To put it simply, is a gunshot louder with the mic turned up to hear range commands than with it off?

NO. I think some are having trouble understanding the concept. The sound will be reduced by the same amount with the unit turned on or off. That's passive unlike active like noise-cancelling muffs like Bose. When turned on, it will amplify sound below 82db. (A busy street is more than 82db) Anything below 82db, like a range instructor's commands, will be amplified and you can turn the volume all the way up and leave it their. When a sound is above the cutoff of 82db, like a gunshot, the mics will shut off and go back into passive mode until the sound drops below the cutoff, and then go back to amplified mode. The mics will never amplify a sound greater than the cutoff of 82db. Hope this helps.

what's the difference btwn these and the Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs ?

The main differences are Size and Noise Reduction.The Sport model has a noise reduction rating of 22dbThe PRO model has a Noise reduction rating of 30dbBecause of extra noise reduction provided by the PRO version, they have a much larger profile.The larger size COULD be in the way if your using them with a rifle, if you use a handgun, the size should not be an issue.In my personal opinion if the larger "bulk" is not an issue then go for the maximum protection you can get!Your hearing will thank you!

How well do the earcups seal while worn over shooting glasses?

I just did my first range shooting today. I was able to borrow a pair of these cups. I wear glasses. I had absolutely NO problems with the seal letting in extraneous noise. Even with 30dB of reduction, the noise is still quite loud, but not enough that your ears will be damaged, or even be ringing, when your shooting day ends. I just put in my order for a pair of them. Highly recommended!

How do these compare to the 3M Peltor Tactical Sport Hearing Protector for around $100? Would really appreciate pros and cons between them.

The tactical sports cost me $150 when I got and after 2 years stopped working. Peltor wanted over $100 to fix them. These cost less and still work after 2 years.
