Caldwell E-Max Low Profile Electronic Hearing Protection Shooting Glasses Combo
The Caldwell E-MAX Low Profile Electronic Hearing Protection Shooting Glasses Combo is basically a two-in-one range setup that combines electronic earmuffs + ballistic shooting glasses into a single package so you’re not juggling separate gear. The earmuffs use dual microphones that amplify quiet sounds like voices and range commands, but instantly cut off noise above about 85 dB to protect your hearing. They’re low-profile, so they sit closer to your head and don’t get in the way as much when shouldering a rifle or shotgun. The included shooting glasses meet ANSI Z87.1 safety standards, so they’re impact-rated for range use, and they usually feature adjustable arms and nose pieces for fit. It’s powered by AAA batteries and sits in the budget-friendly category of electronic ear pro, aimed at casual and range shooters who want convenience more than premium audio or military-grade sealing.

Caldwell E-Max Low Profile Electronic Hearing Protection Shooting Glasses Combo
The Caldwell Low Profile E-Max Electronic Earmuffs combine great circuitry with a low-profile ear cup that is ideal for shotgun shooters and action shooters.
The two microphones in the E-Max amplify sounds below 85 decibels, which amplifies normal communication, range commands and environmental sounds.
Above 85 decibels, the microphones shut off to protect the shooters hearing. Ear cup width is 1.75 inches and two AAA batteries are required but not included.
Enabled with one stereo microphone in each cup, the user can localize sound from all directions.

1. What is this combo used for?
It’s used for hearing and eye protection at shooting ranges, combining electronic earmuffs with safety-rated shooting glasses.
2. How does the hearing protection work?
It amplifies quiet sounds but shuts off amplification when noise exceeds about 85 dB, like gunfire.
3. What is the noise reduction rating (NRR)?
Typically around 23 dB, depending on the version of the E-MAX low-profile system.
4. Do the glasses protect against impacts?
Yes, they are rated to ANSI Z87.1 standards, meaning they’re designed for ballistic-style eye protection.
5. Can you hear conversations with them on?
Yes, the electronic microphones amplify speech and ambient sounds for better situational awareness.
6. Do they have audio input?
Yes, many versions include an auxiliary audio jack for radios or music devices.
7. What batteries do they use?
They typically run on 2 AAA batteries (not always included).
8. Are they comfortable for long sessions?
They’re fairly lightweight and low-profile, but comfort is more “entry-level range gear” than premium foam-sealed ear pro.
9. Are they good for rifles and shotguns?
Yes, the slim earcups help reduce interference when mounting long guns.
10. What’s the main downside?
Both the ear protection and glasses are budget-tier, so sealing, durability, and optics clarity aren’t as strong as higher-end separate systems.
