Foldable, vented, and adjustable for an optimal fit and all-day comfort. A brand of 3M.
Features & Benefits
- Gunshot Recognition and Suppression Technology identifies impulse noise from the firearm and automatically tailors protection based on the type of firearm being used and the surrounding environment.
- 26 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) provides passive sound attenuation.
- Bluetooth® Wireless Technology connects to mobile devices for music streaming and hands-free phone calls through the headset.
- Dynamic Suppression Time measures the energy in each impulse and automatically tunes suppression time to reduce echoes and improve comfort.
- Clear Voice Tracking filters background noise and locks onto voice frequencies so commands and conversation come through clearly.
- Voice guidance & intuitive controls let you operate the headset, change modes, and check battery status without removing it.
- Auto shut-off conserves battery life when the headset is left on.
- Low-profile cups with cut-outs optimized for long-gun stock clearance.
- Vented, adjustable headband improves comfort when worn with hats or for extended sessions.
- Recessed microphones help reduce wind and fan noise and protect mics from damage.
- Foldable design for compact storage and transport.
- Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included). Compatible with the optional 3M Alpha 1100 lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack (sold separately).

Application Instructions
Getting Started
- Open the right ear cup battery door and install 2 AA batteries (or attach the optional 3M Alpha 1100 rechargeable battery pack) following the polarity markings.
- Adjust the headband so the cushions sit lightly on top of the head and the cups fully cover the ears. Do not pull down like a hat.
- Press and hold the power button on the right cup until you hear the power-on voice prompt.
- Use the volume buttons to set ambient sound amplification to a comfortable level.
Bluetooth® Pairing
- Turn the headset on.
- Press and hold the center Bluetooth button on the right cup for about 3 seconds. You will hear "Bluetooth Pairing On" and the LED will blink.
- On your phone or device, open Bluetooth settings and select Peltor Sport Tactical 500 from the list of available devices.
- When pairing is complete, you will hear "Bluetooth Connected." The headset will reconnect automatically the next time it is powered on within range.
Use & Care Tips
- Typical Bluetooth range is about 25 feet. Keep the paired device on your person for best signal.
- Auto shut-off engages after a period of inactivity to preserve battery life.
- Wipe cushions and cups with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the headset.
- Store with the cups folded in to protect cushions and microphones.
- Replace cushions and inserts when they show wear to maintain the rated noise reduction.

User Reviews
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
