[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2867507, member: 104363"] They have to be jammed in pretty tight and are uncomfortable for longer wearing. The have a lanyard. I wrote AXIL about the gun shot problem (leakage) and they responded quickly. "HI Bob Thank you for giving us the opportunity to explain this further. The GS Extreme are compression units, not noise canceling. The difference is how you hear the sound. Noise cancellation shuts out all surrounding sounds, while the GS Extreme allow situational awareness with electronic protection that compresses anything over 85dB for your hearing safety. You will still be able to hear what's going on around you while your ears are protected. The clap test is to test the seal around your ear canal. This means you will have to clap with the device turned off. If it sounds like you are under water, you have a full seal. If not, keep adjusting or try another size until you do. Amanda AXIL Customer Support" So, while hunting or shooting, one should make sure the ear device is securely sealed. One time I got the "ice pick in the ear event" because these became loose after some time. Not sure if others will have my uncomfortable experience or fit up issues. [/QUOTE]
