Caldwell E-Max Low-Profile Electronic Hearing Protection Muffs 23dB - Mossy Oak Break-Up/Black

The Caldwell E-Max Low-Profile Electronic Hearing Protection Muffs deliver serious noise defense without the bulk that interferes with your shooting form. These electronic shooting muffs combine dual-microphone amplification and impulse suppression in a compact design that sits closer to your head than traditional earcups—a game-changer for shotgun shooters, action shooters, and anyone working a rifle or handgun at the range or in the field. The low-profile fit means less contact with your gun stock, better cheek weld, and clearer sight picture when you're shouldering a shotgun or settling into position.

Here's how they work: two independent microphones—one in each cup—amplify ambient sounds and voices below 85 decibels in true stereo, so you hear range commands and environmental cues clearly and can pinpoint where a sound is coming from. The moment a gunshot or loud impulse exceeds 85 decibels, the microphones cut out for a fraction of a second, protecting your ears from damage while the circuit instantly resets. That means you get hearing protection and situational awareness in the same package. The built-in audio input jack lets you add music or additional audio if you want, and an easy-access volume control knob keeps you in command. A power indicator light shows you the muffs are active, and the padded adjustable headband adapts to different head sizes and shooting positions. The Mossy Oak Break-Up camo finish blends into field or range environments, and the compact fold design makes them easy to stow in a range bag or pack. Powered by two AAA batteries (sold separately), they're ready to go wherever your season takes you.

Whether you're running clay courses, training at the range, or preparing for the season, the E-Max gives you professional-grade hearing protection without sacrificing comfort, fit, or the ability to hear what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these muffs work for shotgun shooting or rifle hunting?

Yes. The low-profile earcup design is specifically engineered to minimize interference with gun stock contact, making them ideal for shotgun shooters and anyone shouldering a rifle. They won't get in the way of your cheek weld or sight picture.

How do the microphones protect my hearing?

The two microphones amplify normal conversation and range sounds below 85 decibels so you can hear commands and environmental cues. When a gunshot or other loud impulse exceeds 85 decibels, the microphones instantly shut off for a split second, blocking the dangerous noise while the circuit resets. This lets you stay aware without sacrificing hearing protection.

Can I use these at the range and listen to music or training audio?

Yes. The integrated audio input jack allows you to connect a music source or training audio if you want, giving you flexibility for different shooting sessions.

What batteries do these require?

The E-Max runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are not included. A power indicator light shows when the muffs are active so you know they're on.
