[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1714056, member: 105"] There are at least 2 models of Howard Leight electronic earmuffs and the one I'm now interested in is the "Howard Leight by Honeywell Impact Pro High Noise Reduction Rating Sound Amplification Electronic Shooting Earmuff for Indoor and Covered Ranges or Other Extremely Loud Shooting Environments (R-01902)" [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BGSI5U/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] These have an NRR of 30 which is very high for electronic muffs at least from what I've found but sound amplification is not good at all for the hunter wanting to hear better. The Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs only have an NRR rating of 22 which is waaaaaay less if you've ever tried both in the same day. I believe that my old Peltor Tac 7 muffs have an NRR of 29 which is very good but they've been discontinued for several years. The new Peltor Tac 500's are pretty good with an NRR rating of 26 which is ok for hunting but not enough for me at a range. They DO have bluetooth which is great if you're wanting to listen to music or whatever else from your phone without disturbing game but the amplification of outside noises is barely better than normal hearing gets you which for my damaged hearing is inadequate. The old Tac 7s can be turned up to where normal sounds are almost painful but you can hear a gnat fart at 600 yards and for hunting that can be a huge plus. [/QUOTE]
