Gold II and Predator Gold: Premium Electronic Protection
The Gold II is Pro Ears' flagship electronic earmuff, available in NRR26 and NRR30 versions — the NRR30 rating is among the highest available in an electronic earmuff, relevant for shooters using magnum calibers or shooting suppressed-adjacent firearms where blast is still significant. The Predator Gold adds enhanced sound amplification for hunters who need to hear approaching game clearly between shots.
Stealth 28: Behind-the-Head and Earbud Options
The Stealth 28 line breaks from the standard over-the-head earmuff format — it's available as a behind-the-head band (which doesn't interfere with a cheek weld on a rifle) and as in-ear electronic earbuds, both with Bluetooth connectivity and NRR28 protection.
ReVo: Everyday and Youth Protection
The ReVo line covers both electronic (NRR25) and passive (NRR26) protection, including youth-sized models in kid-friendly patterns. The passive youth ReVo is a practical choice for a young shooter's first pair of earmuffs — no electronics to manage, just reliable passive protection sized for a smaller head.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NRR mean and how much do I need?
NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) measures how many decibels of protection an earmuff provides in ideal conditions. For rifle and handgun shooting, NRR25-26 is generally adequate; NRR30 provides extra margin for magnum calibers, indoor ranges, or shooters with sensitive hearing.
Do electronic earmuffs actually protect hearing, or just amplify sound?
Electronic earmuffs do both — they amplify quiet ambient sound for situational awareness, then automatically compress or cut off amplification the instant they detect a gunshot-level sound, so the protective rating applies at the moment it matters.
