfortable and defeats the entire point of these earbuds. If I am not conversing with anyone I generally just turn the ambient noise feature off entirely, which is disappointing.

First thing is that if you want be able turn the ambient volume up or down, you need to have it paired to your phone. Not sure why they require you to but that's the way it is. Noise cancellation, wearing the medium foam tips, it does well enough to limit the sound in a firing range with AR rifles. Ambient works well enough but you will want to turn it to a lower setting while in the range. Sometimes also, if I move my ears a little, the seal would break for a slight moment. Although it wont cause ringing in your ear when that happens, you will notice the seal breaking if a shot is fired near you. They didnt fall out when I was on the range. I tried to double up with these and ear muffs but their size pushed the ear plugs in where it was mostly incomfortable, unless you have oversized ear muffs. Good thing though, if you run out of battery, these can still be used as normal ear plugs. They include different sized foam plugs to try and also rubber plugs for comfort if you are using these for the gym or something, so far the rubber plugs are pretty comfortable

Satisfactory hearing protection while hunting Upland birds or waterfowl. Always use the supplied lanyard so when 1 pops out, you don't lose it.

Out of the package, works alright. It comes with a good selections of ear bud pieces for both office use and range use. Pairs well with my phones and easy to switch back and forth from silent to amplify. If you do use them on the range, you will have to switch the ear bud piece to the foam inserts. Tested them out in the office and I could barely hear my coworkers talking and when switched to amplify, I could hear the typing of keyboards as if they were being pressed/typed right next to me. One issue with the ear buds however, when utilizing one of the ear bud sizes that fits my ears, it prevents the charging capabilities of the earbuds and when you close the case, the ear bud doesn't charge at all. The pockets should have been made a little bigger to fit the earbud piece. Second issue, when at the range, I tested the ambient mode while going live and it does amplify voices however, it does NOT silence or muffle gun fire which is a huge down fall. This would be a nice feature to have if it could recognize anything over 50 or even 75 dbs and muffle or suppress the the noise/gun shots. Third issue, I haven't had the Shadow Pros for more than two months and the charging box stopped charging and there was no help from the manufacture/seller. I attempted to call them and was on the phone for over 2 hours with no assistance or any recommendations to resolve the issue except returning them and replacing them. Solution to the charging box not working for all those experiencing this issue if you have purchased these, you will need to pry off the lid cap carefully until the lid is removed. Then use a screw driver to pry the internal box out of the case (Carefully due to a connector attached to the internal box and the external box. No need to disconnect this connector). Next, locate the connector from the battery pack and disconnect this for at least 30 seconds. Reconnect the connector and everything should start flashing. (This is good since it has fully restarted). Once reconnected, place the lid hinge back into the external box and then slide the internal box back in carefully and press down on the internal box until in snaps back into the external box. I hope this helps anyone with this issue since no one else knew this solution at Caldwell.

I ordered these primarily for shooting sports and to use for hearing protection while still being able to hear ambient noise. I found none of the supplied tips did a good enough job of fitting my ears that noise leakage made them unusable to provide the protection needed. I ended up buying better tips and have been able to make them usable. Ambient noise amplification does work well, still with they could provide a little better loud noise protection.

First off arrived well in advance of the time quoted. They are really comfortable and block out the noise well. I use them for clay pigeon shoot. You can also hear comfortably with them on and can turn it up as well if needed! If you play music through them they seem reasonable. Not aa good as maybe a dedicated music headphone but certain more than OK for what they are used for! Really happy with my purchase!

Me llegó el paquete abierto y con señas de uso . Suciedad en los tapones y sin los tapones de refacción. Pésimo
