Active hearing protection for hunting, rifle shooting, and shooting ranges

These active hearing protectors are designed for hunters and shooters who want to reduce loud gun noise without blocking out regular ambient sounds.

The built-in microphones pick up ambient sounds and can amplify them up to 7 times. This allows you to continue hearing conversations, instructions, and movements in the terrain while wearing the hearing protection.

In the event of gunfire or other loud impulse noise, the electronics react in just 0.02 seconds, limiting the loud sounds. The hearing protection has a stated attenuation value of 23 dB.

What is active hearing protection?

Active hearing protection — also known as electronic hearing protection — combines traditional noise reduction with microphones and electronics.

The microphones allow you to hear normal sounds around you, while the electronics automatically react when the sound level suddenly becomes loud.

This makes active hearing protection particularly practical for hunting and at the shooting range, where you need to be able to communicate while simultaneously reducing exposure to gun noise.

Why use active hearing protection for hunting?

When hunting, it's often important to be able to hear more than just your hunting companions.

For example, you may need to hear:

  • movements in the terrain
  • messages from other hunters
  • signals during group hunts
  • instructions from the hunt leader
  • wildlife nearby

With active hearing protection, normal sounds can still be picked up without needing to remove the hearing protection between shots.

Up to 7x amplification of ambient sound

The microphones can amplify normal sounds up to 7 times.

This can make it easier to pick up faint sounds and communicate with others, especially in situations where you would otherwise struggle to hear through traditional passive hearing protection.

Fast reaction to gun noise

When loud impulse noise occurs, the hearing protection reacts electronically with a stated reaction time of just 0.02 seconds.

This makes the model suitable for activities with repeated shots, such as:

  • rifle shooting
  • clay pigeon shooting
  • sighting in
  • shooting practice
  • hunting tests
  • general practice at the shooting range

Low profile for rifles and shotguns

Large hearing protectors can get in the way between the cheek and the rifle stock.

This model therefore features slim earcups with a low profile, providing more space when bringing the weapon to the shoulder.

This makes the model suitable for both rifles and shotguns.

Hearing protection for the shooting range

At the shooting range, you can be exposed to many shots in a short period.

The active microphones allow you to continue hearing the range officer's instructions and talk to other shooters without constantly having to remove your hearing protection.

The attenuation value is 23 dB.

AUX input for hunting radio and audio sources

The hearing protection has an AUX input and comes with an AUX cable.

It can be used for wired connection to, for example, a compatible hunting radio or other audio source with an appropriate output.

Adjustable and foldable design

The adjustable headband allows for a customized fit and enables the hearing protection to be worn with most common hunting caps.

When not in use, the hearing protection can be folded, making it more compact in your hunting bag or backpack.

The package contains:

  • Active hearing protection
