Launching ShellShock Protection EXO Pro ElitePre-orders are now open for $119. This is their upgraded version EXO ProAnd the reforms are meaningful rather than cosmetic. Improved protection rating, faster attack time, improved audio clarity, redesigned battery compartment for gloved use, and advanced PureSeal gel ear seals that improve both comfort and the quality of the acoustic seal against the ear cups.
The 0.5 millisecond attack time for impulse noise suppression is worth noting. A lot of electronic ear pros advertise fast suppression without publishing actual attack time numbers. Shellshock puts 0.5 milliseconds on paper and claims it’s 25 times faster than many competing products. That speed matters because the faster a muff can suppress a shot, the more actual hearing protection it provides the moment the injury occurs. The slow attack time is why some electronic muffs still emit enough peak sound to cause damage even with the electronics working properly.
EXO Pro Elite It has both the ANSI-tested SNR23 certification and the internationally recognized SNR28 certification. Shellshock says this specifically because a meaningful portion of the electronic ear pro on the market use estimated or self-reported ratings rather than independently tested certifications. If you’re using these in a professional or duty context where documentation is relevant, it makes sense to have both numbers verified.
