The new low-profile E-Max hearing protection combines great circuitry with a low profile earcup that’s ideal for shotgun shooters and action shooters. The two microphones in the E-Max amplify sounds below 85 decibels, which amplifies normal communication, range commands, and environmental sounds. Above 85 decibels, the microphones shut off for a split second to protect the shooter’s hearing.It’s essential to maintain communication and detect and localize sounds in your immediate vicinity to ensu
Can’t beat the features at this price.,
Great headphones. Bought them for Dad for Christmas, tried them out immediately. Wearing the headphones, you can hear whispering and talking, but then clap your hands – you can’t hear it at all! Only filters out super-loud frequencies, and it does a darn good job at it! Great for yard work or firing range use. I highly, highly recommend this for low-cost hearing protection. Beats earplugs any day of the week.

Compared,
My Buddy and i took this pair and 4 other ear muffs out shooting to find out which ones we liked. We have narrowed it down to this and PELTOR PEL97044, we liked them both and were torn over the two. They both have great sound deadening, but i think these have the upper hand, witht he ease of battery install, one knob to adjust valume, and they amplify the outside noise to a higher volume then the Peltor ear muffs. We both liked the Peltor that they are more compact, and i think better looking, they dont have wires hanging our, and they have twice batteries, so they “should” last a little longer, however the accessing the batteries is kind of a pain, compared to the easy out side access panel the Caldwells. I think that either ear muff will work great for us, however these have the better sound, a slightly higher NRR (23 vs 20), and the one adjustment knob is easier to deal with, plus the Caldwell has a little simple “Idiot” light to let you know you left them on.

Works great, needs AAA not AA batteries,
These work as advertised. Conversation and other background noise are easy to hear when turned on, then silence in loud environments. They will be great on the shooting range. So far, have just used them in the shop working on projects.
Construction quality matches the entry level price, which is fine for most activities requiring hearing protection. Perfect for the range or shop, not for combat.
I would give 5 stars, but wanted a set that uses AA batteries. These need AAA, so product description is a little off.
