Overview
The Walker's XCEL 500BT sits between the budget Razor Slim and professional comms headsets, offering Bluetooth and four selectable listening modes that let you tune the sound profile to your environment.
Universal mode works for general use. Power Boost amplifies all ambient sound for maximum situational awareness. High Frequency mode emphasizes sharper sounds, while Speech Clarity mode prioritizes voice frequencies for clearer range commands.
Bluetooth pairs with your phone for calls and music, streaming directly into the ear cups. The NRR 26 rating is strong for an electronic muff, and the XCEL competes directly with the Peltor 500 by trading 3M's Clear Voice Tracking for more granular listening mode control.
