Frequently Asked Questions
How does the automatic noise cutoff feature work?
The Howard Leight Impact Sport DLX uses advanced electronic circuitry to continuously monitor ambient sound levels. When noise reaches 82 dB or above — such as a gunshot — the earmuff instantly switches from amplification mode to passive hearing protection mode, blocking harmful sound levels. Once the loud noise subsides, it returns to amplifying ambient sounds so you can continue to hear range commands and conversations clearly.
Can I use these earmuffs with a rifle or long gun without interference?
Yes. The Impact Sport DLX features a low-profile earcup design specifically engineered to minimize contact with a rifle stock during cheek weld. This makes it a popular choice among rifle shooters and competitive marksmen who need hearing protection that doesn't interfere with their shooting form or sight picture.
Can I connect my phone or radio to these earmuffs?
Absolutely. The Impact Sport DLX includes a 3.5mm auxiliary audio input jack, allowing you to connect a smartphone, MP3 player, two-way radio, or other audio device. Audio from the connected device is played through the earcups at a safe volume level, making it easy to receive radio communications or listen to audio while staying protected on the range.
