Product works as described. Comfortable to wear at the range, filters out loud noises but I am still able to hear RO commands. Very pleased with this product. I have purchased a number of Howard Leight products in the past and have been very satisfied with the performance of all of them. The performance of earlier Howard Leight products moved me to select these electronic hearing protectors.

These are not outstanding ear muffs, but considering the best cost multiples of hundreds of $, they work ok. I have owned Peltor in the past, and Peltor is much better, but my expensive Peltor quit working with little use, i decided not to spend big money again on a Peltor. At this price point, if these fail before they should i will not feel as though i wasted my money.

I previously bought the Howard Leight Sport model and wore soft earplugs with it. After several minutes the muffs begin to pinch my ears. So I ordered the Pro model because I was told it was bigger. Well, the diameter is exactly the same because the replacement pads from the Sport fits the Pro. It is only larger in thickness because of more padding. I like the greater sound deadening of the Pro so that I do not have to wear earplugs with it. However, it does not fold up like the Sport, thus taking up more room in my range bag. If I had to choose between the two I would go with the Pro because of the better sound reduction rating.

There are only two electronic ear muffs that provide a 29dB noise reduction, these Howard Leights and Pro Ears (which are $100 more). I have several of both types, they work the same. My pictures are of the yellow and also a black Howard Leight unit and the pink unit is a Pro Ears. The military desert colored one is USGI and no longer made by Silencio, but it was the first of such high end products. Note the battery compartment access, the switches and the one failed (repaired) joint. This HL brand has a metalIc head suspension, likely better durability altho I’ve had one set fail at the plastic hinge connection at the ear cup. The Pro Ears version is a plastic head suspension and the pads are cushier, but i’ve had the electronics get sweaty and corrode green, destroying a few units. Neither choice option is perfect, but the Howard Leight version is priced way lower. Either choice, get a 29dB as you’re damaging your hearing otherwise, certainly true in any indoor shooting environment (above .22LR) Understand that the 29dB rating is the noise reduction capability even if turned off or no batteries. This is the key to rating the sound reduction capabilities. The electronic portion of the dB reduction is irrelevant for you and me, its stated for scientists and lawyers. Pish posh mumbo jumbo. All you hotta know is 29dB, and there’s only these 2 options. They are great for instructors and their students, allowing for unimpeded communication which is so critical. Read full review

Having bought the Impact Sport and totally happy with them shooting outdoors, I knew that shooting at a indoor range I was going to need better hearing protection. The Impact Pro delivers all features of the Sport plus better hearing protection. Ok, they are large but believe me having lost my hearing in one ear already I am taking every possible precaution to protect the hearing in my only good ear. I have a large range bag so size is not an issue for me. Since I will be shooting a handgun again, size with not be a issue either.
