Sordin Supreme Pro X: Tested and Reviewed By A Range Coach

I tested several high-quality range earmuffs, and this pair from Sordin definitely stands out from the competition. Here's my hands-on review.

FYI, prices and ratings are accurate as of time of writing.

If you need all day comfort for your ears, then look no further, friends, because these earmuffs from Sordin are unbeatable.

Why should you trust me? I’m an NRA instructor, meaning I have extensive range time. I’ve tried a lot on the market, and these may be my new favorite. Without a doubt I can vouch for the Sordin Supreme's quality.

Sordin Pro-X - Electronic Ear Defenders

HIGHLIGHT:

Military-level ear protection.

WATERPROOF TESTING:

These are the only waterproof hearing protectors I've seen on the market. I tested this claim thoroughly. In a simulated rainstorm (aka my shower), they worked perfectly, although I did get a little feedback from the wet microphones. Submerged in water for two hours (aka my bathtub) they still functioned pretty well, although the microphones again had feedback.

FIELD USE:

For duck hunting or similar wet conditions, you’re gonna be just fine. I recommend choosing the orange camo finish to avoid losing them. These muffs excel at noise reduction, too, and really handle loud noises from the gun shop machines. They do that well while still allowing me to hear my surroundings through the directional microphones.

COMFORT:

The comfort is exceptional. I wore them for three hours without discomfort, even with eyeglasses.

RADIO COMPATIBILITY:

They include a 3.5 mm jack for two-way radios, and the manufacturer offers a splitter for inputting two radios into one headset.

BATTERY ACCESS:

The battery compartment can be tricky, so just be aware. It requires small tools for battery replacement, but it's watertight.

MIC NOISE:

The constant white noise from the microphones is noticeable in quiet environments, but you can turn it off so that’s nice.

FINAL TAKEAWAY:

The comfort and build quality are simply unbeatable. I mean, if you need waterproof hearing protection, these are the best you’re gonna find. However, the price is steep. In my opinion, protecting your hearing is worth it, but I understand why these could be out of reach for some people.
