Customer Reviews For The Howard Leight Impact Sport Bolt Sound Amplification Shooting Earmuff, Black

Impact Sport Bolt Digital Electronic Earmuff

At the range or on the hunt, the Howard Leight Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff keeps you protected from hazardous noise and connected to your environment. These earmuffs carry a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 22 in both on and off mode. When the electronic ear protection is switched on, they employ built-in directional microphones that amplify ambient sounds to a safe 82 dB. This allows you to hear important commands on the range and crucial environment sounds when hunting. As an added safety feature, they also actively listen and automatically shut off amplification when loud impulsive sounds like firearm discharges reach 82 dB. Patented Air Flow Control technology allows for a slim earcup design that ensures your firearm stock has clearance while shooting. The padded headband features telescopic height adjustment for a comfortable, customized fit. An external audio jack lets you connect the earmuff to an MP3 player, scanner or other audio source. Automatic shut-off after 4 hours helps save battery life. Protect yourself against hazardous gunfire noise without being left in silence.

Instant Protection

Digital compression circuitry delivers a lightning-fast .5 millisecond attack time (the interval between when a shot is fired and when the earmuff reacts) that lowers the sound to a safe sub-82 dB level. This is 250x faster than our classic Impact Sport Earmuff.

Uninterrupted Hearing

The .5 millisecond attack time also eliminates sound-clipping (the inadvertent blocking of ambient sound after a gunshot). This is crucial for a busy range or class environment where hearing commands is important for safety and/or learning.

Designed for Shooting

Low-profile earcup, recessed controls and a rifle-cutaway design allow for a tight gunstock cheek weld that won't disrupt the seal of the ear cushion, while allowing better intuitive sighted and unsighted fire.

Engineered for Hunting

Recessed microphones reduce wind noise and amplify quiet sounds like animal noises up to 5x. The microphones are also directional, which let you know from where the sound is coming. This is an essential feature for tracking prey, and an added safety feature for the range.

Headphone Functionality

AUX input and 3.5 mm connection cord allows you to connect to an external MP3 player, scanner or other audio device.

Superior Comfort

Padded ear cushions and padded black leatherette headband offer long wearing comfort on the range or in the field; 2 replacement ear cushions included.

Compact & Portable

Folding design reduces earmuff size by 50% and allows for compact storage; belt clip is included for convenient hands-free carriage.

Low Energy Earmuff

Auto shut-off after four hours prolongs battery life and the snap-on lid allows for easy battery replacement. Includes 2 AAA batteries.
