Howard Leight electronic earmuff owners question

[mmunn84]

So Santa was good to me. Brought me a Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff for Christmas this year. I love everything about them...but have a question to those who own them. I notice when I first turn the muffs on there is a clicking noise inside the muffs (not the on/off lever) until I reach nearly the loudest setting and clicking stops... are all of the muffs designed lime this, or are mine defective? I have yet to use them on the range, but I see the reviews are stellar, and I am familiar with the brand. Its not really a problem, but more an annoyance; because I like to not have to put the volume all the way up in order to stop the clicking sound. Thanks in advance...

that sounds defective to me i have 2 pairs that dont do that.

Mine don't do that either, they do work great though. I can use them with my S&W 500 outdoors with no problems.

Had mine for a while. Nothing like that.

they should be "silent", probably not the cause, but try a different pair of batteries and see if that changes anything.

Called company...said driver was defective. Even though purchased through Amazon took serial info and transaction info and sent me a new pair... get to keep the old ones too. Great company.

Had these for one range event, returned. They amplified the sound when firing and I could not believe it.

I use MSA Sordin headsets which work awesome but I have an older pair that aren't low pro which is why I tried the HL. MSA all the way, you get what you pay for.
