Review: Excellent for Hearing Protection - Hearing protection is one safety item that you don't want to skimp on. On the other hand, we don't want to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars either. Luckily Honeywell makes this professional ear muff for the rest of us. I paid $52 and consider this to be money well spent. Designed for handgun and pistol shooters looking for a high Noise Attenuation Rating. Perfect for indoor range or any other extremely loud shooting environment. These also work outside on the range, or when using lawn equipment. I use these together with my riding tractor and MP3 player. There's nothing like mowing the property with some AC/DC! The Impact Pro amplifies surrounding sounds such as voices, machines and warning signals to safe levels yet it provides good hearing protection. Loud impulse sounds are effectively blocked out and limited to safe levels. The unique stereo microphones (3) allow detection of the direction of ambient sounds, enhancing communication abilities and awareness of surroundings. This earmuff is provided with electrical audio jack input for connection with MP3 players, cell phones and radio scanners (hint hint NASCAR fans!) The battery is easily changed by pushing on the sides of the battery lid. Alkaline batteries are recommended, NOT rechargeables. Once fitted on your head, then turned on you can immediately notice the difference in the ambient sounds. I was 'snapping' my fingers and adjusting the volume. At the lowest setting I could barely hear the snaps, but when increased it was like I didn't have any muffs on at all. My voice was amplified as well. On the range I was able to talk normally and not scream at my partner. Howard Leight originally was a one-man operation 30 years ago specializing in hearing protection. At one point he was bought by Sperian, now owned by Honeywell. Howard is also the founder of the HearForever foundation. I would gladly pay more for a case. Honeywell offers cases for other muffs, but not these.
Review: The best option available - With an NRR (noise reduction rating) of 30, these have the ability to successfully mitigate very loud blasts from high powered rifles and handguns. I use it for my AR-15. I also bought the low profile Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff (B001T7QJ9O) thinking I would use it for rifles, and the Impact Pro for handguns. My original theory was that the bulk of the Impact Pro would prevent a good cheek weld on a rifle. Howover the Impact Sport only has an NRR of 22, which provides less protection than NRR 30, and I've been able to obtain a good cheek weld even with the Impact Pro. So I wind up using the Impact Pro almost all of the time regardless of the gun type. Both models work by passively blocking noise. They are NOT noise reduction headsets, which actively generate negative or inverse sound waves. These mitigate sound exactly like any other shooting earmuff - by blocking the noise with baffling materials. Where they differ is they have two microphones, and two speakers (one for each ear). With a volume control, they amplify all sounds of interest (voices at the range, or animals moving while hunting). But since they limit the maximum amplitude, sounds are reproduced at reasonable not damaging volumes. You of course can control the volume levels. I still double up with ear plugs, but then set the volume high enough to just overcome those blocks. As an entire system, it works very well. Two more comments: First, the earmuffs are stereo, i.e. each mic in each ear faithfully reproduces the sound in just that ear. This provides for directional hearing, i.e. you can tell if the noise is coming from the left or the right. And second, I find it helpful to orient the mics facing forward when hunting (because that's where you're looking) and to the rear when at the range (because that's where the Range Safety Officer instructions would come from). These are great earmuffs. I know the Impact Sport is a bigger seller, but I think these provide the best protection for your ears and work equally well. My recommendations are to go with the Impact Pro.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: To put it simply, is a gunshot louder with the mic turned up to hear range commands than with it off?**
A: NO. I think some are having trouble understanding the concept.  The sound will be reduced by the same amount with the unit turned on or off.  That's passive unlike active like noise-cancelling muffs like Bose. When turned on, it will amplify sound below 82db. (A busy street is more than 82db) Anything below 82db, like a range instructor's commands, will be amplified and you can turn the volume all the way up and leave it their.  When a sound is above the cutoff of 82db, like a gunshot, the mics will shut off and go back into passive mode until the sound drops below the cutoff, and then go back to amplified mode.  The mics will never amplify a sound greater than the cutoff of 82db.  Hope this helps.

**Q: what's the difference btwn these and the Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs ?**
A: The main differences are Size and Noise Reduction.The Sport model has a noise reduction rating of 22dbThe PRO model has a Noise reduction rating of 30dbBecause of extra noise reduction provided by the PRO version, they have a much larger profile.The larger size COULD be in the way if your using them with a rifle, if you use a handgun, the size should not be an issue.In my personal opinion if the larger "bulk" is not an issue then go for the maximum protection you can get!Your hearing will thank you!

**Q: How well do the earcups seal while worn over shooting glasses?**
A: I just did my first range shooting today. I was able to borrow a pair of these cups. I wear glasses. I had absolutely NO problems with the seal letting in extraneous noise. Even with 30dB of reduction, the noise is still quite loud, but not enough that your ears will be damaged, or even be ringing, when your shooting day ends. I just put in my order for a pair of them. Highly recommended!

**Q: How do these compare to the 3M Peltor Tactical Sport Hearing Protector for around $100?  Would really appreciate pros and cons between them.**
A: The tactical sports cost me $150 when I got and after 2 years stopped working. Peltor wanted over $100 to fix them. These cost less and still work after 2 years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great at the range
*by J***R on August 27, 2018*

I will say that when I got these I was hopeful that the sound quality of the amplified sound and the noise reduction would be tolerable. At the very least the noise reduction would be good enough not to be a waste of my money or time. My results with these exceeded my expectations. The noise reduction was the expected 30 DB as I did not notice any difference between these and my previous usage of in ear 30 DB ear plugs. But the sound amplification quality was very good and clear of all conversations. I could hear cars on the dirt road at the gun range from 40 feet away. Conversations were made way easier to have with these. Going to buy another pair for my wife and already recommending these to my buddies. Really good product. The cons: Big and bulky so it was awkward to put on but they were very comfortable for the time I wore them (3 hours) The pros: Inexpensive Good sound amplification quality Good noise reduction Sounds of gunfire were never amplified
