I've been buying a lot of Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools the past few years, and so far I love them. I tried a few Ryobi, but returned them due to them being crap. So I am now a hardened Milwaukee fan boy.
MILWAUKEE - THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE! Anyway.... Milwaukee is now selling earbuds that I am thinking of buying for mowing etc. Has anyone had here had experience with using them for shooting? |

I have them and used them for shooting outside and they worked great. 9mm 5.56, and 7.62. They have hear through technology and mute anything over a certain decibel.

Thanks! I think they might suit my needs for mowing, grinding, and shooting.

As much as I like my Milwaukee M12 tools, for ear protection, I go with ISO Tunes 2.0. They are bluetooth and have a 25db noise reduction (and OSHA compliant for work) They have six different ear pieces to get a good fit and the battery lasts almost 24hrs. I use them when I need at work sites, while running my Kubota at home, and at the range. Not a bad price either

I have had horrible luck with ISOtunes, I stay away from them. They had to replace them 3 times before I decided it’s not worth all the hassle to have them keep having issues. |

25NRR is on the low end for shooting sessions. Something like the Axil Xcor is 29NRR.

So I tried the Milwaukee earbuds. Nope. Not for me.
They worked okay for having music while mowing. 22LR out of 10/22 was fine. .380 out of an LCP II was a bit louder than regular earplugs. 10mm out of a Glock 29 was too loud, so I didn't try center fire rifle rounds. Nice idea for a work site, but not for my needs. |

I tried several of the options, but none were as good as I had hoped. Even the manual indicated they were not suitable for impulse noises such as gunshots. From page seven of the manual: "Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the noise reduction rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire" |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By VinD: Bought the XCORs but had to return them as they did not fit my smallish ear canal, was painful after a while. Wished they did work tho'. I use the Shothunt for upland and waterfowl hunting. I didn't recommend them because a lot of people balk at the $700 price tag. They use Comply ear tips, so there are a lot of sizes. |

They are probably just rebranded.
