The AXIL MX-PASS-E passive earmuffs deliver professional-grade hearing protection for shooters who demand reliable noise reduction without electronic complexity. These over-ear protectors combine comfort with consistent 25dB noise reduction rating across all frequency ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic foam earplugs that compress unevenly, the MX-PASS-E maintains consistent seal pressure through its dual-density foam cushions and adjustable headband system. The low-profile cup design clears rifle stocks and bow strings while maintaining full coverage over the ear canal. Independent testing confirms the 25dB NRR rating remains stable through temperature variations and extended wear periods.

Range testing shows the MX-PASS-E effectively attenuates both impulse noise from centerfire rifles and sustained noise from rapid-fire sequences. The sealed cup design blocks wind noise during outdoor shooting while allowing normal conversation at safe volume levels. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent performance across different ammunition types and firing positions.
