The Howard Leight Impact Sport is ideal for recreational and competitive shooters, hunters, and tactical training enthusiasts who need to hear range commands, conversation, and environmental cues while still protecting their hearing from gunfire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Howard Leight Impact Sport for both indoor and outdoor shooting?
Yes. The Impact Sport is designed to perform in both environments. Its 22 dB NRR provides solid passive protection against the sharp, concussive blasts typical of indoor ranges, while the stereo amplification microphones shine outdoors by letting you hear game sounds, range commands, and fellow shooters clearly. For indoor use with high-caliber rifles or pistols, some shooters prefer to double up with foam earplugs underneath for additional protection.
Will the low-profile ear cups interfere with my rifle stock when shouldering the firearm?
Howard Leight specifically engineered the Impact Sport with slim, low-profile ear cups to minimize interference with rifle stocks and shotgun cheek welds. Most users find they can achieve a proper cheek weld and sight picture without the earmuffs shifting or breaking their shooting form. They are compatible with a wide range of long guns as well as standard shooting glasses.
How long do the batteries last, and does the unit turn off automatically?
The Impact Sport runs on two AAA batteries and is rated for approximately 350 hours of use — well over a full season of range sessions for most shooters. The unit features a convenient auto shut-off function that powers down the electronics after 4 hours of inactivity, helping to extend battery life significantly and preventing accidental drain between uses.
