I got these rechargeable earmuffs from Walker's and put them to the test. Here's my two cents.

FYI, prices and ratings are accurate as of time of writing.
Walker's FireMax - Wireless Rechargeable Earmuffs

Highlight: Design fits them behind your neck which maximizes comfort.
Helpful review: These are by far the best ear protection I've ever used. Voices are clear, and the ear cups are very comfortable, even for extended use.
PROS:
–Say goodbye to disposable batteries.
–USB-C rechargeable.
–Can be used as headphones with aux input.
Trust me when I say that I've tried various ear protection before, and these are one thousand percent the most comfortable I’ve ever used. Not needing to change batteries is a huge plus. Really can’t emphasize that enough. I keep them on a charger but I also carry a portable battery for extra convenience just in case. They definitely surpass other well known brands when it comes to comfort. I also love how my ears stay cool even after prolonged wear.
As electronic ear protection, they have two mics for picking up outside sound and four filters, and I primarily use the clear voice setting, which works best for me. You can also use an optional walkie talkie mic by plugging into the USB port.
A FEW WORDS FROM MY BUDDY, LARRY GLEASON:
I really can’t say enough good things about these. The fit is perfect, the comfort is awesome, and they’re the only headphones I’ve used that have kept my ears cool when I’m in the desert on a deployment. With a little adjustment, they fit really well under a military helmet. I have a small head though, so they might be tight for others. They are more comfortable and provide better hearing clarity than my Razor Walkers.
WHAT MY NEIGHBOR, PETER KENT, IS SAYING:
I shoot indoors weekly and although my previous ear muffs had excellent noise reduction, for the life of me, I couldn't hear conversations. These Walkers work great. They allow me to hear people up to five lanes away, while still protecting my ears, which is exactly what I wanted. The sound suppression is effective, and I just can’t get over how comfortable they are. Though not the cheapest, they’re worth it for the performance and comfort. You won’t regret it, trust me.
