There are few things as crucial as hearing protection when shooting. The long-term effects of gunfire will diminish your hearing later in life. While there are countless options in the ear pro arena, I am personally a fan of in-ear or earbud-style protection. These still provide hearing protection but don’t interfere with the cheek weld on our long guns. There are some great options in this category as well, but AXIL consistently has the performance edge. Today, they have added a new set to their lineup. The GSX 3.0 – Advanced Ear Pro From AXIL
GSX 3.0 – Total Hearing Control
GSX 3.0 isn’t just hearing protection — it’s hearing control. The advanced electronic system automatically compresses harmful sounds above 85 dB, instantly protecting your ears from gunfire, engines, and power tools. At the same time, it amplifies safe sounds up to 5×, giving you full awareness of voices, movement, and your environment without removing your protection.
Choose your comfort and protection level with multiple tip options:
- Max Protect Foam: 26 dB SNR / 21 dB NRR
- General Foam: 26 dB SNR / 21 dB NRR
- Silicone Tips: 24 dB SNR / 17 dB NRR
With a proper foam seal, GSX 3.0 delivers up to 26 dB SNR, keeping you safe from impact noise while letting the world around you stay clear, sharp, and real.
All in One System
The GSX 3.0 takes AXIL’s best-selling all-in-one hearing protection and enhancement system to the next level. Designed for shooters, hunters, workers, and anyone exposed to high-decibel environments, it gives you advanced situational awareness without sacrificing protection. At its core is SonicShieldX technology, a new filter-on-microphone system that instantly suppresses impact sounds while letting natural voices and ambient audio come through with lifelike clarity. You stay protected from blasts and machinery while staying connected to everything happening around you.
Bluetooth
Built with the latest Bluetooth 5.3, the GSX 3.0 seamlessly blends hearing enhancement with crystal-clear audio streaming and phone calls. Its SmartSound Balance feature automatically manages sound levels between your environment and your media, keeping your hearing safe without dulling your awareness. When hearing enhancement is on, Bluetooth audio is safely volume-limited — when it’s off, you can enjoy full, powerful sound. And with Tap & Go controls, switching modes or adjusting your hearing boost is quick, intuitive, and distraction-free.
GSX 3.0
Every detail of the GSX 3.0 is engineered for real-world performance. The Lock-n-Loaded fit system combines multiple concha locks, foam and silicone tips, and flexible earhooks for a custom, secure seal in any condition. Its IP65 rating keeps it safe from sweat, dust, and rain, while an upgraded Battery Boost system delivers up to 15 hours of combined use. Whether you’re on the range, on the job, or outdoors all day, GSX 3.0 gives you total hearing control — smarter, stronger, and clearer than ever before.
