Used them a reasonable amount. They can be a pain in the arse in tight stuff but when moving in stealth mode they can sure pick up minor sounds. If turned up too loud they can make a fantail flitting around sound like a wood pidgeon taking of next to you. I usually turn them on and stand/sit quietly, then adjust volume till I get a level I'm comfortable with. Then carry on hunting as normal. I don't always wear them but have been experimenting with them for about two years on and off, they have helped me get a few animals that I probably would have missed out on. Just another tool to help get animals.

my hearing is stuffed and have been looking down this path 2 questions how are they in windy conditions and cicadas loud to loud
