Caldwell E-Max Pro 23dB Electronic Hearing Protection Aqua Blue

The Caldwell E-Max Pro 23dB electronic hearing protection delivers professional-grade sound amplification with instant noise reduction for shooters who demand both safety and situational awareness. This over-the-head design combines 23dB NRR protection with crystal-clear audio enhancement technology. Advanced electronic circuits amplify ambient sounds while instantly blocking harmful impulse noise above 85dB.

What Makes This Different

Unlike passive hearing protection that blocks all sound, the E-Max Pro features dual microphones that capture and amplify low-level sounds up to 4x normal hearing levels. The digital compression technology activates in less than 0.5 milliseconds when gunshots occur, providing immediate protection without cutting off completely. This allows shooters to maintain normal conversations and hear range commands while staying protected from damaging noise levels.

Key Features

• 23dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) meets ANSI S3.19 standards
• Dual directional microphones provide stereo sound amplification
• Digital compression circuitry with 0.5ms reaction time
• Adjustable headband fits head sizes 6.5" to 8.5" circumference
• Soft gel ear seals create comfortable, secure fit for extended wear
• Individual volume controls for left and right ear cups
• Runs on 2 AAA batteries with 300+ hour battery life

The E-Max Pro excels in dynamic shooting environments where communication is essential. Range instructors rely on the clear audio transmission for teaching, while competitive shooters use the enhanced hearing to detect subtle environmental cues. The low-profile design works under most shooting caps and provides consistent seal even during rapid head movements. Weather-resistant construction handles outdoor conditions without compromising electronic performance.
