Max volume too low for use with ear plugs.
on April 26, 2023
Posted by: UL45
I bought the Sport Tactical to replace my old Peltor Tactical that are 20 plus years old and still working fine. I shoot competition and double up with ear plugs and earmuffs. At high volume, I can easily understand the range commands with my old hearing protectors but not my Sport Tactical 500s. This makes them equal to non electronic hearing protectors. I bought the 500s based on the outstanding performance and durability of my old Peltor Tacticals but I am very disappointed. Also, I thought that I was purchasing the best, also I can't fin any specs on volume making it difficult to find a replacement. I have used my old Peltor Tactical for the last two matches. Still looking for a quality replacement.

Poor Hinges
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: RyanAF
from Maine
Similar to some other customers pictures, my sport tactical 500's broke at a hings and now will not stay tight to the ear. The set has a reasonably low on and off count. Great set of ears for the indoor range before they broke. The break seems to be a result of poor design and cheap plastic parts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Piece of junk

It worked great for about 2 years. Now it still works technically
, but a cheap piece of broken plastic has made it impossible to wear. Many reviewers have had this same problem.

Terrible Head band Very Uncofortable

The Headband is so cheap and plastic that it scratches your head. Wearing a hat is a must just to try and improve comfort.

Power button failure
on May 2, 2020
Posted by: PaulD
from Laurel, MD
I wouldn't have expected this one. They work fine, when they can be turned on. They've decided to now turn on intermittently.. Not really acceptable at the range. I've been using these with my MantisX with great success at the range, then.. the headphones have decided that they only want to turn on some of the time. Not good..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a product review. It did not disappoint. Exactly as advertised. It would be money well spent.

Excellent for shooting indoors or out
on May 11, 2020

My GF gave me these for Christmas. have been using now for about 5 months, and really like how the headphones suppress gunshots while allowing a conversation to happen when not shooting without removing the headset. Excellent quality product.

Excellent ear pro, worth the price
on May 18, 2020
Posted by: BigMike
from Riverside, CA
I shoot firearms frequently and have ear pro on for a long duration when I shoot. I've gone through at least 8 different sets of electronic ears and this is by far the best.
Pros: very comfortable, excellent noise reduction, great clarity of non-muted sounds, rechargeable battery holds charge for long periods and operates for long periods while in use. Simple, easy to use controls. The bluetooth feature is just gravy.
Cons: on the bulky side. If you have problems shooting rifles with large ear pro this wont be for you. If you are using ear pro for tactical shooting/ops this is probably too bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!
