Howard Leight by Honeywell R-01902 Impact Pro Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff, Black

They look a bit chunky but have really good sound attenuation (NRR 30db).  Probably too chunky for rifle use but for indoor pistol, I'd take 'em.

Works fine when standing with a rifle ( 6' 2" / 265 lbs. so that may make a difference ), haven't tried them when sitting at a bench.

Sound amplification isn't as good as the Pro's, but much better at blocking gun shot's.

Got mine today. Great price Thanks

Price went up but still a nice set of muffs. I thought my Impact Sports were totally inadequate but the Impact Pro is decent.

 

Not sure why mine are red and these pictured are green. Maybe an update?

why did you think the sports were inadequate?

Indoor use they don't block out enough sound.  They're only like NRR 19 or somewhat.  Outside it's not as bad unless you're shooting some really loud guns.  I generally double-up with plugs underneath with my HL Impact Sports.

That's what I meant. NRR 19 wasn't enough indoors and if i plugged underneath them there was no point in having the electronics

I actually like having the electronics - I can boost the volume to max and still hear people over the plugs.

The sport muffs are good for using power tools outside.

The Impact Sports are on sale at Midway for $40

Yeah, that's a good deal. Never seen them that cheap

I ordered these on this deal before I saw the posting here. They just showed up last evening. I have to say, compared to the Sports, these are serious quality NRR protection. They have similar tight seal like i have with Peltor standard muffs and the sound quality is excellent. I have to say, they are pretty big though. I think these are going to be my go to ones for indoor ranges/pistol shooting, but not sure I will go away from my Sports (with some foam plugs inside) for rifle/outdoor days....
