Do AXIL GS Extreme earbuds provide adequate protection for very loud firearms?

While effective for many firearms, the AXIL GS Extreme may not offer sufficient protection for extremely loud calibers like .50 BMG or heavily ported .50 AE Desert Eagles. The reviewer experienced ear ringing after shooting a .50 BMG and noted recoil could dislodge the earbuds.

The hearing enhancement feature can make the user's own voice sound distorted or muddy, especially at higher volumes. Adjusting the enhancement volume down can improve clarity when speaking, but the sensitivity is a notable characteristic.
