Reviews & Ratings for Safariland - TCI Liberator Hearing Protection with Adaptive Over-the-Head Suspension — 9 reviews — Page 1

Nothing special about these. Walker’s for 50 bucks are just as good.

I have 2 wireless ear buds but just wasnt satisfied and bought these over the ear muffs. I am impressed with the ease of control and the quality i silence plus I can still hear local chat. excellent

They work. They suppress the sound of gun fire. The battery compartment is water resistant. So they have that. I'm just not all that impressed with the rest. There are two significant things that I miss from my old ear pro. First is that you can't turn the volume up very high. The highest volume is like, normal volume. My old ear pro I could turn it up enough to be able to hear what was happening in the next room. On these I have them turned up all the way, and it's normal talking volume. I'd like it more if they could be a louder. I like having the option of turning the volume up so that I can have super-hearing at the range, so I can hear everything going on around me. When I'm wearing these I feel so limited on what I can hear going on around me. I'd almost say you hear less than what you hear without them. I tried all three settings and I couldn't make any improvement. They do block the sound of the gun shot, so they do what they are supposed to, but I'd give another star if I could turn the volume up. The second thing that I don't like is that they don't fold up. My old ear pro could fold up nice and compact, easy to store in my range bag. These don't, I can't put them in my range bag because they take up too much space. I carry them separate. A solid three star.

I’ve been looking for the perfect earmuff for a while now. I thought that 400++ $ earmuffs would do the job. I knew it’s gonna be no good the moment I pulled them out of the box. They are well made and lightweight but lightweight in certain applications is no good. Light means no density and if there’s no density how is it going to protect your hearing. I took them to the range and fire a few shots from my 556. After 3 shots I put them back into the box as I knew that with 308 I’d suffer a concussion wearing these. Microphones are superior to anything I tried before and you can tell exactly where the sounds are coming from but I’d rather preserve my hearing than hear someone speak clearly. No case, just a sack with safari land logo. My Walkers razors are waaaay better and cost a fraction of safariland. I like cool stuff but I prefer not to go deaf after a few trips to the range.

Comfortable, fit-well, 3 sound reduction settings, many color options, lots of accessories to add on but best of all made by Safariland! Enough said! Order and delivery was smooth from Optics Planet, received them on time

The product appears to be great quality, the materials are top notch and the gel cups are extremely comfortable. The gel cups help to prevent headaches after hours of wearing them unlike my peltor comtac III. The audio quality is great with multiple volume levels. The three different audio functions are a nice touch especially if I’m in a constantly loud environment like an APC or being around loud machinery. The rubber cage around the foam/mic is also a nice touch. I’ve lost those foam pieces on my peltors multiple times. The profile of the ears don’t interfere with running a rifle. They also fold up nice for storage. I’m not sure how well they work with a helmet as my peltors are dedicated to my ballistic helmet. I’ve used the liberators for general range work, with a variety of 5-20 team guys shooting SBRs and they have no problem blocking the loud noise and still allowing me to provide instructions at a normal tone. The loud tones are just dampened and not completely cut out like some lesser quality brands. I have not used the liberators in a CQB shoot house environment so I cannot advise how well they work with the additional concussion from that environment. So far I am completely happy with my purchase and expect these to last a long time.

I own both the previous version of HP and this one, and I have to say the electronics upgrade offers an amazing sound quality! I normally wear these for outdoor shooting, and I use them in Mode 1 (ANR). For indoor shooting, I use either Mode 2 (ANC) or Mode 3 (ANR/ANC) as the percussion of shooting indoors requires better NRR. That's the whole reason for the three modes; to customize your hearing protection / ambient noise levels based on the environment.

I'm also a fan of the adaptive suspension! I have the Team Wendy mounts for these, and I can switch from over the head to the helmet mounts in just a few minutes.

They're also made in the USA, which is not something you'll find in other manufacturers. They have a very responsive customer service group. An actual phone number that someone answers and an email the gets a reply within 24hrs.

A great buy for the price, and a great upgrade from previous versions!
