Its ergonomic, low-profile design ensures comfort and compatibility with firearms, making it the go-to choice for serious shooters and outdoor pros. ## Description The 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 500 has a targeted NRR of 25 dB for passive sound protection. Suppresses gunshot noise and amplifies low sounds using proprietary 3M technologies. Dynamic Supression Time measures the energy in gunshot noise and automatically sets suppression time for reduced echoes and increased comfort. Clear Voice Tracking Technology seeks voice amongst the noise to improve speech intelligibility and situational awareness. Bluetooth Wireless Technology to seamlessly sync to mobile devices. Make and receive phone calls through the headset. Engineered for optimal fit and comfort. Foldable and adjustable. Review: Comfortable fit. Not suitable for use at a concert. - I bought these to replace an older model that still worked (after 5 years) but was showing a bit too much wear on the headband. Significant improvement in fit and comfort. All controls are easy to use, even when wearing gloves. Bluetooth lets me listen to music while reducing outside noise. The sensitivity adjustment lets me carry on conversations while automatically suppressing really loud noise. Not suited to use with live music because the suppressor turns on whenever the combined noise pressure gets too high. Makes the music choppy. Review: Outstanding Hearing Protection, Features, Quality - Recommend Optional Li-Ion Battery & Gel Cups - This review is for Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Smart Electronic Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, NRR 26 dB. What initially brought me to order this set was the outstanding reviews (both customer and professional), high NRR rating, digital voice listening (for person-to-person communication), and wanting Bluetooth capability for phone/multimedia interactions. I'm going to break this review up into sections. Pros: This set has a high 26 dB NRR rating. This is one of the higher NRR ratings I have seen for headphones. Since they are headphones, you can wear them with earplugs to further increase your ear protection. I have been able to wear these for an hour at a time without any issue. I have not tried them longer than that. These are quite adjustable for a large range of head sizes. The headphones do collapse for better storage, and they come with a nice storage bag. These also feel sturdy and appear to be very well constructed. These fit fine with thin safety glasses. I have not done much with the Bluetooth functionality or the digital voice communication. These have auto power shut off and lower battery warning. Cons: These headphones are a bit on the bulky side. They are definitely not the bulkiest out there, and they aren't obnoxiously bulky. However, there are applications where they could be in the way that you may need thin headphones or earplugs for instead. The headphones are medium in weight. They are definitely not heavy, but if you need to wear these for hours continuously, you might start to notice the weight. The padded cups don't feel very comfortable at first, and they apply a fair amount of pressure. It takes me a bit of positioning to get them into a comfortable position so that they aren't applying pressure to my temples, so that I don't get a headache. Other Thoughts: Overall, these are outstanding headphones for hearing protection. They are feature rich, very adjustable, high NRR rating, and well made. I don't really have much to say about the price, because I find the price to be equal to the quality and feature set. Therefore, I find the value to be good for the price. I ordered the ALPHA1100 rechargeable Li-ion battery pack for these headphones, and I definitely recommend this battery over 2 AA batteries. I do regret not ordering the gel replacement earcups. I have gel replacement earcups for a different set of hearing protection headphones, and they make a big difference. The gel replacement earcups are far more comfortable, provide a better seal, especially with safety glasses on, and they have the potential to offer a slight increase in NRR. This potential NRR increase is possible by achieving a better seal (particularly with glasses on), the material used, and the double hump design (allows two chances to create a complete seal). Update - 10/21/2023 I finally upgraded the stock ear pads on the 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 500 to PROHEAR gel ear pads. It was immediately a significant improvement. The noise reduction was noticeably improved. The gel pads are more comfortable, and they seal much better, especially with glasses on. Each gel pad is about 1mm thicker than the stock pads. I looked at both the gel pads with and without the replacement plastic base. I went with the version without the plastic base, only because they were a bit softer. I'm going to assume it just happened to be a sample variance, and that normally they are both the same. To install I peeled off the original pad, no tools required. I removed the original adhesive residue from the plastic base. Then I did a dry lineup of the new ear pad, removed the adhesive cover, and installed the new pads. I can also say that the digital capabilities for listening with the built-in microphone and speakers is excellent. I am able to hear everything just fine while having hearing protection. It is also very good about muting loud noises but keeping speech audible. I'm also able to hear the digital output (speech/sounds) just fine with earplugs in. This is great, because I can get a very high level of hearing protection, while having very good situational awareness. I would never consider anything other than digital headphones for hearing protection. ## Features - Plastic/Rubber - Imported - NRR: 25 dB noise reduction rating - DYNAMIC SUPPRESSION TIME: Electronic hearing protection headphones that actively adapts to gunshots and other loud impulse noises by measuring the energy in the noise and automatically adjusting the suppression time to reduce echoes - ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND VOCAL CLARITY: Recessed microphones and Clear Voice Tracking technology help filter out unwanted background and wind noise while amplifying low-level sounds and preserving voice frequencies - BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY: Wirelessly sync the Bluetooth hearing protection headphones with your mobile device; independent controls adjust the volume of the audio input and ambient noise separately - LOW-PROFILE, COMFORTABLE DESIGN: Low-profile design features an adjustable vented headband and soft, conformable ear cushions with cutouts for long guns; rubber bumpers at the bottom of the cutouts help reduce bumping and scratching against the gunstock - RELIABLE POWER: Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) or the 3M Alpha 1100 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack (sold separately); auto shut-off and low battery indicator make it easy to keep your electronic hearing protection powered - EASY TO OPERATE AND STORE: Easy-to-use button interface and voice guidance allow for seamless operation while wearing, and the compact, foldable design is easy to store in the included bag - SUITABLE FOR MANY LOUD ENVIRONMENTS: hearing protection for shooting at the indoor gun range or hunting big game outdoors; can also be used as hearing protection for mowing, construction, concerts, racing, and other loud activities at home or on the job - Storage bag included - EXTEND THE LIFE OF EARMUFFS: Replace worn or damaged cushions with the 3M Gel Hearing Protector Replacement Hygiene Kit to maintain acceptable noise reduction, hygiene, and comfort ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06W56YRWJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,588 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #13 in Hunting & Shooting Earmuffs | | Brand | Peltor Sport | | Brand Name | Peltor Sport | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,563 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076308913373 | | Included Components | Hearing Protector | | Item Dimensions | 4.57 x 7.78 x 11.58 inches | | Item Form | Not Aplicable | | Item Nype Name | PS Tac | | Item Weight | 12.96 ounces | | Manufacturer | 3M | | Manufacturer Part Number | TAC500-NS-8 | | Material | Synthetic | | Material Type | Synthetic | | Model Name | Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Pr | | Model Number | TAC500-NS-8 | | Noise Attenuation | 26 dB | | Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) | 26 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Size Name | 1 Count | | Product Style | Tac 500 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Noise Protection | | Reusability | Reusable | | Single Number Rating (SNR) | 26 Decibels | | Size | 1 count (Pack of 1) | | Specific Uses For Product | Over-ear Headsets | | Sport Type | Shooting | | Style | Tac 500 | | UPC | 076308913373 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Peltor Sport - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Synthetic - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Noise Protection - **Size:** 1 count (Pack of 1) ## Images ![Peltor Sport Tactical 500 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811jDc2YCVL.jpg) ![Peltor Sport Tactical 500 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81plCJ-a7nL.jpg) ![Peltor Sport Tactical 500 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kuWtA9XPL.jpg) ![Peltor Sport Tactical 500 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Uj472uz3L.jpg) ![Peltor Sport Tactical 500 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lXS9w1uPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: So the BIG Question .... How do these compare to the Howard Leight Impact Sport??? Let's hear your thoughts and feedback owners!!!** A: I don't have the impact sports, but compared to the impact pros, I HATE these. If someone else is shooting somewhere, these cut off noise completely. The Impact Pros will shut out the bangs and simultaneously let you hear conversations. These won't do that, they just go to full sound-proof mode. Useless for me at competitions. These are actually more comfortable and compact, though. **Q: can I use these with military kelvar helmet?** A: Yes, I use these as a U.S. Marine and they fit perfectly underneath my Kevlar. You'll need to adjust your chinstrap though. **Q: will these work for loud yard appliances like blowers and lawn mowers?** A: Yes, they will work as standard ear muffs while in a loud environment, but the microphone volume is tied to the input volume. I tried to use these while mowing and listening to music at the same time. By turning the volume knob up, it also increased the volume of the mic and mower, downing out the music. **Q: Do the peltor gel cups fit these?** A: Gel Cups from Swat-Tac & ComTac fit the Peltor Tactical 500. Other Gel Cups will not fit. I hope this answers your concern. I got this answer directly from a Peltor Executive. Respectfully, ted ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable fit.

The headband for fat heads like mine need work, but does definitely fit big heads, yet just a tad on the uncomfortable side. I put a padded headband on from my passive earmuff collection. Very simple to pair up with Bluetooth , and very easy to shuffle through songs with jack cord... answer and reject, and end calls just by pushing the BT logo on earcup. Works great with HY80 ear seals . Of course I put fleece in mine. Great mics pick up voice, when taking calls ...nothing in front of your mouth. (That doesn't bother me though.) Little LED light lets you know what function the earmuffs are in...voice assist is great, and by pressing the BT Logo and power button at the same time, you can cut on or off certain features. I will be testing out the voice aspect at work, and soon will test out the noise compression, shooting my 40 cal and shotguns. Worth every penny...I highly recommend this headset, and I gave it 5 stars, despite the funny feeling headband. Its very easy to change it out to the padded headband for the passives. A small Philips head works great. You gotta get it, and great for shooting and mowing, and work, industrial ...alot applications for this headset. A must have. Picks up background noise. The Alert and ProTac XP don't do that. Only thing besides headband that really needs work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Bluetooth Hearing Protection Ear Muffs, One-Size, 1 Pair of Ear Muffs - 3M WorkTunes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/43090444-peltor-sport-tactical-500](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/43090444-peltor-sport-tactical-500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
