Howard Leight by Honeywell Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff, Green (R – 01526)

Fantastic value – my favorite hearing protection (update)
Five stars EASY. I’ve had my pair of Impact Sport hearing protection for three years now I think, or there abouts. I’ve used mine at work, running heavy equipment 80+ hours a week and laboring all manner of dirty jobs on large demo and construction projects. I absolutely love these. Are they the highest tech? No. Are they the most comfortable? No. Are they the highest level of sound damping available? No. What they are, and why they receive such high regard from myself, is very good for their intended purpose in every respect, especially for the price. One can certainly spend a lot more, as a matter of fact a couple of my co-workers have the high-end 3M head gear with the Bluetooth this and bells and whistles that, but they are bulkier, much more expensive and those guys are constantly babying their sets. I’ve never worried about babying mine. I take care of them like anything else I own; I don’t kick them around or anything, but I have used and used and used them some more. They’ve floated around in my dirt crusted duty bag for weeks at a time, bouncing around the floorboards in a rock truck for days, been used and banged around on construction and demo projects and been subjected to thousands of rounds of small arms fire and, the ultimate test – my kids have played with them. The audio clarity on these is very good, if not perfect, and I get an amplification boost which I’m spoiled for. I can hear better with these on and I never get the feeling that my auditory sense is hindered. With a couple of lesser rigs that I’ve had (one of which actually cost twice as much), I would keep getting the feeling that I wasn’t hearing things… “correctly” due to the sound quality and a lack of directional sense. Consequently, I would find myself compelled to lift them off of my ears at times to cue in to sounds that I’d heard. Not so with these; I never feel compelled to lift them off to hear better. I can wear mine for hours without discomfort and the batteries last so long, even at full amplification, that I don’t have a guess as to how many hours they actually last – a long frikken time. They’re low profile which lends them better usage under more “dynamic” work conditions; they just don’t get in the way. I’ve also used mine during target practice with compensated 308 Win and 10mm Auto. These earmuffs are enough protection that damage does not occur even under the high decibel hammering dealt out by those arms. No ringing in the ears even under the brutal, cranium splitting, muzzle blast of rapid fire compensated arms. When I’m operating equipment and the cab noise is high, I put these on and set the audio so I’m comfortable. My ears are protected and I can still hear things like the VHF in the cab, horns and voice commands and engine noise perfectly. Like I said before though, these are not the highest level of sound protection you can get. If you’re used to using the big, high NRR stuff, these might seem a little light. I call them just right and I give them 5 Stars.Update: Still going strong! It’s 1/14/17 now. I’m wearing these on a daily basis in my shop, still using these when I’m shooting and I also wear these when I’m out cutting firewood with a chainsaw. Sub-zero temperatures, snow, years of rugged use in general have not stopped these things. Mine still work like new, although they no longer look new by any measure. These have been a great value. When this pair finally go the way of Chesty Puller and Audie Murphy, I’m getting another set of the same.

Corespond a l’article demandé,agréable a porter, bonne amplification du micro et bonne qualité d’atténuation des sons.bon rapport qualité prix

Smidiga att ha med sig och dämpar bra.Trycker lite hårt efter långvarigt användande. Kuddarna kunde varit något mjukare.

Peso non eccessivo, comfort ed efficacia.Le 3 caratteristiche fondamentali ci sono.Dopo un trauna acustico, ho bisogno di qualcosa che mi protegga senza “isolarmi fuori dal mondo”.Della varie cuffie attive viste in giro, ho provato queste spinto dalla qualità del brand.Devo dire di aver fatto la scelta giusta.Garantiscono aderenza e compressione adeguate senza risultare scomode o dolorose.La consistenza dei tamponi è ideale, e le dimensioni generose fanno si che avvolgano anche orecchie generose come le mie.La timbrica dei suoni e delle voci riprodotti è molto naturale e l’attenuazione dei rumori più forti è sempre ottima.Costano sicuramente qualcosa in più rispetto ad altri prodotti, ma secondo me ne vale la pena!
