LA's Review of Walkers Ultimate Power Electronic Muff Quads
I've had plenty of Walkers electronic muffs and quite familiar with them. They generally work well at keeping the noise to hearing safe levels but microphones their microphones help little with hearing enhancement.
You'd think these quad mic muffs would be the solution. It's a good idea but poorly designed. The quad muffs do provide a little better directional sound detection but it's not much better than their their std muffs.
The biggest areas where they fail are microphone sensitivity and background noise reduction. These 2 areas are especially important for hunting or anyone looking for hearing enhancement at the range. Conversation on windy days or with other background noise is difficult. Hunters looking for enhanced hearing should look elsewhere. Bottom line is that noise cancellation technology has been around for decades - Walkers needs to use it. More sensitive mics have been around for even longer. People want super levels of hearing without the amplified background noise.

Pros:
- Somewhat improved directional sound detection
Cons:
- hunting
- Background noise problematic
- Microphones still not sensitive enoug
- Conversation on days w mild wind
- Mics still not sensitive enough
- Enhanced hearing
Best Used for:
- Range shooting / Competition
Would Recommend:
No
