Description
The Impact Sport line has been a range and hunting staple for over a decade, and this Bluetooth version takes the same slim, comfortable design and adds wireless connectivity into the mix. It runs two high-gain omni-directional microphones that amplify low-level sounds up to five times, so you can catch range commands, conversation, or a deer stepping through the brush without pulling your muffs off. When a gunshot cracks, the digital sound compression clamps down on the noise in about half a millisecond, keeping things at a safe level while still letting the quiet stuff through.
What the Bluetooth Adds to the Impact Sport
This is where this model separates itself from the standard Impact Sport. Bluetooth 5.0 lets you pair a phone or music player straight to the muffs, so you can stream music between strings of fire, take a hands-free call, or keep in touch with your group without fumbling for wires. The 2 Mbps data speed runs about twice as fast as older Bluetooth 4.2, which translates to cleaner, higher-fidelity audio. Worth knowing: this Bluetooth model skips the external 3.5mm aux port found on some non-Bluetooth Impact Sports, so audio comes through the wireless connection.
Fit and Everyday Range Comfort
The OD green cups keep a low profile, which matters more than folks expect. That slim shape gives your firearm stock room to clear when you cheek the gun, so your cheek weld stays consistent instead of getting bumped off target. The headband padding adjusts to dial in the fit, and the whole set folds down compact for tossing in a range bag or pack.
Power and Rating on the OD Green Impact Sport Bluetooth
This pair carries a 21 dB Noise Reduction Rating, right in the sweet spot for range work and hunting where you still want to hear your surroundings. Instead of burning through disposable batteries, it runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery you top off with the included micro-USB cable, so you are not hunting for AAAs before a match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Impact Sport Bluetooth still protect my hearing while streaming music?
Yes. The electronic hearing protection works independently of the Bluetooth streaming, so the muffs still deliver their 21 dB NRR and clamp down on gunshot noise in about half a millisecond. You can run music, active listening, and impulse-noise protection all at the same time.
How does this Bluetooth model differ from the standard Impact Sport?
The big difference is the built-in Bluetooth 5.0, which lets you stream audio and take hands-free calls wirelessly instead of using an aux cable. One tradeoff worth noting is that this Bluetooth version does not have the external 3.5mm input jack found on some of the non-Bluetooth Impact Sports, so audio comes through the wireless connection.
What powers the Impact Sport Bluetooth earmuff?
It runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rather than disposable AAAs. It comes with a micro-USB charging cable, so you just top it off before heading out and skip buying batteries.
Will the low-profile cups clear my rifle stock?
That is exactly what the slim ear cup design is built for. The low profile keeps the cups from getting bumped by your firearm stock when you get a proper cheek weld, which helps you keep a consistent sight picture while wearing them.
