Nimitz Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Simple question: when you turn on the headset what gives you max noise reduction? Turning the dial all the way to the 'stop' or just barely moving it to the 'on' position? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dacsoft Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 When you first turn them on, that is the lowest volume. Turning all the way to the end is high. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroniner Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The noise reduction feature is constant, the volume is for the volume of the external/ambient noise (conversations, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ok, sorry to be so dense but is high volume mean your hear the most ambient noise or it takes out the most of that type of sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroniner Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I don't think you're dense, I believe you're over thinking it. The noise reduction is always on when turned on regardless of volume/position/etc. The volume is for the sound levels you'd hear. Imagine this, you put in ear plugs, then you put on headphones over that, the volume of the headphones is what is variable. Hope that helps.

Locomotion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Turn your headphones as high as you can to comfortably hear. They automatically protect your hearing during loud gunfire when on. The new Howard Leight Impact Pro comes with the highest electronic protection I've seen so far at 30 NRR. They are big but comfortable and I don't usually add plugs in addition to electronic headsets like I normally do. Now these won't be as handy when mounting a long gun where then I would utilize my low profile Pro Ears + plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 thx. I'll look into the Pro's ... it would be nice not to have to double plug if I didn't have to. Unfortuinately I already have more than enough hearing loss due to flying jets in the AF for 12 years ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 A friend of mine was an instructor for Army Freffal HALO and HAHO. They utilized custom earplugs made from a company that specialized in hearing aids. I have hearing loss as well. With other hearing protection style muffs I would combine and use these plugs I had made. With the Imact Pro I don't. Lisa Munson, a USPSA champion many times over, helped with the R&D as far as the comfort fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
