Source: walkersgameear.com (verified 2026-08-11) · corroborated by opticsplanet.com. Walker's own XCEL 500BT page confirms NRR 26, Bluetooth streaming/calls, four listening modes (Universal, Speech Clarity, High Frequency, Power Boost), next-gen variable Dynamic Sound Suppression, and 2/4/6-hr programmable auto-shutoff; 2x AAA battery power confirmed on Amazon. No fixed-ms compression figure or cushion-material spec is published for this model, so those fields are null rather than assumed from the (foldable, gel-cushioned) Razor Slim. This is a full-size, non-folding digital muff, distinct from the slim/folding Razor series, so foldable design is recorded as false. Weight taken from Walmart listing (2 lb package weight = 32 oz).
