Walkers Disrupter Bluetooth Earbuds

A couple of real challenges. I am a waterfowl hunter, and finding hearing protection that allows you to hear birds while still protecting your ears continues to be problematic. The disrupters solve that problem and don't. Hearing birds is great, and shooting out is great. HOWEVER, 1) every time I blow a duck call, the hearing protection kicks in, and you can hear the tone of your call. 2) When you blow a speck call (mine is loud), they go into a really high ringing sound, like a microphone feedback problem. 3) When you put them in at shoot time, they automatically connect to your music on your phone. Trying to listen to your blind partner call and shoot ducks while Luke Combs is yelling in your ear is a little awkward. Then you've got to dig in your blind bag and pull out your phone—less than ideal. 4) I dropped my recharge case in the water on hunt 4. They're done.

Purpose designed for shooters. Dependable and ruggedly made.

Comfortable to wear all day long while deer hunting. Battery lasted the full day with no issues. Can still hear everything around me and tell what direction the sound is coming from. That App pairs well and is easy to use. Great product and I would recommend them.

great product - I use them to dove hunt - they protect your ears and you can listen to music

My wife purchased these for me as a gift and at first I was really, really excited. These have the best reviews and a lot of positive press. That is what made my disappointment twice as bad. The app is useful for seeing what is going on and mostly pretty good. No real complaints. The headphones themselves aren't as good as the app. All in all these headphones/ear protection are just ok trending to not worth it. When all is well they work as advertised as both wireless headphones and very convenient hearing pro to use while shooting. Unfortunately they are REALLY "fiddly". Charging the case and the headphones is hit and miss. Sometimes the headphones charge and the case doesn't. Other times the case charges but one or both of the headphones don't charge. The app lets you see what the charge status is of each component so it’s real clear. More often than not when I use the headphones I'll find that the one of the ear buds hasn't charged. I have taken to tapping the case on the counter after I reinsert the ear buds after use just to ensure that they are well seated in the charging case. It doesn't matter. Sometimes both ear buds recharge and sometimes they don't. Very frustrating. Also the ear buds won't disconnect reliably when I place them back into the case. Very frequently they'll stay connected and the battery in both the ear buds and my phone gets drawn down because of this persistent connection. I've taken to deleting the ear buds from my blue tooth list of devices and then re-adding them later on. Again, very frustrating. Finally, the right ear bud will almost every time not pair to the left ear bud and/or the phone. I have to re-insert it into the charging case several times before it will connect. Sometimes I just have to shut down the whole app, place both ear buds in the case and then try again. Like I said at the beginning. When they work they work just as advertised. However, getting them to work is a chore and I'm just about fed up.

There great, just wish the battery life was a little longer..

Ive had the silencer BT 2.0 and changed it to an axil xcor. seeing the disrupter, i thought that it would be an improvement on the xcor. i tried with two planks banging and my really loud truck horn and it worked well. so i went to the range today and found these as my pros and cons vs the axil xcor pro: case has a loop and would be very useful to attach to bag key holders app is good with the equalizer and intuitive controls music sound is good phone audio is good there is noise reduction albeit a different tone connects to bluetooth easily con: a bit heavier than my axil xcor gunshot sound is higher pitch compared to my axil case is bigger than axil it felt like the foam tips would not be too snug (medium tips used) and i was concerned they may fall out as the foam expands (i used the small, but they were loose on me) i felt that i was more comfortable with the axil when shooting (although the phone audio of the axil is really low and bad)

I finally went shooting with my new Disrupter ear buds, and could not have been happier with the results. They are comfortable and completely protected my ears from 100 rounds from my 9MM pistol (and nearby shooters with rifles). I thought that you needed to get custom molded in-ear hearing protection to get this level of comfort, but not with the Disrupter. It was easy to set up and control the Disrupter from my Android phone using the Walkers app.

I bought these disrupters Nov 2023. My disrupters work well, but there were times when one ear bud would not work. Not sure how to solve the problem. Even with that issue I will give the product a 4 out of 5.

The ear buds are comfortable and work exceedingly well
