{"product_id":"rothco-folding-noise-reduction-ear-muffs","title":"Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs are passive hearing-protection ear muffs rated at NRR 32 (±3 dB), designed for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical professionals who need reliable noise attenuation in a compact, packable form. The headband is POM plastic with polyester padding; the cups are ABS plastic with slide-adjusting height. One size fits most; no variants are offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Enough to Go Anywhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs fold in half along the headband, cutting their footprint significantly so they fit flat inside a range bag, gun case, or pack without taking up the space a full-profile muff would. For shooters who move between positions or ranges, that means hearing protection is always on hand rather than left behind because it was too bulky to bother packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Rated Level of Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn NRR of 32 (±3 dB) is a meaningful noise-reduction figure for firearm use. That rating is a standardized measure under EPA\/ANSI protocols, giving buyers a consistent benchmark to compare against other passive muffs rather than relying on vague descriptors. The rating applies to the muffs as a passive device; no electronic amplification or communication features are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Fit for Extended Sessions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slide-adjusting earcups move independently up and down the headband arms, letting the wearer dial in cup position against their ears rather than relying on a one-size clamping force. The padded headband distributes clamping load across the crown, which matters during longer range sessions or hunting days where the muffs stay on for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoldable design:\u003c\/strong\u003e muffs fold in half for compact storage in a range bag or gun case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNRR 32 (±3 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e standardized passive noise-reduction rating for firearm environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlide-adjusting earcups:\u003c\/strong\u003e independent height adjustment on each cup for a dialed-in fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded headband:\u003c\/strong\u003e POM headband with padding for comfort during extended wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABS plastic cups:\u003c\/strong\u003e lightweight and durable cup construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNRR Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e32 (±3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadband Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePOM plastic with polyester padding\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCup Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eABS plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.63 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCalifornia Prop 65\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eContains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThese ear muffs suit hunters, sport shooters, and range-going tactical professionals who want a passive, foldable hearing-protection option with a solid NRR 32 rating and adjustable fit for sessions of varying length. Their compact folded profile makes them a practical choice for anyone who carries gear in a bag rather than a dedicated hearing-protection case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese are passive muffs only, with no electronic sound amplification, no ambient-awareness mode, and no communication capability. They are not rated for industrial noise environments under OSHA standards and should not be substituted for hearing protection specified for those contexts. Buyers who need to hear range commands or ambient sounds while wearing protection should look at active electronic muffs instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the NRR rating, and what does it mean in practice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs carry an NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 32, with a measurement variance of ±3 dB. NRR is a standardized EPA\/ANSI figure that allows direct comparison between passive hearing-protection products. A higher NRR indicates greater attenuation; 32 is a competitive figure for passive muffs used in firearm environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo these ear muffs have any electronic or active features?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs are entirely passive. They provide no electronic sound amplification, no ambient-awareness mode, and no Bluetooth or communication capability. Noise reduction is achieved through the physical seal and cup construction alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do the earcups adjust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe earcups on these Rothco ear muffs slide up and down the headband arms independently, allowing the wearer to position each cup against their ear for a secure seal. No head-size range is specified for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do they fold, and how much space do they save?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs fold in half along the headband, reducing their profile enough to lie flat in a range bag or gun case. Exact folded dimensions are not specified for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Rothco Folding Noise Reduction Ear Muffs contain Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical listed under California Proposition 65. California residents should be aware of this disclosure before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67127082123635,"sku":"RTC-40806","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/40806-A-NOLOGO.webp?v=1792118516","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-folding-noise-reduction-ear-muffs","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
