With so many models and variations, it can be hard to understand which of Sordin’s ear defenders is right for you. We put together a guide to help you choose exactly what you need out in your field.
This guide will tell you about the features of Sordin's Pro and Pro-X family as well as our exclusive Ace Schakal by Sordin. We’ll give you the basics for each of the three, then we’ll talk about the different variations and extra features in detail.
Sordin's Supreme Pro & Pro-X Series
Originally designed for the military, Sordin‘s active hearing protective gear is built for action.
Sordin uses the same foundations when crafting each model, ensuring that all models meet the highest base standard.
For hunting, sports shooting and and industrial work, we recommend using a product from the Pro-X or Pro line (including our own Ace Schakal by Sordin variant).
Sordin variants for military and law enforcement are also available under the Supreme MIL line.
Find the Perfect Sordin Supreme Model for You
The Supreme Pro model features Sordin HEAR ambient sound reproduction technology, enhancing your hearing so you can focus your attention on your other senses.
This headset has one microphone on each ear cup for ambient sound reproduction and crystal clear directional hearing.
This technology captures all sounds, amplifying quiet sounds while simultaneously lowering dangerous ones to a safe level.
Although not not a direct member the Sordin Supreme family, the Ace Schakal by Sordin retains the Supreme Pro’s engineering but adds a few bonuses.
Every Ace Schakal by Sordin has gel ear cushions for long-wear comfort and compatibility with eye protection- perfect for indoor and outdoor ranges alike!
We also included a hook and pile strip for badges on the textile headband, so you can customize you entire troop’s headgear.
The Supreme Pro-X uses the same structural framework and features as the Supreme Pro but builds upon the technology.
The Pro-X takes ambient sound reproduction to the next level with Sordin’s HEAR2 technology.
HEAR2 features four different audio profiles - hunting, shooting, focus and comms - so you can easily adjust your hearing to your surroundings.
With water- and dustproof electronics, it is also more sturdy than the Pro version.
Each of the three has at least one variation like different headbands or ear cushions, or added features (only Pro-X).

Model Variations
Slim: Wider Headband, Leaner Cups
Slim versions have an ultra flexible headband, which is great for users with wider head shape.
An adjustable headband ensures that you can get the perfect fit as well.
The cups can be removed from their mounting points and attached to ARC rail adapters, further increasing the utility of the Slim models.
SFA: Like Iron Shields for Your Ears
The SFA (or Sordin Flexible Attenuation) version provides maximum protection from sound damage, bringing up the SNR of your headset by 4-5 dB, depending on the model.
Added protection comes from increased cup volume thanks to the SFA booster ring and thicker attenuation foam than on the standard models.
All SFA variations also feature an ultra-flexible Slim-type headband.
Neckband: Comfort During the Entire Mission
Instead of a headband, neckband variations come with a high-mounted neckband.
The nylon band sits high enough on the back of the neck so it won’t tug on your collar or prevent you from looking up.
Adjust the size with the hook and pile strap on the neckband for maxiumum comfort and the perfect fit. Ideal for anyone who regularly wears hats or helmet.
LED: Excellence in the Details
LED variations feature an LED light on the left ear cup.
Whether you’re on an early morning or late night hunt and need to stop to look at your map, the light will give you the visibility you need.
The light also shuts off automatically after 3 minutes, saving battery and the hassle of turning it off.
The Pro-X LED version always comes with ultra-comfortable gel ear cushions and a 400-hour battery life.
