Good but not great
These are most suited to people that don’t need to use them often, but want some tech. I’ve got similar looking Walkers, and these work close to 80% as well. There is a difference in audio quality, and latency it’s not bad or dangerous, but noticeable in comparison.The eye protection is surprisingly nice, and full of features. I was VERY surprised to find the corrective lens holder included. I’ve never seen that offered as a bonus. I may just price out some lenses to make use of it.

Good shooting glasses but the ear muffs are uncomfortable and I'm not sure how well they protect
Notice: This product was received at no charge as part of the Amazon Vine program but this is an unbiased review.We’ll start with the good first. The shooting glasses I like a lot. The glasses come with interchangeable lenses. The lenses are moderate size, enough to give your eyes adequate coverage. It’s got a sturdy nylon plastic frame in a dark color, and it’s got soft nose pads and rubberized pads on the temple stem. They fit well, they are comfortable, and they stay securely in place. For me, the temple area was the right pressure as not to press too hard above the ears.You’ve got the choice of three lenses, clear, dark, and yellow, you just need to pick your preference. The lenses have UV400 protection with an anti-fog coating. Many shooters like the yellow, so that’s got you covered. The fairly dark lens works fine like sun glasses.Included with the glasses and the three sets of lenses are a padded carrying case, a corrective lens frame that goes under the shooting glasses, and soft carrying bag and a cleaning cloth. It’s a nice pair of glasses for shooting or just wearing.The ear protection has some issues. They have embedded microphones in the ear pieces for hunting or tactical situations. The microphones are under soft microphone covers on the ear cups, and they recommend you wear the ear muffs so the microphones point forward. The microphones are powered with two AAA batteries (not included). The battery compartment is on the left side, and the volume control and on/off dial are on the right ear. You’ll see in the Amazon listing some pictures of users wearing the ear muffs with the microphones pointed backwards, I guess if you’re on the shooting range and you need to hear the shooting range safety officer that will work.The microphones put the ambient sound right in your ears. This is just what you need if you’re hunting and you need to hear the game rustling around in the brush. The sound’s not great in quality, and it has an echo kind of sound, but it does give you situational awareness. They also have a headphone jack so you can listen to your phone, or some music, or you can hear if you’re on a walkie talkie or a shortwave radio. The sound is pretty mediocre, so these will never replace your good headphones.The listing information suggests these have a noise cancelling capability, but I’m not sure how well it works. I’ve not taken these to the shooting range, but I tried to see if they work for noise cancelling using power equipment. That’s a big no. With the microphones on, the full sound of the power tool comes right into your ears. So, these are not useful for noise cancellation with power equipment. If you turn the microphones off, then they do work as hearing protection, but that brings us to the next issue.The ear muffs are uncomfortable for me. You want a good snug fit so the ear cups are firmly over your ears, but the spring in the headband and the wires holding the ear cups are too tight, and the ear cushions are too stiff for my taste. They say in the listing that the ear cups are spacious, but that’s not the case for me. They’re a little on the small side. And lastly, they need better cushioning on the head band.And another thing. The enclosed manual is in Polish. There was no English version in my package. To figure out how to use the ear muffs, I had to scan the text and put it through the Google translator. That worked okay.All in all, I like the glasses, but it looks like noise cancellation is for shooting only with the microphones allowing ambient noise to be heard, but I'm not sure how well it works. We'll need another reviewer who can make it over to the shooting range to give us a review how well they work there. However, they’re not useful for other loud environments. So you’ll not get the same protection like you’d get with other kinds of noise cancelling hearing protection headphones.

Good value
For the price, this is a good set. Both items work well. Glasses are clear and distortion free. Ear pro fits my 7 & 5/8ths head well, muffles shot sounds, and still lets me hear my mates and the RO. Basically they do what they are supposed to do at a good price. I just wish the headset was rechargeable instead of taking regular batteries. But again, for the price, that's fine.

Amplified sounds don't sound natural
Overall this set is pretty good. The glasses come with different lenses so you can swap out for indoor and outdoor. They come with a case similar to those that you get when you buy sunglasses at those stores in the mall.The headset works pretty well to reduce sounds but the speakers inside aren't the best. They work well for being able to talk to others while at the range without shouting but I wouldn't use the auxiliary cable to play music through them.
