Not affective - AXIL XCOR Pro Hearing Protection Ear Buds

I was excited to get these and ditch the bulky headphones while maintaining active hearing & still having ear-pro.

I ended up disappointed.

While they passed the clap test as shown in the instructions, auto deadening the sound and they work very well in that aspect, if i drop a magazine on my tailgate it auto deadens sound.

But they do not detect & auto deaden actual gunfire which is very disappointing.
As far as ear-pro goes, they work better when they are shut off.

The bluetooth & sound enhancement work very well. im sure there are cheaper earbuds that do that. their purpose was ear pro. they dont deaden gunfire, or do a good job of protecting your hearing, which is why it got 2 stars.

(Yes, i had the right style of tips on them,
No, they weren't loose or improperly worn & i was outdoors, so its not like the sound was amplified by being indoors)
