IMPACT SPORT ELECTRONIC EARMUFFS Reviews & Ratings

HOWARD LEIGHT IMPACT SPORT ELECTRONIC EARMUFFS

The Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs offer compact, lightweight electronic hearing protection allowing you to hear conversations and range commands, while blocking out dangerous noises like gunfire. Internal ultra-fast response electronics amplify ambient sounds to a safe 82 decibels (dB), yet shut down when sounds above 82 dB are detected to let the muff’s passive hearing protection take over. When the earmuffs are in amplification mode, directionally placed stereo microphones even help you hear where the sound is coming from. Built-in AUX input accepts 1/8" (3mm) stereo plug (patch cable included) to connect an MP3 player, radio, or other audio. The Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs feature an automatically shut-off that activates after 4 hours to preserve battery life. Bottom half of the low-profile ear cups angles in sharply to ensure plenty of clearance when shouldering long guns. Cups fold up neatly into the adjustable head band for convenient storage.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

These won't dampen much noise and are very loud compared to more expensive ones as MSA or Peltor. I'm using these for .22 cal.

Not for frequent shooters

These muffs may be ok for the occasional shooter but they do not provide enough hearing protection for regular use. Even with inner ear protection they are only marginal and don't filter loud noises. They're slim enough to get a slightly better cheek weld on most long arms.
