   – Great design
   – Great fit
   – Good build
   – Great feature where it will shut off after a day of forgetting to turn it off. To prevent battery drainage

   Working in law enforcement has reinforced the notion that quality hearing protection is essential. Now you could go spend your hard earned money on $300+ premium military contractor earpro (ear protection), or you could devote all that extra cash to range day brass. I run these earpro in my duty gear as well as when I go to the range on my personal time. The speakers enhance the noises around you and I can say that I can hear quieter noises better with these. The speakers seem to have directional microphones so you be specially aware and tell exactly where around you the sound is coming from (not sure why it’s not advertised as having such feature). I reccomend these to everyone and I bought the gel earpad replacements for a more comfortable fit as I wear these earpro prescription glasses. I reccomend these to all my buddies/coworkers who are looking for a quality pair. AAA batteries are included.

   I’m reviewing three range headphones, side-by-side, to help you make an informed decision: – Howard Leight Impact Sports by Honeywell Model R-01526 ($52.92, NRR: 22 db) – Walker’s Razor Slim Model GWP-RSEM ($39.08, NRR: 23 db) – Gloryfire Model M8056T ($26.90, NRR: 25 db) Below, I’ve ordered earmuffs from highest to lowest in my assessment of performance per dimension/characteristic. I’m not advocating for you to buy one over another, just trying to provide info. I’m not sponsored to do this, I paid for each of these three products myself out of pocket. ————————————————– COMFORT #1: Walkers: Deep cups with thick pads, does not press down on eye pro (safety glasses), comfortable after 20+ minutes. On the other hand, there is a high level of resistance when opening, putting on, and adjusting. #2: Gloryfire: Has thick pads, but is uncomfortable for the first few minutes because the headband pulls down onto your head. If you adjust to have more room, the cups just slide down you ears. You get used to it quickly though and you stop noticing it within a few minutes. Easy to open and adjust. #3: Howard Leights: Thin pads, difficult to get them to sit right over your ear and eye pro with no air leakage. Either they lift off the bottom of your ear, or you have to make the band so high it doesn’t actually rest on your head/hat. Uncomfortable on the ear as soon as you put them on, but doesn’t hurt the top of your head. Your ear contacts the felt inside the earmuff, which explains why they have “hygiene kits” to replace them. Otherwise, easy to open and adjust. ————————————————– DAMPENING #1: Howard Leights: When volume is off, they have great decibel reduction. When sound is on, they immediately cut to a safe level when you are shooting. #2: Walkers: When volume is off, they have ok (but not great) decibel reduction. When sound is on, they immediately cut to a safe level when you are shooting. #3: Gloryfire: When volume is off, they have great decibel reduction, but when sound is on, they are not that good — you can hear the start of a blast before dampening kicks in and to my ears at least, they don’t seem to dampen as much. ————————————————– AUDIO QUALITY WHEN ON begrudgingly, #1: Howard Leights: Extremely good fidelity of sound. There is some lag when you turn them on or adjust the volume, but the audio is very good. Input microphones are covered in a felt that protrudes past the plane of the earpiece, could get snagged and will certainly collect dust if out in the wild. #2: Walkers: Sound fidelity is very good, but after a few months, the left headphone cut out completely. Input microphones are covered in a protective metal mesh that sits flush with the plane of the earphone cup, which is a great design. #3: Gloryfire: Fidelity and volume of the sound is not good. Whereas in a quiet room with the other two, you can hear an analog clock ticking in the next room, these barely make out voices. Out of the box, the right ear was noticeably quieter than the left. At higher volumes, I can hear low level static. When playing with music even at full volume for both the media player and the earphones, the sound is relatively quiet (though possibly loud enough for listening to tunes on a range, didn’t actually try that). ————————————————– VOLUME ADJUST AND AUDIO CABLE INPUT #1: Walkers: Volume knob is in an intuitive place and protrudes slightly, so it is easy to find when wearing. Knob is oriented vertically so up means louder (intuitive) and it is very responsive. Input port is also oriented vertically which is convenient. Only drawback is that the input port has a rubber plug that falls out and yet is very difficult to get back into the hole. #2: Gloryfire: Volume knob is in an intuitive place but does not protrude, so there is a little fumbling at first until you get used to where it is. Adjustments are fairly responsive. The input port is located on the edge and is easy to find, plus it has a kind of collar which makes it easy to plug into without taking them off. #3: Howard Leights: Unlike the other two, the volume knob is oriented perpendicularly, so adjustments require left-right turning which is not intuitive. Because the knob is located at the edge of the phone, it’s easy to find. As previously said, there is a a lag when adjusting the sound. The input port is also located on the edge and is pretty easy to find when wearing. Picks up electromagnetic static from a phone when plugged in, which is annoying. ————————————————– COMPACTNESS FOR STORAGE #1: Howard Leights: Collapses easily into a nice, tight form. #2: Gloryfire: Collapses easily into a tight form, but are slightly bulkier than Howard Leights. a distant #3: Walkers: When collapsing, one or both cups do not slide in and you have to fiddle with it to get it collapsed. Pads only make contact at the top, compressing the pads unevenly when not in use. ————————————————– DESIGN AND APPEARANCE #1: Walkers: Sleek, angled design with no curved lines or bulk. Very modern. Wires protrude vertically from the battery cover so replacing batteries doesn’t make you worry about clipping the wire. #2: tie: Howard Leights and Gloryfire have nearly identical lines, and are in my opinion kind of ugly. The wires both protrude out from a corner of the phone and get in the way of the battery cover when changing out batteries. ————————————————– One last thing to note: Gloryfire states in big, bold letters “US Brand Quality” but they are manufactured in China, just designed in the US. Seems intentionally misleading. For me, I am returning the Gloryfires because the sound in the left ear is quiet, my Walkers crapped out after a few months, and the Impacts are what several of the ROs at the range I go to wear — haven’t had them long enough to gauge their reliability.

   Peso non eccessivo, comfort ed efficacia.
   Le 3 caratteristiche fondamentali ci sono.
   Dopo un trauna acustico, ho bisogno di qualcosa che mi protegga senza “isolarmi fuori dal mondo”.
   Della varie cuffie attive viste in giro, ho provato queste spinto dalla qualità del brand.
   Devo dire di aver fatto la scelta giusta.
   Garantiscono aderenza e compressione adeguate senza risultare scomode o dolorose.
   La consistenza dei tamponi è ideale, e le dimensioni generose fanno si che avvolgano anche orecchie generose come le mie.
   La timbrica dei suoni e delle voci riprodotti è molto naturale e l’attenuazione dei rumori più forti è sempre ottima.
   Costano sicuramente qualcosa in più rispetto ad altri prodotti, ma secondo me ne vale la pena!

   I’m comparing these to walker razors as they’re a similar spec and similar price. In terms of electronics and clarity of audio passthrough these are the clear winner. The audio sounds like you’re not even wearing headphones. Razor audio quality is very poor by comparison.

   In terms of hearing protection, the razors win. These are suitable for any kind of outdoor activities, but step into an indoor range, and the lack of sound dampening is very apparent. Certainly enough dampening to prevent hearing damage, but it can get close to discomfort in audio levels. I took them apart and added foam out of cheap passive earmuffs and it improved it greatly. The dampening is very close to razors with the added foam, but I don’t think they can ever beat razors due to the design. The plastic ring that clips the ear pads to the actual cup seems to be a weak point that will always leak sound into the headset, limiting how much sound suppression can actually be achieved.

   Smidiga att ha med sig och dämpar bra.
   Trycker lite hårt efter långvarigt användande. Kuddarna kunde varit något mjukare.

   This has been a great headset: comfortable, adjustable and quiet. I prefer wearing my earplugs under the headset for additional protection, as I’ve found the sound reduction through the mic is not low enough for my preference. The in-line jack is a very cool feature as well. This headset folds up nicely, reducing is space profile by at least one half. For the price you just can’t beat it. The batteries last and last too. This headset performed well above my expectations.
