How do the headphones work?
The headset features a button for switching on and off: a beep accompanies switch-on and switch-off. Two buttons (+ / -) are used to adjust the amplification volume. These are active headphones: they feature a sound modulation system to keep in touch with the environment, while attenuating acoustic shocks (ambient noise is reduced, but audible frequencies are maintained).
Our recommendations for use
Depending on your shooting style (ball-trap, hunting...) and location (shooting range, plain, forest...), you can adapt the amplification volume. You should be able to hear your surroundings, but there's no need to "over-amplify". Note: if you're outdoors, be aware of the wind, which can cause the microphones to blow.
What is the hearing protection level for this helmet?
SNR=25dB.
This value (Single Number Rating) provides information on the protective effect of hearing protection products. For example, these earmuffs with an SNR of 25 reduce the noise level to which you are exposed by up to 25 decibels.
H=28dB, M=21dB, L=16dB
Key features of these active noise-cancelling headphones
Lightweight (310g), the helmet is comfortable to wear thanks to its padded, foldable headband designed to adapt to every cranial morphology. Autonomy is close to 400 hours in standby mode with the 2 AAA batteries (although the helmet has a low-battery warning). The shells are waterproof, as is the battery compartment. This Sordin Supreme Pro X model also features a 3.5mm jack auxiliary audio input for walkie-talkies.
4 pre-programmed audio profiles to suit your needs
The headset features the new HEAR2 audio system, with 4 audio profiles that can be activated at any time:
-hunting mode (balance between hearing protection and amplification of ambient sounds)
-shooting mode (reduced sound spectrum for maximum concentration during shooting sessions)
-concentration mode (maximum amplification of surrounding sounds so that no sound escapes you)
-communication mode (no amplification of external sounds)
