Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs 22dB NRR One Nation

The Howard Leight R02530 Impact Sport Electronic Muff delivers professional-grade hearing protection with amplified situational awareness for shooters who demand both safety and tactical advantage. This electronic hearing protection system blocks harmful noise while amplifying safe sounds up to 82dB, allowing clear communication and environmental awareness on the range or in the field.

What Makes This Different

Unlike passive foam earplugs that block all sound, the Impact Sport uses advanced electronic compression technology to instantly react to loud noises in 0.5 milliseconds. The dual microphone system provides directional hearing enhancement, helping shooters locate sounds and maintain spatial awareness. The 22dB Noise Reduction Rating meets ANSI S3.19 standards while the low-profile design clears rifle stocks and doesn't interfere with cheek weld.

• 22dB Noise Reduction Rating certified to ANSI S3.19 specifications
• 0.5 millisecond attack time instantly blocks impulse noise over 82dB
• Dual omnidirectional microphones for enhanced directional hearing

The electronic circuitry handles rapid-fire sequences without cutting out, maintaining protection during sustained shooting sessions. Indoor range environments with concrete walls and multiple shooters benefit from the consistent noise blocking, while outdoor hunting scenarios allow enhanced game detection between shots.
