Axil Xcor earbuds

I've decided to give some earbuds a try. I like the looks and features of these. Anyone here using them? Amazon reviews are mixed, more good then bad. Watched several videos and nearly 100% positive. What say you?

The set I have is a bit slow to respond while multiple guns are going off and they don't fit my ear particularly well, fwiw. They might work for practice work while it's just me or not multiple guns being fired at once, with a little better seal in my ear. As is, I don't rely on them alone while shooting a match but I do like them for walking around during other relays being fired, behind the firing line. YMMV but that's my 2 cents so far.

Also, not sure of the model but mine were about $100 for a set a couple of years ago. If different models, may well be better or worse results, fwiw.

They are a different model. Those might be great.. or not.

Thanks, I think I’m going to give them a try.

Worst case, you're out a few bucks and use them like I do mine...under muffs or alone when I'm at a match talking with others, etc. Keep us posted on those. Hate to spend the money but if they are better than mine, they may be worth it, even if I have to wear muffs too, which is probably best anyway. Big muffs just get hot and uncomfortable in summer time. An electronic plug alone would be great.

I’m only considering these because I need good protection and regular muffs interfere with my stock.

I hope I'm wrong but I think any plug alone to be enough is being pretty optimistic but I'd love it too.

Thanks for your contribution. I actually agree with that, but I’m to the point that I need to do something. I’m 80 and want to continue shooting but this problem keeps me from doing as good as I think I can. I’m only shooting at an indoor 100yd range with AR’s and muzzle breaks right next to me.

I'm only shooting .22 rimfire indoors benchrest. Usually 4 shooters in each detail.
Been wearing 3M Class 5 muffs for years, then tried the silicon ear plugs, then foam plugs under the muffs.
Last week I tried some 31Db reduction foam plugs on their own (but luckily took my muffs out to the bench with me).
Took only 3 shots (1 of mine, and 2 from fellow shooters) and the muffs were back on.
For serious noise happening around you I think plugs and muffs together are not too much OTT.
