With a short decay time after a shot, the Supreme X2 restores ambient sound quickly so you can stay aware between shots. The pre-set SordinHEAR2 audio profiles (Hunter, Focus, Shooter, Ambient Off) ensure the headset can be tailored to different environments and shooting scenarios.

• Sound level limitation to a maximum of 82 dB(A) for consistent hearing protection.
• High ambient sound amplification with natural reproduction and no “chopping” or abrupt cut-out.
• Short decay time after shots to restore ambient awareness quickly.

Build Quality & Handling

The Supreme X2 is constructed with ABS shell cups and PU foam inserts, supported by a stainless steel and plastic suspension system for durability in demanding outdoor conditions. Memory-foam sealing rings around ABS or PVC foil provide a plush, secure seal while the slim cup profile keeps bulk to a minimum, which is especially helpful for shooters who wear glasses or prefer a closer fit. With a choice of leather or detachable textile headband cover, it offers both robustness and comfort without feeling overly heavy at a weight of 309 g.

Is the Supreme X2 Easy to Use?

The adjustable headband and memory-foam cushions make achieving a comfortable, stable fit simple for a wide range of head sizes.

Key Takeaways of the Sordin Supreme X2 Electronic Shooting Ear Defenders with Memory Foam

The Sordin Supreme X2 Electronic Shooting Ear Defenders with Memory Foam stand out for combining strong electronic hearing protection with high ambient sound amplification and a natural listening experience. Their waterproof construction, wide operating temperature range and robust materials make them well suited to varied and demanding outdoor use, while the memory-foam sealing rings and slim cup profile support long-wear comfort and eyewear compatibility. The main consideration is that the low-profile design focuses on a close fit rather than oversized cups, which most shooters will appreciate but those seeking very large internal volume should note. Overall, they are an excellent choice for hunters and target shooters who prioritise situational awareness, durable construction and extended-wear comfort in one package.

Sordin Supreme X2 Electronic Shooting Ear Defenders with Memory Foam FAQs

How much hearing protection do the Supreme X2 ear defenders provide?

The Supreme X2 offers an SNR of 29 and an NRR of 23, with a sound level limitation of 82 dB(A). This combination delivers strong protection from gunfire and other high-level impulse sounds while still allowing electronic ambient-sound amplification. It is designed to reduce harmful noise without completely isolating you from your surroundings.

What makes the Supreme X2’s sound amplification different from basic electronic ear defenders?

The Supreme X2 provides high ambient sound amplification with natural reproduction, specifically avoiding the “chopping” or abrupt cut-out that can be distracting in simpler electronic systems. A short decay time after a shot means ambient sounds return quickly, helping you maintain awareness on the range or in the field. This balance ensures both safety and a more natural listening experience.

What are the SordinHEAR2 profiles on the Supreme X2?

The Supreme X2 includes pre-set SordinHEAR2 audio profiles: Hunter, Focus, Shooter and Ambient Off. Each mode adjusts how ambient sounds are processed and amplified to suit different situations, from quiet stalking to busy ranges. This allows you to tune the headset’s behaviour to your environment without changing hardware.

Is the Supreme X2 suitable for use in bad weather?

Yes, the Supreme X2 is designed with waterproof construction for reliable performance in wet and damp conditions. It can be used in rain, mist or generally damp environments without compromising the electronics. Together with its rugged materials, this makes it a strong option for year-round outdoor shooting.

Can I use the Supreme X2 in very hot or very cold environments?

The headset is engineered to operate between –32 °C and +55 °C (–25.6 °F to +131 °F). This wide operating range means it can handle winter hunts, hot summer days and other demanding conditions. Users who shoot in varied climates will appreciate the stability of performance across these temperatures.

How long does the battery last on the Supreme X2?

The Supreme X2 runs on a single AA battery, providing an approximate life of 70 hours, or around 100 hours when using rechargeable batteries. An auto-shutdown function activates after about four hours of idle time, helping to prevent accidental battery drain. This makes it convenient for extended trips and multi-day use.

Are the memory-foam cushions worth choosing over standard cushions?

The memory-foam cushions on this variant are designed to conform to the shape of your head and ears, reducing pressure points and improving the acoustic seal. This is particularly beneficial during long sessions when standard cushions might become uncomfortable. For users who prioritise plush comfort and consistent sealing, the memory-foam option is a strong upgrade.

Is the Supreme X2 comfortable for shooters who wear glasses?

Yes, the slim cup profile and memory-foam sealing rings help the Supreme X2 work well with eyewear. The foam adapts around the arms of glasses, helping maintain a good seal without excessive pressure. This makes it especially suitable for shooters who must wear prescription glasses or safety eyewear.

How should I care for and store the Supreme X2 ear defenders?

For best longevity, remove the battery for long-term storage and store the headset in a dry environment. After use in damp or muddy conditions, wipe down the headband and cushions and avoid harsh solvents that could damage materials such as ABS, PU foam, memory foam and leather or textile covers. Simple routine care will help maintain performance and comfort over time.

What materials are used in the construction of the Supreme X2?

The cups and foam inserts are made from ABS and PU foam, while the suspension system uses stainless steel and plastic for strength and durability. The sealing rings and padding in the memory-foam variant use memory foam around ABS or PVC foil, and the headband cover is available in leather or textile. This mix of materials is chosen to balance robustness, comfort and long-term reliability.
