The Caldwell E-Max Low-Profile electronic hearing protection combines stereo amplification with a compact earcup profile suited to shotgun and action shooting. Two microphones, one in each cup, amplify ambient sounds below an 85 dB threshold to preserve communication and situational awareness. When noise exceeds that threshold the circuitry momentarily stops amplification to limit exposure. The low-profile earcups reduce contact with firearm stocks and the headset folds for compact storage.
