People shooting for fun or sport have a choice of being able to talk to each other, or risking serious hearing damage. Most choose to wear ear protectors, but these make conversation impossible and instruction difficult.

The solution to-date, has been expensive active electronic headsets with built-in microphones and amplification, but their safety is questioned as audio app pioneers Essency launch GunSonics! - see GunSonics! vs Commercial Active Ear Defenders on gunsonics.com

App Powered by iPhone (Android coming soon)

GunSonics! harnesses the huge computing power of an iPhone, to deliver a groundbreaking app that sets a new standard for safety in electronic ear protection. 

How GunSonics! works 

1. The user wears passive ear protectors over the top of standard Apple iPhone earphones, providing the protection against gunshot blasts. 
2. GunSonics! uses the headset microphone to listen to the outside world and feeds sounds and conversation to the user in real-time.
3. When there is a shot, GunSonics! sucks the harmful energy out of the gun blast.
4. Conversation is never interrupted by gunfire, users hear what is going on around them and are not exposed to damaging sound levels.
5. Users can carry on a normal conversation, while firing rifles, revolvers or shotguns.

Users simply wear their Apple earphones underneath their ear protectors, switch GunSonics! on and tap a preset to match the firearm in use. Then they use the volume control on their iPhone to find a comfortable listening level and are ready to shoot.

The result? Easy communication and improved hearing safety.

Available at the App Store priced at $9.99 USD and £6.99 GBP  /  Android due shortly
