Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these earmuffs for both pistol and rifle shooting?
Yes. The Howard Leight Impact Sport is well-suited for both pistol and rifle shooting. Its low-profile earcup design is specifically contoured to minimize interference with a rifle stock, helping you maintain a consistent cheek weld and proper sight alignment without the earmuff getting in the way.
How does the sound amplification work, and will I still hear range commands?
The Impact Sport uses dual stereo microphones to amplify ambient sounds — including voices, range commands, and alarms — at up to four times their natural volume. When a loud noise like a gunshot exceeds 82 dB, the earmuff instantly switches to passive protection mode to block the harmful sound, then returns to amplification mode immediately after. This means you stay connected to your environment between shots without sacrificing hearing safety.
How long do the batteries last, and does the unit turn itself off?
The Impact Sport runs on two standard AAA batteries, which typically provide approximately 350 hours of use. The unit also features a built-in automatic shut-off that activates after four hours of continuous use, helping to conserve battery life and ensuring the earmuff is ready when you need it most.
