Reviews - Peltor Tactical 7S Classic Headband, NRR 24 dB MT1H7A Reviews - PL-HP-MT1H7A

Author: tjhess74 from North Charleston on Sep 17, 2011
Pros:  Great seal, easy battery change, heavy duty, instant noise reduction, easy on/off-volume operation
Cons:  Due to it's full size they do not fold up, the downside to the great seal is that the headband is very tight and can be uncomfortable after sometime with sunglasses, will not fit under military helmets
Would recommend:  yes

I am currently in Afghanistan and needed some ear protection that was more versitle. plugs dont work when passing information verbally, and you dont want to go without, so these are the answer! They are amazing! You can choose your amplification level with the volume control and upon any loud sound, it instantly goes silent and quickly back to normal! I cannot recommend these enough...for war or the range!

I get amplification of weak sounds, blocks out loud noises and it has a neat stereo sound. I wish I had one like this many years ago.

This is a great product that does as advertised. Shuts out gun fire sound while allowing conversation and ambient sound. Would be an improvement to have an auto shut down. When left on the 9 V battery drains quickly. The on-off switch can easily be turned on by accident. For example, when stuffing in your range bag and rubbing against something. Keep spare batteries at hand.

Worked very well at a recent 4 day defensive handgun class. If I had known better I would have bought the behind the head set. A little pricey compared to some of the competition but did the job fine.

Pros:  Comfortable, amplifies weak sounds nicely, sufficient ear protection for a day at the range.
Cons:  Haven't found any yet.
Would recommend:  yes

Well made and they do the job they were designed to do. You can easily hear normal conversation, range commands, etc. I found the time it took to return to amplifying sound after a shot was acceptable. I'd recommend these to anyone.
