I have to admit my first fitting session was a struggle, during which I inadvertently turned them on. Got them in and thought, "These things suck, I can hear everything," before realizing that I was supposed to hear everything at that point. So glad nobody was video recording that. So far, so good, and it's awfully nice to get a decent cheek weld without forcing a muff away from the ear (and finding out the hard way). I really wouldn't use them for music, they're for shooting.
I have 2 sets of those and love them. Listen to Calls, movies and great protectors at the range. No more sweaty ears. I wear them all day at work and minimizes listening to bs from coworkers.
To put them in deeply enough, you should first squeeze and compress the foam before putting them in, and then pull up on your ear with the second hand to straighten the ear channel when inserting them. Then you don’t need to press very hard ;) Also, when looping the wire around your ear, hold and press the plug with your second hand. They work great overall!
Compressing them does nothing. They expand so fast there is is no chance to get them in your ear before they expand. There are 3 major flaws, first is the rapid expansion, second is that the foam is too short, and third is that the tube inside the tip that gives it structure is too soft and doesn’t allow you to force the tip into your ear canal. A smaller flaw is that the tips are greasy and slick. These are not like comply foam tips, not are they like 3M or any other brand of ear plugs. I just received mine, so I’m going to give them a few days, but it’s very likely I’ll be returning them. I use earpro every day, and have tried dozens of different kinds, these are by far the most finicky and most likely to fail mid use.
I watched their video on them. They suggest that you rotate them 90 degrees to the front before putting them in. I find that works very well. I rotate them to the front, shove them in, and rotate them back to the position they should be in to loop over the ear and it kind of screws them into the ear.
Received mine today, just fitted them up, linked the blue tooth, turned on RUclips to try them and this is the first video that popped up.... They feel decent once you get the right tip on them, audio is ok, gonna shoot this weekend.
Love the Axil 2.0 GS Extreme. I "enhance" mine by using a set of USGI silicone shooting earplugs (OD green hardcase case) the hole in the center keeps them on tight, massively improves sound quality and comfort...try them
@rsh1967 - Sounds interesting but I'm not tracking because none of the "USGI earplugs" I find have a hole. Do you have a link or more specifics because I love the idea if I could find whatever you're talking about. Thanks.
When those ear buds wear out try some COMPLY EAR BUD TIPS, I had some for my Dre Beats ear buds and they happened to fit my ear pro and MADE ALL DIFFERENCE IN WORLD! They have Silicone, Foam & HYBRID Silicone with Foam
I didn’t know this until after I bought them last Monday 🥲 Currently watching this video with them in, can’t wait to get out on the range and try them!
I just bought some for $130USD, plus the warranty that was like $25USD, and then shipping was another $ 30USD. Overall, I paid $176USD, plus a $28CAD duty fee at the door. I hope they are worth it because they were not cheap, lmao
I always go to my Peltor Comtacs, they work fantastic, unfortunately battery life on them is not super great, but it’s fair enough. But lately I’ve been wanting to switch to something smaller and the ability to use Bluetooth and active hearing protection at the same time is a huge quality of life bonus.
Would u hunt with these ? How are they for increased hearing in the woods? I am looking for something to do light shooting with but mostly something that I can use out in the field hunting deer and elk. I always shoot with ear protection at the range but never have ear protection on when hunting cus I focus so much on hearing my surroundings. But after 20 years I am having noticeable hearing loss. Thanks for all your honest reviews.
Thanks for the review. I will have to get them. Several competition shooters have had positive reviews as well. Walker quad slims, are the best muffs I've found. The quad allows you to have a better idea, of the direction, the sound is coming from. But, I agree muffs don't work with long guns.
@cortneyblack8768 the quads work well for handguns indoor and outdoor. The axils catch on my collar and pulls on my ear. I fit them snug to stay in. But, that makes my ears sore after a long day.
@Backfire 2 You say the audio doesn't go in and out during shooting but that's exactly what I experienced with mine on first indoor range trip. I couldn't hear what my friends were trying to tell me because it kept dampening everything.
I had a set of the AXIL GS extreme, unfortunately I could never get my right ear to seal properly no matter what tip I used. The left was great. I foolishly forgot them at the range one day so I no longer can keep experimenting. I have gone to the Otto Noizebarrier and am really happy with them. Ear Pro is tough you have to find what works for you.
I really like the Howard Leight Impact Lights after putting the gel cups on them. I double up with the Surefire Defenders in either the foam or flange style when shooting rifle.
Yes - the bluetooth is one function (audio) and the active noise cancelling is a function that's measured by battery life. A NOTE on "noise cancelling" - if the dB's aren't reduced passively it's not hearing protection. Just because noise is being actively cancelled does *NOT* equal hearing protection. dB attenuation is the key figure.
@@NA-rr7jl I have yet to really put it to the test. The ear buds come in a ton of sizes to get a good seal, but I'll still notice some slipping over use and time. That will affect the noise blocking.
I got these and spent an hour trying to get any of the tips to actually fit in my ears, these are not very easy to get fitted properly. I squeezed the foam tips, rotated them according to their instructional video, but so far I'm leaning toward returning thm and just dealing with the muffs that hurt my ears after an hour
@@Michael.likes.horsepower So quick update. I finally got a decent fit into my ears and I didn't want to give up on them and took them to an outdoor range for a steel match yesterday. Nothing louder than a 9mm, and I gotta be honest, they worked pretty well. I didn't get a lot of static or white noise, conversations were clear, and they didn't slip or pop out like a lot of other in the earplugs. I will say that after about an hour and a half they did start to hurt my ears, not inside the canal, but where the rest of the device sat in my ears. Now, I don't know if that's because of all the wrestling I had to do to get them to fit or because of the device itself. So to sum up my experience, they are very difficult to get into your ears properly but if you're able to do that, they work well outside. If anyone at Axil reads these, my recommendation would be to come up with inserts that are more easily fitted into the ear, something other than squishable foam. Other than that I think I'll keep them.
The Ranger brand silicone ear plugs at Harbor Freight are very very high performance. TBI left me extremely sensitive to sound and I have tried a lot of earplugs that review well but the HF Rangers are by far the best i have used. They are cheap too for a bag of 50, $7.49.
I recently got these as well and I love them. I find that it is easiest to get them in if I rotate them 90 degrees towards the front before I put them in my ears. And then I rotate them back and they screw right into my ear.
Do the Aixl GS electronic hearing protectors come with size small foam plug part? I understood you to say not to use the silicone ones. I’ve used Walker Game electronic ear muffs, and Pro Ears, both electronic ear muffs and on the range when sighting in my rifle I use ear plugs plus muffs. My Dad is a retired ENT physician and was in the Army in his younger days too, so I identify with you. LOL. So..in the day, I was the kid who went to school dances with ear plugs in. I don’t loose my cheek weld or knock the muffs loose when shooting my rifle and enjoy hearing the birds and deer crunching leaves when hunting with the over the ear muffs on…BUT the ear muffs that I wear over a ball cap begin to hurt my temple areas on my skull after an hr or two in the stand. The Aixl look like that will eliminate that problem plus the chord might keep me from loosing one out of the treestand. Thanks, MW
So are they good because you get paid to push them, or are they good because they are good? How do they do on windy days when out hunting? I can't use earmuffs when shooting a long rifle or shotgun. I've had a pair of rechargeable in the ear electronic plugs for 7-8 years (paid $450), and one is not charging now. With all that said, how long do you think these that your talking up will last, and can they be worn in the rain or snow? Thanks for any feedback you can give.
Can you do a follow up with a short review with a mic test? I'm tempted to buy these but I would like to know how the call quality is on them. If you don't have a way to call record yourself I can send you a number I use for voice mail only and I can link to the recording file here.
I received mine as a gift and had it for about a month, and I found the wire that goes over my ear, very stiff, and by the time I finally get it in my ear, my ears are beat read, and I don't hear anything in my ear, I don't think mine work right. I am struggling with them too much
i had a problem getting the foam to compress and getting them on before the foam expanded while trying to get the wires over the ears. Then I could not remember which buttons do what and once they are on your head you can't look at the switches. In other words, very hard to get on and take off. Once they were on and in place the protection was good and hearing conversations was good but it is very awkward getting them on and fitting properly. Looking for something else.
In your opinion would these be good in a factory work environment where there is ALWAYS loud noise constantly? Ordered 2 pairs earlier today and then saw your video.
I would love to know the answer to this question as I work in a heavy industrial setting and want to keep what little hearing I have left while still being able to hear voices in a loud environment with hearing protection in
I bought these in hopes of using them for working side gigs, nightclub security. To be blunt, they suck, tons of static and feedback from the music and can't hear anyone talk when trying to communicate.
They do a good job of canceling loud sound and the sound enhancing mode works well. But as far as the music it sounds really bad, no high or lows, just Blah mid sound. Sound way worse than my old iPod wired pair I have. Unless they are supposed to sound better and I have a bad pair don’t know but these are not good for listening to music.
Does the sound suppression kick in while using enhancement or do you nees to switch. Exp while deer hunting with the enhancement on do you need to swith to suppression before you shoot
how do you find the electronisc hiss that you experience with some other hearing enhancement aids on the hisgher volume settings when using them for outdoor activities, hiking hunting etc.
Have you ever tried wearing sound-dampening earmuffs over these for extra protection at the range? Would that work and allow you to still hear other people’s voices?
Mine broke 32 days after purchase. Haven't heard from axil for a replacement and I have the 3 year extended warranty. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I wore them at a range when it was raining. They broke
Really wanted to like these but could not get any of the tips to properly seal. Tried them out using the "clap test" in the instructions and firing a .17. All they did was amplify the sound. The foam ear tips are so stiff they will not mould to my ears. Not recommended.
They actually work pretty good. I've mainly shot indoor and theyre awesome. I've had them a little over a hear now though and they won't hold a charge any longer and I'm past the warranty so I can't do anything about it
What about answering calls. Also let's say I am on a sidexside. Will the person on the other end have. Alot if background noise. These are two points no one touches on in their reviews.
Got a set 2 months ago, and they already dont work. Went about 2 weeks without using them, and now they won't turn on or charge. A few days ago, the charging kight would just flash blue and red until they were unplugged at which point nothing would happen. Plug them back in, and the charging light would turn on as well as the headphones but would turn off as soon as they got unplugged. Now, the light won't even light up when plugged in. I couldn't recommend them enough at first, but now i can't recommend them at all. If i wanted to waste $200, i would have just thrown cash into my fire pit.
hi i want to buy a axil earbud from Turkey but i confused , is the axil gs extreme that none bluetooth model and bluetooth model have same microphone for outcoming sounds . i don't listen too much music . if they have sound quality for outstanding sounds i want to buy none bluetooth version.
hey, so how well are these in full face helmets, riding motorbike on the highways? also im looking at using these at work in my upholstery shop, so my hands are free and using the router time to time.
COULD these potentially work for BOTH the gun range AND as ear pro while riding a motorcycle? I'm wondering if these could replace both my other ear pros for both applications. Because I have been looking for a REALLY good set of ear pro for while I'm riding my motorcycle as well. Because if I could use these at the shooting range and then just be left in and be worn under my helmet, block out the extreme wind noise over 85 decibels, allow me to still hear everything AND allow me to listen to music and answer the phone while on my motorcycle that would be AMAZING. I'm just unsure as to how much they stick out of your ear or if they would get caught when putting my motorcycle helmet on and off or if they would stay in place. How tightly do they stay in your ear canal? If ANYONE has ANY experiences that could help me make a decision that would be great.
Hmmm.... This is a good question. I JUST got my pair, lemme figure em out and go on a ride and I'll get back to you! (I will say I bought these for ear pro for working in an automotive shop, and not exactly for shooting, so it'll probably be a bit before I'm able to give a review for that considering I live in the desert, we go shooting in the mesa, and it's been 105° regularly for about 2 weeks. A bike ride I can do though!)
@@lf3skillz921 I work in automotive and use them in the shop, I use the "medium" .... Insulated? buds and they work pretty great! I loved them on the bike, there is a bit of a balance you have to figure out between your music and what you want to hear on the road. My only complaint is they kinda hurt to wear for long periods of time (as a tiny woman my ears are also tiny) and pulling my helmet off kinda hurts my ears as well. The controls are easy to reach (even with the helmet on) and feel even with gloves on so it's easy to skip a song or turn the Bluetooth down and the surround up (make sure you already have it turned on, cause that switch is a little hard to feel). I will also say my bike is also not very loud (I really need to put new exhausts on it 🤦🏻♀️). The battery life is pretty damn good with both the surround and the Bluetooth going, but as I haven't ridden since about October? I've predominantly been using them in the shop. I haven't used them to go shooting yet, and probably won't until spring since my family and I go in the mesa (outside in the boonies) lol
The foam won't compress and you have to memorize the setting prior to putting them on. Too many buttons/switches. If you are wearing a coat or are putting your AR over you shoulder with a sling they will catch the wire and pull them out of your ears. The wire that is connected to the plugs needs to be shaped each time you put them on. These were the biggest pains I have ever experienced while hunting. By the time you grab the wire and fit it around your ear, what little compression the foam had is not there. If you want to be frustrated get these.
Do you have a recommendation for kids that are not ear muffs, my boy is able to hunt this year he is 11, and as I'm sure you know they have small ear canals.
Is the ambient audio in stereo with these things? I've got some cheap Walker's muffs and the ambient audio playback is in mono and it is very frustrating. Can't tell where any sounds are coming from.
Can someone answer me this. I have tried to find a review that states weather the hearing enhancement allows the user to determine the direction noises are coming from. My primary use will the stalking with a bow. Shooting with them will be a sometimes. Anyone have experience with this specific function of the headset. Thanks!!!
I must admit I have these, but I wonder if anyone who likes these actually have ears. I have tried every eartip they have and I have not been able to get them to fit my ears well at all. I don't know how they would do at the range because I am fearful of taking them to the range because of the poor fit.
I bought them based on so many reviews and I have not been impressed. I have had much better noise canceling from other in ear protective devices, where I literally heard nothing when guns are firing and still heard a person's voice.

I have to admit my first fitting session was a struggle, during which I inadvertently turned them on. Got them in and thought, "These things suck, I can hear everything," before realizing that I was supposed to hear everything at that point. So glad nobody was video recording that. So far, so good, and it's awfully nice to get a decent cheek weld without forcing a muff away from the ear (and finding out the hard way). I really wouldn't use them for music, they're for shooting.

Good to HEAR 😉. I just picked up a pair and looking forward to using them soon!

Walker Razors -- My "go to". Great choice for protection and electronic amplification so you can hear people at the range.
The Axils have a march sale (2023). Right now they are $99, original price is $197, so pretty good deal
Yep, got mine a couple of weeks ago. Liking them so far.

I just got off the phone with my father - i used these as they just came today- and he said he could hear and understand me just fine
I received mine as a gift and had it for about a month, and I found the wire that goes over my ear, very stiff, and by the time I finally get it in my ear, my ears are beat read, and I don't hear anything in my ear, I don't think mine work right. I am struggling with them too much
I ordered the Axil GS Extreme 2.0 a couple of days ago.
Buy 2 and they are 1/2 price currently.

Anyone have a video on the wind reduction pads install?
Great review. just got a pair.
Can'twaittotry them out
The link to the cheap silicone ones doesn’t work anymore FYI
Do these allow you to tell what DIRECTION the sound is coming from, as that is CRITICAL for realistic app's such as hunting ?
Just picked up the Extrme 2.0 and like them too
They do a good job of canceling loud sound and the sound enhancing mode works well. But as far as the music it sounds really bad, no high or lows, just Blah mid sound. Sound way worse than my old iPod wired pair I have. Unless they are supposed to sound better and I have a bad pair don’t know but these are not good for listening to music.
Are these waterproof? I don't think they are but they have no mention on the website on if they are or are not. They would be perfect if they are
Does the sound suppression kick in while using enhancement or do you nees to switch. Exp while deer hunting with the enhancement on do you need to swith to suppression before you shoot
Have you tried the new XCOR model? Seems to be an upgrade from these
Would they be a good pick for hunting also? My use would be keeping them in the whole day and on during the hunt.
Can you update the link for the cheap silicone ear pro it no longer works.
how do you find the electronisc hiss that you experience with some other hearing enhancement aids on the hisgher volume settings when using them for outdoor activities, hiking hunting etc.
Have you ever tried wearing sound-dampening earmuffs over these for extra protection at the range? Would that work and allow you to still hear other people’s voices?
That's a good question.

If you shoot left handed they squeal like crazy when the buffer tube gets anywhere near it.
There are much better options out there.
What the best option?
Mine broke 32 days after purchase. Haven't heard from axil for a replacement and I have the 3 year extended warranty. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I wore them at a range when it was raining. They broke
how do you think these would work for listening to music while mowing. Im thinking they could serve many purposes while not in use for shooting
I have to wear glasses full time so are these user-friendly to glasses and still comfortable as well ?
Really wanted to like these but could not get any of the tips to properly seal. Tried them out using the "clap test" in the instructions and firing a .17. All they did was amplify the sound. The foam ear tips are so stiff they will not mould to my ears. Not recommended.
Anyone use these at an indoor range with folks to their right and left? How was your experience?
They actually work pretty good. I've mainly shot indoor and theyre awesome. I've had them a little over a hear now though and they won't hold a charge any longer and I'm past the warranty so I can't do anything about it
@@danthespaceman2779so you wouldn’t recommend them then?
What about answering calls. Also let's say I am on a sidexside. Will the person on the other end have. Alot if background noise. These are two points no one touches on in their reviews.
Got a set 2 months ago, and they already dont work. Went about 2 weeks without using them, and now they won't turn on or charge. A few days ago, the charging kight would just flash blue and red until they were unplugged at which point nothing would happen. Plug them back in, and the charging light would turn on as well as the headphones but would turn off as soon as they got unplugged. Now, the light won't even light up when plugged in. I couldn't recommend them enough at first, but now i can't recommend them at all. If i wanted to waste $200, i would have just thrown cash into my fire pit.
wondering how this will work in a work shop situation ?
Is it good enough at an indoor range? Or do you have to double down with earmuffs? What about about outdoors?
hi i want to buy a axil earbud from Turkey but i confused , is the axil gs extreme that none bluetooth model and bluetooth model have same microphone for outcoming sounds . i don't listen too much music . if they have sound quality for outstanding sounds i want to buy none bluetooth version.
Is it true these help enhance the ambient sounds? Wanted these for hunting to pick up deer in forest
Do they enhance the sound of wildlife while hunting? Could I clearly hear my duck call while wearing them?
Do these enhance the sounds around you? Meaning good during a hunting application?
hey, so how well are these in full face helmets, riding motorbike on the highways? also im looking at using these at work in my upholstery shop, so my hands are free and using the router time to time.
COULD these potentially work for BOTH the gun range AND as ear pro while riding a motorcycle? I'm wondering if these could replace both my other ear pros for both applications. Because I have been looking for a REALLY good set of ear pro for while I'm riding my motorcycle as well. Because if I could use these at the shooting range and then just be left in and be worn under my helmet, block out the extreme wind noise over 85 decibels, allow me to still hear everything AND allow me to listen to music and answer the phone while on my motorcycle that would be AMAZING. I'm just unsure as to how much they stick out of your ear or if they would get caught when putting my motorcycle helmet on and off or if they would stay in place. How tightly do they stay in your ear canal? If ANYONE has ANY experiences that could help me make a decision that would be great.
Hmmm.... This is a good question. I JUST got my pair, lemme figure em out and go on a ride and I'll get back to you! (I will say I bought these for ear pro for working in an automotive shop, and not exactly for shooting, so it'll probably be a bit before I'm able to give a review for that considering I live in the desert, we go shooting in the mesa, and it's been 105° regularly for about 2 weeks. A bike ride I can do though!)
@@paigesdontfly Any feedback? Just got them for chgristmas and not planning on riding ths winter :P. Kind of excited to try them under my helmet.
@@lf3skillz921 I work in automotive and use them in the shop, I use the "medium" .... Insulated? buds and they work pretty great!
I loved them on the bike, there is a bit of a balance you have to figure out between your music and what you want to hear on the road.
My only complaint is they kinda hurt to wear for long periods of time (as a tiny woman my ears are also tiny) and pulling my helmet off kinda hurts my ears as well. The controls are easy to reach (even with the helmet on) and feel even with gloves on so it's easy to skip a song or turn the Bluetooth down and the surround up (make sure you already have it turned on, cause that switch is a little hard to feel). I will also say my bike is also not very loud (I really need to put new exhausts on it 🤦🏻♀️).
The battery life is pretty damn good with both the surround and the Bluetooth going, but as I haven't ridden since about October? I've predominantly been using them in the shop. I haven't used them to go shooting yet, and probably won't until spring since my family and I go in the mesa (outside in the boonies) lol
The foam won't compress and you have to memorize the setting prior to putting them on. Too many buttons/switches. If you are wearing a coat or are putting your AR over you shoulder with a sling they will catch the wire and pull them out of your ears. The wire that is connected to the plugs needs to be shaped each time you put them on. These were the biggest pains I have ever experienced while hunting. By the time you grab the wire and fit it around your ear, what little compression the foam had is not there. If you want to be frustrated get these.
can i use these for music festivals too? Like can you hear music well with them?
I invested in a pair of SORDIN earmuffs. Unbelievable...! Costly, but I invest in my hearing and brain.
Hi. Why would the company provide the silicone tips if they don't provide protection? Thank you.
Non shooting related events/activities. Concerts, monster jam, yard work, power tools.
Have had the axil 2.0 for about 2-3 was so far very happy wit them don’t know about indoor range hearing enhancement is noticeably better
how do you like the hearing enhancement? Does it sound like you're listening through a tube?
Do you have a recommendation for kids that are not ear muffs, my boy is able to hunt this year he is 11, and as I'm sure you know they have small ear canals.
Do you still think they are work getting? Now that you've had them for longer
How do you turn them off completely? If I turn off sound enhancement it keeps running the music. How do you shut these off?
how good are they if you use a muzzle brake on a high power rifle?
I wonder if the Axils have ConfirmFoam tips?
Is the ambient audio in stereo with these things? I've got some cheap Walker's muffs and the ambient audio playback is in mono and it is very frustrating. Can't tell where any sounds are coming from.
Got some now. They do indeed provide stereo sound for the outside sounds. They work very well.
Are they good for the indoor range as well?
Can someone answer me this. I have tried to find a review that states weather the hearing enhancement allows the user to determine the direction noises are coming from. My primary use will the stalking with a bow. Shooting with them will be a sometimes. Anyone have experience with this specific function of the headset. Thanks!!!
We read directions! - but only as a last desperate resort ....
I wish they made the leads a little longer
Do these have a microphone to hear others around you speaking?
I must admit I have these, but I wonder if anyone who likes these actually have ears. I have tried every eartip they have and I have not been able to get them to fit my ears well at all. I don't know how they would do at the range because I am fearful of taking them to the range because of the poor fit.
@backfire2 do you still get good sound orientation with these?
have you tried tetra hearing?
How's wind noise & dry leaves/bush noise when hunting?
What are they like pew pew while in the indoor range
I didn't have a good first experience with them but I'll give them another few chances.
Do you know if they are compatible with MS Teams? Would like for work and play.
Do they work well in a stall at an indoor range?
Sometimes I aswell prefer the muff
I bought them based on so many reviews and I have not been impressed. I have had much better noise canceling from other in ear protective devices, where I literally heard nothing when guns are firing and still heard a person's voice.
Jerry Miculek always wears foam plugs and muffs.
WHO DAT????🏳🌈
@@Unburdened_Beauty what? 👂
My Walker Razors eat batteries like candy! At high volume I can't get a full two hours of use.
