Description
Electronic earmuffs have come a long way, and the Allen ULTRX Bionic Fuse Ion is a good example of how much you can pack into a single set. It carries a 22dB noise reduction rating that clamps down on gunfire and machinery, while hi-gain omni-directional microphones amplify the quieter stuff around you so you can still hear range commands, a buddy talking, or the rustle in the brush. The sound compression circuitry does the heavy lifting here, cutting the amplified audio the instant a loud noise hits so your ears never take the brunt of it.
What Sets the Bionic Fuse Ion Apart
The standout on this model is Bluetooth 5.3. Pair it to your phone and you can stream music, listen to a podcast, or take a call without ever pulling the muffs off. Allen backs the audio side with a dynamic wave compression system and a 6x omni-hearing boost, plus a symmetrical microphone response that keeps conversations clear instead of tinny. It runs on two AAA batteries, which is worth noting if you'd rather swap cells in the field than hunt for a charging cable. Batteries are not included, so grab a pack before your first outing.
Comfort Built for Long Days
Foam-padded ear cups and an ergonomic, over-the-head headband keep pressure off your ears and the top of your head during longer sessions. The slate gray finish is low-key and the design folds down compact for tossing in a range bag or truck console. At right around 5.65 inches, they store easily without taking up much room.
Where the ULTRX Ion Earns Its Keep
These are a genuine do-it-all set. Trap and skeet shooters get the ambient boost to hear calls, hunters get situational awareness without sacrificing protection, and they carry right over to mowing the lawn, running a table saw, or spending the day on a noisy job site. Anyone who wants one pair of muffs that covers the range and everything else will get a lot of mileage out of the Bionic Fuse Ion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Bionic Fuse Ion protect your hearing while amplifying sound?
The earmuff amplifies quiet ambient sounds through hi-gain omni-directional microphones so you stay aware of your surroundings. When a loud noise like a gunshot hits, the sound compression circuitry instantly cuts the amplified audio to keep your ears safe. Combined with the 22dB noise reduction rating from the physical cups, you get both awareness and protection.
Can I stream music and take calls with the ULTRX Bionic Fuse Ion?
Yes. It uses Bluetooth 5.3 to pair with your phone or other devices, so you can stream music, listen to a podcast, or handle calls hands-free without taking the muffs off. The symmetrical microphone response helps keep calls clear.
What batteries does the Bionic Fuse Ion earmuff use?
It runs on two AAA batteries, which are not included. AAA cells are easy to find and simple to swap in the field, so it's smart to keep a spare set in your range bag.
Is a 22dB rating enough for the shooting range?
A 22dB NRR is solid for most range use and lands right in line with other popular electronic muffs. For extended sessions or particularly loud indoor ranges, some folks double up with foam plugs underneath for extra protection, but on their own these handle typical range and worksite noise well.
