Howard Leight Electronic Earmuff


Recommended Posts

Just a little review

A while back I posted a thread asking for some input on hearing protection. There was a lot of Peltor support, but I decided to go with these Howard Leight muffs that I found on Amazon. 4.5/5 stars with 55 ratings is good enough for me. They arrived today, and they look and feel great. I really like the olive/black color scheme.The muffs seem to be very sturdy while still being lightweight and very thin. They take 2 AAA batteries, and they're a snap to install without any tools.

There is also a STANDARD audio input and an included male to male audio adapter to attach your favorite music device, radio, etc. I'm particularly excited about this feature.

This set has a NRR of 22dB, which is only decent. I plan on wearing earplugs underneath if I'm around larger caliber rifles or indoors. There is only one control knob, and it's large and grippy. Very easy to manipulate, probably even with heavy gloves. There are two microphones, which does allow for directional hearing. Turned all the way up, they enhance sound very well. My computer fan goes from a whisper to a deafening drone with a flick of the knob. Very cool.

The price is the best part about these headphones. Very inexpensive compared to the Peltor's, and supposedly they're just as good at cutting out for just an instant for loud noises. No lag like the Caldwell's. Well, supposedly no lag. I'll find out for sure this weekend.

I have had a set for about 6 months now and really like them for handguns outdoors. 22db is not enough (for me personally) when firing larger caliber rifles or handguns indoors. I still wear a set of foamies under mine under either of those conditions. It's hard to find much over 24-25db of reduction in electronic without getting rather pricey. I think the Pro_Ears are 33db but they are around $300.00.
