The Pyramex VGPME10 Venture Gear Clandestine Electronic Muff delivers advanced hearing protection with sound amplification technology for tactical and shooting applications. This electronic hearing protection combines 24dB noise reduction rating with ambient sound enhancement, allowing users to maintain situational awareness while protecting against harmful noise levels.
What Makes This Different
Unlike passive ear protection that blocks all sound, the Clandestine electronic muff amplifies low-level ambient sounds while instantly cutting off loud impulse noises above 82dB. The dual-microphone system provides directional hearing capability, helping users identify sound sources in tactical environments. Advanced compression circuitry responds in less than 0.5 milliseconds to sudden loud noises, providing faster protection than standard electronic muffs.
Key Features
- 24dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for comprehensive hearing protection
- Electronic sound amplification enhances ambient sounds up to 82dB
- Dual external microphones provide stereo directional hearing
- Low-profile design accommodates rifle stocks and tactical helmets
- Adjustable padded headband with secure over-ear positioning
- Battery-powered operation with automatic shut-off feature
- Durable black polymer construction resists impact and weather
The electronic circuitry performs consistently across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for outdoor training, hunting, and tactical operations. The low-profile ear cups clear most rifle stocks without interference, while the padded headband distributes weight evenly during extended wear. Audio clarity remains sharp even in windy conditions thanks to wind-resistant microphone design.
