The raptor is a new hearing enhancement and protection device from Walker's. It uses bone conduction technology to amplify ambient sounds by transmitting sound waves through the bones in the head to the inner ear, rather than through the ear canals. This allows for unparalleled comfort, as nothing covers or inserts into the ear canal. When used purely as an enhancement device, the raptor delivers clear, natural sound quality. However, it can also be paired with foam or custom earplugs to provide hearing protection. In this mode, the raptor uses Walker's legendary sound activated compression (SAC) technology to reduce loud noises while still allowing you to hear important sounds. The combination of SAC and the earplugs' NRR rating provides unmatched hearing protection. The raptor is the perfect choice for anyone who wants comfortable, effective hearing protection that doesn't block out ambient sound. It is ideal for use in a variety of settings, including hunting, shooting, and construction.
