Install

Howard Leight Impact Sport and similar headsets:

For Howard Leight Impact Sport / Impact Pro / similar models, remove the original pads by pulling them straight outward. Then, take the Noisefighters ear pads and slide the flexible outer lip underneath the headset's tabs. Next, press the pads lightly against the headset for at least 10 seconds to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive. During installation, we recommend prioritizing the sides of the pad first, then the top and bottom. See the following picture to confirm that our universal, rounded design does fit perfectly, even though it does not follow the original rectangular shape.
If you wish to learn why we now recommend using an adhesive backer for our ear pads, even on headsets like Impact Sport / Impact Pro / similar models, please visit our FAQ page where we discuss the evolution of our product in more detail.
Our adhesive is not permanent, and removal of the pads does not degrade the adhesive if one takes care to avoid contaminating it. We have removed and reinstalled a single pair of pads more than 50 times and did not detect a measurable change in bonding strength. Use light pressure to activate adhesive.

While there is an existing plastic snap-in plate on the that can be removed, the factory-provided ear pads can be easily peeled off their underlying plastic plates and replaced with our upgraded pads. It does take some effort to peel the original pads off.
The key to proper mounting is cleaning and pressure. After peeling off the original pads, use a degreaser or similar cleaning product to remove any remaining residue on the underlying plastic mounting plate. Next, after aligning our pads, press them lightly against the headset for at least ten seconds in order to active the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Pressure must be applied during application to activate this adhesive.

The best tool for removing the original mounting plates is a coin like a U.S. penny or quarter. As shown in the video, make sure to line up the headband clip with the side of the headset in order to expose the (mostly hidden) groove where a tool can be inserted to pry / pop off the mounting plate.

If your original fabric-covered foam pieces that cover the speakers inside your T5 / Sordin / Liberator / Peltor / etc headset have worn out, please contact us before ordering and we will include a free pair of generic foam inserts. They will protect the speakers from detritus and prevent your ears from affecting the emitted sounds.
