Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff
Customer Review: Adjustment Problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a set of these but was disapointed with them because when i am clay shooting after a few shots the ear muff shells covering the ears would slide down fowling with the stock of the gun,the reason for this is the very loose fit of the adjustment bars and plastic sliders on the front and back of each muff.Customer Review: Affordable ear candy...
Summary: 5 Stars
In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that I put a limit of $100 on my purchase. I go to the range fairly infrequently and have used my brother's Peltor Tactical 6S as well as some inexpensive brands of the non-electronic variety. After only a couple of hours with the Peltor, the pressure physically hurt my head and the mic intermittently cut out. He had another set, which was also defective. I researched the internet extensively, and found these.
The auxiliary input is very handy, but the sound is nowhere near audiophile grade. The included earbuds in an iPod sound better, but nonetheless it is a GREAT feature.
To test comfort, I actually slept with them on, and woke up with no aching the next morning. Even while wearing protective eyewear they remained extremely comfortable. The wide band distributes pressure evenly and the material seems to be durable as well as comfortable.
Performance-wise, they react quickly to loud noises. Even without the electronics enabled, they encompassed my ears with no sound leakage as I moved my head and the protection was adequate. The adjustable volume dial is ergonomic and easy to manipulate, even with gloves on. With the electronics engaged, I become blessed with superhuman hearing. I could While in the living room, I could hear the washing machine... 30' away, past the kitchen, in the garage. I could even hear the friction of my wife's bare feet on the hardwood flooring. Eeerie. They were also effective when I used a battery operated multi-tool (dremel/rotozip) in a cabinet (with my head IN the cabinet) and they worked very well. Being so slim, the muffs weren't cumbersome.
I'll be attending a 7-day gun-training course in a month with dozens of other people, each shooting a thousand rounds... so we'll see how well they perform. Right now, though... these things are indeed ear candy.

Summary: 5 Stars
After trying my shooting buddies' Walkers game ear, I had to have a pair. I searched the net for a pair and they were a little more than I wanted to spend. When I saw the reviews on these I decided to take the plunge. After Amazons' fast shipping I tried them on and they fit great. The first evening I went stalking with them on I had them turned up high and every step I took in my tennis shoes sounded like I was walking on Ice! Crunch, Crunch!! I turned them down to normal and they are great. My buddy tried them out and said they were more comfy than his Game Ears! These are a very good investment for your ears!!
