Walker Suppressor Earbuds

Please take this advice from we shooters who have learned the hard way: Hearing protection when you're shooting is non-negotiable. Use it every time you shoot, regardless of caliber and location. Towards that end, Walker's Game Ear has just announced that its new Suppressor Earbuds are available for purchase. With a noise reduction rating of 25 decibels (dB), these earbuds deliver low-profile sound reduction to help spare your hearing.

The new Suppressor earbuds are available in two styles: one with Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (LE) connectivity, and the other without. They're both efficient at canceling potentially damaging noises, while enhancing desired environmental sounds, and, in the case of the Bluetooth-style buds, even relaying audio from cell phones, tablets, and other devices.

What does Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (LE) connectivity mean? It means that the Suppressor BT Earbuds use less battery power and avoid congested channels to minimize interference. They deliver up to 36 hours of total use per charge, keeping outdoorsmen ready for anything the day brings. Users can rely on them for up to five hours of audio streaming, five hours of sound enhancement, or 13.5 hours’ runtime in Standby mode.

Equipped with four microphones (two per earbud), they deliver enhanced audio clarity, helping hunters and industrial workers stay aware of their surroundings and pinpoint the direction of sounds in any environment. Full dynamic range HD speakers provide clear, balanced sound across four selectable frequency modes—Universal, Clear Voice, High Frequency, and Power Boost. They're operated via the Walker’s Link 4.0 app, allowing users to adjust volume, monitor battery levels, and set auto shut-off times directly from their smartphone or smartwatch. MSRP $99.99 - $149.99, depending upon model chosen. WalkersGameEar.com
