SoundGear has partnered with Realtree to introduce a SoundGear Shield x Realtree Special Edition of its 93 dB product. This electronic hearing protection solution is engineered to provide all-day comfort, situational awareness, and reliable protection from hazardous noise. The collaboration brings together two trusted brands known for innovation, durability, and performance in demanding environments.

"Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most preventable health conditions, yet awareness and adoption of hearing protection still lag behind in many outdoor and shooting environments," said Michael Scholl, chief business development officer and executive vice president of corporate relations at SoundGear. "By partnering with Realtree, we have an opportunity to reach more consumers with an important message: protecting your hearing should be considered just as essential as any other piece of safety equipment. Together, we are helping make hearing protection a standard part of the outdoor experience."

The SoundGear Shield x Realtree product combines SoundGear's sound management technology with SoundGear Shield x Realtree accessories. The product is designed to help safeguard hearing from harmful impulse noise while amplifying softer sounds, supporting communication and environmental awareness.

Ready to wear right out of the box, the SoundGear Shield X Realtree Special Edition boasts a discreet and comfortable product design. Foam buds provide 32 NRR (sold separately) and the rugged carrying case easily fits in a pocket.
