Awesome product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these free, and I'm so glad I did. I have two other brands of electronic hearing protection and these are my new favorite. The sound is great. The ear cups are super comfortable, and the band has a spot for the knob on the top of baseball caps to fit in so it doesn't dig into your head.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protector was given to me from 3M to test and review. This is definitely my go to product for hearing protection. It cuts down on sound a lot and also very comfortable and lightweight. The ear padding is good and the headwear is not bulky. It has clear sound and very durable. One thing that could improve would be the plastic that coats the padding. I can see it eventually cracking in the future as it reminds me of what is used on other headsets. So far it has been fantastic.

Some good. Some not so good features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Good sound reduction, clear audio of human voices.
Cons: Needs LED on/off indicator so you can verify they are off when not on your head, needs more adjustment for larger heads (too small), couldn't get blue tooth to connect to phone.

Works Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product for free to review from 3M. I have always hesitated to purchase electronic hearing protectors because of the off-chance they they would fail and my hearing would be damaged because of it. After using this product, I do not have that worry anymore! This product is very comfortable and works as stated. I also enjoy the fact that I can Bluetooth to my phone and listen to music. It makes for a fun, worry-free day at the range!

Worked great until they broke

Loved these hearing protection muffs. They were comfortable and did a great job. Unfortunately what seems to be a common problem happened to me. The plastic cover that hold the metal wire broke. It has screws to remove and replace, but it seems like there are no replacement parts available.....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good features, uncomfortable headband.
on May 17, 2023

from Manassas, Virginia
Just bought this, and my initial impression is that the feature set is great, and the hearing protection seems like it will be great, but the headband is quite uncomfortable. It's not bad enough that I want to send it back, because I'm hoping that the noise reduction will be better than other sound-powered muffs that I have which all require earplugs as well when shooting long guns. (I have a set of unpowered Peltors which are my go-to muffs when I want comfort and protection - but they have no audio so my ability to hear what's going on around me is poor.). My fix on the headband: I cut out a patch of flexible closed-cell foam - it's from a bit of packing material - just a few mm thick. When I put this under the headband on by almost bald head it provides enough protection from the band that I think it will work. Likewise, when place the same patch inside of my hat (which has that little metal button on the inside that the band smashes down into my scalp when I put the headset on over the hat) it provides enough protection that I think it will work there as well. SO - hopefully peltor will get the hint and add a thin layer of padding - I think that's all it will take. I believe they are trying to design the muffs to work with hats which most of us probably use at the range and hunting; a good consideration, but they haven't gotten it right yet. For my part, I also think I'll get a hat w/out that metal button at the top (as many 'ballcap' style hats have).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happy with noise reduction
on August 15, 2023
Posted by: Bobby tractor
I’ve had these for 8 months. Mostly shot trap, skeet etc but use for long guns also.
1-they suppress sound very well and I would buy them again
2-they could certainly be more comfortable.
3-there is a power plug in the one ear. Is this to recharge a rechargeable battery?
