Description

This model is unlike other Gold II models. It uses a padded metal headband for extra security and durability. It is adjustable and strong.

The Pro Ears Gold II 26 was designed similar to our Pro Ears Golds, however we removed the ear jacks to reduce cost in the manufacturing process. Pro Ears Golds are still the world’s most advanced electronic ear and hearing protection for shooting, hunting, and industrial applications.

The Pro Ears superior DLSC technology allows the competitive shooter, hunter, and law enforcement agent to hear every sound, including conversation, even during high volume noise spikes. Pro Ears electronic earmuffs achieve a perfect balance between comfort, noise attenuation, and purity of sound.

The Pro Ears Gold II 26 amplifies sounds up to 8x with high fidelity. Proprietary DLSC compression technology for a clean and natural uninterrupted sound quality while shooting.

Ideal for indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, pistols and long guns alike.

Available in Black only.

Made in the USA.

Rated 5 out of 5

Great Set of Muffs
Made in the USA. High-quality sound. Love the high NRR. Superior comfort compared to others I have worn due to the Gel Ear Seals. I have used then at indoor ranges and trap shooting. Excellent protection.

Professional Grade Hearing Protection
Rec’d these as a Christmas gift from my wife. The NRR of 26 is very adequate protection. I like the sturdy metal headband (it folds up nice too) and the very comfortable ear seals. I have no complaints on the sound quality as well. The only drawback I can think of is the batteries are inside the cup, wishing they had external access. These are excellent hearing protection and strongly recommend them.

Clean, simple, yet advanced and made in the USA!!!
Color: Black With Metal Headband
This is my first pair of electronic earmuffs. These will be used for the gun range, and target shooting outdoors.

I also considered Walkers and Peltor, but I’m glad I learned about Pro Ears. These are made here in the US by actual people. The competition is made in China.

I chose the Gold II with the metal band (plastic band has mixed reviews). The price was a bit more than the other two I was considering, but being made in the US, gel cups, and 5 year warranty sealed the deal.

These are a no-nonsense muff. Put in the battery and adjust the volume. One thing that is cool is that each ear cup is standalone. Meaning there is no connection between the 2. Each side has its own circuitry, power, microphone, and volume knob. Kind of cool.

Long live American manufacturing!!!
