Our take on the Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protection Earmuffs

The Peltor Sport Tactical 500 is an electronic hearing protector for shooting ranges and hunting. It carries an NRR of 25 dB, cuts gunshot noise while amplifying low sounds, and adds Bluetooth for calls and audio. Clear Voice Tracking pulls speech out of background noise, and Dynamic Suppression Time adjusts how long the muffs stay quiet after a shot to cut echoes. Owners like the sound processing and Bluetooth, but the 3.6 rating reflects complaints about fit, clamping force and durability.
