Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor MT15H7F SV Tactical Pro Hearing ProtectorCustomer Review: Defective out of the box Summary: 1 Stars
Shipping was prompt and I received it the 4th day. The product quality was evident with one problem. The electronics were faulty. After trying the batteries provided with no results, I inserted a new set.
One thing I want to mention, is that the battery compartment had conflicting information. On the muffs, it showed in which way to insert the batteries, on the compartment door, it showed the opposite way.
I called the customer service number for Peltor and left a message. They called me back within an hour. She had me try a few things, and the results were that the outside of the muff opposite the batteries became very hot to the touch (like in microwave hot). I'm guessing electrical short and I'm glad I didn't have them on my head.
Tech support stated that they would contact their electrical experts, and would get back to me in the morning (it was after 4:00 EST)
The next day (Friday) I never received a call back, and Saturday I packaged them up and returned them. Still waiting for my credit 4 days after shipping them back.
I was recommended to buy Peltor Tactical 7S but I had found this model which had more features that was on sale.
It could be just a bad example of a good company. The overall quality and workmanship of the headset was quite obvious of the quality materials, fit and finish. These were not a cheap knock-off of a better product, they were the better product.
I understand that sometimes you get shipped a defective product. What I was unhappy about was not getting called back or contracted through my email. I was also not happy that the did not offer to ship me another set asap while I sent this defective set back.
Peltor seems to be a well made and quality product, but maybe they are suffering from the bad economy just like the rest of us, and some of it due to my consistent bad luck when dealing with retailers of any type.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but I had to run down to my local gun shop and buy a pair of cheap Radians about half the price. They were half the quality too and could not come close to the Peltor set I almost had.
Had I not been in such a hurry, I would have gave Peltor another chance. The quality and feel of the product was that good.
I went with the Radians Pro-Amp series and are quite happy with my choice
