Caldwell E-Max 23 dB Low-Profile Over-the-Head Hearing Protection Muffs - Pink/Black

The Caldwell E-Max 23 dB Low-Profile Over-the-Head Hearing Protection Muffs offer active hearing defense built for shooters who need to stay aware of their surroundings without sacrificing ear protection. The low-profile earcup design makes these muffs comfortable under shotgun stocks and AR platforms, making them a natural fit for clay sports, action shooting events, and field hunting. Unlike passive muffs that block everything, the E-Max amplifies ambient sounds and range commands below 85 decibels so you hear teammates, game, and your environment clearly—then instantly cuts off protection above that threshold to shield against impulse noise and gunfire.

The dual-microphone setup delivers true stereo amplification, letting you pinpoint the directional source of sounds. That situational awareness is a genuine advantage whether you're reading wind during a shotgun stage, tracking dog work in the field, or coordinating with other hunters. The adjustable volume control lets you dial in exactly the level you want, and an integrated audio input jack means you can run music or range communications through the muffs if needed. Two AAA batteries power the electronics (not included in the box).

Built tough for field use and rated at 23 dB noise reduction, these muffs balance hearing protection with the kind of real-world awareness serious shooters demand. The pink-and-black color scheme doesn't compromise function—it just makes them easy to spot in your gear bag or around the range.
