Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use these earmuffs every single time I go hunting. They are wonderful. I have no complaints at all. I have had them now for two years and the batteries are still good.
I will not hunt or fire a gun without them. Yes, they amplify the sounds but they cancel out the loud sound of you firing your gun. Perfect to hear that critter sneaking up on you.
Customer Review: Awesome, Def worth a try
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these due to the fact im deaf in one ear and am going to take some certification courses. I wanted to be able to focus on instruction since im at a disadvantage being half deaf. I can say this are awesome they amplify the normal sounds(instruction) and are very fast to shut down the harmful noises. I was very impressed as it was easier for me to hear with this on then even off. (the wife didnt think it was humorous with me wearing them around the house though) I cant compare these to other brands but can say for the price i dont see how you could go wrong unless they just dont last? I would recommend them to others without question. I say go for it and give them a try, I would be shocked to have someone be disappointed in them.Customer Review: Barely adequate
Summary: 3 Stars
I used these at an outdoor range, firing a 9mm pistol. I was the only one shooting, yet had significant hearing disturbance for about an hour after departing. I give them a generous three stars because they are satisfactory in the off mode when used with ear plugs. There are also MP3 features which some may find useful. I did not have any trouble fitting them over my ears--they fit well, but just did an inadequate job of blocking pistol reports.Customer Review: Best & cheapest you will find
Summary: 5 Stars
I use these at work and they are great you can hear range comands and other people no problem amplification is great and as soon as a round is fired silence (well withing safe hearing levels like any ear muffs) these are used on an outdoor range with pistols and AR-15's with multiple shooters at the same time. I looked around every were on the net and in stores this is the cheapest I could find I think Walmart had them for $50 and on up.Customer Review: Best Hearing Protection Muff on the Market
Summary: 5 Stars
As a hunter, I want to protect my valuable hearing from the muzzle blast noise. I have tried several brands of hearing protectors, and have found these to be the best in terms of overall quality, comfort, effectiveness, and cost.
Pros:
1. The set is lighweight and they are comfortable to wear all day long without making one's ears sore.
2. The sound suppression is reliable and efficient. The blast of a rifle or shotgun is muffled to the extent that it is barely audible.
3. The volume can be turned up to actually hear better than "normal" hearing. The sounds amplified are those typically made by animals rustling in the leaves, grass, or the crackling of sticks and brush.
4. They run on two 3A batteries included with the set. The batteries will easily last 2 or more days even with continuous use.
5. The muffs have a plug-in for exterior radio, MP3 players, etc.
6. The muffs fold up into a compact size that can fit into a large coat pocket if necessary.
7. Compared to other much more expensive "name" brands, these muffs cost much less, are more reliable, and produce quality hearing and loud noise reduction.
8. Best of all, one can actually tell where a sound is coming from when wearing these muffs! Other brands claim this feature, but this brand actually makes it a reality.
Cons:
There really are no cons to this muff set. The only disadvantage (and this is common to all muffs), is that one will bump "clunk" into the stock of a firearm when shouldering aiming. If you know beforehand it is coming, the "clunk" can be minimized.
I would not hunt or shoot without these muffs. I have tried much more expensive brands (Walkers), and some "in the ear" models, but these are the best I have experienced. I consider these muffs the best on the market.
