oldypigeonpopper Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) hello, they do look very good close up with an aussie standards label, how do these battery types compare with no battery ones like my peltors, looks like a 1 off sale of 5 packs Edited October 11, 2016 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenlivet Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 If they're genuine fantastic. My Mrs has got a pair (£35) and really likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR1 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Looks like a scam , sent message asking for more details and the ad disappeared overnight. I guess it's a case of ' if it looks too good it probably is ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr gen Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 As the AD has been removed I could not see what the offer was. But I do have a pair of these, and use them regularly for clay shooting, rough shooting , they are great. They reduce the gun shot to a decent safe level while enhancing conversation and animal movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Merkel Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I bought a pair of these 2 years ago and have been very pleased with them, my daughter has just started clay shooting and wanted a pair so l ordered a pair through Ebay from this seller, spookily enough l have had two emails concerning this order. The first from the seller in poor English stating that their Ebay account had been hacked into Ebay have closed their account and would be reopening another account soon, however my order has been received and the goods will be dispatched today. The second email was from Ebay through Ebay's messaging service confirming what the Hong Kong seller has stated so watch this space, probably a scam just have to wait and see Ebay have already stated that they will refund my £11.68 if the goods fail to appear.

TR1 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I noticed another eBay add for the same pairs of Howard Leights for £14+ delivered from China. Similar Ausie spec and seller has score of 11, any bets on another scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savhmr Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Would you folks seriously consider buying a fake pair of ear defenders from China to save a few quid instead of an officially sourced pair? What proof do you have that these are the real deal and provide the level of protection stated? Given that the seller has to make a profit and post them, I can't take this seriously. It has scam written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 My genuine ones packed up in one ear. Took them apart before binning them, and the soldering was shocking! The wires were too rigid, and put strain on the solder joints, which over time broke. I re-soldered them, with decent wire, and no problems so far...

Del T Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Had our genuine ones for about 4 years now, used every weekend with glasses on and either a winter hat or baseball cap. They have never caused any problems. Only changed the batteries once and we have them turned up full blast. Excellent bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 love mine, cracking bit of kit, had it a long time now. even if they are a chinese copy, test them, if they work fine, winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
