What type hearing protection does Sordin offer?
Sordin is a brand that offers hearing protection in the upper regions of the market. Their product range starts with passive ear defenders and goes all the way up to ear defenders with ambient sound. This means microphones will detect ambient sound, which is enhanced with speakers inside the cups. Loud noise is automatically reduced to a safe level.
The electronics used by Sordin are very advanced, offering multiple options. This means a very large line-up of models with simple and effective passive ear defenders on one end and electronics are introduced with more functions towards the higher end. This begins with the introduction of ambient sound where noise is filtered, while smart logarithms will enhance ambient sound. Think voices on a shooting range or surrounding sounds outdoors when hunting. The sound comes in stereo, helping you to keep a perfect directional sense.
The next step is wireless connectivity. For instance, connecting your smartphone with Bluetooth, helping you to connect with a team or just listen to some music. On another level, there’s a built-in intercom system where no phone signal is needed and the ear defenders automatically will connect with each other. Even when contact was momentarily lost. The reach of these Sordin hearing protectors is hundreds of metres, making them perfect for hunting.
Shooters and hunters both can make good use of the voice-control function that some Sordin models offer. With a simple ‘Hey Sordin’ you can switch between functions while keeping your hands free. And a good example of Sordin really focussing on shooting is the fact that their designs have taken shouldering a rifle into account. Conventional ear defenders can be pretty wide, touching the cheekpiece of the stock. Sordin, however, designed the lower part to clear the cheekpiece.
Where is Sordin made?
The Swedish company Sordin AB -known for passive, but especially for active hearing protection- used to be part of the American company MSA (Mine Safety Appliances) that produces a variety of safety equipment. The ear defenders thus were marketed as MSA Sordin. Later, Sordin AB switched hands and the nearby Swedish company Wikmanshyttan Safety AB took over. This company already made passive hearing protection, together with other ‘above shoulder’ safety gear. The take-over means Sordin still produces its high-quality hearing protection, but with a new owner, expanding the product range of the parent company.
So, just to give everybody some peace of mind and answer the often heard question: ‘Is MSA Sordin the same as Sordin?’ Yes, the old and well-known MSA Sordin ear defenders and the contemporary Sordin ones are exactly the same. Same factory, same quality. The only thing missing are just three letters.
