Review: both are excellent hearing protection that I would recommend to all shooters - I will review these in comparison to the Howard Leight Impact Sport. First of all, both are excellent hearing protection that I would recommend to all shooters. The electronic amplification they provide allow shooters to hear those around them without sacrificing their hearing to gunshots. If you care about safety, having these is a no brainer. Both sets of hearing protection claim 22-NRR, which is great for lower caliber firearms. If you are firing higher, louder caliber rifles I would recommend "doubling up" by wearing foam ear plugs underneath. This doesn't mean that you'll get the 22-NRR plus the 30-NRR of your ear plugs for a total of 52-NRR, but it does mean that you'll get over 30-NRR and preserve your hearing. The amplification is great for those who double up, so they can still hear those around them while receiving the best ear protection possible. Now the differences. Both do claim the 22-NRR rating but the Peltor 100's provide a better seal and thus better noise reduction. The Howard Leights tend to be looser on the bottom of your ear, which can allow sound in. Not only do the Peltor's offer a better seal, but they're quicker to put on and get the seal right. With the Howard Leights, you'll find yourself constantly adjusting them while the Peltor's hardly need any adjustment. Regarding size, both offer a slimmer profile than most other ear muffs. At their greatest width, the Howard Leight's are slimmer, but the Peltors are chamfered to be slimmer near the bottom of the ear. Both work great on rifles when it comes to size-- they allow you to get a good and consistent cheek weld. In terms of quality, the Peltors do seem a little more durable, notably at the head band. Functionality, arguably the most important feature, is great in both but there's notable differences. The first notable difference off the bat is the volume. Howard Leights win hands down in providing greater amplification-- it's like super hearing. Peltor's do make sounds more natural, but their loudest setting is only slightly higher than normal hearing without them on. They both block out loud sounds, but the Peltor is a lot more sensitive and will kick in for not just gun shots, but for quieter noises like the clapping of hands. There is a noticeable delay from when the technology activates and deactivates, but that doesn't really bug me. The sound quality is better on the Peltors, but the ability to have super hearing on the Howard Leights is great. As far as price goes, I purchased the Howard Leights for $41 and these Peltor 100's for $55. If I were to give both a rating on a 1-5 scale, the Howard Leights would receive a 4 and the Peltor 100's would receive a 4.5. If the Peltor's had the ability to hear louder like the Leight's, I would give them a 5. If the Howard Leights had a better seal and noise reduction, I would give them a 5. The quality of the seal and better noise reduction make these .5 better than the Howard Leights. Hope this helps!
Review: Excellent for in the workshop - My hobby is projects in the workshop. I am a blacksmith and metal worker. Loud sounds are everywhere. I damaged my hearing when I was a teenager and once I became wise enough to treasure what hearing I had left, I became protective of it. I work with my father at times and wearing standard muffs, I was constantly taking them off for conversation and having to put them back on for the loud work. Not anymore. Hear everything like normal except the loud noises. Turn up the volume and you have super human hearing. At one point, I was running a grinder, heard my phone ring, shut off the grinder, and took the phone call while still wearing these. I just held the phone speaker up to the microphone on the ear muffs. If there is any background noise at all, you can tell when the muffs compress the loud noise. It is interesting how many loud noises I didn't even think about and usually didn't protect against. Things like blowing off an air hose. What is your hearing worth? I wish I had bought them sooner. Update 9/21: Still love them. The only negative I can say is if you are in an environment which is continuously noisy, these will either compress the noise if it’s really loud, which will make it so you can’t hear conversation, or if the noise is not too loud, these will pass the noise to the speakers which also makes conversation difficult. Supposedly the more expensive models do better with this but conversation is difficult in noisy environments with or without muffs so I don’t blame the muffs. I am still glad I bought them. I wear them regularly. They make great music headphones when mowing the lawn too. I did buy the upgraded gel ear cups which are overly priced but very comfortable. They are especially nice when wearing glasses as they form around them better producing less pressure on the head. I did not find the original cups uncomfortable, the gels are just more comfortable. I deal with head pressure causing headaches and the gels help lessen that. The battery life, especially when listen to music, isn’t super long. Several hours though. It is only two AA’s which keeps the muffs weight low. I use rechargeable batteries so it doesn’t bother me any.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So the BIG Question .... How do these compare to the Howard Leight Impact Sport??? Let's hear your thoughts and feedback owners!!!**
A: I don't have the impact sports, but compared to the impact pros, I HATE these.  If someone else is shooting somewhere, these cut off noise completely.  The Impact Pros will shut out the bangs and simultaneously let you hear conversations.  These won't do that, they just go to full sound-proof mode.  Useless for me at competitions.  These are actually more comfortable and compact, though.

**Q: can I use these with military kelvar helmet?**
A: Yes, I use these as a U.S. Marine and they fit perfectly underneath my Kevlar. You'll need to adjust your chinstrap though.

**Q: will these work for loud yard appliances like blowers and lawn mowers?**
A: Yes, they will work as standard ear muffs while in a loud environment, but the microphone volume is tied to the input volume. I tried to use these while mowing and listening to music at the same time. By turning the volume knob up, it also increased the volume of the mic and mower, downing out the music.

**Q: Do the peltor gel cups fit these?**
A: Gel Cups from Swat-Tac & ComTac fit the Peltor Tactical 500.  Other Gel Cups will not fit.  I hope this answers your concern.  I got this answer directly from a Peltor Executive.  Respectfully, ted
