Howard Leightby Honeywell Leightning L3 Shooting Earmuff (R-03318) , Black

So far good product. I use these for sleeping, not shooting. Like sleeping in a sound-proof chamber. My upstairs neighbors are noisy at night and come home late. Outside traffic noise. I can't hear any of it unless it is super loud. Muffs are comfortable and after a few minutes wearing I don't notice them on my head. The only downside is that I can only sleep on my back, as they are too wide to turn on my side. One minor problem is the rubber seals have a sharp plastic edge on the inside that rubs against my ears and almost feels like it could cut the skin. I solved this by wearing a cloth ear protector cut from the toes of cotton socks. In general I am pleased, and finally getting some needed sound sleep.

I bought this because of the Honeywell brand, it fits well with prescription glasses with protective glasses over those, and the 30 dB noise reduction. It works great at the indoor shooting range.

Use for work good quality

These are very nice, affordable, "no frills" earmuffs for the shooting range. They fold up compactly, fit snugly, seal well around the ears, and dampen gunshots to a comfortable level. I particularly like the soft, thin, flexible headband. It feels more comfortable than some of the thicker plastic bands on other earmuffs I've owned. The muffs are reasonably adjustable for different head sizes. In my case, I need them fully extended to fit well. The noise reduction rating is sufficient to reduce gunfire to a comfortable level, yet mild enough that you can still have a conversation with someone without having to raise your voice very much. I think it's a good balance.One (minor) downside is that you can't leave the earmuffs adjusted to the proper length for your head. You have to compress them back down to the shortest setting in order for the earmuffs to fold up inside the headband properly for compact storage. I don't see this as a problem, but some people may find it irritating. Also, I wonder how long the adjustable wires that attach the earmuffs to the headband will last. They don't seem cheap, but they aren't very robust either. I hope they'll hold up well and have no reason to doubt them yet, but they're small enough that I wonder if they may bend or break over time--especially since they need to be adjusted every time I don or stow these earmuffs. For under $20, it's worth the risk.The earmuffs may also interfere with some safety glasses, depending on the thickness and shape of the frames/sides on your glasses. Mine have very flat sides that fit fairly close to my head and run straight back to my ears, so the earmuffs seal fine over them and around my ear. However, if you wear glasses that have flared or curved sides that stand out from the sides of your head a bit, they may not fit well with these earmuffs, or the cups may not seal around your ear properly.

These are comfortable.I would judge them, in effectiveness, a step below the top-of-the-line heavy duty 3M Peltor X5 earmufs (but the 3M are bigger, have stiffer cushions and look weird).

It's embarrassing but yes, I have a big head. Most ear muffs did not fit well or squeezed too tight, these fit me beautifully and completely covered my ears without pain.The sound proofing is excellent and higher than most you can purchase which is helpful as I am sensitive to sounds. These are not the active headset with batteries and volume control -- I found I do not need that anyways as I can hear my range instructor just fine and. now I don't have to fiddle with my headset trying to find the volume.I recommend these. Well made. Excellent fit. Excellent sound proofing.

Alright, so I had this ear pro and it is really good in terms of comfort. You also get somewhat decent hearing protection when firing guns and it is is slim enough to allow you to mount your guns easily. The foam is recessed inside the ear pro for more room which is why you can wear it for long hours. The cons is that you can get a cheaper pair of walker ear protection muffs which is slimmer due to tapering downwards, has more substantially mlre foam than the howard leight LF2, and will reduce sound much more effectively. These are decent headphones in that if you double up, it will be more comfortable than walkers. However the walkers will be much more quiet.

I've been working around high noise machinery since I was a kid... Now at 50, I've been wearing good hearing protection for decades. I've tried lots of options over the years. Certainly ear plugs work, but I never found them to be comfortable, and I frequently had to deal with phone calls, so I was always having to take one out. Earphones eliminate that issue. Until I found these, probably a decade ago now, I was a fan of the Peltor option in this same dB reduction class. I found the Howard Leight to fit my particular head better. That's not to knock the Peltors, as they did the job just as well, but these just are more comfortable to wear for hours on end. I spend less time around the big noise these days, which is nice, but you can bet I still have a bunch of these phones on hand so they're always nearby.
