Electronic hearing protection rated at 23dB noise reduction, with microphones that amplify quiet ambient sound so you can hold a conversation while wearing them. When a loud impulse hits, the compression circuit cuts the amplification instantly, then restores it. That is the whole argument over passive muffs, which protect just as well but leave you unable to hear anything. The cups are low profile, which matters if you are shouldering anything, and the headband folds for storage. There is an AUX input for audio. Battery powered, so they need cells on hand. Useful well beyond the range: mowing, leaf blowing, shop work, and anywhere you want protection without going deaf to the person next to you.
Pros
- Amplifies quiet sound so you can hear conversation, then cuts loud noise instantly
- 23dB noise reduction rating with a slim cup profile that stays out of the way
- Folds flat for storage in a range bag or a shop drawer
- AUX input lets you run audio in while still protected
Cons
- They run on batteries, so a dead cell turns them into ordinary passive muffs with no amplification
Frequently asked questions
Do they work as protection if the batteries die?
Yes. They still function as passive muffs at the same noise reduction rating, you just lose the amplification of ambient sound.
Can I hear normal conversation while wearing them?
That is the point of the design. The microphones amplify quiet sound, so a conversation is audible until a loud impulse triggers the compression circuit.
Are they only for shooting?
No. The same amplify-then-cut behavior is useful for mowing, leaf blowing, woodworking, and any loud task where you still want to hear someone talking.
Will they fit over glasses?
The slim cups accommodate thin temple arms reasonably well. Thick or wraparound frames can break the seal and reduce the protection rating.
