silver fox 1 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi just wondering if anybody is using custom fit guards (cfg) and what you think of them, is there customer service any good? Would you recommend any other brands, i’m thinking about treating myself to a set of digital ones for shot gun and rifle shooting. I’ve had the noise breakers for a few years now and found them very good but they don’t do digital and they probably need upgrading because of changes to my ears fit etc, Any thoughts or feedback would be great regards Sf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Hi, I have the CFG digitalis. I’d say they’re very good and the customer service I received was also very good. My only gripe is no “off function” so have to slide the battery tray out to preserve battery life. (Edit) to say they have since released an updated digital version and may have an off function but I’m not sure. I would consider looking at vario’s, although I have no first hand experience of the product I have a few friends that use them and they all rave about them, the guy that owns/runs the company “Jason” is a decent chap and knows his stuff and is more than happy to help with any queries. They also offer a no quibble return, and the units are upgradable, if I remember correctly it will never cost more to upgrade than if you was to go for top spec at the outset. hope that’s of some use to you 👍🏻 Edited December 17, 2020 by Spr1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver fox 1 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thank you for the reply, i’ll have a look at the vario’s as well I must admit I think it might be handy to have something you can turn off after I finished shooting as I probably would Forget to take the batteries out, I think I will talk to both companies before I make my mind up. Happy Christmas and stay safe Sf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I've just got my cfg digital yesterday, the bloke came to the house on the 25th October I got regular emails as they progressed through the factory so good communications and came tracked delivery I am going to try them out today so will let you know how I get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have a set I used for a couple of weeks but now they sit in the draw and I take the external defenders. I just find the external ones easier to use when you sometimes want to put them in and out and your hands are filthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I ordered a set of Vario's and I'm getting the impressions done next week. With regard to the batteries, I understand that they degrade even when you have switched the plugs off - I think they only last a few weeks. Pretty cheap from Amazon (£12 for 60) so not too much of an issue to swap them out before a shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver fox 1 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the replies, I’m probably going to have to wait for a while until all the lockdown is over as I’m in Kent and just been placed in tier 4 and all the non-essential shops have been closed, not that I’m in any hurry it will give me more time to do some more research and make my mind up which one to go for Edited December 19, 2020 by silver fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Well tried out the cfg digital's on Sunday and have to say I'm very impressed, very comfortable sound like normal, no nasal sound when speaking like when your ears are blocked, not to affected by wind noise either, even on the lowest setting I could hear all the conversation around me, only thing interesting is they cut the sound down rather than cut off like my sportacs so gun noise is louder but not dangerous, so all in all very pleased I went down this route ps I'll have to find a better fitting hat as i didn't realise how well the sportacts kept it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver fox 1 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thanks for reply they sound good ( excuse the pun ) i’m going to wait until early next year now hopefully things will be better then good luck with the search for the new hat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
