Pyramex VGPM8065C Venture Gear V80 Muff Foam 26-32 dB Over-the-Head Hearing Protection - Orange/Purple/Black, 1 Pair for Adults

The Pyramex Venture Gear V80 is a solid over-the-head hearing protection choice for shooters who want comfortable, no-fuss noise reduction at the range or in the field. These muff-style protectors deliver an NRR of 25 dB (SNR 32 dB), with the option to boost protection to an NRR of 37 dB when paired with foam earplugs—a practical setup for longer shooting sessions or high-volume environments. Built for adults, the V80 combines a low-profile design with soft foam ear cups and a fold-away padded headband, so you can stow them quickly between strings or adjust fit without wrestling with bulky hardware.

Hearing damage is cumulative and permanent, and foam muff protectors are a no-brainer for anyone who shoots regularly. The Pyramex V80 avoids the squeeze-and-ache trap of some rigid headbands; the padded design distributes pressure evenly, and the compact fold-away frame means they'll fit in a range bag or pack without eating up space. The orange, purple, and black color scheme keeps them visible in your gear so you don't accidentally leave them behind.

These are straightforward, affordable hearing protection—no passive amplification, no batteries, no moving parts to break. You put them on, they block noise, and that's the job done. Pair them with a quality pair of foam earplugs for maximum protection on the loudest days, or wear them alone for lighter duties around the shop or during casual shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between NRR and SNR on these muffs?

NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) is measured in lab conditions and is the standard rating used in the US. SNR (Single Number Rating) is an alternative metric used in some regions and tends to run higher. Both describe the same protective effect; the NRR 25 dB is the more commonly referenced spec for shooters.

Can I get more protection with these muffs?

Yes. Worn alone, the V80 delivers an NRR of 25 dB. When you layer them with foam earplugs, protection increases to an NRR of 37 dB—a setup many shooters use for high-volume rifle or shotgun work.

Are these muffs foldable for travel or storage?

Yes. The padded headband folds away, so the muffs pack down compactly and fit easily into a range bag or pack without taking up much room.

What sizes do these come in?

The Pyramex Venture Gear V80 is sized for adults. The padded headband adjusts to fit different head sizes comfortably.
