Materials & care

What level of hearing protection does the Supreme X2 with Gel Earseals provide?
The headset delivers high attenuation with an SNR of 29 dB and an NRR of 23 dB. This level of protection is well suited to most hunting and shooting environments, reducing harmful impulse noise while preserving awareness through electronic amplification. The slim cup design achieves this performance without adding unnecessary bulk.
How does the level-dependent amplification benefit shooters?
Level-dependent amplification enhances quiet ambient sounds while automatically limiting loud noises such as gunshots. The Supreme X2 provides excellent directionality, helping shooters identify sound sources quickly. This allows you to stay alert and responsive in the field without removing your ear defenders.
Are the silicone-gel earseals comfortable for long shooting sessions?
Yes, the silicone-gel cushions mould to the wearer’s head, reducing pressure points and improving comfort during prolonged use. They also maintain a reliable acoustic seal, even when worn with glasses or eye protection. This makes them an ideal choice for extended hunts or long days on the range.
Is the Supreme X2 waterproof for outdoor use?
The X2 is built with waterproofed electronics and a sealed battery compartment, making it dependable in wet, muddy or cold conditions. This durability ensures the headset continues performing even during demanding field weather. It is designed specifically for users who frequently operate in tough outdoor environments.
What materials are used in the X2 with Gel Earseals?
The headset uses ABS cups with PU foam inserts, a stainless-steel/plastic suspension assembly and silicone-gel sealing cushions. This combination provides both strength and comfort, ensuring the headset is rugged enough for field use while maintaining long-wear performance. Regular inspection of seals and replacing cushions when worn helps maintain long-term effectiveness.
Does the slim cup profile affect compatibility with eyewear?
The slim profile works very well with glasses, helping prevent the seal from breaking around the arms of eyewear. The gel cushions further improve this compatibility by moulding around glasses without increasing pressure. Shooters who use prescription glasses or safety eyewear will find the fit particularly accommodating.
Is the Supreme X2 suitable for both left- and right-handed shooters?
Yes, the low-profile cups and balanced design ensure it works seamlessly for both left- and right-shoulder shooting positions. The compact shape reduces interference with rifle stocks regardless of shooting side. This makes the headset versatile for multiple shooting disciplines.
How should I maintain the headset for long-term performance?
It is recommended to regularly inspect the silicone-gel cushions for wear, ensuring they maintain a full seal. Wipe down the cups and headband after use, especially when exposed to mud or moisture.
