Reviews & Ratings for PELTOR Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protection Ear Muffs w/Bluetooth — 23 reviews — Page 1

The hearing protection works great and is very comfortable on your head! You can hear everyone around you with the hearing protection on. The shot is muffled by the head set.

I have pruchased plenty of hearing protection headphones and earbuds, from dewalt, to axil, and even some Amazon products, none come close to this! The only co.n would be that taking the batteries out can be a little difficult, but it’s a small price to pay web it comes to protecting your hearing. I wingwalk planes in the airport.

These are very comfortable. I'm buying a pair for my husband.

I shoot a lot. I own many various Peltor earmuffs. I needed a new set, so I ponied-up and bought these very expensive earmuffs, thinking they would be great. They are not. I have been using them for well over 6 months. I emailed Peltor (3M) and was told: send them back, we will check them out and replace them if defective. Sure
1) the headband is very hard and uncomfortable --- a really bad design
2) the noise reduction is no where near what they say it is. I find I often take them off and use one of my older Peltor muffs
3) they were very expensive
4) the ear muffs are not gel-filled. They are not nearly as comfortable as gel-filled (which some of my other Peltors are)
5) they do not amplify voice very well. I can easily hear other people talking --- with other earmuffs. Not with these
6) customer support was pathetic.
So, would I recommend these --- not a chance. Try any other Peltor or other Mfr's ear muffs first
I will admit, I did not buy them at Opticsplanet, I bought them from another vendor. But I resolved to not let others make my mistake. I have no doubt Opticsplanet would have stood by them and accepted a return ---- my tough luck, don't let it be yours.

Very comfortable and easy to bluetooth. They worked great for me at the range. I connected my phone to it and that was the easiest way to change the settings to get the right one. The gunshot was blocked but conversations were no problem.

They are very comfortable and work very well. As far as tactical, I love the Bluetooth connection because it allows for communication between yourself and another. Very useful. �� When wearing them, you can amplify surrounding input like how a hearing aid would work making it great for situational awareness. Mics are clear. It really does mute things when firing your tool yet allows for still hearing what's going on around you. Great Purchase.

One of if not the best hearing protection i have used indoors...can hear people talking clearly...can adjust volume and listen to music...can still hear great with mulit guns going off at once...peltor has outdone themselves...i own the 300 and 500

I haven't used these much yet, just tested them out when they arrived. The bluetooth hooked up easily but there is a crackle sound every time I push "buttons" on the phone. Kind of annoying. Also not particularly confidence inspiring is following the link here to do a review and seeing they are freshly discontinued by the manufacturer.

Great product and I got a Great price at OpticsPlanet. I've been looking at these for awhile and decided to go with this model because of the blue tooth feature. I can also wear these while I cut the grass and not get the ear bud wiring caught on anything. OpticsPlanet was by far the best price.

Many features for the price. I was looking for a replacement for some older "around the head" tactical muffs. Haven't had "over the head" style protectors for some time. No longer a SWAT guy and didn't need a lower profile design. With that being said, these are still fairly sleek for everything packed into them. So far I'm pleased. They are a little heavy for all day use, but with the added electronics I guess that can be expected.
