Been running the 500's for a little over a month. The mic and noise cancelling are excellent. Sometime the mic can be almost little TOO sensitive but it does make me feel like I have super hearing. These make my old Leight seem pathetic. I used to wear foam underneath when shooting rifles, but I feel like this is unnecessary with the Peltors. The hearing protection is outstanding. The bluetooth is well worth the extra $$$ and makes listened to music at the range easy and safe.

Just got these this week and upgraded to Gel ear cups. So comfortable and amazing hearing protection, what foam do you use underneath? I've discovered a weird echo effect when listening to music or pod cast through bluetooth (more prominent when it's just recorded voice on podcast. There is literally an echo, very weird. I don't experience it when I have it wired in via the 3.5 jack. Do you get the same issue? I'm still very happy with them as the bluetooth is a minor advantage for my use while hunting/deer stalking.

I just received my P300's and I have to say that these are a BIG step above the previous electronic muffs I've owned over the years. I believe this employs a "look-ahead" limiter of sorts to detect and duck out the transient attack of the firearm's shot(s), and the release time is calculated to the surrounding environment you are in.... great audio-engineering on PT's end for this design. I am impressed. As for the gel-inserts option, may not be necessary on the new 300 and 500 series, as the cups on these are very comfortable and for me wearing glasses, does not present a pinching or air-seal issue at all.... Great value for its price point indeed.

I've taken calls while shooting and the other person could hear the shots in the background but it wasn't distracting. I could hear the person fine. I also use them while mowing and I stream music from my phone. The audio quality isn't amazing but it's still pretty good. The vent in the strap is nice in that it doesn't press down on the button on a baseball cap. For the money I am really liking them after two months.

Great review on them, I have the Peltor Tactical 300 and they work great! I added the gel cups with no issue. Easiest thing to do is remove them off of the plastic connectors and add them on the ones on the Peltors. It's just adhesive tape, real easy to do and it makes them that much better.

I would like something rubbery/rigid rather than squishy, but not sure if they exist.

Great video dude, you're one of my favorite review channels because all your stuff is very holistic and practical when it comes to gear. Whenever I have a very specific gear question it's usually answered by this channel faster than the other ones. I have been waiting for someone to review these new headsets. A little off tangent but - have you tried putting those Camelbak gel cups on the Peltor Tactical Sport 100s? Also I think I asked you this before but have you ever gotten ear or jaw aches from wearing a headset too long? Do any of the new Peltors do that to you? I am really trying to replace my Howard Leight Impact Sports because by the end of a match I am dying to take them off.

The gel seals are expensive, but quite durable and really improve the fit and noise reduction (at least for higher frequencies). I had a pair of gel seals on a 15 year old pair of Peltor aviation headsets. I don't use that particular headset anymore, so I swapped the seals with my Tactical Sport headsets. They snapped right on and are still as soft and conforming as ever despite being a decade and a half old.

Thanks for the informational video! My main reasoning for buying these would be for durability and water resiliency. I work outdoors and excercise in the rain and moisture from sweat got into my last ones and eventually corroded the connections. But that was after a year of hard abuse for about $50. In your opinion are these worth all that money when I basically just need bluetooth headphones that are water proof? Or should I just buy $50 ones until they break down.

I have the Peltor 300's. The headband is very hard and get's quite irritating if worn for extended periods. The width of the cups most certainly does interfere with cheek weld as well.

Sorry I didn't make that very clear did I. The most I'd be willing to spend is likely $150 but it seems at this point after watching your Peltor Tac 100 video those fit my needs more. Plus at roughly $60 a pair I can afford 2 of those for the price of 1 bluetooth model. I just don't see using bluetooth on a device originally designed for hearing protection. The directional based hearing should really help with situational awareness too.

How have they held up 4 years later? I’m seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon as well as 3M’s website about the plastic around where the metal for the ear cups connects to the top strap comes loose and breaks off. Not sure if that’s an exception or a rule. I already pulled the trigger on them and am slightly concerned now that I might also experience this issue.

@@a.d.c7941 just didn’t feel all that quality. After seeing where others broke around where I mentioned, it just felt like a weak point every time I’d handle them. I wasn’t sure if they’d reinforced the area or not, and didn’t want to be a guinea pig and find out

@@jakashh I don’t blame u at all! They are way too expensive to have so many bad reviews. I have decided I am going with the Sordin Supreme Pro X LED. Yes they are expensive but I want something high quality and so far the reviews have looked very good on them. Gonna review them more but right now I am liking what im seeing.

In your opinion are the new 3m peltor tactical 500 better than the 3m peltor sv tactical pro?

I've been using foam earplugs for years. Never had the need for electronic hearing protection. Even through all the classes and shoot-houses, I stuck with the foam ear plugs. Only once did I wish I had something more. Back when I ran a course inside a dwelling using an M1A Scout. I had a headache for days, but it was entirely worth it! I explained it in greater detail on the +Sootch00 video review of the Springfield Armory SOCOM 16. I have also experienced non-suppressed fire inside of a building without hearing protection of any kind. I would not recommend it at all if you can avoid it. Prepare for tinnitus and some general discomfort for a while. Which is why I am not an advocate of a shotgun for home defense. Muzzle blast and decibels will ruin not only your assailant but you, your family and your pets will be hurting too. Does that mean my hearing has been damaged? Absolutely. I just look at it as heightening my other senses. Stay safe and keep up the good work my friends.

Mrgunsngear Channel I'm curious to how the 500s would do say mowing grass with a riding mower and listening to music. Do they do a good job of muting the mower and still be able to hear the music. I have a pair of the 3m Bluetooth radio headsets now but you really have to turn the volume up to still hear the music over the mower which to me defeats the purpose of the nrr. Is or would this be the case with the 500's

Will they be durable enough for field use or do I have to spend more money?

@Mrgunsngear 7 жыл бұрын

to my knowledge there's no definition of field use durability so I suppose it would depend on the exact conditions.

I owned 2 pair of 500s and they both had audio issues and both died within 6 months. I was a Peltor guy for years have a box full of stuff from Peltor it was such a disappointment. My Razors have much better sound quality and they were a little less expensive. Peltor sports are fine but don’t have same audio quality of my Razors
