Howard Leight New Impact Sport Classic Small Earmuff - Berry Pink 22Db Nrr
The Howard Leight Impact Sport Classic Small is an electronic shooting earmuff built for hunters and range shooters who need hearing protection without sacrificing situational awareness. With a 22 dB Noise Reduction Rating in both active and passive modes, this berry pink earmuff combines impact noise suppression with real-time sound amplification—letting you hear commands, wind, and approaching game while staying safe from gunfire.
What sets the Impact Sport apart is its dual-mode design: directional microphones amplify ambient sounds up to 82 dB when powered on, giving you roughly 4x sound magnification for conversation and range chatter. The moment a loud impulse—like a rifle shot—hits that 82 dB threshold, the amplification automatically shuts off, clamping down on the hazardous noise in real time. That means you get protection and awareness in a single device, no switching gears between modes.
The slim, low-profile earcup design is a game-changer if you're running a scoped rifle or shotgun; the narrow profile clears your stock so you can mount and shoot without repositioning your hearing protection. Air Flow Control technology contributes to that streamlined profile without compromising the NRR. The padded headband telescopes for a customized fit, and the Small sizing is designed for those who find standard earmuffs too bulky or loose. An external audio jack lets you pipe in scanner traffic, range commands, or music when you're not in active shooting.
Battery life is practical: roughly 350 hours per charge, and the earmuff powers down automatically after 4 hours of idle time to stretch that window. Replaceable ear cushions come included, and the headband folds for compact storage or transport. Howard Leight electronic earmuffs are compatible with their safety eyewear, so you can build a complete hearing and eye protection setup.
