Electronic Hear-Through & 360° Awareness
The Active 360 uses advanced electronic hear-through technology to reproduce lower-level environmental sounds while providing protection against damaging noise.
This allows the wearer to remain aware of conversations, range commands, approaching people and other important sounds without repeatedly removing their hearing protection.
Adjustable hear-through volume enables the listening level to be tailored to the surrounding environment, while the electronic processing manages potentially harmful impulse noise.
The result is a more natural listening experience suited to clay shooting, game shooting, competitions and general range use.
Hearing Protection & Safety
The SWATCOM Active 360 provides certified passive hearing protection with a Single Number Rating (SNR) of 28dB.
It also carries a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 20dB under the relevant American testing standard.
- 28dB SNR attenuation
- 20dB NRR attenuation
- Tested to EN 352-1:2020
- Electronic level-dependent hearing protection
- Designed to reduce exposure to harmful shooting noise
The passive attenuation remains available independently of the electronic hear-through function, provided the ear defenders are correctly fitted and the seals are maintained.
Actual protection depends on correct positioning, seal condition and the fit around spectacles or other equipment.
Audio Controls & Adjustments
The Active 360 features an intuitive two-button control system supported by a voice-prompted menu.
The system allows users to customise the electronic listening experience without complicated controls.
- Adjustable hear-through volume
- Independent speaker balance adjustment
- Adjustable hear-through response time

- Voice-guided menu navigation
- Factory reset function
- Low-battery warning

These adjustments help tailor the headset to different shooting environments and individual listening preferences.
