Ive had Caldwells, Walkers muffs & corded electronic plugs and now Im running Axils.
My favorite so far had been the Caldwells. However for some reason, they now blink either red or yellor or green. One will blink and the other wont. Then ill get the othet
R to stop blinking and the other will start. Frustrating. Looked in the manual and also YouTube videos. Can't figure the stupid thing out.
MidwayUSA had walkers with the cord behind your neck. Bought them in Jan last season and crapped out on me over the summer in July. Barely 6 mo.
I also would NOT recommend ones with a cord. Laying in my layout, you look left or right and the cord pulls the plug out. If in an A Frame or on the range, totally fine. But not in a layout with your head against the head pad.
I used the Axils for the first time Saturday & Sunday. Theyre OK.
I got the blue tooth ones just because they were only $20 more from Rogers a couple weeks back.
The Caldwells were more...."pure" in sound. I could hear better directionally. The Axils are more....shall I say..."quiet" or "muffled" maybe. Hard to explain knowing the difference between Caldwells and Axil's, even with the volume high.
I guess maybe a better way to say it is the Caldwells helped me ENHANCE my hearing. Where as the Axils dont. I hear better without the Axils than I do with the Axils in. So Id say I hear maybe 80% of what I hear without the Axils in my ears.
So not as pure.
And Im too cheap to order anything more expensive. As much as Id like the $400-2000 ones. Ill probably stick with the $150 ones and replace them every other year for the next 20 yrs. Maybe by then the technology of the $2000 ones will be down in my price point....?
