Hearing protection is always on. When it says sound on its the pass through sound, you can hear people talking but still cancel out loud noise. So, on or off, they still work as hearing protection. Even with a dead battery.

I agree with you 100% it should default out of the case to hearing protection That's the reason I purchased them. I'm 70 years old I'd like to have what hearing that I've got left thanks for your honest review.

People are confusing hearing enhancement with hearing protection...they are NOT the same. They DO default to hearing protection...they do NOT default to hearing enhancement. The electronics are completely unnecessary for hearing protection. When the battery is drained and they power down, you STILL have hearing protection...you just don't have hearing enhancement or bluetooth anymore.

I bought a set without blue tooth and wore them for ten days at the national matches a couple weeks ago. they cause ear pain after about 2 hours of continued use. the small foam inserts were too small and the medium caused pain. I even used ear plug lube, not much better. The Domes felt better but they don't reduce noise as much and are not recommended for shoot, as per instructions.

From what I understand is that in the video when you are referring to "Hearing protection mode" what you're actually talking about is the Hearing Enhancement mode. There is no "Hearing protection mode" The same way that Electronic Walker Razors or Impact Sports don't have a "Hearing protection mode". The "Hearing protection mode" is just when they are over your ears, or in the case of the XCOR, in your ears. What you refer to as the "Hearing protection mode" is actually the Hearing Enhancement mode, it just activates the microphones on the earbuds allowing sounds of a safe level to pass through and be amplified while it also is auto gating and not amplifying any sounds louder than whatever the set DB limit is.

BUYER BEWARE! I purchased these back in October both for shooting and gym use. I've had to get 2 replacement pairs of the XCOR due to the bluetooth only working on one ear bud only after a short period of time. I've yet to take them shooting so I cannot speak on their efficiency but what I can speak on is the quality of the earbuds in general. After a couple phone calls with their awesome customer service we've concluded that the problem was overcharging and that I should only use the USB-C with a standard wall block charger. I was using my desktop computer to charge them and would leave them plugged in for days on end. They've suggested that I only use the wall plug + USB-C and to not use any other means of charging including car/truck chargers. I'm a bit disappointed to hear about the 308 being a bit loud for them seeing as that's all I shoot atm, will have to try this out myself. Other than this minor hiccup they're awesome.

I noticed that too but due to the activity itself and the cargo I do not see a way they can correct that (maybe crossing the rifles in the opposite direction so they point to the floor but not sure if that'd work) maybe just keeping them at the end line of any obstacle that compromises carry and pick them back right there for whatever shooting drill is next.

Just received these today. They are horrible. Can barely hear incoming call notifications including ringtone. Hearing enhancement only enhances static noise. Very uncomfortable. Didn’t take to the range because I sent a refund email to Axil 4 hours after receiving them. $40 value at best. I appreciate the concept, but the quality isn’t there. Way too much money for what you actually get. I never give reviews good or bad, but this was warranted. Don’t waste your time or money.
