How does an electronic ear muff work?

Microphones pick up outside sound and play it through speakers inside the cup, so quiet sounds are louder. The shell still blocks the sharp peak of a gunshot. Turn the electronics off and it works as a passive muff.

What is the noise reduction rating?

Champion does not publish an NRR for the 40974 in the product information. Treat it as a general-purpose electronic muff and add foam earplugs for indoor ranges or large calibers.

Can I plug in earplugs or a radio?

It has a 3.5 mm audio input, so you can connect earplugs, a radio or a phone. That lets you double up on protection or listen to audio between strings.

Yes. The cups fold into the headband for storage in a range bag or glovebox.

How does it compare with Howard Leight Impact Sport?

Both amplify ambient sound and fold flat. The Impact Sport has a widely published NRR and a slim cut for rifle stocks; the Champion is a simpler muff with fewer published specs.

Is it good for hunting?

It amplifies footsteps and conversation, which helps in a blind or on a stalk. The bulk can interfere with a rifle stock, so check the cheek weld before you rely on it.
