3M Peltor Sport Tactical 100 Electronic Hearing Protector — NRR 22 dB Shooting Earmuffs

3M Peltor™ Sport Tactical 100 Electronic Hearing Protector｜NRR 22 dB｜Indoor / Outdoor Range · Hunting · Training

Engineered for the range and the field, the 3M Peltor™ Sport Tactical 100 uses smart electronics to compress impulse noise from gunshots while amplifying low-level ambient sound (voices, range commands, environmental cues). With a certified NRR 22 dB, Variable Suppression Time to tame indoor echoes, and Adaptive Frequency Response to reduce background hum, it strikes the right balance between hearing protection and situational awareness. A low-profile earcup aids a clean cheek weld on rifles/shotguns, while the padded, adjustable headband keeps all-day comfort. Powered by 2 × AAA (not included) with auto shut-off and a low-battery indicator.

• NRR 22 dB Hearing Protection
  When properly fitted, the Tactical 100 delivers 22 dB Noise Reduction Rating against hazardous impulse noise to help prevent hearing damage from repeated gunfire.
  
  
• Electronic Gain + Impulse Noise Compression
  Intelligent circuitry reacts instantly to muzzle blast while enhancing ambient audio during normal conditions so you can hear range commands and partners clearly.
  
  
• Variable Suppression Time
  Tunable suppression duration helps reduce harsh indoor reverberation at the shooting bay; shorten outdoors to preserve more environmental detail.
  
  
• Adaptive Frequency Response
  Filters out steady background noise (wind, HVAC, equipment hum) and clarifies voice frequencies for cleaner communication.
  
  
• Rifle-Friendly, All-Day Comfort
  Low-profile cups minimize stock interference; the cushioned, adjustable headband distributes pressure evenly and remains comfortable with eyewear.
  
  
• Power & Runtime Essentials
  Runs on 2 × AAA (not included) with a 2-hour auto shut-off and low-battery alert to prevent accidental drain.

FAQ

1. What does NRR 22 dB mean? Is it enough for an indoor range?
   NRR is the lab-tested Noise Reduction Rating. Properly worn, 22 dB suits most handgun/rifle use. For braked rifles, magnum calibers, or highly reflective indoor bays, use double protection (earmuffs + earplugs).
   
   
2. Why choose electronic hearing protection over passive muffs?
   Electronics compress gunshot noise while preserving speech and environmental sounds, improving safety and communication. Passive muffs block broadly and can limit awareness.
   
   
3. How does Variable Suppression Time help?
   In echo-prone indoor ranges, slightly longer suppression can reduce repeated reflections; outside, shorter suppression keeps more natural sound cues.
   
   
4. Will the cups interfere with a rifle or shotgun stock?
   The low-profile earcups are designed to minimize interference with the comb/stock. Adjust headband height and cheek weld to avoid contact.
   
   
5. Does it have Bluetooth or ANC?
   No. This is electronic hearing protection focused on impulse compression and voice enhancement—not a Bluetooth headset or consumer ANC headphone.
   
   
6. How long do the batteries last? What if I forget to power off?
   Runtime varies with volume and usage. The 2-hour auto shut-off helps prevent drain, and the low-battery indicator prompts timely replacement.

Use Cases

• Indoor range: Reduce echo fatigue with Variable Suppression Time; keep commands intelligible.
• Outdoor rifle/shotgun: Low-profile cups aid a stable cheek weld while maintaining situational awareness.
• Hunting/scouting: Amplify subtle cues (footsteps, brush noise) without sacrificing protection.
• Coaching/RSO duties: Protect hearing yet hear voice commands and whistles clearly.
• Yard & shop work: Filter steady machine noise to reduce long-term exposure.

Specifications

Use & Care

• Ensure cushions create a continuous 360° seal around the ear; adjust headband height for proper fit—especially with eyewear.
• Use quality AAA alkaline batteries; do not mix old/new or brands.
• Clean cushions and headband with a damp soft cloth; avoid solvents, harsh chemicals, and high-pressure water.
• Remove batteries for long-term storage; keep in a cool, dry place.
