Choosing the Right Ear Protection for Shooting

Not all ear protection is the same. The right choice depends on your shooting environment, level of exposure to gunfire, and how long you spend on the range or in the field.

Types of Shooting Ear Protection

  • Over-ear defenders – Ideal for outdoor shooting and high-noise environments. Available in passive and electronic formats.
  • In-ear plugs – Compact and lightweight, suitable for use with other headgear such as shooting glasses or hats.

Key Features to Consider

  • Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) – Indicates how much sound is blocked. Look for NRR 25 dB or higher for shooting.
  • Fit and comfort – Cushioned pads, adjustable headbands or flexible tips help with long-term wear.
  • Electronic features – Built-in microphones amplify ambient sounds while suppressing harmful gunshot noise.

All products in our collection are chosen to balance comfort, noise protection, and ease of use. Whether you prefer minimalist earplugs or fully-featured electronic earmuffs, you'll find an option that supports safe and effective shooting.
