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

I have had these for a year or so and have no complaints. They work great and having gel pads included is a huge plus. Those make them very comfortable to wear and are part of the reason they cost as much as they do. I teach firearms at an indoor range for police, corrections, and probation officers. We work 8 hour shifts with 20-25 students shooting on the line at the same time throughout the training and these work great. I also have a pair of Peltor sport and they reduce the decibels a little better but they do not stand up to long term use and break (5 different instructors have had them break in the same place and have had to have them replaced). The Sordin Pro-X are very sturdy and several instructors use them and have not had any breaks or issues. Their cost was the only part that made me hesitate but you buy once and only cry once. I think they are worth that cost since you will not have to replace them like you do with others that have poor quality or are not comfortable. They are easy to use, simple turn on button with a couple options for sound levels and quality. Easy to talk and they when the gunfire starts, they work like they are supposed to and reduce that sound. It would be nice if they had Bluetooth but that is the only feature missing for my needs. I shoot pistols so they are great for shooting those, their shape would probably make them useful for rifle shooting as well but I have not tried that myself as I leave them at my workplace and do not bring them home and we do not train rifles at the basic academy any longer.

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.

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.

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.

A billion people especially YouTube and influencers use these things. I'd used Walkers forever and shooting shotguns for a few hours I had some ringing in my ears later in the day. Not good. I decided it was time to invest in nicer hearing protection. These are insanely comfortable - you'll notice that right off the bag. Some guys like the ones with a bad that goes around the back of your head (idk why they call it a 'neck' band). It's up to you. They work very well, but the batteries are a nightmare to install and remove. I was stupid and out of the box put one battery in backwards. It probably took me half an hour to get it back out. The instructions say to lightly tap the muff to get it out. Yeah right... I think I ended up using a very small long flat screw driver to try and pry on it. Apparently people break these things over changing batteries which is partially why Sordin just released a new version of these. Conveniently less than a year after I bought these. My other gripe is somewhat of a nitpick, but the way the mic picks up sound it makes it sound like I have a lisp when I talk which is just a little distracting at times. I will say as a plus, if you have had cheaper Walkers that picked up bad static from other electronic devices - you won't notice that or at least not nearly as bad with these. Overall pretty happy with them. I feel like they should cost significantly less, but is what it is.

They are not cheap but work awesome. You pay for what you get here.

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

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

Encore mieux que le Sportac !!

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.

Correspond parfaitement aux attentes !
