Active hearing protection for hunting, rifle shooting, and the shooting range

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

The built-in microphones pick up ambient sound and can amplify it up to 7 times. You can therefore continue to hear conversations, instructions, and movements in the terrain while wearing the hearing protection.

For gunshots and other loud impulse noises, the electronics react in just 0.02 seconds and limit 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 make it possible to hear ordinary 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 also reducing exposure to gunshot noise.

Why use active hearing protection for hunting?

When hunting, it is 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 driven hunts
• instructions from the hunt leader
• game nearby

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

Up to 7× amplification of ambient sound

The microphones can amplify ordinary 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 have difficulty hearing through traditional passive hearing protection.

Fast reaction to gunshot noise

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

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

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

Low profile for rifle and shotgun

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

This model therefore features slim, low-profile ear cups, providing better clearance when the weapon is brought to the shoulder.

This makes the model suitable for both rifles and shotguns.

Hearing protection for the shooting range

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

The active microphones make it possible to continue hearing the range officer's instructions and talk to other shooters without having to constantly take the headset off.

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.

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

Adjustable and foldable design

The adjustable headband allows you to customize the fit and wear the hearing protection with most standard hunting caps.

When not in use, the hearing protection can be folded up, taking up less space in your hunting bag or backpack.

What is included?

The package contains:

• Active hearing protection
• AUX cable
• User manual
• Case

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about active hearing protection

Yes. Active hearing protectors are particularly practical for hunting because you can hear conversations and movements around you while keeping the hearing protection on.

Can the hearing protection be used for both rifles and shotguns?

Yes. The ear cups have a low profile, which provides better clearance around the cheek and gun stock for both rifle and shotgun shooting.

How fast does the hearing protection react to a shot?

The stated reaction time for loud impulse noise is 0.02 seconds.

How much does the hearing protection attenuate?

The hearing protection has a stated attenuation value of 23 dB.

Can the hearing protection amplify sounds around me?

Yes. Ambient sound can be amplified up to 7 times through the built-in microphones.

Can I use the hearing protection at the shooting range?

Yes. It is suitable for activities such as rifle shooting, clay pigeon shooting, sighting in, and general shooting practice.
