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.
thanks for the report!
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.
Thanks for report. I bought the 100’s along time ago had to buy a proprietary cord to run my baofeng uv- 5r. That little wire was $54. I think these I could use a regular cord.
Don’t use the foam. Use Mack’s gel plugs used for swimmers ear but excellent vs foam plugs
I can't imagine doing a better review. All the information I wanted... concise and fast. Well done!
Thank you
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.
thanks
First of all love my comment from 2 years ago, but I just want to say what I use these the most for is working out in my yard, the bluetooth combined with the hearing protection is awesome for mowing the yard, using my chainsaw or weed whacker, it allows you to protect your hearing from loud 2 strokes and listen to your favorite podcast or music at the same time.
One advantage of the ventilated headband is that if you wear a hat, the button on top fits in the slot so it doesn’t hurt like a solid headband does.
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.
thanks for the report
After watching your review, i pulled the trigger and got the 500s, love them, on 50 foot bullseye nights at my sportsman club indoor range i switch on my play list for slow fire and use two good motivational ( Disturbed, vengeful one and indestructible ) songs to pace my self, works like a champ, no more stop watch peeping. one notable feature is your cellphone ring tones still come over both the head set and your phone in case you forget to turn off your head set, no more missed calls.
as always great review.
excellent
Literally the best part of this channel is the boxers. Love dogs. (The actual content is excellent too) =D
🐶
does your hair get caught in the headband?
Yes. Obviously. It ripped all his hair out.
🤪🇫🇷🖖🏻
Yup, his channel used to be called “MrGunsNHair” until the headphones pulled all of his hair out.
Eeeediot.
@@brikwal3338 🤣😂
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.
Thanks
hey, what do you mean adhesive tape? so you need to apply adhesive after you put them on the headphones?
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
Thank you for posting this review. I'm blind and I shoot, so hearing protection is important to me. I appreciate that you showed the audio guide voice feature. I'm sure Peltor didn't have blind shooters in mind, but it's one of those accidentaL accessibility features. Question... Do you have favorite ear plugs? I would like something rubbery/rigid rather than squishy, but not sure if they exist.
My 500 just came in the mail today. I loved it as soon as I opened the package and quickly connected the Bluetooth to my phone and two laptops. Thanks for the review that caused me to purchase it!
awesome
I just ordered a pair of these thanks to your review (and of the gel pads). They're $112 at midwayusa right now with free shipping. Thanks as always, Mike!
I just got the 500 in the mail. I'm going to do an Unboxing video and I'll leave a link in the description to your review video because I don't do reviews. I do mostly unboxings. Gr8 vid. 🔫 🎧
Great video! I just got the 500's from Amazon this morning and went directly to your video for the true scoop! Now I don't have to read the boring manual. Appreciate all of your most excellent videos.While your voice delivery is rather monotone, it is very well timed and understandable. Your content is very comprehensive, presented in a well thought out, and flowing manner. Keep 'em coming ! I got the 500's for $93 bucks on Amazon!
I've been watching your videos here and there for some time. You provide very concise information. You gained a new subscription and I'm going to purchase these 500s. Thank you for your hard work!
Peltor has a bundle now on Amazon where you get the gel inserts for like 10 bucks more. Really nice value.
Just picked them up awesome deal
I had a set / pair of Peltor Tactical 500, loved them. The Spring clip (Metal coat hanger wire that connected the ere Cup to the Head gear) broke. 3M said they're not replaceable - Tried to fix it, ended up tossing them a few months ago. I was upset and went and bought Walkers (Crap) and now I am looking at buying them once more LoL. And oh by the way, 3M sells a replacement part now.
Oof, that sucks. I might bite the bullet on Sordan's.
Just got a pair of 500s for 80 bucks for prime day
Fantastic review. Just bought some 500s. Thanks!
Thanks for the review!!! I just ordered the 500's on ebay for $101 shipped
The selling point for me on the 300/500's over the 100 is that they can have the rechargeable battery with a plug in.
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.
Thanks
I do that when we shoot on the inside range. Works wonders
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
Would you pick these over the Walker Razor (currently priced at around $50)?
Awesome review. Of all the hearing protection you have reviewed what do you find yourself using the most?
I use the Peltor 300. I noticed today at the range that it has "default mode", "serice mode"....which are not talked about in the instruction manual. I just press the Power button + UP or Down button at the same time to access these unknown modes.
LMAO @ Chikita Banana magazine!
🍌
Logic Bob where can we find one of those magazine clips?
So the ad before this video was for everytown for gun safety to oppose the share act and nationwide conceal carry. I let it play and did not skip it so you would get paid by them.
You have to click on the ad
Excellent review. Just picked up the Peltor 500. Thank you!
I know you did a review on the 100’s, but do you know if the gel pads will fit those as well? Was also wondering if you could give a weight comparison on all the current models...? Thanks for all the great work that you do for helping us shooters make great choices and save wasted money!
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. I ended up buying a wrap for the hard headband, and the Camelbak gel cups. If I had it to do over, I would not purchase these.
The Howard Lights suck. So uncomfortable. Im about to buy these peltor 500s today.
Very informative!! ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND THE QUESTIONS I DIDNT THINK TO ASK.
I like to shoot but I mostly want these because I spend hours mowing pastures and also working with loud machinery in my shop. It'll be nice to be able to listen to music while I'm doing that
They should add "auto wake on shake" feature to these headsets for bedside duty.
I just thought about that yesterday for the first time. That would be a great feature. I predict we will see Ear Pro marketed specifically for HD soon.
Question....my hearing isn't that great anymore, largely due to loud music and shooting a lot without hearing protection when I was a kid. That being said, I dont hear a lot of different tones like crickets and some birds. Okay so that's where my question is, we do a lot of hiking and some shooting, would the 300's be good for picking up on sounds I cant hear anymore out hiking? Thanks!
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
Peltor sports? So u r saying theres no issue with the sports??
I don't need the Blue-Tooth. So my choice between the 100 and the 300. I shoot in an indoor range, so dampening the echos is useful. Is one of these models significantly better with that? Do those gel seals fit in both the 300 and 100?
Does the gel upgrade add anything to NRR you think? Even 1 or 2 dB? Not that that's a decision point for me but I'm just curious.
great review bro. I needed some info to decide if I wanted to purchase them. you answered all of questions. thanks bro
General question - while wearing these types of devices can you tack sound directionally? If I'm in the woods or clearing a building and hear movement, can I tell and or discern the direction and distance of the movement? Thanks
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.
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.
I have. You have to peel the backing off to fit though
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.
I just bought the 500 sports yesterday. Reviewing them now. Trying to figure out if I am returning them or not. Any issues in the 5 so months u have had them??
@@a.d.c7941 I ended up returning them and getting the older non bluetooth tactical sports instead.
@@jakashh What made you want to do that?
@@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.
Hey man, thanks for the review. I'm considering the Tac300 and the docs say they can be used with 2-way radios. Any info on that that you can share? I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks.
LOVING that chiquita mag 😂 nothing chiquita about it!
😁
I own the sport tac 100 and range guards I need the 300 on my life
perhaps you do
@@Mrgunsngear 😀😂🤣
The term you may be looking for is 'Sound Attenuation'. Is that what you were trying to say?
Great review! Time to update my old Peltors.
thanks
I have a doubt: Its only indicate to use with guns, or coulb be used in airports along sound and noise monitoring? tks
anywhere
Good review. Thanks MGG.
Thank you
I'm looking for some hearing protection for home defense, in the unlikely scenario I would have to shoot my AR 15 inside my small house. Do you think those would do the job, or I should look into a suppressor?
Legal paperwork and headache aside these are cheaper and unless your invaders already in your room you'll have time to throw these on. That said a suppressor is nice to protect your family and pets hearing.
Great review. I just bought the 500 $99.00 +tax on Amazon. Thank you.
ALL electronic hearing SHOULD BE produced for wearing with the idea of them being AGAINST A STOCK ON ANY RIFLE (that little indentation that exists on some ‘higher -end’ covers)
Cool product and review. Could one infer that your lack of mentioning the audio/music sound quality was not worth mentioning. I have one of the competitors brands and the audio quality is like old AM radio ish; also I use them at work in loud mechanical rooms and they don't help so much in that situation unfortunately the cut off is a bit too high.
one could not infer that; time just limits everything in reviews. I have 3 sets of bluetooth hearing protecting and these are actually the best but not like Bose or anything.
1:58 the Ladys face after shooting the 50!
That bolt bounce though!
every AR has bolt bounce at 480FPS
Great review! Thank you!
Excellent review and thank you. Is the music in stereo ?
Thanks.
Yes
How do the Peltor 300/500 compare to MSA Sordin (tactical/hunting)?
in what way?
Good question, and not sure of all the ways they could be different.
Not interested in bluetooth.
Noise attenuation?
Speed of which to quiet a gun shot?
Sound clipping
amplification for hunting or situation awareness
Any issues indoors
echos
build quality
sound quality
agility, do they get in the way, easy to snag, annoying?
too big?
ease of operation in stress situation
pretty funny, I literally just bought the 500s and the pro eat predator golds last night to test them both out and return the worse one.
nice
These are no good!! At 13:15 you start to "warn" us these don't work on our wife and I will still hear her. Thanks for the subliminal warning
Ha
lacenter645 You missed the wife voice/dog walking comparison...Brave man!
just take the batteries out and say yes dear a lot, she will never know.
You can also turn up the volume on the music pumped in via Bluetooth.
What are the funky guitar riffs that you use
Mike, where do my Peltor 3m tactical sports fit in this mix?
Not sure
That little billet pistol build looks awesome. What's your favorite hearing pro for the money so far? I've never had a digital set and I'll have to buy at least 2 sets.
Depends on the budget I guess
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.
Fun fact...just cause I was curious (and quite surprised) about its true capabilities: it will actually provide audio for any input, regardless of which others might already be in use. I hooked my phone up with bluetooth and a kenwood handheld up with an aux cord and it was still providing ambient noise as well as both of those!
Does anyone know to what degree these are water resistant?
*edit: all I have are the 500s so all that is about those specifically
thanks for the report
How are they when wearing eye protection? We see you wearing them in the intro but don't mention it in the video. It seems like they would press the muffs outward letting sound in?
no issues
Yes got to love Bluetooth if your going , I say go all the way . The 500 's hands down . Thanks. To like my 100 though
Ditto
I have to say ive been dissapointed with my TCI Liberators. They are not very old and the wires have frayed pretty bad to the point of shorting out when hooked to comms.
Which is better the Pelter 3M Peltor TacticalPro Communications Headset MT15H7F SV or the tactical 500?
How do these compare to the Axil Trackr Blu?
Can you use Bluetooth to listen to music/podcasts from a phone without the active listening on? I want to use them while running heavy equipment such as dozer and such while listening to music without listening to the noise that is below the cut off volume.
Any idea of battery life of the 300 vs 500? Can the BlueTooth be turned off if not using it?
On the 300, what is the overall battery duration of this muffs? Thanks you!
does the caller on the other line hear the background noise or does it filter out all sound but the voice
What are the bluetooth connection to?Can you have multiple bluetooths on one channel?
How do these compare to Howard light pro besides the db rating?
I prefer the audio on these
In your video of the original tactical sports you mentioned the microphone being "derectional" so you could hear where sounds were coming from
I just ordered the 500s do they have that same feature
Nevermind you just answered my question that's what I get for waiting till the end sorry
Thanks awsome reveiw as always
How do the original tactical Sports compared to the 300 on the 500 because online currently online they are more expensive
Igorvgavrilyuk I've only ever worn the 500s I like them alot so far
One thing I will say though is they claim 26db reduction witch as it happens is the same claim that the little foam things you stick in your ear I use at work makes witch I've always used before I bought the 500s and any gun in any environment so far is wayyy quiter with the lil foamies in even though they both say 26db reduction
That said they still bring sound down enough just something to think about
So you are saying that the free foam plugs they give out at concerts work better than these expensive tactical 500 muffs? Thanks I will still with free
Are these worth the extra money compared to the Peltor Sport 100s?
How long to get out of the headset when not using the bluetooth? Would you choose these over the MSA Sordins pro x or Peltor Comtac 3 if money wasn't an issue? Thanks for your great content
I don't understand the first question. I would since these have bluetooth which I very much prefer
Mrgunsngear Channel sorry I meant to say how long do you get from the battery without using Bluetooth?
How do you find the microphone quality in comparison to the msa sordins?
I'm feeling that the msa's haven't been updated for such a long time that the tac500 have exceeded what msa sordins are offering.
Thanks again
How do the electronics compare to the MSA Supreme Pro? Thanks
Appropriately for the money
Can anyone give me an honest opinion on the 300/500 vs the Howard leight bolts? From someone who has used both. Especially in the sound suppression and circuitry each use....
LMAO @ Smooth Operator.... Fresh shave today?
I am looking at getting a pair of electronic earmuffs, am also researching my first rifle purchase (I am a complete noob when it comes to long guns). I have read that certain earmuffs can interfere with getting a proper cheek weld when rifle shooting. Any concerns with either of these models?
no but everyone's head is different as is they way they present a rifle
nice
Can you still hear voices if you double up on hearing protection?
Have you ever had issues with a buzzing noise on the 500s? I get a very distracting buzzing type noise if I have them above minimum volume.
no; I'd call Peltor
your voice puts me to sleep. great review. Time to take a nap.
I fell asleep for part of the review. I’ll just get the 500’s.
That banana magazine is so cool
Thanks, but no thanks man. When I have to open up Comms with mommy after a rigorous airsoft game, I want to be able to use my Baofeng UV-5R so I can get picked up, so I've decided on spending $2k on a Peltor Comtac IV Hybrid + Ops Core Maritime setup!
Gotta love it. $2k earphones with a $25 radio.
Tactical as fook
Have you tried just putting rechargeable AAs in and plugging it in the USB?
No
What did you say? I can't hear you with my Peltor Tac 500s on.
hmm you know, I'm thinking about these for hunting. The only thing is, I wonder if they'd still seal properly if I was wearing a beanie or face mask on those cold mornings (I too am bald) and if they interfere with cheek weld.
they'll be 95% better than nothing with a hat
I have been using the Howard Leights for about 5 years and they are on the end of their run I believe. They seem to be shorting out lately. They also hurt my head while wearing eye protection. What do you recommend besides the HL for rifle shooting? I can't afford the MSA sordins.
gixxerjunky Peltor 6S is the cheapest you can get, but surprisingly good. walkers make good headsets too but your better off with 3M.
What's your budget?
Mrgunsngear Channel I would like to hear your opinion on $200 and below. Then $100 and below.
Thanks for clearing up a question I had . I was wondering if the sound amplification feature of these would still work if an audio cord was attached. I'm considering these for my family and was considering using these plugged into the audio output of a shoulder mic but I dont want to lose the ability to talk at low volume with them on. Do you think this would work ? Thanks for all your great videos!
What does the P do on the 300 series?
In your opinion are the new 3m peltor tactical 500 better than the 3m peltor sv tactical pro?
haven't used them
I have very sensitive ears I like shooting but I never can because it bothers my ears will these help?
You betcha
Will they be durable enough for field use or do I have to spend more money?
to my knowledge there's no definition of field use durability so I suppose it would depend on the exact conditions.
