Good value

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.

Tom

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.

What did you say?

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.

Not bad.

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.

Great product!

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!

Howard Electronic Earmuffs

I had never used electronic ear protection before, but one day at the range conviced me this is the way to go. You hear everything except the high frequency sound of the firearm going off. You may talk to people and fire your weapon without removing the earmuffs. Outstanding Product!

Works great

The earmuffs work great. It's so much better going to the range now. The guns shots are louder when I wear these over the Remington non-electronic pair I got from Wal-Mart, but its still well under anything that would hurt your ears. The volume knob is easy to find while you're wearing them and voices are pretty clear.

Surprised how good the product is.

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.
