Very good for inside shooting

I used these at the shooting range with my brother in laws and man were these awesome. We only had one pair, and each of us were asking for another use of them the whole day. They do a fairly good job picking up noise and returning to that setting, and did a good job keeping out sound. We shot everything from 9mm to ar-16. There was even a .50cal rifle down the lane and these did a pretty good job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost perfect... Almost

I purchased the tactical 300s about two months ago.
Most recently I used them on a Firearms Instructor Course involving 12+ hour days over two weeks, firing thousands of rounds a day.
Throughout the week I only had to change batteries once despite having the unit turned on all day every day.
We were on an outdoor range at a repurposed gravel pit and shot outside rain or shine. There were a few days of heavy rain. The rain or gravel didn't affect them at all.
Voice was clear and hearing protection was great through 9mm, 5.56, 12 gauge and .308 fire.
My only criticism is sometimes if bumped around while turned off you sometimes need to open the battery door and move the batteries slightly to get the unit to power on.
Other than that one small issue, they are great.

First class killed them

I took a pair that held up well to range use to a 3 day class. Now, the power button won't work. Not good for high volume users.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pretty good hearing protectors!

I bought the Peltor 300 product a month ago and have been using them every week. I chose the 300 unit over the 500 because I have no need for Bluetooth capability. I did have some difficulty figuring out the settings, but once I did, they worked well. I do have to agree somewhat with Codger's review (below) in that they don't seem to give as much noise reduction as I expected. Indoors shooting 9mm handguns in training classes, the noise did not seem much reduced. At the lowest setting, the gun noise was okay but voices were a little difficult to understand.
However, during a carbine class I found that the noise of the 5.56mm short barreled guns was very effectively reduced. The hearing protectors seem more effective as the noise level increases. All in all, I think they work pretty well and I would recommend this product highly.

Peltor Sport Tactical 300

Non-electronic hearing protection very good. Amplification of ambient noise almost as good, in some ways better, than a unit I paid 3 times as much for 30 years ago. The negative issue for me is the reduction in gunshot volume when the electronics are active. It's simply inadequate. I'm not sure what the decibel level is, but less than 80 db is what we should be getting. I couldn't find any specifications for actual active sound reduction. I shouldn't have ringing ears after a few rounds of 9mm in the great outdoors (minimum volume setting).
I had issues accessing the setup menu. I did finally manage to do so. Turning Dynamic Suppression off actually eliminated echos and some other issues when firing a pistol. Which isn't what's supposed to happen. Sound level reduction is still inadequate.
Would I recommend the product? Depends upon the intended use. I can't picture using this product for a match or other extended shooting session involving other shooters. Qualified yes.........
One of the reasons I purchased this product is my experience with your prescription protective safety glasses. They're outstanding. Unfortunately, this is less so.

Utterly useless.
on September 3, 2024
Posted by: Mike in Idaho
Due to the sound levels in which I operate, I have to use earplugs in addition to muffs for sufficient hearing protection. The old Peltor MT16H210F-479-SV had a voice amplification circuit that allowed me to hear range commands over the ear plugs. These new Sport/Tac 300 muffs have a voice amplification circuit that is only 1/2 as loud at max volume, so I can't hear range commands, and that makes them utterly useless.
Way to go 3M in taking a previously great product and turning it into a piece of junk!

Game changing shooting experience.

The ability to hear someone speaking in both a hunting environment and the Range Master while blocking the loud pops of a firearm are amazing. I started with the Sport Tactical 100 and loved them so much I immediately bought the Sport Tactical 300 so when my son & I dove hunt, we both get to enjoy this revolutionary tech.

These seem to better control gunshot noise versus the other brand I've been using.
