Sport Tactical 100 Electronic Hearing Protector, Ear Protection, NRR 22 dB, Ideal for the Range, Shooting and Hunting, TAC100-OTH

The noise reduction was excellent, they are very comfortable, lightweight, and sealed well around the ear pieces of my glasses. Great product for this price!

My hobby is projects in the workshop. I am a blacksmith and metal worker. Loud sounds are everywhere. I damaged my hearing when I was a teenager and once I became wise enough to treasure what hearing I had left, I became protective of it. I work with my father at times and wearing standard muffs, I was constantly taking them off for conversation and having to put them back on for the loud work. Not anymore. Hear everything like normal except the loud noises. Turn up the volume and you have super human hearing. At one point, I was running a grinder, heard my phone ring, shut off the grinder, and took the phone call while still wearing these. I just held the phone speaker up to the microphone on the ear muffs. If there is any background noise at all, you can tell when the muffs compress the loud noise. It is interesting how many loud noises I didn't even think about and usually didn't protect against. Things like blowing off an air hose. What is your hearing worth? I wish I had bought them sooner. Update 9/21: Still love them. The only negative I can say is if you are in an environment which is continuously noisy, these will either compress the noise if it’s really loud, which will make it so you can’t hear conversation, or if the noise is not too loud, these will pass the noise to the speakers which also makes conversation difficult. Supposedly the more expensive models do better with this but conversation is difficult in noisy environments with or without muffs so I don’t blame the muffs. I am still glad I bought them. I wear them regularly. They make great music headphones when mowing the lawn too. I did buy the upgraded gel ear cups which are overly priced but very comfortable. They are especially nice when wearing glasses as they form around them better producing less pressure on the head. I did not find the original cups uncomfortable, the gels are just more comfortable. I deal with head pressure causing headaches and the gels help lessen that. The battery life, especially when listen to music, isn’t super long. Several hours though. It is only two AA’s which keeps the muffs weight low. I use rechargeable batteries so it doesn’t bother me any.

Peltor tactical 100 is the best bang for the buck. I gave them 5 stars because they did as I asked for under $100. Are there better electronic ear muffs? Sure. And you will pay more. Here is my comparison. I have Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic ear muffs. I like them. They do a nice job. They use clipping technology to achieve their NRR 22 rating. They are a reasonable price. They cut the sound but are slow to come back to normal hearing. I am a firearm instructor and I wanted something better without going over $100. I wanted electronic muffs that use compression technology. That's what Peltor uses. It's better, faster, and more expensive. I used the Peltor Tactical 100 recently for a IL concealed carry class. They were more comfortable than the Howard's. Even though the NRR of 22 is the same as the Howard's. I thought that the Peltor's were a little better. Sounds are much clearer. I can communicate better with the students. They cut the sound during shots (indoor range) and resume normal/enhanced hearing very fast. Good sound compression. Good communication on the range. Comfortable. Reasonable size. (Folds into itself to fit in range bag) Good price. Exactly what I was looking for. Highly reccomended.

The good: These fit people with larger heads/ears extremely well. For reference I usually have to take the largest hat sizes if they have the pin hole measurement. Definitely blocks a good amount of sound. These work fine for indoor ranges as long as someone isn't shooting a desert eagle in the next lane, but they are probably better for outdoor than indoor at least in my opinion. The sort of bad: If you are shooting indoor, I think it's prudent to double up on hearing protection in case someone is firing a loud weapon. Unless you are wearing extremely low profile plugs, this might be difficult to accomplish with this headset. Comparison to the Howard Leights: People often like to point out the price difference. To me, this shouldn't even be a factor because your hearing is important and it is worth spending money on something that gets the job done. Also, with this product on sale at amazon they are so close in price that it is somewhat a moot point. Now I own both the howard leights and this, and for people with bigger heads this is way better in terms of comfort and hearing protection. As I said the only reason I gave it a 4 star opposed to 5 is because it is hard to double up on hearing protection with this. You can do that easier with the HLIS (howard leight impact sports) if those fit you correctly. For your average person who goes to the range every now and then, these will more than meet and probably exceed your needs. It also makes hearing range commands very easy (both headsets do this) by amplifying low decibel noise. Also I didn't read it anywhere on the product review, but it is 22db of noise reduction.

I own several Razor models and like them a lot. I decided to try Peltor even though they are nearly twice the price. They are more comfortable so you can wear them longer and the noise reduction is twice as good. With Razor you get a little bit of static noise. The Peltor have zero static noise and I double checked to make sure they were even on! Even the slightest noise that could appear harmful gets immediately cut out. If you budget can afford them I highly recommend owning a few.

Excelente calidad de material y buen reducción de sonido para el tiro de entrenamiento, aunque claro están dentro de la gama de utilización civil pero se pueden comprar adaptadores para el radio, pero dentro de las especificaciones trabajan excelente, faltará usarlos en tiempo de lluvia y climas adversos

Gunshots still pretty loud but the ANC works well otherwise

Like many people looking for good quality hearing protection for indoor shooting ranges, I came across many reviews on what to buy. The Howard Leight Impact Sport and Walker's Razor Slim ear muffs seemed to get many positive reviews, and are top selling ear protectors, but each has universally agreed upon cons: The Impact Sports don't fit well and the Razors don't sound good and you lose some spatial awareness. So the search went on and I ended up buying the Peltor Sport Tactical 100 ear muffs based on a bit fewer reviews but most seeming very positive. After all, if the ear muffs don't fit well, your ears aren't being protected, and if the sound isn't good, how can you hear the rangemaster or know where he/she is? These Peltor 100 muffs look more like the Razors than the Impact Sports, but have the best of both and really, none of the cons. The ear pads are quite thick and the headband is well padded. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods. They offer much better ear protection than the Impact Sports as I could never get the Impact Sports to seal properly when I took a combat stance. The 100s stay put and seal well in any moving shooting drills. The spatial awareness in the 100s is outstanding. I knew exactly where any noise was even when I was blindfolded (not while shooting!). I could point out exactly who was where all around me even as people moved around. I could track their movements. The quality of the sound is very close to wearing no ear protection at all (you only seem to lose a bit of the lower frequency sounds, but nothing from mid to high frequency, from regular speech). Few reviews of the Peltor Sport 100s talk about how loud these can get, so I tested them. The volume goes up higher as you turn up the volume knob, but within the range there are 3 levels and these are there to show you how the noise reduction will work. For example, while wearing the 100s and as you turn up the volume to the top of the 1st level (just prior to the beep), all conversations and sound around you are at about the same level as the sound you would hear without wearing them at all. If a loud noise, ie: clap or gunshot is heard, the sound lowers for about 0.6 of a second (tested with a partner using a recorder app showing fractions of a second) and then goes back up after the loud sound is over. If you hear a loud clap, sound is lowered and you can still hear some ambient sound, however, with a shot going off, and therefore a much more harmful sound, the 100s lower the sound completely. At the top of volume level 2, I could hear people in the same volume as wearing no protection at all, while wearing both 32NRR ear pugs and the 100s. This is the range most useful for me, since I shoot large calibre pistol in an indoor range. At this level 2 setting, the delay as described above, goes up to about 1.1 seconds from loud sound to recovery. At the highest setting, you hear a bit louder and can pick up conversations you never would, even while wearing both ear plugs and these ear muffs. However, at this final 3rd setting, the recovery time goes up to about 1.9 seconds. Some people have complained about this "1.5-2 second" recovery time, but keep in mind, if you are using this latter setting, the sound is cranked up quite loud, while wearing BOTH ear plugs and the 100s, than you would be hearing without any ear protection at all. I suffer from a bit of diagnosed hearing loss due to improper hearing protection so you might find the sounds from these Peltor 100s even louder (my wife found each level louder than normal). When I compared these to a friend's HL Impact Sports for a bit, the sound of these got just about as loud as Impact Sports (Impact Sport were a tiny bit louder at max volume), but these were much clearer and the spatial awareness was significantly better (plus the 100s actually fit). These 3M Peltor 100s seem to be made well and look like they will last a while, but only time, and use will tell for sure. There are replacement ear pads that can be purchased for pretty cheap (under $15 CDN) on Amazon, if necessary called: Peltor Sport Ear Cushions Customizeable Ring Kit. Keep in mind that these ear muffs were also tested with the Peltor Securefit 400 shooting glasses which have very nice flat temples/arms which didn't cause any sound leakage. I actually prefer my Smith & Wesson shooting glasses, but the temples/arms on those are a bit thicker and caused a bit of sound leakage. Wearing the Impact Sports, I couldn't get a proper seal with either set of glasses. For those wondering on my opinions about comfort and fit, I have an above average sized head and wore a ball cap while testing. I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, let alone, lengthy ones like this, but I spent a lot of time looking into something I should have done years back (and now have some hearing loss as a result) and just wanted to help anyone else trying to decide amongst the choices out there. So far, very satisfied and impressed with these 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 100s. Sure, they might cost a bit more than the other two I mentioned above, but how much is that hearing aid going to cost you in 10-20 years?
