[ACC] Howard Leight Impact Sport Shooting Earmuff w/Bluetooth Charcoal Gray - 68% off - $39.99

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

Fwiw - these muffs with $15 gel cups from Amazon are amazing. Definitely worth picking up. They hold a charge for min of 7 range trips for me.

[-]

ResponsePowerful3766@reddit

Just received mines. They actually came with promotional gel cups 👍🏽

[-]

No_Artichoke_5670@reddit

Are these rechargeable? I've got a set of Walker's that has been running the same AA's for over a year, and I go to the range once a week.

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

Yes, they come with a micro USB charging cable

[-]

UBP10C@reddit

I think I read that the earlier production was micro USB, but later production is USB-C

[-]

midweastern@reddit

Not taking that chance. Curious to find out which people receive from here

[-]

RedWhiteAndJew@reddit

Is it really that big a deal? Who doesn’t have about a dozen Micro USB cables lying around?

[-]

baconatorX@reddit

Yeah but out of the dozen only two work lol

[-]

UBP10C@reddit

I read this on an Amazon review, but the 2024 catalog still says micro USB

[-]

No_Artichoke_5670@reddit

Yeah, that's a deal breaker for me. Micro-USB fails if you look at it wrong, then they're going to be useless.

[-]

gleekotreeko@reddit

… me with a EDC flashlight that charges an 18650 via micro usb… had it for almost 10 years lol

[-]

Same. Not as many yrs but I've charged my macrostream more than I can count and it's still fine. I feel like maybe there are some faulty ports, but otherwise it's just people not paying attention when they are inserting the charger cord in the plug.

[-]

No_Artichoke_5670@reddit

You've been lucky. That said, your flashlight has a removable battery that can be charged externally if the charge port breaks.

[-]

Last_Replacement@reddit

Micro usb? How quaint.

[-]

Its_Raul@reddit

Can you link me the cups? I've own 6 of these and the muffs part basically turn into nothing (super thin).

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

Which Amazon gel cups would you recommend? And, how to select them? I am actually looking for said cups for another application, but keep procrastinating. Your post made me think on that

[-]

3900Ent@reddit

Which gel cups?

[-]

iexbrood@reddit

Not sure if I can post Amazon links.

Just look for "PROHEAR GEP02 2 Pair Gel Ear Pads for Howard Leight by Honeywell Impact Sport Pro Sync Leightning Earmuffs".

[-]

Creepy-Lifeguard69@reddit

Thanks, they’re $30 for two now, not too shabby

[-]

You find them?

PutridNest@reddit

What's does this upgrade? Comfort or noise reduction?

[-]

the_kilted_ninja@reddit

Comfort and let's you get a seal when wearing ear pro

[-]

PutridNest@reddit

I mean, what about when you're not wearing hearing pro?

[-]

the_kilted_ninja@reddit

I'm an idiot and wasn't looking at my typing. I meant EYE pro.

[-]

PutridNest@reddit

Well that makes a whole lot more sense and might be why my kid's glasses were hurting her ears with ear pro. Thanks, I think we need these.

[-]

NotchWith@reddit

If these are close to the same ones I have with the auto cutoff I've had a battery last over 5 years

[-]

kissmygame17@reddit

Yeah I was going to say yesterday I just wondering where the battery switch out is cause it's been years

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

Restocked

[-]

TailwindConfig@reddit

This is a genuine question - why would you need BT on ear pro? What is the benefit?

[-]

Potatoez2@reddit

I think these amplify the lower frequency sounds too. Like I think it makes it so gunshots are muffled and speaking volume sound is still hearable. At least, that's what the description makes it seem like.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

That’s the way the Walker version of these I have works so I’d assume the same goes for these. I bought a pair to compare.

[-]

Potatoez2@reddit

Nice. Would be cool to know If it's comparable.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

When I get them I’ll try to remember to update you.

[-]

Potatoez2@reddit

Many thanks my friend.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

Just got them, and out of the box I like them so far. They are slimmer than my BT walkers and they have foam over the mics which helps cut wind noise. These also came with swappable gel cups included, which are great as they help seal better with glasses. I haven’t taken them to the range yet (aiming for this weekend), but unless something dramatic happens I’d say I like these more than my walkers already just due to them being slimmer and the foam on the mics. Walkers are good though and I’ll still use them and loan them out.

[-]

Potatoez2@reddit

Awesome! Good to know. Thanks dude.

[-]

DashOfSalt84@reddit

If you wanted to use your phone or listen to music. Not for me, but I understand it.

[-]

ClintonsBurnerPhone@reddit

These are also good for when you are mowing the lawn etc you want to want jam out alittle bit while saving your hearing.

[-]

lancerevo98@reddit

Wait what should I be wearing earpro when mowing? I wear airpods but that's not legit ear pro 😂

[-]

AgreeablePie@reddit

If it's a gas mower, yes. Something that helps with noise reduction

Do you have to turn your air pods up to hear when you're doing it? If so, you're causing problems rather than solving them...

[-]

lancerevo98@reddit

No they're airpod pros with noise cancelling so I keep the volume the same

[-]

BestFriendVenom@reddit

Noise cancelling doesn’t protect from hearing damage. They just play the inverse of the sound wave back (someone correct me if the terminology is wrong).

[-]

Stuffy123456@reddit

What do you think these do to “quiet” the gunshot sounds?

[-]

BestFriendVenom@reddit

These act as conventional earmuffs, but a microphone plays the “quiet” sounds through a speaker.

[-]

Stuffy123456@reddit

Oh, I thought there was some aspect of ANC in these.

[-]

LVCSSlacker@reddit

no. When they cross a noise threshold, the mic stops transmitting to the speakers.

[-]

Hereforgundeals69420@reddit

My old Toro gas mower was loud as fuck! Thr best household investment I've made was getting a discounted Kobalt demo 80V electric mower.

[-]

strelokjg47@reddit

Yes.

[-]

ClintonsBurnerPhone@reddit

I do because I don't have to turn my headphones up as loud to drown out noise from the mower. Turning up your earbuds isn't exactly protecting your ears imo 😂

[-]

dadlif3@reddit

Sounds like you've never jumped out of a helicopter listening to Creed.

[-]

TailwindConfig@reddit

You got me there for sure lol

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

I never use the BT feature but I get why some would like it.

[-]

tribeofham@reddit

I've always felt that 21db isn't enough especially if I'm next to someone with a beastly compensator. My current ear pro is 37db but it doesn't have Bluetooth or anything fancy like that.

[-]

Minimum_Government@reddit

It gets worse when you realize a lot of ears are rated at db reduction at their peak of the sound spectrum instead of their worst.

[-]

Its_Raul@reddit

I usually will double up for an indoor range. Outside it's totally fine (at least I think it is).

[-]

IIIpl4sm4III@reddit

Shot a buddys short barreled AR with a cookie cutter comp. Ears were ringing with these, but Im not sure what ear pro would stand up to that kind of beast.

[-]

tribeofham@reddit

Oof yeah, that would be rough. I mostly shoot at public outdoor ranges so I have no control over who shows up and what they shoot. Sometimes I will double down on ear pro and start with foam plugs before putting on my cupped ear pro.

[-]

ForgedBiscuit@reddit

I mean isn't a typical 9mm pistol around 160 db at the muzzle? This is barely adequate for that at an outdoor range with no other shooters around. and just because 140db is the threshold for "hearing safe" for instantaneous noise doesn't mean it's safe over hundreds of rounds or more.

[-]

tribeofham@reddit

I'm already half deaf from the military. I'm not taking any chances with additional hearing loss haha.

[-]

PM_ME_BUNZ@reddit

Are these still mono audio?

Last time I wore a set of these if I snap at my right ear I hear the sound at both ears identically, hence my comment about mono (nondirectional) audio. That was an absolute deal breaker.

[-]

TheLasVegasLocal@reddit

ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT NEW EAR PRO, WHY 💀😭

[-]

jBoogie45@reddit

Same, just bought some woodland camo Walkers, though I'm happy with them so far.

[-]

atlhawks1@reddit

I need something with more protection… what’s the next level up?

[-]

Lego-Under-Foot@reddit

Just wear the foam earplugs underneath these. Cheap and comfy solution

[-]

Midzotics@reddit

Oos?

[-]

Medium_Imagination67@reddit

Looks like they are sold out now. I would have liked to try these compared to my Walker's.

[-]

BestFriendVenom@reddit

OOS

[-]

snipeslayer@reddit

How are these vs Walker quads? I was looking to get my first pair for ear protection and I'm learning about them.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

I have the Walkers and like them but they are beefy and can get in the way of a cheek weld (getting your face down on the stock to aim). I just bought a pair of these to compare because I’ve seen a lot of people swear by them so there’s that. At worst I’d imagine they’re on par with each other though, so if you’re on the fence just buy the ones you can get for a better deal (which I think are these at the moment).

[-]

GamesGunsGreens@reddit

Fuck me, i just bought 2 pais of the Sport 2, non BT, as Christmas presents for my parents for $50/each. I might have to buy these for myself just to average down lol.

[-]

CreatedUsername1@reddit

Buying one so I can wear it when my gf nags me

[-]

ThatGuyGetsIt@reddit

Unless she's really loud I believe these would just help amplify her voice. Unless you just turned them off, but if that's the case you could just get some analog muffs

[-]

killacarnitas1209@reddit

I use these when I want to be nosey and hear the neighbors drama lol.

[-]

ThatGuyGetsIt@reddit

😂

[-]

katherinesilens@reddit

Buying one so I can wear it when my gf nags me (I love her and want to hear her more clearly during noisy hobbies)

[-]

UBP10C@reddit

She's just going to call you over Bluetooth and keep nagging

[-]

Professional-Swim-69@reddit

Fucking underrated comment here LOL

[-]

2alife@reddit

FYI, I bought these (from elsewhere) for work use (not shooting), and the Bluetooth multi-function button would turn Bluetooth on, but would not pause/resume music like another brand I had. I ended up returning them because I didn’t want to have to fumble with my phone when I needed to pause the music to have a conversation with someone.

It would be interesting to find out others’ experiences with these and whether my pair had a glitch of some sort.

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

u/firearmsunknown great deal on these!

[-]

ancillarycheese@reddit

How do these work with cheek weld? I’ve got Walkers now and it’s hard to get behind the scope. They are too bulky.

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

I have no issue getting a good check weld with a variety of different sticks and braces. Even those with cheek risers. Walkers did the same thing for me. Made me glad I always double up.

[-]

Panthean@reddit

How do these compare to Razors?

[-]

pieceonthemic@reddit

How’re these against your basic walkers razors? Seems like an upgrade to me and I’ve not been thrilled with mine

[-]

DirtyDee78@reddit (OP)

They're a nice upgrade even with stock ear cups. Highly recommend getting gel cups if you pick these up.

Not bad for the price. These are decent. Get the gel pads though.
