Good price but... - Caldwell E-Max Electronic Hearing Protections

In my opinion, this unit is just ok unit when it comes to transitioning from a fully passive to electric headset. It works ok when up close and facing the right direction, but for overall loud noises coming from all directions, I did not find them ideal. I found myself having to use foam or even my Jabra 75t earbuds in conjunction with these Caldwells to get the protection I personally needed. Just going back to my much older passive headset was a better option. Although I could not hear voices as well as with the Caldwells, the single point of protection was much better.

Now one might ask "...what do you expect for the price"? I say there is truth in that question. BUT, at the same time, if you make it and sell it, don't produce for a low price point if the product is not going to work. Don't blame the customer because you don't like the truth.

Overall, I say give them as try and see what you think. They might work for you. I believe at the very least, you might appreciate having to pay much more for something like Peltors or others. My next move, move up to a $200 range headset and see what I think.
