I have the Walkers game ear ear muff style and the in ear (ear bud style).. After using the ear muff type I have never used the ear buds. I don't like to sit in the woods with the power turned on the ear muffs the entire hunt. I put them on my head and if I see a deer I flip them on and slide them down. I wouldn't want to sit out there and "listen" to the ear buds all day and they would probably be a pain to try to put in quickly, especially with gloves on.
