Review of The Howard Leight Impact Sport Earmuffs

Review of The Howard Leight Impact Sport Earmuffs that I got a while back but only got to try them out at the range now.

They are neat and tidy and fold up into the head band to make for a small package when not in use. I found them very comfortable to wear without them becoming to tight on my head or over ears. A good slim design so it did not hit off the gun stock. On/Off/Volume switch is a neat thumbwheel design. It also had an input for MP3 player or radio.

When turned off and used as an ear defender they work very well in fact I found them better than the standard pair of ear defenders that I would usually wear at keeping out the noise.

When turned on I could hear small talk at the far end of the range so they amplified the sound very well. When a shot was fired they did exactly what they were designed to do and shut down the speakers so they acted as just an ear defender. And when I say “when a shot was fired” I was on the next bench from where a 308 with a muzzle break was being used and I was getting all the blast of the report.

Total cost to the door was €67 . I E-mailed them to get a shipping Coupon code to reduce the shipping costs.

I ordered from:

There used to be padded partions you could put between the benches, that would help a lot, with the muzzle break situation, but I don't know where they went to as I had the same problem :mad: and my teeth were still aching a hour after I left the range. Good review and well done.

Good recommendation Clive. Where did you get the coupon code from. Showing as invalid when I'm tying to order. Working out at $110.

"Hi can you please tell me what the shipping would be on this item to Ireland. As

And they replied with a shipping code for me to use.
Give them a try - I got a reply with the code in about 3 days. And it was via the US postal service and I didn't pay any import duty.

Great review. Much appreciated.
I'm not sure on how its done, but could this be a runner for a group buy?
I've seen it done on other site's, and surely this would be a popular item?

You want to try to avoid the UPS shipping as it is expensive and they add 10 euros for the privilage of being charged vat ,so would workout about 100 euro alltogether.
