Description

Volume Limiting Products

Listening to music in headphones at too loud of a volume for too long exposes you to the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. Our volume limiting headphones prevent workers from listening to audio at unsafe levels by keeping the speaker volume below 82 dB.

All of our volume limiting headphones are clearly marked with a red body color, which you can see between the tip and the cord. The highly-visible red color allows you to easily look for compliance standards quickly. Volume limiting is not available on all Plugfones models. It can however be found on certain FreeReign, Protector Plus, and Protector models.

Volume Limited (VL) products meet OSHA standards for safe workplace all day listening and safety.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bass and volume

Everything great except the size of the ear plug going in. Great bass and sound for sure. Once it’s in it’s in, but my job calls for tons of over the head movement so it loosens the seal that gives you the best noise cancellation. Needs to be a bit deeper in my opinion. If you’re a normal sized person then it should work perfectly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good noise cancellation, not very loud

Pretty good pair of earbuds especially if you want to keep your hearing. Only thing that I would really nitpick is the fact that the sound itself isnt all that loud and you really have to turn the sound up so you can hear what you are playing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and bad

I was looking for a replacement brand of earbuds that are a little less expensive than my current brand. Quality of sound is definitely not there. Sounds like you are listening through tin cans. HOWEVER, the foam tips on these earplugs are by far the most comfortable I have ever tried, especially if you have small ear canals. I bought a bunch and traded out the current foam tips on the old earbuds for these.

I use these doing just about everything outside. I used to use earplugs and I can finally use my phone and listen to music while I mow my lawn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea

I’m not sure if I am just to hard on these but the sound on the one side is like a whisper. Plugs are hard to keep in. I just ordered the plugfone that is one step better. Hopefully they will last longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooooooooo nice!

I use these as ear plugs for noise reduction and as ear buds. They seal out a lot of noise as well as push the music/voice directly into my hear. Since I suffer hearing loss from years of industrial noise these make it possible to use my SENA Bluetooth headset to communicate with my girlfriend when we ride. BTW, i wear a half-helmet and I purchased an extra pair to have on hand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool!

I work in a warehouse where headphones aren’t allowed but I need music to get me through an entire shift. So I searched for some earphones that looked like the ear plugs at work “which I thought I’d have no luck with” but I found these and read a good amount of reviews and decided to try them out for myself. I was skeptical about the sound quality but they sound very good quality to me. It comes with a case that includes different size heads which I love! As well as a comfort neck support that can come off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks like earplugs

I used these at work. Cut a small hole in the liner of my pocket and ran it under my shirt. Nobody could tell and helped me to enjoy my job more. Why jobs don't want you to enjoy your work makes no since to me. Especially since these are more noise cancelling than the earplugs they supply you with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hearing protection and function

They wear the same as your typical yellow rubber ear plugs. The charge will get you through a 10 hour shift at work. So it comes with a clip put it on and clip it to your shirt between the battery and the controls. You can listen to a book or music just fine in a loud environment, however phone calls is harder for who you are talking to hear you in loud areas because of the mike does cancel out the background

5.0 out of 5 stars WOWWWWWWW

So I’ve been rocking the blue and orange ones of these but the corded ones for years and they’re Amazing . I even have them plugged into a Bluetooth receiver at work so I can pause and play from my pocket💁🏼‍♂️. Needed something with no wire and these are a little bulky but they do have the clip and they also have two battery things that you can let rock on each shoulder . How’s for the sound quality …. I have AirPods and j have nice over the ear headphones and these compete for sure … AirPods have no bass and way to much treble and these are the opposite , you can hear all that bass and hear all the treble beautifully . Now for how long they last we will see…. But the corded version of these for 20$ last me years

5.0 out of 5 stars Good headphone earplug

Keeps sound muted cheaply, looks like earplugs so i could wear them at work, pretty durable i went through like a pair ever 6+ months putting them in my pocket every day after i wore them for my 12 hour shifts. Eventually the wire would break and one of the headphones would die. They would get earwax and pocket lint on them, pretty much everything sticks to these theyre very soft, so i would wash them with soap and water at the begining of every shift. Yea for the application, these were perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great protection. Mediocre sound.

These earplugs do a great job blocking noise. I can run power tools or do some hammering and know that my hearing is protected. They also come with 2 pairs of earplugs, so you can wear one pair while charging the other. The sound quality is not great - music is audible but sounds muffled. But then, you’re not buying these for studio sound quality, are you?

5.0 out of 5 stars so far so good

Nice quality and replaceable earpieces. Fairly easy to use the small buttons. I only use for listening, but I did try one phone call and that was ok. I ride my motorcycle mostly alone, so these are great to replace my normal earplugs and I can listen to radio or whatever from my phone. And no, they don't prevent you from hearing sirens or your motor etc. Completely safe. I have used them for two multi day road trips, a d I use them when mowing and weed trimming etc, as they work as hearing protection, as long as you use reasonable volumes for your programming. So far after a few months I am still happy with them for my use. They pair easily, and don't drop too often...
