Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs NRR 23

The Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs deliver active hearing protection with a Noise Reduction Rating of 23, built around a collapsible, padded, adjustable headband for a range of head sizes. An auto sound shutoff circuit and adjustable volume control let wearers manage ambient sound without removing the muffs. Available in black.

Built to Wear, Easy to Carry

The Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs feature a collapsible headband that folds down for storage or transport, making them practical to pack in a range bag or kit without taking up unnecessary space. The padded headband and adjustable fit mean the muffs can be sized to the wearer rather than forcing a one-size compromise, which matters during extended sessions at the range or on a job site.

Active Sound Management

The auto sound shutoff function cuts amplification on loud impulse noise, then restores ambient sound once the impulse passes. Adjustable volume control lets the wearer dial in how much surrounding sound comes through, supporting situational awareness without sacrificing protection. The NRR 23 rating describes the muffs' noise attenuation under standardized test conditions.

Auxiliary Audio Input

A built-in plug for an MP3 player allows the wearer to connect an external audio source directly through the muffs. The muffs run on two AAA batteries, which are not included.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The adjustable headband accommodates a range of head sizes, and the auxiliary input suits anyone who wants to run audio through their ear protection.

These muffs are not rated for industrial or occupational noise environments requiring higher NRR values. Batteries are not included and must be sourced separately before first use. No Bluetooth connectivity is stated; the audio input is a wired plug only.

Common Questions

What is the NRR 23 rating and what does it mean in practice?

The Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs carry a Noise Reduction Rating of 23, measured under standardized laboratory test conditions. NRR describes the muffs' attenuation of ambient noise. Real-world noise reduction typically differs from the lab figure; the EPA recommends applying a safety factor when estimating actual protection in field conditions.

How does the auto sound shutoff work?

The Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs include an auto sound shutoff circuit that cuts the amplified signal through the speakers when loud impulse noise is detected. Once the impulse passes, ambient sound is restored. This allows the wearer to hear conversation and environmental sounds between shots while still receiving protection during firing.

What batteries do these ear muffs use, and are they included?

The Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs are powered by two AAA batteries. Batteries are not included with the muffs and must be purchased separately. No rechargeable or USB-charging option is stated.

Can I connect a phone or audio device to these ear muffs?

The Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs include a wired auxiliary plug designed for an MP3 player or similar audio source. No Bluetooth or wireless connectivity is stated. The plug allows the wearer to route audio through the muffs while maintaining hearing protection.

Do these ear muffs fold down for storage or travel?

The Sport Ridge Compact Elite Electronic Ear Muffs feature a collapsible headband that folds down, making them easier to store in a range bag or carry kit. The headband is also padded and adjustable to fit different head sizes.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
