Great Gear: ATN Corp. X-Sound Hearing Protection

ATN X-Sound hearing protection provides 22+ dB noise reduction while delivering natural sound with omnidirectional microphones. Its sound-activated compression circuit has a reaction time of .02 seconds, and by using a smartphone or other Bluetooth-compatible device, users can connect their ATN X-Sound earmuffs to music, podcasts and phone calls. The low-power earmuffs are ergonomically designed with low-profile ear cups that allow for full clearance of a rifle or shotgun stock without having to adjust the earmuffs or the gun. An audio input jack and two high-gain omnidirectional microphones are built in, and a compact folding design makes storage easy. The comfortable headband is on a durable metal frame that keeps the earmuffs from slipping. MSRP: $119. Contact: www.atncorp.com
