Tetra CustomShield Review | Hearing Protection For Hunters

Today I review the Tetra CustomShield Multi-Pursuit hunting hearing protection with bluetooth. This may be the single greatest hearing protection option on the market for hunters going after waterfowl, turkeys, doves, pheasants, deer, etc. These inside the ear buds are custom fit to your ears and are so comfortable. They enable you to hear everything around you while instantly protecting you from gunshot noise and they amplify the sounds of the animals you are hunting.

This electronic hearing technology is the greatest thing out there. I think it beats every competitor I am thus far aware of like: Walkers, ISOtunes, Howard Leight, 3m, Caldwell, Zohan, Peltor, Cabelas, and more. I have hunted with them through a couple seasons already and am so happy I upgraded from the Tetra AlphaShields to these.

I am one of those hunters who has serious hearing loss. I rarely used hearing protection in the service and until my early 40's didn't regularly use hearing protection when shooting my shotgun. I wear hearing aids to have closer to normal hearing, hear conversations etc. I have tried many types of hunting hearing protectors. Had a pair of custom molded protectors about 25 years ago(i am now 70) . They worked ok for a few years but technology has come a long, long way.Lost one eventually. Mostly i have used Pro Ears gold or Walker razor earmuffs. Walker's are less money but have slightly less protection 33 vs 36 with Pro ears gold. I also find that i have better sound location ability with the Pro gold than i do i Walkers.I hunt waterfowl at least 2 x/week oct-Jan here in oregon so having the best protection for my damaged hearing is a priority. I will check into the Tetras. Thanks for the video( and the Shotshell comparison videos!)

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thank you for sharing sir!

[@ericmandragona4635]

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a try.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Sure, let me know if you have any trouble. It's not my site so I can't see if it works or not, but I have a contact at the company I could ask.

[@Off-target-xy6bx]

When I was young nobody ever thought about hearing protection. I wish we was smarter back then. My hearing has been damaged and the ringing in my ears is nothing you want to live with. My recommendation is use something. If you can’t afford anything else use the earplugs. The kind that can be on you at all times.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thank you for sharing!

[@joezarate3005]

Same Same 😢 the ringing never stops

[@chriscusty9404]

Love mine! I have the custom shield 90 in sporting clays model and double up for waterfowl. Expensive most def! But so worth it

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Awesome, thanks!

[@dennisvandergriff7757]

Once again,you are top shelf! I thank you.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thank you!

[@kyoutdoors131]

Best part is you can use HSA to purchase hearing protection from Tetra!

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

True story!

[@chadamos7297]

Thanks for the review George. I bought the entry level ones last year for waterfowl. They worked as described. I have a terrible ringing in my ears already, but these help further damage. My only complaint is I can’t really hear my goose call. I may upgrade. Not sure you can complain about the price if it prevents hearing loss and early onset dimentia from constant ringing in the ears. Just my two cents.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thank you so much! I can hear my calls very well, do you have the 60 or 90 level?

[@chadamos7297]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide I have the 60’s. I can barely hear gun shots, but can have normal conversations with them, can hear sounds very well. It’s just the goose call that gives me trouble.

[@bent5434]

Good video. Just a thought- you could have mentioned podcast episode 259 for knowing when to upgrade hearing protection. It would help you get more cross platform views

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

You are correct. But I record some of these so far in advance that it's hard to keep track of what releases when. I moved the release date on this one multiple times.

[@bent5434]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide then to the comments/ description it is

[@razacknasir6167]

Please we want you to to 28 inch bereal and 18 inch bereal perring test.. use same chok . It's seems like the shot bereal it's performed better than 28 inch bereal

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

So you're saying do a pattern test with different barrel lengths?

[@razacknasir6167]

Yes

[@jeffbarris8172]

The foam ones are better than nothing, I use the rubber ones with a baffle in them that blots out loud noises yet let's you hear the humt they cost 30bucks , as long as your using something once you lose it you can't get it back, god bless you and go get them in the marsh.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Totally agree. Thank you sir!

[@Laughinghawg]

George, I want'm, Im pretty sure I need'm (I'm getting to be older than dirt) but @ $2500 - $3500 they are waaay more than the A400 I bought. Even the Multi-Pursuit AlphaShield at $1,599 are very pricey.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

They start at 700. And there are other cheaper options on the market. Just make sure you use something!

[@desmurphy1431]

Do you think these are better than the walker silencer 2.0 ,walker disruptor and axil acor ones?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Oh absolutely. It's no comparison. The cheaper ones can help you get into something faster, which is fine, helpful even. But as soon as I started using the cheaper ones, it multiplied my motivation to get Tetras.

[@bobbystevens4087]

Thanks for the great review. I don't know why the price needs to be a secret. Also wondering if they will work with your insurance company ?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

No idea on the insurance, but it's worth asking. Prices and product specs change so often that I stopped saying them in most reviews. I know this video will be live for years, and the prices could change before I even published it. Comparing it to the cost of a shotgun is the best analogy I can find because there are different levels of each and those prices fluctuate too.

[@Snailz5]

I just can’t justify every spending this much on hearing protection. The cheapest thing they sell is $750. It’s as much as the whole rest of your setup. The multipursuit custom shield is $2500 !!! That’s more than you’d need for every piece of equipment for hunting deer (archery and rifle and muzzleloader), Turkey, waterfowl, upland birds, and small game. I can only see these being worth it for old hunters who’ve ruined their hearing with years of hunting without ear pro or for the rich hunter. These are not for regular new hunters to whom this channel typically caters. It would be a lot more useful to try all different sorts of ear pro people can actually afford and let people know which options are a good choice. I’m sure not all muffs are created equal and some solutions punch above their price point. I get you sprung for these and hit it off with the company, but pushing these while not offering a good analysis of different options that you can get for $100 or less is a glaring oversight of this channel. Sorry George, but I just can’t get on board whenever you bring Tetra up. Once they’re around for another decade and they’ll give me a 10 year warranty that I can trust will be honored (because I feel the company will still be around) then maybe I’d consider it. Right now, I can’t trust they won’t get bought out by a big company that wants their tech and will leave me up a creek if I need something replaced in 4 years.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Hey, I totally understand. I run a mossberg so I can use these, else I'd probably use a Benneli. To each his own. Use the muffs if they work good for you and don't look back. As long as you are doing something to protect your ears, I'm thrilled. I also appreciate the feedback.

[@Snailz5]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide it would be nice to do a comparison of different cheap hearing protection options that have pass through. Give all the caveats that nothing compares to Tetra, but it would be nice to know how good some of the muffs or buds work and what’s worth spending money on. Having the context of what the mountain top feels like would be valuable when comparing things. Not that anyone should ever do this, but if you order things on Amazon starting around late October early November, you get until January 31 to return things. That could make something like testing a dozen ear pro devices against each other pretty easy and free minus the time you put into testing and returning. But obviously that would be taking advantage of the policies of a mega corporation that underpays and doesn’t respect the basic human rights of its employees and also pays less than 10% of the taxes they should, and nobody would want to do that in the name of a little consumer-focused science =)

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

@Snailz5 haha, there are some guys that have done just that with the different muffs on the market. I want to get a set actually just to keep in the car for range days ir clay shoots. The Tetra's are better but I am not going to just leave those in the car! I'd like to test more in ear options like you said, but hearing protection videos seem to be my least viewed category, so I'm not sure it's worth wild to put that much effort into doubling down in that area. I have and use the Tetra's so doing a review is easy. But to test and review half a dozen other devices is a ton of work.

[@nathankimbro2639]

I've run Sordin Supreme's and now Swatcom's for almost 20 years. While these may be fine for hunting I wonder how they'd do on a firing line with lots of other short barrel weapons going bang. I've never found in ear protection enough protection around automatic weapons fire or high volumes of fire with multiple other shooters nearby.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

I use the Tetra's for sporting clays all the time, sometimes standing just a few feet from the muzzle of other shooters and they work great. For automatic rifle or handgun fire indoors or a semi enclosed pavilion, I don't think I own any one thing that provides enough protection for my taste. I would pair plugs with muffs for that.

[@johndoe5247]

Do they allow you to tell the DIRECTION the sound is coming from, such as for hunting ?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Yes, and very well. Almost as good as the naked ear.

[@raybobkowalski2154]

How much do these cost ??

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

As much as a shotgun, and they range in price just like shotguns do, depending on the make.

[@ericmandragona4635]

I tried applying the code, but it is not valid. Do you have another code to use?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

It just worked for me. You apply at check out. If you just click this link it should auto apply at check out, let me know if it doesn't work tetrahearing.com/discount/NHG2310

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Also, maybe try it in another browser if that doesn't work. I just tested in 2 browsers and both ways worked.

[@humansustainability]

interesting. a little pricy.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

They are pricy. But worth it in my opinion. But definitely not an impulse buy!

[@toddlish1892]

Over 1000.00 No way!

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Look up comparable hearing aids. I recently went down that road some with someone. $4000 per ear with similar technology. Out of pocket cost. You can get entry level Tetras for about $700. If you can't use these, use something else. Else you'll pay alot more in the long run.

[@gabrielpaiu4733]

Can we ask the turkeys to call at a lower and safe level? You are too noisy and full of nonsense on some ideas you share here. (Not all)

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

It's us calling too loud, not the turkeys. A box call can often get up above levels safe to the person holding it.

[@gabrielpaiu4733]

So... why all this long presentation? Why? Good will for us? If you like it so much you can buy 6 pairs and wear it for how long you want. You also could just let us know briefly about some new shooting protection. This is sponsored!!!1000%

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

I have yet to do a sponsored review. Summer is the best time to post review videos because views are down for everything and people search for them and they rack up views all fall and winter. I have another review coming this weekend and a few more before summer ends.
