Ear plugs for shooting are one of the most important pieces of gear you can bring to the range, right alongside your firearm, eye protection, and ammunition. At Plugfones, we understand the critical role hearing protection plays in your experience and long-term health. That’s why our foam earplugs are engineered with a focus on performance, comfort, and real-world reliability.
Gunfire can exceed 150 decibels, and exposure to that level of sound, even for a short time, can lead to irreversible hearing damage. While muffs and over-ear protection are commonly used, many shooters prefer foam earplugs for their comfort, flexibility, and lower profile. The key is choosing foam plugs that actually work—ones with a high Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) and materials that create a dependable seal in the ear canal.
Plugfones uses a proprietary slow-recovery foam that gently expands inside the ear, forming a tight barrier against impulse noise. Unlike cheap, disposable options that collapse or irritate your ears after extended wear, our Comfortiered™ foam tips are designed to stay in place and maintain their shape throughout long shooting sessions. That means you can shoot, move, reload, and reset without worrying about losing your hearing protection or constantly needing to readjust it.
Some Plugfones models are rated up to NRR 29, offering a level of protection that rivals or exceeds many standard shooting earplugs on the market. But what makes Plugfones stand out is the balance between protection and practicality. Our foam plugs are comfortable enough to wear for hours, compact enough to avoid interfering with headgear, and durable enough to handle regular use without losing effectiveness.
We also recognize that no two shooters are the same. Different ear shapes, shooting styles, and environments demand different fits. That’s why we offer a variety of foam tip shapes and sizes across our product line, ensuring that every user can find the right seal for their needs. Whether you shoot indoors or outdoors, in dry desert heat or colder conditions, our foam plugs are designed to perform consistently regardless of the environment.
Many of our users also appreciate the added functionality found in select Plugfones models, which combine hearing protection with built-in audio. This allows for safe communication, instruction, or entertainment while still protecting your ears from the harmful effects of gunfire. Even with audio integration, our foam tips remain focused on protection first.
When it comes to protecting your hearing at the shooting range, you need more than just a pair of plugs. You need foam technology that fits, seals, and performs—session after session. Plugfones offers ear plugs for shooting that rise to the challenge, delivering comfort, high NRR protection, and reliability you can count on.
Because when you’re pulling the trigger, your focus should be on the target—not on your hearing protection.
