The Caldwell E-Max Low-Profile electronic hearing protection is designed for shotgun and action shooters who need situational awareness combined with hearing protection. Built with true stereo microphones and circuitry that amplifies ambient sounds below 85 decibels, the E-Max preserves communication and environmental cues. When sound levels exceed the protection threshold the circuitry momentarily attenuates input to protect hearing while minimizing interruption. The earcups feature a low-profile shape to reduce stock contact and fold compactly for transport.
