Our take on the Howard Leight R-02521 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff

The Howard Leight Impact Sport is an electronic earmuff for shooting ranges and loud work. Built-in stereo microphones amplify low sounds like range commands, then cut amplification when noise reaches 82 dB. A single knob handles power and volume, and an external audio jack takes an MP3 player or scanner. Its low-profile cups and slim headband make it easier to shoulder a rifle than bulky passive muffs, and owners widely rate it well for the money. The trade-off is modest passive noise reduction, so it suits indoor and outdoor shooting and light machinery more than very loud environments.

About the Howard Leight R-02521 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff

The Howard Leight Impact Sport is an electronic earmuff with a low-profile ear cup design and an adjustable headband for a secure, non-slip fit. It folds for easy storage.

Built-in microphones pick up low-level sounds, such as conversation and range commands, and amplify them. Sound comes through in stereo with clear directional hearing. One knob controls both power and volume.

The earmuffs monitor sound levels and shut off amplification when harmful levels are reached. They block continuous and impulse noise of 82 decibels or more. An external audio input connects an MP3 player, scanner or other audio source. The earmuffs run on 2 AAA batteries, which are included, and shut off automatically after four hours to save battery life.

Questions and answers

Does it block gunfire noise?
Yes. It cuts amplification when sound reaches 82 dB, and the cups add passive reduction. It blocks less than large passive muffs at very loud indoor ranges.
Can I plug in a phone or radio?
Yes. An external audio input takes an MP3 player, scanner or similar source through a standard cable.
What batteries does it use?
Two AAA batteries, included. An automatic four-hour shut-off extends battery life if you forget to switch it off.
Is it good for rifle shooting?
The low-profile cups are designed to stay clear of a rifle stock, which is a common complaint with bulky muffs.
How does it compare with passive earmuffs?
It adds amplification and stereo hearing that passive muffs lack, but passive muffs with a higher noise reduction rating block more sound.
Can I wear it over a hat?
The adjustable headband fits over a cap, but a thick hat can break the seal around the ears and reduce protection.
