Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for the Decibullz Molded Percussive Filters, I have been using the filters for several range visits and they are very good. I can still hold a conversation but they dampen sounds when rounds are fired, exactly what you would want in a product like this. I have only used them at outdoor shotgun ranges so I cannot comment on their use in an indoor range setting. The fit is excellent, they are extremely comfortable due to the custom fit and are a huge improvement to the active earmuffs I used previously. They do not interfere with mounting my shotgun and therefore do not adversely affect my scores (but also eliminate one of my excuses when I have a poor round). The noise reduction seems to be in line with the stated values, and I can hold a conversation at normal levels while wearing this product. The product seems to live up to it's claims and I'm very happy with my purchase. The only issue I had with this product was the instructions for molding the pictogram instructions are not very clear about what part are supposed to be boiled. It is very clear that the percussive filters need to be removed, but what was not clear is that the filters and the, I'll call it the stem, can be separated and the stem is boiled with the molds and orange triple flange tips. Once I found their video on youTube, the process was much more clear and understandable. I highly advise anyone that purchases these to watch the video before molding, you won't over mold one set of your Thermo Fit Molds beyond use like I ended up doing. Yes, the can be remolded, but if the hole in the middle closes, they're pretty much toast. Luckily, Decibullz includes a bonus pair of Thermo Fit molds with the percussive filter set, so I wasn't dead in the water, but I do wish their instructions were more clear regarding this part. The second issue I had was not with the product at all but with the Add-ons that Amazon suggests when you purchase the Decibullz Percussive Filters. They seem to suggest the carrying case and the Lanyard. First of all, the Decibullz Percussive Filters come with a case (although it isn't readily apparent from the product description on Amazon), so if you purchase one you end up with two, and are out around $10 for the privilege. The second suggestion from Amazon is the Decibullz Lanyard, the issue if you purchase it is that it completely defeats the percussive filter properties and you end up with ear plugs. According to the Decibullz website, they are working on a lanyard specifically for the Percussive Filters, but the suggested one will work, but you won't be able to hear much. If you follow Amazon's suggestion and purchase and install these, you're essentially creating a Decibullz ear plug with no Percussive functionality, at a $50+ premium. So buyer beware on the suggestions from Amazon, sure you can return the items, but since there is nothing wrong with them, you have to pay return shipping. That policy doesn't seem right to me when Amazon is making purchase suggestions that make absolutely no sense for the item you are purchasing, so research those before you add them to your cart. Otherwise I'm very happy with my purchase, I just wish I had watched the video before attempting to mold the Thermo Fit Molds.
