Impact Sport Foldable Ear Defender

I purchased these electronic ear-muffs for target shooting. I am very new to the sport and I wanted to make certain I will be able to listen to the instructor's advice and any safety instructions without having to take the ear-muffs off (thus risking having my ears unprotected when someone else would fire). I have used it once so far and it works very well. I am able to amplify my surrounding sounds and at the same time, block any loud sounds (such as gunfire). The ear-muffs seat comfortably on my head and ears and the fact that you can control them using one button only makes them very user friendly. I would recommend this product to people that are interested in blocking loud souns but still maintain an excellent awareness of their surrounding environment.

I have used Peltor slim passive ear defenders for clay shooting for many years but decided to try an electronic set. These make it easier to hear one's fellow competitors speaking but also to hear the scorer calling a kill or a miss. The Impact Sport headset is slim, light and just as comfortable to wear as my old passive set. Ordinary noises such as speech or birdsong are transmitted clearly but the sound of gunfire is muffled at least as effectively as my old ones. The volume control is easy to use and I cannot think why one would want individual control for each ear unless perhaps one's hearing had already been damaged in one ear. There is some white noise when the volume control is turned up very high but as I found the ideal setting was about one third of the maximum, this is not likely to be a problem. The order was delivered within two days of ordering. At £61.99 post free these are very competitively priced and very effective.

Couldn’t be happier with these. Great sound blocking, awesome clarity of speech. Got a pair for the girlfriend too.

Very good for the reduced price, although I don't think I would be as happy if I had paid in full. My biggest issue is the fit/sizing. Whilst I cannot blame that entirely on the product as we are all indeed very different I have a couple of issues. Due to the wires from each muff interfering with the head strap I am finding that they do not sit flush on the head, rather they are at a slight angle and this obviously reduces their effectiveness. The other down side, although low profile, they seem to intefer with the stock when held up to the cheek. However, both of the above can be put down to me, the individual, as I am comparatively small. I do have a small head and find these are adjusuted to the smallest setting to fit me. That said I do think it is the root of my problem so to mark the product down for that would be unfair. To put this in perspective I ride motorcycles using a M to MS size crash helmet. Functionally these work great for shooting, build quiality is good but the battery cover can sometimes be finicky to remove. Sounds can easily be heard, even amplified if required with the harmful levels, such as gun fire, are taken out nicely.

These are fantastic very happy after having a bad experience with a pair of 3M Peltor Tactical 6S. Prior to purchasing the Howard Leights I purchased a pair of 3M Peltor Tactical 6S, I was Severely disappointed! They were incredibly hard to change the batteries, took 4xAAA, had two on off switches and volume controls and had faulty speakers!! I'm not even sure if Peltor even has a QA department as they were clearly faulty, if anyone had actually bothered to test them they would have known AND they were almost £30 more than the Howard Leights! for that premium price and the well known brand I expected a higher quality, how wrong I was. Compared the the Peltor Tacical 6s The Impact Sport by Howard Leight are fantastic! they are more comfortable, feel sturdier only take 2xAAA are very easy to change the batteries only have one power/volume dial and have very clear sound you can even hear people talking in the distance you couldn't hear with your own hearing. Overall if your into shooting and are on a budget you will not be disappointed with the Howard Leights! Also if they are good enough for Eric from Moss Pawn & Gun and IV8888 YouTube channel they are good enough for me.

I've been using these earmuffs for about 6 months at the shooting range and they work splendidly for their rather low price. Two AAA batteries will power these earmuffs for many outings at the range (but carry spare batteries with you just in case). Replacing batteries is extremely easy. The sound isn't spectacular (don't expect Hi-Fi sound from these), but the sound amplification when you turn the volume up is amazing: I can hear bees and flies buzzing the nearby fields as if they were right at my ear. Loud noise detection (and muffling) could be better/faster, but they manage to do the trick and muffle shots relatively well, although I tend to lower the volume all the way down when at a very busy range (or at a target competition). They are very light to wear and comfortable even for several hours, although the rubber pads that don't absorb any moisture do cause some extra sweating in the summer. I would recommend wiping them with baby wipes after each (sweaty) use, as the rubber pads will stick together when you fold them and leave them a couple days. They aren't ideal for people with smaller heads (my wife has a couple centimeters of room between the top of her head and the headband). For me they are a perfect fit. They fold neatly into a very compact package, leaving more room in your range bag for other gear. Highly recommended (considering the price you can get them for - under 40 GBP). Obviously, more expensive active earmuffs will be better, but at this price range, Impact Sport are unbeatable - definitely the best bang for the buck.

Although I have not used these in the field, I have tried them using my stereo and they reduce ambient noise and then amplify sound effectively using the integral roller adjuster. They are adjustable and comfortable to wear and are a slimmer in design than others that I looked at. I sometimes shoot in a cap and at other times wear a trilby and experiments show that the headphones fit over the cap and under the trilby nicely, so meet that requirement. My shooting glasses arms fit under the headphones comfortably and are held in place firmly by them. All in all I think these are just what I wanted and hope that they perform as well in the field as they do in my lounge, if not I will come back and modify this review. Having shot with these headphones I can now add that I am very pleased, conversation is easy with them on but the sound of the shot much reduced - ideal. They need to be set at the right level or you will get a little feedback, but no more than I would expect.

These are the first ear defenders I have purchased for clay pigeon shooting. Thay fit really well (I have a large head!) and snug over my ears (my ears are smallish however). They work as described, keeping loud sounds to a minimum and increasing the volume of quiet sounds. I really can hear people approaching me on the path from behind, great for situational awareness. Wearing eye protection with them can be a bit tricky, my glasses have a soft frame on the bit that goes behind your ears and the headset actually sits on top of that part of the frame. I think with a rigid frame this could be uncomfortable. The slim design means that I haven't had any stock bump when firing a shotgun. The only negative is if you turn them up as loud as they go, the sound becomes a bit distorted. For around £35 I think these are well worth it for entry level electronic ear defenders.

Orijinal,uygun fiyat.

Slimmade, snygga, bra ljud och sitter skönt över öronen. Helnöjd!

Even though I still double up on ear pro these have been pretty great and have changed my range experience since I can hear well and still have noise cancelation. Fits really well but someone recommended I get the gel pads instead of the original which I did right away so I can’t comment on the comfort of the original pads but with the gel pads it is super comfortable.

Très bon produit utilisé sur stand de tir. Mon premier casque actif et une belle satisfaction. J'avais un peu peur de la qualité de fabrication à ce prix la mais après réception je suis satisfait, c'est incroyable on chuchote d'un box à l'autre et on s'entend vraiment bien. Mais l'essentiel étant le blocage des bruits sourd et percutants et il fait le job, tout du moins me concernant car certains rajoutent des bouchons à l'usage. Fonctionne avec deux piles fournies, un cable jack3.5 mâle-mâle est fourni pour connecter une radio ou un smartphone. La mousse permet de porter des lunettes de protection sans problèmes de gènes compressive moi je porte des Bollé et cela passe crème! Le serre-tête en cuir est ni trop grand ni trop petit, large et plat permet le port d'une casquette et se règle en hauteur. Je recommande.

Alors la, je suis fan. Oui mais pourquoi jeune homme à la dérive?! Me direz vous. Et bien voila : Ses points forts : La qualité sonore est TOP, c'est dingue mais je me suis même amusé à le porter à la maison tellement il est sympa. Il augmente vraiment les sons environnants de façon agréable. D’ailleurs, pour la petite histoire, j'ai vu se casque sur la tête d'un de mes collègues tireur avant de l'acheter. Cette personne est très dure de la feuille, mais lorsqu'elle à mis ce casque MIRACLE, il entendait parfaitement. J'ai tiré plein de calibres avec, du calibre 12,de l'otan (5,56x45mm),.44,.308.9mm et 22 lr. Et ben ca marche au TOP avec tous ces calibres. Donc je l’enleve même pas de toute ma séances et mes oreilles sont bien protégée ! Il se plie pour se ranger et faciliter son transport. Il est robuste ! Il est très confortable ( ATTENTION voir les points faibles après il y a un détail). Il se règle parfaitement à votre taille de tête. Il est léger. Points faibles : Comme je vous le disait, il est très confortable. Par contre si vos branches de lunettes sont épaisse, il faut bien les placer. Vu que la mousse du casque est plutôt fine, il y a une perte d’étanchéité sonore... Le mode d'emploi est pas hyper clair, mais franchement on s'en sort vite. Vous avez juste à faire rouler la molette noire dans un sens pour l'allumer et régler le volume. Tournée à fond le casque s'éteindra. Très bon rapport qualité prix, et un achat qui n'a rien du gadget sur un stand. Prenez soin de vos petites noreilles !! Bonne séance de tir ! PS : Dommage qu'ils ne fassent pas le même pour filtrer le bruit des voisins n'est ce pas ;-) Si mon commentaire vous a aidé, j'effacerai vos péchés si vous cliquez sur UTILE !
