The Howard Leight Impact Sport 22 dB over-the-head hearing protection offers active sound management for shooters who need both protection and situational awareness. Whether you're working a busy range or hunting in the field, these electronic earmuffs let you hear commands, game movement, and other important sounds while automatically protecting you from the impulse noise of gunfire. The Youth/Adult Small size fits shooters with smaller or narrower heads, with a padded headband that adjusts via telescopic height extension for a personalized, comfortable fit.
At the heart of these earmuffs is a 22 dB Noise Reduction Rating that applies in both active and passive modes. When powered on, built-in directional microphones amplify ambient sound to a safe ceiling of 82 dB—letting you hear your shot timer, range safety officer, or hunting partner without strain. The moment an impulse sound (like a rifle or shotgun discharge) hits 82 dB, the amplification cuts off automatically, protecting your ears from sudden, dangerous peaks. This active listening and shut-off cycle repeats as needed, so you stay connected to your environment without sacrifice.
The slim earcup design uses patented Air Flow Control technology, which keeps the cups compact enough not to interfere with your firearm stock or cheek weld—a real advantage for shooters who don't want bulk between them and their gun. An external audio jack gives you the option to connect an MP3 player, scanner, or other audio device if you want to integrate range music or comms. Battery life is substantial at roughly 350 hours per set, and an automatic shut-off after 4 hours of idle time helps preserve power. All Howard Leight electronic hearing protection and safety eyewear are cross-compatible, so these earmuffs integrate seamlessly into a complete Howard Leight system.
