PPE specialist uvex has introduced the uvex aXess one, an active listening earmuff designed to deliver reliable protection against sudden, high-impact noise while maintaining full situational awareness and clear communication.

The uvex aXess one automatically reduces sudden, high-impact noises down to a safe level, while simultaneously amplifying speech and ambient sound in environments that hover just above the 85 dB exposure threshold.

At the heart of the system are advanced PCP chips that continuously analyse and filter incoming audio. These chips amplify important sounds, such as speech and alarms, while suppressing harmful noise from machinery or impact tools. The processed audio is played through integrated speakers targeting both low and high frequencies, ensuring natural, balanced sound reproduction.

This entire process occurs within milliseconds, so the wearer experiences no noticeable delay, maintaining complete environmental awareness and protection at all times.

Built for communication and comfort

The uvex aXess one helps workers exposed to high-impact noise stay aware, communicate clearly, and remain protected. Its advanced features make it ideal for demanding workplaces such as manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, engineering, and construction.

Key benefits include:

• Full situational awareness – protects against impact noise while maintaining awareness of surroundings.

• Clear communication – amplifies close-range speech for teamwork and safety.

• Dual-use flexibility – functions as both active and passive earmuff.

• Coiled cable design – integrates neatly with helmets, no taping or workaround required.

• Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity – connects two devices simultaneously for hands-free calls, communication networks, or listening to media (where appropriate).

• Extremely long 50-hour battery life – with USB-C charging for universal compatibility.

• Glove-friendly controls – easy to operate even in cold or fast-paced environments.

• Excellent value – advanced technology at a competitive market price.

“The uvex aXess one is designed for environments where workers need to protect their hearing without losing connection to their surroundings,” said uvex head of marketing, Clair Weston. “It delivers high-performance noise reduction, smart connectivity, and comfort that encourages consistent use.”

By combining intelligent sound processing, comfort-focused design, and modern connectivity, the uvex aXess one ensures hearing protection that’s both practical and effective, helping employers meet safety standards while supporting productivity and communication.
