Prohear quietly released an updated version of their bluetooth electronic shooting earbuds. Their primary use is hearing protection when shooting firearms. This new version features enhanced sound quality, so that you can also use them as music/media earbuds, addressing a complaint of their original version and upgrading to digital from the analog volume controls.
The buds come in a USB-C charging case that is capable of recharging the earbuds up to 3 times. The buds also come with replacement foam and silicone earpads. They are activated by pressing the button on either earbud for 6 seconds, and pressing both 4 times activates Bluetooth pairing.
Testing them at the range, I found them very comfortable and their small size makes shooting rifles a lot easier for noobs. Strangely, though the earbuds have a 27 NRR, my rifle sounded louder with the earbuds than with my 22 NRR Prohear Machete earmuffs. One theory is that with eabuds, because your ear isn’t covered, sounds get picked up by the cartilage of your ear and transferred into your skull. I don’t know if that’s true but it sounds plausible.
I may just go back to using my old earmuffs. But in any case, these buds are small enough for me to keep as a backup in my range bag.
