Everyone seems to like these, so I'll just cover the considerations. I gently use this electronic hearing protector three to five times a month at the range. After an hour or two, the ear cups get a bit swampy - there is no way to wick moisture out while wearing them. Best to change to ear plugs and let the muffs dry out for a little while. The battery door is a bit awkward to remove and reinstall, but does not need frequent battery changes. I changed the batteries after a year because I thought they would need changing soon, but have never run down a set of batteries. These are great to help with conversations with the wife or instructor while on the gun line. When the next lane opens up with an AR15, you can forget any conversation until he runs out of rounds. That is the nature of the product, not a shortcoming of this model. Sound amplification gets hissy at full volume. It is noticeable but not unbearable. Then again, you can hear your own footsteps and breathing at that volume. One night I was investigating a noise in the house with the amp turned all with way up. Nearly jumped out of my skin when the ice cube maker dumped a tray. Remember, finger off the trigger. Did not find anything out of the ordinary and did not shoot the fridge. For the price, my expectations are exceeded. A more expensive design may have full amplifier volume that has less background hiss, but I rarely turn up the volume more than conversation level, about half way. After a year and a half, buying Howard Leight ear muffs was a good decision.

I ordered a set of these amplified earmuffs because I needed a spare set and I am really surprised at how good they are. My main pair have a retail price of over $300 and they are very sturdy and have held up for 6 years now but my new pair at a fraction of the cost are really quite nice. It would be easy to retire the expensive pair and just use the Impact Sport earmuffs, they are that nice. They use AAA batteries which you can find anywhere and have an auto shutoff feature that will save the batteries if you neglect to turn them off. Several folks at my local gun club have these and I have heard only favorable comments, everyone loves them.

These are one of the best Electronic Earmuffs I've ever used. They are comfortable, they fit snuggly on your head, you can hear conversations as if you had no Earmuffs on at all, And yet, the absolute micro second that the gun is fired it muffles the sound. And you can still hear people talking in the background. The one thing you do get if you turn them all the way up on high is electronic hiss noise. But if you turn the sound back enough to get rid of the hissing noise, you can hear people 30 feet away talking to each other. At least, that's the way my pair is working. Love em. Used them with High Power rifles and 44 mag pistols. Fabulous.

I was pleasantly surprised by the ear protectors. I liked them so much that I bought another one for my wife. The directions are a little unclear about the battery installation, but anyone with common sense can figure it out in less than a minute. It is amazing how it amplifies low level sounds. This will be great on the shooting range and may even be good for hunting.

Not bad for the price. Very nice being able to hear people speaking without constantly removing and repositioning ear protection. They do interfere with my shooting glasses a bit but I'm still experimenting with shooting placement. Thumbs up.

These earmuffs are the best for ear protection for shooting. We have several types of guns and have tried different types of ear protection and these have proven to be the best because you can hear when others are talking to you but not get the loud bang when the guns go off. A must for any shooter!

Product is all that it promised. You can be involved with a conversation and still have the dampening effect when a shot rings out. Takes a bit to find that "comfort" fit but once you do it delivers.

Muffs worked great. Should have bought another pair. Wear them the.whole time I am at the range. Cuts out the shots and allows me to hear conversation.

I used it at the shooting range and I could hear conversations and when the guns fired the noise was reduced. This is exactly what I wanted.

I have used other electronics earmuffs before but have not used any as comfortable with such crisp sound. Loud db cut of only lasts for a split second where some last for several seconds and in turn these less quality ones cut out conversations as well. Top notch!

I was told by two of my shooting friends about this product. I went to the range and tried the product . The noise cancellation was superb and I could hear normal conversation. I also use these as a game ear because it amplifies distance sounds so well. I highly recommend this product.

Works as well as the expensive electronic earmuffs. Could not really tell the difference when I compared them with other manufactures that cost a lot more when we traded around while at the range. I liked how narrow they are at the bottom which minimzies any contact with the stock of a shotgun. Auto shut off after 4 hours is great also. Killed a number of battiers in the past when I forgot to shut my old ones off after use. Others on my team have already purchased them after trying them out. Price kind of scared me off at first as they were so inexpensive I thought they would be cheap looking or not work well... Not the case... a great buy on a very good product. Will have to see how long they last. The ones I replaced were over 10 years old and the material around muff that contacts your ear finally cracked and no longer comfortable. At this price I bought two, one for myself and one for my wife when we practice with out handguns.

This product was recommended by a friend and I have recommended it since I got it. It's ability to muffle gunfire while allowing the user to hear speech louder than without the ear protection on is remarkable, and it can be hooked up to an mp3 player or smartphone.

I have never owned a pair of $200 hearing protection, and after owning these I never will. I could not ask for more from my muffs. Noise amplification is clear and you can actually hear the direction of the sound. Canceling works perfectly. While pistol shooting at metal targets I can actually hear the bullet hit the target so the instant feedback is not lost. Amazing. I can carry on a conversation with ease. If I regain the hunting desire I WILL NOT be in the woods without these because of the drastically increased hearing range. I currently own 2 pair so I am a repeat customer. Thank you Howard L.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Product is very durable and well made

I'm impressed...amplifies low level noise (speech, rustling of leaves, etc.), but suppresses loud noises (shotgun blast). Because of stereo microphones, I can tell the direction of people and sounds around me. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is 22dB but that appears to be more than adequate.
