“Does the noise cancelation function of the Pro 2's work at a level acceptable for shooting sports? Would they cancel enough noise to be considered "hearing protection"?”

They are good but in my experience they are the "hearing protection" you are looking for
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. ACR filters repetitive sound by playing destructive waves for those. It won't work on unpredictable sound and it doesn't lessen the sound pressure. Even if it cancelled out a machine gun firing at a constant rate, the sound pressure is what damages your ears, not your perception of the sound. Think of it as an equally loud anti-sound. The only benefit for gunfire is the noise isolation from a tight fit, but that won't be dampening enough. There are overear Bluetooth/wired hearing protection that work as headphones, with noise filtering pass thru which can also be combined with foam ear inserts (hear-os) to handle what you are asking, at a lower cost.
