Sordin Pro-X Ear Muffs - Active and Electronic Ear Defenders w/Leather Headband - Gel Pads - Earmuffs for Hunting & Shooting

These are expensive, but are well made and work very well. Comfortable, lightweight and fold up smaller than you would think.

If you are like me, this was always the one factor that prevented me from pulling the trigger on them. Well, it depends, is the answer. If you are a casual shooter who spends an hour or so on the range at a time you definitely have more economical alternatives such as the very popular Howard Leights, Walker Razors etc. However, if you an SO, instructor or competitive shooter, you may want to consider these. Why? Well to answer that question, it again depends on what’s important to you. For me: 1. Comfort – as all of the above, I require all day comfort. The gel cups conforms especially nicely around eye protection arms, and create a much nicer seal without casing the arms to ‘dig’ into your temple. Now I will say that you can get gel cups for the Howard Leights as an example, but these are expensive for what they are (almost the cost of the muffs themselves), now you are almost half way to a set of MSA/Sordins. These also seem to provide just the right amount of tension without again, digging in to your head. Time will tell if this changes with wear. 2. Waterproof – again, in my experience, I have found that some of the above mentioned brands do not weather the storm (pun intended) well. I have had to replace more then 1 set of muffs after SO/shooting a match in the rain. This is still TBD as I haven’t tested this as of yet. 3. Sound clarity/Directional pickup – again, to me this is an important factor, as I need to have situational awareness for safety reasons. Where are my other students, competitors, SO etc. Some negatives: 1. The noise reduction rating isn’t as good as some of the competition. I have always doubled up on hearing protection at indoor ranges and you will definitely need to do so with these. Overall, I am very happy – so far – with my decision to purchase these. Again, these are just some of my personal experiences and reason for choosing to go with these, your circumstances may be different.

Yes, these are expensive. But after returning a cheaper set, the Sordin Pro-X showed me what quality hearing protection should be. Clear on/off feedback, excellent fit, natural audio quality, and reliable electronic suppression. Build quality feels premium and durable. Bottom Line: Not cheap, but this is safety equipment - not the place to cut corners. Highly recommended.

Wow. I have to admit these have been in my "Saved for later" for quite some time. I have shopped around and always came back to these. The going price everywhere is a hard pill to swallow. I am glad to say the investment is well worth it. Quality build, simple operation, slim design, comfort second to none. The digital noise cancelation is phenomenal. When in hunting mode it amps your hearing to scary terminator levels. You can hear subtle noises with direction (which is key) when your life depends on it. I have used Walker, Peltor higher end models for years and glad I made the change but upset I didn't do it sooner. When you want to get serious about ear pro, do not hesitate. You truly get what you pay for.

For $300+ I honestly expected more quality from this compared to the cheaper Walkers or Howard Leight electronic ear muffs. Lets start with the pros: 1) Good seal, always love the gel pad fit and feel. 2) Good noise cancelling, though honestly couldn't differentiate the 2 db difference (which should be significant) between these and my Howard Leight. Will probably need to take them to the range for more testing. 3) Excellent adjustability for all head shapes and sizes. This is probably the best pro for me since the ear muffs didn't angle outward, thus breaking the seal, when on my wife's shorter/slimmer head as compared to my Howard Leight. Now for the bad: 1) The photos, taken right out of the package, clearly show that this was a used product passed off as new. 2) The non name-brand batteries were dead upon arrival, requiring me to install my own to even test whether the electronic noise reduction worked. 3) The battery compartment needs updating. Putting in batteries is fine, but the video shows that the batteries come out as if all lubed up. I had to pry and prod at the first installed battery since it was stuck, and no amount of shaking was going to loosen it. 4) There is some loose object on the right ear muff. Every time I walk or bounce up and down, I hear what sounds like a spring or loose object jangling around in the right ear muff. Honestly, with the gel pads on my Howard Leight, I am having a hard time understanding why I would pay $200+ more on these. Maybe mine was a the reject of the bunch, but for $300+, I honestly expected better quality. This was not a good first impression.

If you're looking for a headset that makes you forget that you're wearing ear pro, these are an excellent choice. The gel cups are really comfortable and the sound dampening is quite accurate. There is even a 3.5mm jack that you can use to plug in your phone if you're a nerd like me (although you will be disappointed by the bass). One slight annoyance is that the battery installation and removal process actually sucks pretty bad. A tool, like a pencil or chopstick, is required for battery installation. Battery removal is basically a lottery. The only thing that makes up for this is the extremely long advertised battery life. I have so far gotten quite a few hours out of my headset, but not long enough to really stretch the battery life. Overall an excellent (and quite luxurious) ear pro experience. Definitely get your money's worth.

These are some of the best. Make sure you don't leave this on and kill your battery. Can be hard to hear the beeps if you're hard-of-hearing, so turn it on in the car or a quiet space. Use some strong cylindrical magnets to get the inner battery out. Active protection is the best!

Bought these for shooting - getting older and finding I just can't hear speech well enough with passive hearing protectors. These are amazing.

単4電池2本で動くが、正直なところ交換するの大変。入れたら取り出すのが難しい。 コンパクトでそれなりに丈夫。 自分は射撃と狩猟両方に使ってる。 この型は収音モード？が2パターンあって 周囲の音を広く拾うモードと非収音性電子イヤーマフと同じような狭い範囲のやつがある。イヤーマフ横側のボタンで操作可能。 また3.5mmイヤホンジャックがあるので無線機とも接続ができる。 耳に触れる部分のゲルパットは破損しやすいものの、かなりデコボコにフィットするので遮音材も高く、冬はあったかい。 ゲルパットのみ交換もできる。 日本で買うと関税がかかるので注意

Habia probado diferentes protectores auditivos para la caza, desde los peltor lep 100, los howards y algún otro de diferentes formas... en todos coincidía con lo mismo, un retraso en la anulación del ruido y el bloqueo total de la audición, con estos puedes mantener una conversación perfectamente y el sonido no es “metalico”. Para mi son los que más se aproximan a lo más natural posible y con unas orejeras de gel son muy cómodos. Soy consciente de lo elevado de su precio, pero compensan por lo que protegen y es para muchos años. Además puedes usarlos con lluvia por ser impermeables y en ruido ambiental se mantiene a unos niveles muy aceptables.

These ear defenders are absolutely amazing! Get the settings right and conversations are crystal clear and you'll hardly hear the report from a shotgun or 0.308 rifle, both of which are extremely loud (> 120 DB) . My first pair are 7yrs old and still as good as new. The othe r two pairs I've received were for my wife and son. I've always gone for the gel cups - worth every penny especially if you wear glasses. I tried some different brands which were cheaper but also bulkier so poor cheek to stock fit. I'm sticking with sordin!

Ho acquistato queste cuffie circa un anno fa. Ottimo prodotto, con una qualità audio ed ergonomia eccezionali. Un mese fa, senza alcun motivo apparente, smettono di funzionare! Provo a contattare il venditore, ACE EUROPE, e a chiedere informazioni visto e considerato che, un problema del genere, sicuramente non me lo aspetto da un paio di cuffie del genere. Il venditore, non solo ha risposto prontamente ad ogni mia domanda in più, nell'arco di 24 ore, ha mandato al mio indirizzo un corriere che ha ritirato il prodotto, lo ha consegnato per la riparazione alla casa madre e dopo tre settimane, me le ha riconsegnate perfettamente funzionanti. Tutto questo a costo zero! Forse a molti tutto ciò sembrerà normale, ma acquisto sul web da anni e questa è la prima volta che ricevo un trattamento post vendita così eccellente. Quindi, ottimo venditore e ottimo prodotto... Ultra consigliato!
