Hearing protection is a top priority for gun owners. In order to properly protect yours you need well made, reliable ear pro. Walker’s Game Ear is one of the top manufacturers of quality ear pro, and their latest product is a fantastic option for your next range day. It’s the Walker’s Disrupter Earbuds, and not only are the stellar hearing protection, they’re Bluetooth compatible.
Walker’s calls the Disrupter electronic ear bude best-in-class, and they certainly do up the ante. This ear pro delivers reliable noise protection and sound enhancement of desirable noises from the range to the backcountry. The Disrupters are designed to cancel dangerous-level noises while enhancing environmental sounds and delivering audio as needed from Bluetooth-capable devices such as phones and tablets. These ear buds have five programmed ambient sound settings — Universal, Clear Voice, Hi-Frequency Boost, Power Boost, and Custom — that can be chosen by the wearer to suit the needs at the time.
Doug Mann, VP of brands, said, “With this product, we’ve really taken every detail into consideration. By allowing users to choose the best listening mode for their activity and environment, the Disrupters are capable of not only minimizing the potential damage caused by repeated exposure to shotgun blasts and other gunfire but to improving the clarity of close-range sounds as well.”
These Walker’s earbuds include four new technological innovations:
- Forward Focus Mode, which makes it possible for users to emphasize sounds originating in front of them while simultaneously minimizing peripheral noise. This is a useful feature for things such as shooting steel at longer distances.
- 360° Directional Sound, which is provided by four microphones (two per ear bud) for the purpose of improving delivery of true 360° directional audio. This is great for hunters because it helps them better identify exactly where noises are coming from.
- ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) Technology that’s meant to reduce unwanted background noise which can help improve concentration and focus while delivering a better listening experience overall.
- Rapid Impulse Cancellation designed to react almost immediately to cancel out harmful noise levels to protect the user’s hearing.
Disrupters operate wirelessly using the Walker’s Link 2.0 app which is available for both iOS and Android systems. Using the app means users can easily alter sound settings, adjust the volume, monitor battery levels, and change auto shut-off time. Integrated Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) takes care of necessary system updates.
MSRP for the Walker’s Disrupter Ear Buds is set at $249.99.
