Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protector Black TAC500 NS 8 UPC 00076308913373
Product Description
The 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 500 Electronic Hearing Protector in Black (SKU: TAC500-NS-8 / UPC: 00076308913373) is a premium electronic headset engineered to deliver superior hearing protection, clear range communication, and seamless Bluetooth® connectivity for shooters and tactical marksmen. Boasting a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26 dB, the Tactical 500 automatically suppresses high-decibel gunshot noise while amplifying low-level ambient environmental sounds like range commands, footsteps, and conversation.
Featuring 3M’s proprietary SMART Technology, the headset measures the pitch and echo of gunshot noise to suppress impulse sound spikes while dynamically adjusting for indoor and outdoor shooting acoustics. Integrated Bluetooth® wireless technology allows users to sync mobile devices to stream audio or answer phone calls directly through high-fidelity speakers with clear voice tracking microphones. Recessed omnidirectional microphones reduce wind noise while providing 360-degree directional sound awareness.
Designed with long-range comfort in mind, the Tactical 500 features a vented, adjustable headband that diffuses heat and soft, gel-compatible ear cushions that form an airtight acoustic seal over eye protection. Powered by either two AA batteries or the optional 3M ALPHA1100 rechargeable Alpha Li-Ion battery pack, the Peltor Sport Tactical 500 represents the pinnacle of electronic hearing protection for indoor ranges and field operations.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard adult head sizes with full headband tilt and height adjustment. Low-profile earcups feature cutouts at the base to prevent buttstock contact interference during rifle and shotgun cheek-weld alignment.
- Open the battery compartment door on the right earcup and install two fresh AA alkaline batteries (or optional 3M Alpha Li-Ion rechargeable pack), observing polarity markings.
- Place the headset over your ears, ensuring eye protection temples slide smoothly underneath the soft ear cushions without creating acoustic seal gaps.
- Adjust the headband sliding wires vertically until the earcups completely enclose your ears and compress evenly against your skull.
- Press and hold the central power button to turn on the headset, using the volume toggle buttons to adjust ambient sound amplification levels before entering active firing lines.
