Description
Champion built the Vanquish Pro Elite from the ground up for the shooting sports, and it shows the second you put them on. Every earcup is acoustically modeled on gunshot reports, so the muffs strike a real balance between all-day comfort and solid noise reduction. With a 21 dB Noise Reduction Rating and Safe Level Sound Compression that reacts in under a millisecond, harmful sounds over 85 dB get knocked down to a safe level while conversation stays clear and natural. If you've used older electronic muffs, you'll notice these get the volume back to where you set it almost instantly after a shot instead of that laggy cutoff feeling.
What Sets the Vanquish Pro Elite Apart
This is the Elite model, which sits at the top of the Vanquish family. It's one of the first electronic ear pros in shooting sports to add active noise cancellation, layering an extra bit of low-frequency reduction on top of the passive isolation. Five omnidirectional microphones feed two full dynamic range HD speakers, giving you 6x amplification of the sounds you want to hear, like a range officer's call or a buddy talking a few benches down. The low-profile earcup design is shaped to stay out of the way of your gunstock, which is a nice touch for rifle and shotgun work where a bulky muff usually fights your cheek weld.
Living With the Vanquish Pro Elite
Power comes from a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that tops off through the included USB cable, so there's no fumbling with AAAs between range trips. You'll get up to 12 hours of runtime with Bluetooth streaming and up to 100 hours running without it, plus a 3-hour auto shut-off that saves the battery if you forget to power down. Bluetooth pairing is simple through the push-button controls, letting you take and receive calls hands-free or stream music while you run targets downrange. The acoustic foam padding on the earcups and headband earns its keep on longer days, and the frame folds into a compact package for easy storage in a range bag. For folks who want serious hearing protection with modern audio features baked in, this is Champion's most loaded muff.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last on the Vanquish Pro Elite?
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 12 hours of runtime when you're streaming over Bluetooth, and up to 100 hours in standard mode without Bluetooth. It charges through the included USB cable, so there's no need to keep AAA batteries on hand. A 3-hour auto shut-off also kicks in to save power if you forget to turn them off.
What's the difference between the Vanquish Pro and the Pro Elite?
The Pro Elite is the top-tier model in the Vanquish lineup. It adds a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, Bluetooth connectivity, and active noise cancellation that the standard Vanquish Pro doesn't have. Both share the same Safe Level Sound Compression, HD speakers, and acoustic foam comfort, but the Elite is the more feature-loaded option.
Can you take phone calls and listen to music with these muffs?
Yes. The Vanquish Pro Elite is Bluetooth enabled, so you can pair it with your phone to stream music or take and receive hands-free calls right at the range. Pairing is handled through the push-button controls, and Bluetooth volume is adjusted from your phone rather than the muffs themselves.
Will these earmuffs get in the way of a rifle or shotgun stock?
The earcups use a low-profile shape that's designed to minimize interference with gunstocks, which helps you keep a consistent cheek weld. That makes them a good fit for rifle and shotgun shooters who often struggle with bulkier muffs pushing the muff off your ear when you mount the gun. The acoustic foam padding also keeps things comfortable over longer sessions.
