Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Howard Leight Impact Sport while shooting a rifle or shotgun?
Yes. The Impact Sport features low-profile earcup housings specifically designed to minimize interference with a rifle or shotgun stock when shouldering the firearm. This makes it one of the most popular electronic earmuffs among long-gun shooters for both hunting and clay sports.
How does the sound amplification work, and is it safe?
The Impact Sport uses built-in stereo microphones to capture and amplify ambient sounds — such as range commands, conversation, and environmental cues — up to four times louder than normal. When the microphones detect noise at or above 82 dB (the threshold associated with hearing damage), the electronics instantly switch to passive earmuff mode, blocking the sound mechanically. This gives you the best of both worlds: hearing what you need to hear, and blocking what could hurt you.
How long do the batteries last, and does the unit turn off automatically?
The Impact Sport runs on two standard AAA batteries and is rated for up to 350 hours of use. It also features an automatic 4-hour power-off function to preserve battery life when you forget to turn it off after a session. A low-battery indicator alerts you before you're left without power.
