Howard Leight by Honeywell Leightning L0F Folding Ultraslim Shooting Earmuff (R-01523), Black

I have been using this ear muff for several months now and they are great. The only concern I had at the time was with the low NRR rating, but since I have a way around it for my purposes, it wasn't a deal breaker. And besides, the price was so affordable that I wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work out. For my purposes, I use this ear muff whenever I go out to the range (indoor and outdoor). To get around the low NRR I use double hearing protection which means I use a disposable ear plug with the ear muff over it. I can still hear the range master since they use a PA system all the while I'm avoiding serious hearing damage (from both the PA system and the gun sounds). But the main reason why I bought this style ear muff (other than it was from Howard Leight) was that at the time my older one was just too bulky. It was great at blocking noise, but it made it such that I couldn't get a low cheek weld on my rifle's butt stock. This meant having to raise the sights needlessly. As a rule of thumb, you want your scope as low and close to the barrel as possible. Since this ear muff is about half the thickness of my older one, it allowed me get a low cheek weld and also allowed me to put the scope much closer to the barrel. In addition this ear muff is really light weight, looks good, and not as tight as I expected it to be. You do want to be a little careful when extending/retracting the ear muffs from the head band since the steel frame used to connect the muffs to the headband is thin. I always feel like I might inadvertently bend or break it. Also, I bought a pair of Radians Clay Pro Shooting Glasses which has a really thin wireframe. This helps in eliminating any tightness around the ears for those of you who find wearing this ear muff with your existing shooting glass uncomfortable. Now there's one cautionary note. If you are going to be in close proximity to large caliber gunfire (especially indoors) or around sound that is about or over 160 decibels, this ear muff may not be sufficient for you unless you use ear plugs along with this. Other than that, this is a great buy.

I bought these Howard Leight LOF earmuffs after using a cheap pair of another brand for many years. Makes all the difference in the world! These earmuffs are well made and lightweight. They fit my head gently and well. The old ear muffs squeezed my head and ears. Gave me a light headache. No one in my family wanted to wear them. The slim profile of these LOF earmuffs help them to be lightweight and compact and interfere less with the stock when shooting a rifle. If you wear them during outdoor shooting, the lower noise reduction of the earmuffs is fine. However, I recommend using ear plugs with the earmuffs if you are shooting at an indoor range. I bought a pair of Howard Leight L3 earmuffs for use at an indoor range because they have a higher noise reduction rating. They are equally comfortable and tame the harsh noise at an indoor range. The price of the earmuffs is great and Amazon Prime free shipping makes it a great value. I wish I had bought these LOF earmuffs a long time ago... I'll be buying another pair or two in the near future.

I bought these for my girlfriend to take to the shooting range becuase she is not a fan of the noise. She wore them along with a pair of in ear buds for added protection. She said they were OK but it's tough to go on that because she didn't like the sound initially anyways. I can say that I put them on without additionally ear plugs while a 9mm and .40cal were being fired and I have to be honest, I wouldn't wear only these to the range. It was a new indoor area so I wasn't really used to the acoustics in there a whole lot compared to my usual range so that may have played a part. Don't get me wrong, they definitely functioned in dampening the sound. They would absolutely work if you had nothing else, but from my brief encounter they wouldn't be the first ear protection I own that I would reach for. That being said, I am sure they work fine with additional ear plugs in. I must say they are very comfortable, sleek profile and everything. They fold up into a very nice neat package which is great. I am a bit nervous about breaking the small metal wire though when I adjust them, but it hasn't happened yet so whatever. All in all they are good so far and I won't be sending them back. Get them if you are considering it.

I purchased these for use while shooting sporting clays and with my AR15. For shotgun, they are plenty, but I was initially concerned that with only a 23NRR that they wouldnt be enough for the AR. So far, they seem just fine though. While shooting the AR outdoors and with a buddy next to me with a .40 pistol, they protected my ears pretty well. Note that this was outdoors, so indoors might be a different situation. They are indeed a slim profile and I only bumped against them a few times, but it didnt effect my cheek weld one bit. Comfort was great, I wore them for about and hour and a half straight and didn't have any discomfort. They fold up nice and compact as well, maybe a tad bigger than a 12ga 25ct box of 3" shells. I also brought these to work for use indoors in machinery spaces. I found their performance to be a little lacking there, tolerable for short periods, but you could do better for longer durations. Then again these are shooting muffs, so they are a bit out of their niche for that purpose and it shouldnt count against them.

I’ve owned these for 9 years (purchased in 2017), working in a datacenter. They have held up over time and block the sound pretty well while still letting me be aware of surroundings and people. After 9 years the band is starting to peel, but I’d say that’s an excellent run. I think the pad has started to become more stiff over time, but that’s expected. Still works great.

Excellent design and construction. Can wear in public with out looking weird because they look like high quality head phones. Folds up compact in my book bag. My use: studying/law school Fit: Normal size head. Read some reviews about being small, but I do not think so. Will fit an average size head. Don't worry, unless your head is like Shrek. Comfortable and light. I think they will fit better once they are broken in. Performance: not completely silent, can still hear background noise, what this product does is level out all of the sounds from highs to lows and muffles them. I study a lot in coffee shops where alarms are going off and the product is excellent at eliminating high freq noises as well as taking out that one person's voice that cuts through the background noise. Would not recommend for shooting if you have sensitive ears, but good for house work.

I pretty much knew this as I was buying them, but this was a case where fashion over function got the best of me. I love the compact size of these ears, but at the indoor range, the noise reduction was not great (not poor either). I may have to wear ear plugs with them, but aside from that, they are very comfortable, easily adjustable, and did not hurt my ears or give me a headache after wearing them for an hour. Great price, and I imagine good for people that prefer a slim earmuff for firing a rifle. I am not dissatisfied with these ears and I will continue to use them.

These were purchased to cut down the level of noise when I till my soil using a gas powered tiller. Once you get a solid fit you will be protected. They are also easy to clean with a micro fiber towel. I got the black and they look sleek and stylish. Lawn cutting season is coming and I plan on using them then as well. Other people buy them for firearm related activities so they are versatile for many people. Its a purchase that you will make once and will end up keeping for many years and using for various tasks. Can't go wrong with buying something like that. Photos if product after one use and wiped down.

Compré estos cascos aislantes para "apagar" el ruido de conversaciones a mi alrededor en la oficina sin gastarme mucho (no suelo escuchar música). Si estás pensando comprarlos para eso, piénsatelo. Aunque aíslan bastante el ruido de fondo, la conversación se sigue oyendo claramente, así que no ayuda nada a concentrarte. Para concentrarte lo que necesitas es justo lo contrario: tener un sonido de fondo suave que tape las conversaciones. Yo lo que hago es usar unos auriculares pequeños (in-ear) con música suave o sonidos(...)y me pongo estos encima, con resultados mucho mejores. Cons: - Aíslan el ruido de fondo y dejan pasar las conversaciones, aunque muy atenuadas. Se entiende perfectamente lo que dice la gente a tu alrededor, así que no ayuda nada a concentrarse. - Aprietan bastante, por lo que te pueden acabar doliendo las orejas. Esto se atenúa un poco con el uso y puedes "forzar" un poco la diadema para que apriete menos. Lógicamente, a menos presión, algo menos de aislamiento. - Si llevas gafas, el aislamiento será ligeramente menor (aunque sigue siendo bueno) debido a que las patillas dejan entrar sonido. Pros: + Bien construidos, resistentes y fáciles de reparar. + Son fáciles de adaptar a tu cabeza. + Muy ligeros, súper compactos y muy fáciles de transportar en viajes. + No son aparatosos y el diseño es elegante, los puedes llevar en cualquier lado como auriculares normales, y nadie te mira raro. Si acaso, con algo de envidia ;) + Funcionan bien en el avión, quitando el ruido de los motores y atenuando las voces. + Para lo que cuestan, bien merecen la pena aunque sólo te sirvan en algunas situaciones.

A cost-effective pair of earphones that you won't be embarrassed to wear. When you're 64 your grandchildren will have these to thank that they don't need to scream at you. Highly recommended.

Belle esteticamente comode e soprattutto sottili al poligono svolgono egregiamente il loro lavoro anche sparando con calibri pesanti sempre usato tappi perché consideravo le cuffie scomode per queste ho fatto un eccezione ......... il servizio vendita e spedizione Amazon come sempre impeccabile !!

This product arrived on time as expected. I use it for ear protection at the firing range and it does an excellent job. it is very comfortable over the ears and does not interfere with eyeglasses. The noise suppression is excellent yet conversations are easily understood. Good price and good bang for the buck. Highly recommended.

I am aircraft technician. Wearing ear protection is a must due to loud sound of engine running. The size of the ear muff is small and compatible to bring along during the work. !!! But only the problem is it cannot cut the loud sound of engine run. I need to put on ear plugs in together with the Howard Leight. It is not the same quality as last time I bought it during 2016. The quality lesser than the previous one I bought. I feel disappointed.
