uvex aXess one; active Bluetooth earmuffs — safe. active. connected.
Uvex aXess One are active Bluetooth earmuffs with RAL (real active listening) function. This function gives the user the feeling of not wearing hearing protection and of actively participating in the environment with hearing protection. This makes communication possible and warning signals can be perceived better. The volume of the ambient sounds can be set individually. For safe hearing protection, the maximum output level is limited. The level gain below the sound level limiter is very helpful, for example when adjusting machines or c performing diagnostic work.
uvex aXess one connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0, meaning you no longer miss important calls and can make them without interrupting your work. Dual mode allows you to add another device if needed. Calls can be answered quickly and easily using the function keys on the earmuffs, so both hands are free when you make calls. The large radio range ensures that paired devices can remain in a protected location rather than at the workplace.

SLC80 27dB
This hearing protection product complies with the Australia/New Zealand standard and has been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1270.
It has an SLC80 rating of 27 (which in rough terms means it blocks about 27dB of noise) and is a Class 5 hearing protector.
- Class 1: SLC80 10–13 - Suitable for <90 dB noise levels
- Class 2: SLC80 14–17 - Suitable for <90-95 dB noise levels
- Class 3: SLC80 18-21 - Suitable for <95-100 dB noise levels
- Class 4: SLC80 22-25 - Suitable for <100-105 dB noise levels
- Class 5: SLC80 ≥26 - Suitable for <105-110 dB noise levels
SLC80 Explained
Under AS/NZS 1270:2002, hearing protection is tested for its Sound Level Conversion (SLC80) rating, which indicates the difference between the environmental noise and the sound reaching the wearer’s ears. This rating helps determine the appropriate Class of hearing protection for specific noise levels.
Australian and New Zealand workplaces are obligated under AS/NZS 1269.3:2005 to:
- Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
- Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
- Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.
Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.
SNR 31
An SNR of 31 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 31 decibels across various frequencies.
'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.
