3M H515FB516GN Bull's Eye I Folding Earmuffs, Army Green, 20 Pack
Product description
Some shooting setups call for hearing protection that packs away easily, others make a clear shoulder position the priority. Could one design help with both? The 3M PELTOR Bull's Eye I has folding cups shaped to reduce interference from a rifle butt, with an army-green finish and a 20-pack format.
Key specifications
- Name: 3M PELTOR Bull's Eye I
- Reference: H515FB516GN
- Type: Folding earmuffs
- Format: 20 pack
- Colour: Army green
The stated noise reduction is up to 28 dB, tested in accordance with EN 352:2020. The lower part of each cup is bevelled to help avoid contact with the rifle butt when taking aim. Wide, soft foam cushions are designed to seal around the ears without high contact pressure, while the foldable headband makes the earmuffs easier to store in a pocket or bag between uses.
Who it’s for
These earmuffs are aimed at shooting situations where reducing noise and maintaining room around the rifle stock both matter. They may also suit people who want hearing protection that can be folded away rather than left assembled. The stated 28 dB reduction gives a concrete point of comparison when choosing protection, but anyone with a specific noise-reduction requirement should match it to the conditions they expect to face.
Buyer feedback is positive about comfort, noise reduction and the compact folding design. Some customers also mention a comfortable fit over a cap. These are individual impressions rather than a guarantee of fit or performance for every wearer, so the seal around the ears remains important in practice.
Tips for day-to-day use
Fold the headband after use to make storage in a bag or pocket more straightforward. For shooting, the bevelled cup design is intended to help keep the earmuffs clear of the rifle butt, positioning still matters, as the cushions need to sit around the ears to provide their intended seal. The foam inserts and cushions can be replaced using Hygiene Kits if worn or damaged, which may help extend the product’s usable life. Product details also mark this model as discontinued by the manufacturer, so future availability of replacement kits is not established here.
Practical questions
How much noise reduction is stated? The product description gives a figure of up to 28 dB and says it was tested in accordance with EN 352:2020.
Are they designed for shooting? Yes. The cups are shaped to help avoid interference with a rifle butt, and the earmuffs are described as hearing protection for shooting.
Can they be stored compactly? The headband folds, allowing the earmuffs to be stowed in a pocket or bag when they are not in use.
Is it worth it?
It’s a good fit if you want shooting earmuffs with a folding headband, a stated noise-reduction figure and a design intended to clear the rifle butt. Compared with a more basic, non-folding approach, the storage-friendly construction is a practical distinction, the 20-pack format may also suit a group or shared setting. Not the best choice if your required noise reduction is higher than the stated figure of up to 28 dB. The discontinued status is also worth weighing if access to replacement cushions matters to your decision.
