Review of The Howard Leight Impact Sport Earmuffs

Review of The Howard Leight Impact Sport Earmuffs that I got a while back but only got to try them out at the range now.

 

They are neat and tidy and fold up into the head band to make for a small package when not in use. I found them very comfortable to wear without them becoming to tight on my head or over ears. A good slim design so it did not hit off the gun stock. On/Off/Volume switch is a neat thumbwheel design. It also had an input for MP3 player or radio.

 

When turned off and used as an ear defender they work very well in fact I found them better than the standard pair of ear defenders that I would usually wear at keeping out the noise.

 

When turned on I could hear small talk at the far end of the range so they amplified the sound very well. When a shot was fired they did exactly what they were designed to do and shut down the speakers so they acted as just an ear defender. And when I say “when a shot was fired†I was on the next bench from where a 308 with a muzzle break was being used and I was getting all the blast of the report.

 

Total cost to the door was €67. E-mail them for a Coupon code to reduce the shipping costs.

 

I ordered from:
