Howard Leight Impact Sport Classic Smoke Electronic Earmuffs

There is only one condition where it is okay to use firearms without hearing protection: You are already deaf.

If you have a sense of hearing and would like to preserve it, then we recommend the Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs by Howard Leight. This comfortable and adjustable piece of hearing protection equipment has a noise reduction rating of 22 decibels. That will keep your hearing sharp no matter how many rounds you let loose while training or hunting.

But these earmuffs will also help you detect the things you actually want to hear as well! Their built-in microphones pick up and amplify any noises that are quieter than 82 decibels. You’ll be able to converse with your range pals and listen to when a buck snaps a twig behind you. Once a noise exceeds the 82 decibel threshold, the microphones automatically shut off.

These earmuffs run on two AAA batteries, which are enough to keep its microphones and speakers running for about 350 hours. The earmuffs will automatically turn off after four hours to preserve battery life. The Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs also include a headphone jack so you can listen to your tunes or your scanner, and their slim earcups won’t interfere with the stock of a rifle.
