I added these to a pair of Howard electronic earmuffs. Easy to install, seal well to your head, and seal out the sound. Very comfortable. My only criticism would be that they made my ears pretty sweaty, but that is to be expected with anything made of memory gel.

The original ear padding that comes with the Howard Light Impact Sport ear protection sucks. It is okay for about the first 6 months or so, but will start to flatten and become VERY uncomfortable, and I mean uncomfortable to the point of hurting and causing red marks on your ears. The PROHEAR GEP02 Gel Ear Pads made by 3M are fantastic. Extremely easy to install and fit the Howard Light Impact Sport ear muffs perfectly. They are quite gentle on your ears and stay comfortable over time. After many additions to my complete load out, I can easily say that this was the cheapest, but has possibly provided me with the best functional addition. A load out should be functional and as comfortable as possible because you might have to wear your gear for long periods of time, and should not be bought just for the "cool factor". I put 16 years into the military and was a Law enforcement POST firearms instructor for 8 years. I am now completely retired but have learned so many things over the past 30 years, and believe me, comfort is a huge factor when having to wear a lot of gear over long periods of time.

I wear my Impact pro earmuffs 8hr/per for environmental work noise. Within a few months the factory pads have lost almost all flexibility. So when turning my head or leaning over gaps open between the pad and my head letting sound through. My new ProHear pads are very soft and conforming, and spread the pressure out around the ear without concentrating it to smaller pressure points. The grove in the middle makes them like a double seal, even if I twist enough or have hair in the way to cause the outer seal to open the inner one is unaffected.Besides actually sealing and blocking the sound, I can't tell if there is any increased sound reduction from these pads, nor does the manufacturer claim it, however similarly available pads did. This may be due to the condition of my old pads.I normally wear my safety glasses arms canted above the pads because of how hard the old pads were. I'm surprised that I can wear my glasses like normal and actually can't even feel them under my ear, and they seal just fine. *note I haven't tested this long term. I can even put on and remove my glasses without removing the earmuffs.I am curious how long they will last, due to the "ultra-thin sheet of polyurethane" so I won't comment until I have used them longer than a week.The Cons are a little nit-picky, but there were very few reviews for these when I got them so I'll give all the info I can:*The pads feel like a thin bag full of gel, this allows the earmuffs to "shift around" when moving, compared to my old hard pads that felt more secure in place.*Like a bag full of gel, they seem like an ice/heat pack. They are cold when you put them on, take a while to warm up, and when worn for longer periods of time, do not dissipate the heat.*The inside ear hole edge is a little sharp. This combined with the greater ability for the earmuffs to shift around means I have to readjust them sometimes, to move my earlobe away from the edge. I would like to try to round that edge over but do not want to cause a separation between the thin polyurethane layer and the backing, as I have seen from an amazon customer image of a similar product.Overall I am so far very pleased with these pads, and hope they last as long as described.
