The Walker Razor Slim is a great, entry-level active hearing protection option. They are priced around $30 and give you the ability to hear your hunt while keeping your hearing safe. These are definitely a must-have for hunters, especially if you're hunting waterfowl or any other situation with lots of exposure to gun noise. I would say the only con is that they don't give you directional hearing, which can be an issue, but options like TETRA do offer that if someone eventually wants to upgrade.

Instead of a polished casing that might catch the eye of a discerning gobbler, this watch features a black PVD-coated stainless casing as well as anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
