More import than all the electronic circuitry is comfort, and these ear buds satisfy that criterion. Howard Leight ships three sets of foam ear tips, small, medium, and large. You will want to try out all three sets to decide on your best fit.
The In-Ear headset is extremely light and after a minute or two of usage they just seem to disappear becoming hardly noticeable. Howard Leight is a leading global provider of passive and electronic hearing protection for the shooting sports. The company also offers a line of eye protection products. In 2010, Howard Leight was acquired by Honeywell International; it maintains one of only three accredited NVLAP (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) acoustic laboratories to test hearing.

On a full charge you can expect about 12 hours of runtime. All things considered, the Howard Leight Impact Sport IN-EAR electronic hearing protection is an exceptional value at its $120 M.S.R.P.
