Product Reviews

These are awesome. I've bought several cheaper options trying to find something that could work like these but they were all a waste of money. These are so comfortable and sound great and really work as good Earplugs. I was standing right in the middle of a lawn mower, a generator, and an exterior HVAC fan and they were all nothing more then a dull hum smothered by the sounds of whatever music I had on. I then got the chance to use them for the original reason I wanted them to begin with. I do motorcycle track days so I'm out on a road course race track on a motorcycle, usually I just wear Earplugs, but I like listeting to music to get me pumped. Theaw worked like a charm, very easily able to put these in and then get my helmet on over them woth no snagging or pulling etc. It drowns out the motorcycle and the wind noise and shines through the music. 10/10 should have got these a year ago or more and will get them again immediately if these ever break or get lost.

Havent had these very long but they work well. I am impressed with the noise cancelling mic. Callers never have a problem hearing me in very loud environments. The only two things that could be improved on is battery life- from my experience the battery will last about 6-8 hours and the storage case they come in could be a little larger. Sometimes it's tough to fit everything back in.

They last me all day at work even in the heat they have a nice bass they cancel out sounds extremely well they charge fast I wish it was a c type charger tho

I got these because I have some really noisy neighbors in my apartment building and while working from home it was really hard for me to concentrate. I tried other earbuds with little success. I had heard good things about this brand, so I figured I'd give these a shot. I was blown away by how effective they are! You wouldn't even know my neighbors were there. Super comfortable, too. The foam is totally the way to go. Highly recommended! A++++

I bought these for my husband who had already worn out a pair of Plugfones. He really likes how durable they are.

Got these for work, music sounds like trash thru these but audiobooks and podcasts sound great. That's what I wanted them for anyway. They last about 10 hours before they need to be charged. I work in a very loud environment and these do actually reduce the noise very well. I recommend these but just realize if music is your reason they will severely disappoint you, but voice like audible and podcasts sound great.

These are easy to use and the battery charge lasts a decent amount of time. The sound quality is average but adequate for my needs. I use them primarily for listening to podcasts while working and working out. I like having a backup set that is charged and ready for use. The price point seems a bit high for given the sound quality.

I got these for my husband who plays music and sometimes likes to go see live bands. He normally uses the disposable type earplugs so these were a step up. He said that these are more comfortable and he feels like he can still hear the music without it being so muffled that it's not appreciable but does not have the ear ringing the next day like he would get with cheaper plugs The only downside to these is the expense and that they are not disposable so you have to be more careful not to lose them. Thanks for reading my review

The sound quality is great even in high noise areas. They are comfortable for long wear times and the battery life is great at about 12 hours after being properly charged.

I just wish it came with more foam tips because they get dirty quickly

I originally purchased these for the same reasons as most....to listen to music at work without getting caught because the look like earplugs! 😂 But after struggling with insomnia, I've used white noise to help me sleep for years. Needless to say, that also included waking up with sore ears from traditional earbuds. So one night, I decided to try these bad boys out and I have NO complaints at all! The noise reduction is perfect to cancel out hubby's roaring snore and also keeps me from damaging eardrum from having it too loud! Not to mention the oooh soooo comfy design! I ordered a second pair in case these break.....just so I would b able to sleep before waiting on the replacement to come in the mail!

Very good

I bought this on July 24 it's September 18th. They don't work no more. Great when they work. Good enough I'm buying another but they don't last long.

I use all the time. I really love it.

I own several now and love them. Comfortable to wear all day and cancel noise well

I'm a military truck and tank mechanic, I love my Plugfones, They work very well by keeping out unwanted noses , keeping in music and phone conversations. They are very durable and the battery life is very good.

Great . Ive used them for quite a while no issues long battery life good sound quality and comfortable. Not giving five stars because the cord is too long and the case is cheap it should have a clip or something and more quality case for the price point but these bad boys have done me well. I ordered replacement comfort tips they are way more comfortable than the foam ones if you plan to use on commercial jobs every day

So I owned a pair of plugfones prior to them updating this newer model and fell in love with them. However, their previous model didn't have the durability I was hoping for. I work in a factory setting with hard hats and earplugs are required. These nifty plugfones gave me the ear protection while still being able to listen to my tunes, whoever created these are genius! They look just like the ones at my work so don't draw much attention, and this newer version lets you choose wether you want the foam or silicone base. They seemed to hold up much better than the previous ones as my can be somewhat rough on these (I've dropped my hat with these attached many times). Pretty impressed with this product and have recommended to several coworkers.

Great, I use it on the motorbike. The cords are a little too long for me.

These are easy to use and the battery charge lasts a decent amount of time. The sound quality is average but adequate for my needs. I use them primarily for listening to podcasts while working and working out. I like having a backup set that is charged and ready for use. The price point seems a bit high for given the sound quality.

Love these for any situation. Yard work, Shop work, relaxing. They dont fall out, durable, light weight.

Exactly what I wanted. Airplanes have a lot of noise and I was getting headaches after my flights. I have nice noise-cancelling headphones, but they don't get rid of the noise (confused? look up how noise-cancelling headphones work). These are nice, lightweight, and fit my ears. Also they aren't expensive so if I lost them no big deal. Sound quality is good for audio books but don't expect theater quality music.

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.

Love these! They are durable and looks just like my earplugs in my factory. The major thing is the sound quality isn't to bad, music sounds great through them and they cancel noise out from your environment! I keep it on low so I can enjoy music and still listen to my team members.

So Im a welder in a factory, I work 8+ hours a day. I wear these all day everyday. I usually get 6 months out of a pair before one side goes out. If it wasn't for plugfones. I'd probably quit my boring repetitive job a long time ago. The quality gets better with each pair. Now days the audio quality is comparable to skull candy. My first pair sounded like they came from dollar tree. I got a whole year out of my last pair. My first pair only lasted 3 months. I often wear them when doing projects at home, mowing, or riding my motorcycle. They absolutely protect your hearing when you wear properly. I can't say I recommend the for riding a motorcycle. The length of the Bud gets pushed to the side under the helmet and can be uncomfortable but they do cut down on the noise significantly.

Works as advertised. I use these to listen to audiobooks while at work on a construction site with a Jumbl bluetooth adapter. I've been using them for about a week with the silicone ear pieces. They block out the noise from a metal cutting chop saw just as well as a normal pair of re-useable silicone ear plugs. I just clean them with safety glasses cleaner at the end of the day and they're good to go. Sound quality is suprisingly good after reading some of the other reviews, but I don't exactly need perfect quality for an audiobook. So far I have nothing bad to say about these.

excellent

Even a Harley with stock pipes is noisy enough to render real high quality sound pointless. But, the sound quality combined with the noise cancellation of plugphones definitely yields a good enough listening experience to improve the pleasure of riding out on the open roads of the High Plains. Make sure it is legal in your state if you are planning to be motoring with these in your ears. You can certainly hear sirens through those noise reduction phones, but you may not be able to convince Johnny Law or The Man of that.

I have small ear canals, which makes finding anything to cancel noise or for music hard! These earplugs are fantastic. They block loud sounds so they’re perfect for the range. They actually fit in my narrow ear canals with no issues. There is a bigger size for those with normal ear canals as well. The quality is very durable, made strong and feels like it will last long term. The pouch case is also very well made. 5 stars

The sound is pretty good but they don't keep outside sounds out. That's the only improvement I can see.

Where I work my boss has banned me from using headphones, completely ignoring the fact that they actually HELP me focus and work more efficiently. These have been a lifesaver. They seem to trick the fascist fool and have withstood the harsh environment that I work in. I even accidentally sent them through the wash and they still work. For the same money you can probably get better sound quality out of a normal pair, so you're definitely paying for the camouflage. They fit more comfortably than normal earplugs, too.

So I got these a couple weeks ago and wanted to wait to see how they performed before reviewing.(skip to bottom for quick run down) Let me preface anything I say further with the fact I got these with the intention of wearing them to work in a factory/warehouse setting that requires wearing ear protection in an effort to break up the dullness of work. I listen to audio books exclusively while wearing them for 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. Not one person, regardless of how close they've been to me, had said or indicated they realized what I was wearing. I do tuck the mic and other parts that make it obvious into a hat, but after some easy adjustments I can pause and play or adjust volume by just tapping the button through the hat. Pros: I can verify that it doesn't get a solid 12 hours, but I'd guess it's somewhere in the 9-11 hour range which is still great. Sounds can still be heard even through audio being played but they're not a distraction and I find this to be good as it's safer. I will note I don't have it at max volume so it's possible to drown out all sound. Great range, I'd say around 50 feet it starts cutting in and out, but that's without line of sight for me. Feels durable and charges quickly. Cons: Now this is just my personal thing and should really not influence the average person but I'd prefer it didn't have anything for pause or play or a mic. I'd like to see a discreet version that 100% could be passed off as earplugs for people like me working in factories just wanting to improve work life. The foam on one earplug fell apart but I think it's because I was rolling the foam up to better get into my ear. Luckily they send several pairs. I did order more replacements and would like to see more color variations.

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?

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.

First impressions. Will re-review in a few months. These are fantastic on motorcycle with helmet at highway speeds. I searched the World Wide Web for weeks looking for this type of headphones for motorcycle riding. They don’t come out when putting on helmet. The sound is way better than expected. Even have decent enough bass. I don’t need to turn volume up to highest setting. I was really stunned how much ambient sound was being blocked out at speed when securely in ear. One issue I seem to have is pairing. I can’t seem to just turn them on and have them automatically connect to my iPhone. I have to long push from off to re-pair every time and manually connect from Bluetooth settings. Unlike every other speaker or ear buds I use. It’s weird. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I may be a dumdum. Battery life seems to be as advertised. Some other ratings say they stopped working after a year or something. We shall see. So far, excellent and decent price. Update. Been about 5 or 6 months. Still good. The first set of memory foam tips wore out and broke pretty quickly. Probably from trying to keep them clean. But the plasticy rubbery ones work great too. A little uncomfortable in ear but when riding don’t notice. Still love them.

This item worked as described, but be forewarned that the 3.5mm connector is the first thing to mess up. Had mine less than 2 weeks, and I need to use my square deal return that I purchased already. I haven't yanked on or abused them in any way. The bluetooth model is so expensive, but it may be the best solution if you have to have PlugFones.

I like most that these earbuds are OSHA approved and ANSI certified because I can wear them at work and hear my music safely. They’re comfortable and durable. Two complaints- 1) the volume controls are at the phone end of the wires instead of closer to the user (small issue) and 2) there are only one set each of both types of ear plugs. They get dirty quick and it seems there should be multiples provided for replacement when they get too dirty. Other than those two small issues, these are great quality.

I purchased these for my son. I will be purchasing more. They are OSHA approved earplugs that allow you to still hear your phone calls. This is very convenient when you always have to be available by phone.

Bought these to replace the original plugfones because those broke on me after 4 years. The new model works well but not as well as the old ones. -These ones don't quite match the color of our earplugs at work (3M yellow and blue) the old ones were spot on -It seems like these aren't as loud as the old ones although they are still plenty loud for factory work. I find myself having to turn them down to have a conversation however, I still hear Hilo traffic fine. -These work with the tips from the old style which is good if you have leftover tips. -Noise muffling is on par with normal earplugs even with the music off. -it seems like these ones aren't as sturdy however they haven't broke yet. Will update of these last shorter than 4 years.

Love them

Have been using these in an industrial, loud, setting for over 7 months now. Work great. You have to push them into your ear pretty good to get a good seal and also brings better sound quality. Only con is after awhile, the main center piece starts to pull out of the replaceable inserts easier. Need better barbs on the center piece. Otherwise, realistic noise protection is more like 19-20. Still way better than no music all day!

They aren't as good as some other earphones, but they have a long battery life.

As a carpenter I use power tools all day but also like music. These plugs are comfortable and powers through an 8 hour workday. For the noisier tools you can push them a little tighter in your ear to block more sound. They are comfortable for all day, just wipe them down with alcohol everyday. The sound is not great if you are used to more bass, but you get used to it. Adjust your smart phone equalizer to boost the bass a little.

I always preferred Plugfones to other brands. However, I tried a competitor's completely wire free earbuds and didn't like them at all. Plugfones seem to have the best fit. And I think the sound quality is really good for the price.

I bought these to wear at work. They work really well and sound great, but they are not built well. Pros: They look exactly like the ear protection that my job requires, but they are earbuds so I can listen to videos and podcasts to make my workday less boring. They are comfortable, so wearing them for the whole day is not a problem. They sound surprisingly good. They come with a handy plastic carrying case for storage. Cons: There is really only one - they are not built well. For a product that is intended for a work environment they are very fragile. This pair only lasted me 16 days at work. I don't beat on them, and the cord is run under my shirt so it does not hang or catch on things. But the cord does bend where it connects to the plug. After 14 days I had to add tape to get a signal in both channels, and a couple days later they did not work at all. Overall: Being able to listen to earbuds while I work is worth the expense to me. Except for the durability issue I really like these, and I have ordered 2 more pairs of the cheaper model because it has a 90° angle at the plug, plus I will add tape at the beginning so there won't be a flexing issue.

These earbuds are the best I've ever used. Works fantastic on my motorcycle and mowing the lawn. Superb noise cancelling properties. Great buy for the money!!

Absolutely love these. I where every day for almost 2 years now in a fab shop where headphones are not welcome. I do miss the old foam contractor orange replacements though. I am on my 3rd set so they do where out. However I use these at least 5 days/week 7 hours each day so they take a beating. I will continues to buy this product. Don’t know what I’d do without them

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.

If you're thinking of buying, LOOK AT ALL THE PICS! It has a very obvious mic that hangs down right at your mouth. I got these because they are similar to the earplugs provided at work and, were it not for the microphone, they would be perfect.

I work at a machine shop, I’m historically rough with inexpensive things like these headphones or buds or whatever you want to call them AND I rarely write reviews. These stupid little ear plug fakers are GREAT! Despite the tiny gauge wire which I constantly tug on, they have yet to spark out on me even once! Look, for the price, get a set, can’t beat it!

I bought these in May 2016. I've used them under a motorcycle helmet and they worked well, though they got pulled out of my ears when taking off the helmet. I wear them while mowing or edging the lawn, though again, sometimes they get caught and ripped out of my ears. I keep them wrapped up in my purse with no bag and pretty often the buds come off the wire. I've also used them underneath ear-muffs while wood working. I've found that "bed phones" work far better for this because they're flat and bluetooth. Now, one of the ears has stopped transmitting sound unless I hold the wire in a very specific way. I was just going to switch to regular headphones because I use bedphones for most everything now (and they're bluetooth). But when I remembered that I use them for lawn work, there's not really another option. I'll search for a bluetooth version of these in the spring.

Very durable loud and noise canceling

In construction they don’t want you to listen to music on headphones or out loud half of the time. But if your headphones look like ear plugs…… ya they are great. Now I just want some that look like the push in ear plugs without the cord and I will be in heaven. Sound quality was ok but that’s fine there is a concrete saw in the background too. They are perfectly comfortable and legitimately cancel a ton of sound like legit ear plugs. Price is a little high but they market demand is kinda niche so I get it. Overall I’m 100% satisfied

Sounds good cord is long enough to hide it so your boss won’t see it

This product did as advertised. Works well to subside heavy noises and allow for easy music listening. Used during my time working construction.

I use these for work everyday and they go through a lot of abuse and have held up fine. The only thing about them that is a draw back for music is they have 0 bass. I guess that’s the trade off for such a small speaker. Still sounds pretty good just no bass. I listen to podcasts all day at work so it isn’t a big deal. Battery life is around 10-15 hours depending on how loud and how often I pause. The pause button or Bluetooth connecting or something has gone funky on me. I have to hit the button 3 times on the unit or twice on my phone to get it to play after pausing. Not a deal breaker just annoying, didn’t start out this way. Would still 10/10 recommend to anyone interested!!

I'm on my second pair, they are not meant to last forever folks... I'm a welder, so the fact they even manage to last a week is great! Like I said I'm on my 2nd pair in 6 months. And that's working 10-12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week....I do clean them with alcohol every night just to try and keep them clean. So I'm ok with the price the quality is good plus just to be able to sneak music in is worth it to me.

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...

Absolutely love these. They cancel out so much outer noise and they don’t hurt my ears. Only downfall for me is the cord is super long.

Surprisingly good sound quality.

Very convincing as ear plugs where ear buds aren't allowed. I wish the cord was about 6 inches longer but it works.

Loves these very comfortable and discrete. Working in a factory around loud presses being able to listen to music and still have approved headlines makes the day go much faster

These things are awesome. The running joke in the shop is, don't tell anyone about them so no one finds out they aren't, "ear plugs." Pro's Discreet, we have these blue/yellow ear plugs at work. And it's pretty noisy usually. They are instantly disregarded as normal earplugs. They reduce outside noise level Con's The foam plugs that come with them are a bit too big and get dirty easy The sound is "ok" The cord is a bit short for having to run the wire all the way to my phone in my pocket. If I turn too far with my neck they usually pull out of my ear. Go ahead and get silicone replacement plugs. It's just a matter of time before the foam ones get dirty.

Very good

4.5 stars: After 1 month, one side starting cutting out after 10-60min of use. No amount of manipulation of the plug or wiring affects the issue. After 20min unplugged, they start working but would cut out again after a time. Until this started happening I really loved them for noise reduction, comfort, and clear audio in the noisy conditions I use them in. For the price, they fully met my expectations. The manufacturer's website has a clear 180day warranty policy so I submitted the replacement request form provided. I'll update the review once I determine their resolution. Update: the manufacturer responded a couple days after submitting my replacement request. They asked me to fill out form and email pics of the form along with my plugfones. They immediately responded saying a replacement was shipped - which I received about 4 days later. Very happy with the responsiveness. I'll report back if the new ones have any issues.

Good ear plug with excellent noise reduction. Good sound quality and volume. I ride a motorcycle on the highway with these in and the wind noise is very low while my music and audio books are loud and clear. My volume is not even all the way up. The only complaint is that their girth makes them difficult to insert compared with any other ear plug I have ever used. And once inserted, putting on a full face helmet can pull them out. I would buy these again.

Deadens road/wind noise well for use under a motorcycle helmet but as with normal ear plugs, I can still hear what is going on around me. Great for not getting as tired from constant noise for longer trips and presumably for air travel as well. A tip to keeping the silicone plugs clean is to periodically sort of rolling the plug between your fingers while moving your pinch up the plug in effect squeezing any built up wax out of the plug and ideally, keeping it from being pushed further and further into the tiny tube that runs the sound from the diaphragm through the plug.

Was awesome until I got caught with them and my boss cut them in half

The battery doesn’t last more than 8 hours if you’re actively listening to music, the noise cancellation is enough to get by in the shop

I have been using these for about 6 months maybe one day a week and they are still working great. I recommend the following: A cord clip so the wire clips to the back collar of my undershirt. This is important so there is always some slack so your head can turn without pulling on the wire. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BSH86Y6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This MP3 player is tiny and runs for a 12 hour shift. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3QPN3Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sanitizing wipes to clean the ear plugs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01633Y242/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are great for my workplace. The silicone tips are changeable and washable, fit even my small ear canals with reasonable comfort, and look like standard issue ear plugs. I don't have a particularly aggressive work routine, and mine are still like new even after hours of wear and tear. I drop the cord down my shirt in the back and tuck it around my side, plugged into a Bluetooth receiver (Jumbl) and that's hidden under my clothes. The sound quality is not as good as some higher end earbuds or even my Bluetooth ear muffs, but they beat the sound of my own thoughts in my head and the dull hisses and noises of machinery. I will say that the bass is pretty good for those who like that. I listen largely to documentaries and some of the more quiet speech occasionally gets lost, but I don't think that's any fault of the ear plugs. My only real complaint is the jack is not reinforced/angled like on the purple 1.0 style. I just know I am going to rip the wiring asunder eventually. I'd also personally like to see 'small' size foam or better yet silicone tips for us with tiny ear canals. Standards fit well enough for me, but others might not be so lucky.

Looks just like earplugs. They have good sound. I work in a factory and they are perfect for on job earplugs/buds.

They are comfortable and work very well the only complaint I would have is that my red pair only charges up to 90% so on the days I start with those is usually the only day that the same pair won't last the whole 10 hour shift

Los compre para usar con ruido marron para poder dormir, tengo unos vecinos insoportables que ponen música a todo volumen esto me esta ayudando mucho

I've used these headphones for over 5 years now. I work in a factory and they help save my hearing. I wear them at work, at home (mowing the lawn or using machinery), even on hikes. I use them every day for hours. The battery is great. The sound is great. I mostly listen to books, but sometimes music. I can wear them and have a conversation with people without issues. They come with 2 tip options. I use the silicone ones and I never have any problems with ear aches or headaches. I wear them for 5-8 hours a day, at least 5 days a week. I used to leave them in my car to charge and so I wouldn't forget them, but the heat and cold caused the wire to come apart by the earpiece after like a year. These are so worth the money. I love that they have a cord connecting them so I can take them out of my ear whenever I need to and not have to worry about losing one. Excellent customer service too. Fantastic product.

I have E*A*R brand ear plugs like these that are the best. These work (almost) as well for sound suppression, ( like 92%), and they play music! The volume is a bit limited, ( a good thing) but, even when I am grindingon steel, I can hear the music clearly.

I work in heavy industry around a lot of noisy machinery. Hearing protection is a must. I found that when I receive (or make) a phone call, there is no way I can hear the other party. I've tried a various earbuds designed for sports and fitness to no avail. So based on reviews I tried these. The noise attenuation is in keeping with similar standard earplugs, the sound quality is very good even for music and I can make and receive phone calls without having to go find a quiet zone. Excellent value for the money!

I really like them for work. I am a construction worker. Wish the controls were near the ear part and not the plug part

I bought this to try with racing scanner for nascar, its VERY loud there and I was not sure if I could hear the scanner over the noise BUT these worked great. Clear sound. And noise reduction was great.

This is definitely a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of its combined parts. Definitely not Bose quality sound but when you need these, you need these and they do work great for what they are. There are some minor annoyances and imperfections but if your looking at these you probably need them for something specific and I think you will likely be very satisfied. Stated clearly, If you need earplugs with sound this is the ticket... if you just want earbuds or headphones look at earbuds and headphones, not these.

These are awesome.

Sound quality i feel could be much better, bass is mediocre and the sound is slightly tinny, takes a little getting used to. Comfortable to wear, long lasting battery, discrete design and good hearing protection. I use these daily in my factory job, they seem fairly durable so far.

I use these plugged into my Sena 10S Bluetooth intercom on my motorcycle helmet. They give me hearing protection and much better audio than the Sena speakers. I've worn them for 6 hrs of riding and they were still comfortable

Much better audio than the previous version (more bass), though the rubber plugs feel like they block less noise now. Still, they're a huge improvement over the last disposable versions. UPDATE: 8/15/2015 One star off because the rubber plugs are useless with this version, even though I would prefer their ease of use for don/doff. The Rubber plugs are not very good for riding. At least for me, above 40mph, the windnoise is so loud, it's uncomfortable. I switched to the foam ones and it's much better! The foam ones are more of a pain to put in, but they work much better. If I had to guess I'd say that the rubber plugs are 15dB and the Foam ones are actually 25dB. Audio is still much better than the last version. If you want to use the rubber ones, you may have to insulate the speaker housing by wrapping it with some double sided tape and shrink tubing, or maybe even some rubber handle dip. Too much surface is exposed and it carries the noise right through the rubber plug's barrier.

Great ear plugs/buds. Not extremely loud but has awesome sound quality and bass. These don't need to be loud though due to noise cancelation. Without music playing, it'll be like having standard ear plugs in, with music, you won't hear any outside noise coming through. Very comfortable and very long cord .

I wear these in the shop and in bed to listen to podcasts. They are great. I use the silicone covers so I don't have to roll the foam ones every time. The foam ones were uncomfortable too, but I have little ears. I like that the buttons are way down by the plug so they can hang just out of your pocket, and out of the way. The sound quality is good. I haven't used these to make a call, so I can't speak for the quality of the mic.

They sound good and are decent for blocking out sound. Noise still leaks through and the cord is long and heavy with the gadgets needed for function. One would to well to clip a heavier section to an article of clothing if doing cardio. I wonder at times if I would be better served by my Workphones (muff style ear protection with bluetooth) while at the gym, since they seem to work better for blocking out sound. I suppose these are good for not looking outlandish while impatiently waiting for gym equipment and stifling the shouts of bros jacked up on preworkout

Though I'm still looking for that magically silent sound stage on the open highway with nothing but pure sweet music in my ears, these plugs are the best I've found in the interim. The fidelity isn't terrible. They are about 2/3 as quiet as a full-on foam earplugs. I tried the foam tips first and found them difficult to insert and uncomfortable. Switching to the rubber tips, they were easy to insert, much more comfortable, and to my surprise noticeably quieter. While these plugs didn't entirely silence the wind and engine noise, the music was definitely the primary sound in my ears, and I could hear most of the finer nuances, even at speeds up to 70 MPH. The real beauty of these plugs though is that nothing but flexible wire sticks out of your ears at all, making it easy to get a full-face helmet on and off without so much as budging the plugs from whatever perfect position you arranged them in originally. Tested on a Triumph Bonneville T120 with no windscreen, inside a Shoei RF-1200 helmet, playing RUSH "2112".

Dudes and Dudettes let me tell ya something. If you want some eat phone plugs that work great and sound phenomenal then these are just that. I love em. I have an Indian motorcycle with Loud pipes and don't even have to turn them all the way up. I prefer to listen quietly so I can hear road noise as well and these will either drown road noise out or allow you too hear it if you want. Works great with a half helmet too. Do yourself a favor and get these first. I didn't but if these need up somehow I'll be getting another set. Thanks for making an awesome product that doesn't skip and glitch and sounds great.

Sound quality is a little poor but they do their job. They work well as ear plugs and look just like our company supplied ear plugs to be sneaky

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.

Well they won’t as long as you arnt like me and dance around and sing lol. These are great BUT they will wear out eventually. Slide them down your back and wear a shirt that covers your pockets. Cord is long enough to go down your back and into a front pocket. I am not advising you wear these while operating or around heavy machinery or where it is unsafe to not be able to hear your surroundings.

This is my second pair in 3 years. I had to replace my first pair only after I ripped the cable from the earplug, but that was my mistake and I have to admit it took quite a bit of effort to break them. I use these when I ride my Harley. Works well with a full face helmet. I use the silicone plug and it cuts out almost all wind noise and a lot of the exhaust notes, even without playing music. I'm trying to save whatever hearing I have left after 25 years on a bike, so I usually have the music on fairly low - just a 2 volume clicks above where I would listen in a quiet room and it's clear enough to hear lyrics. Downside is I can't really hear cars around me, but I've accepted with that. Only con I have is that there is no volume/music controller on this version, and the Liberate 2.0 has the controller too close to the plug end for it to be useful for me on a bike.

Edit: item arrived broken, contacted plugphones and they are sending a new pair. I enjoy using every minute of these while I’m at work, I’m a welder so music saves me from thinking too much, plus they look like the earplugs my work supplies.

These are perfect for yard work. Totally block out the motor noise and stay in your ears comfortably. The sound is pretty good but does distort at higher volumes but they stay put all day. All the other Bluetooth earbuds I have tried are frustrating because I have to stop and put them back in my ear or, they don't block the ambient noise. They are a little pricey but the battery will last all day. They will also drowned out the annoying coworker that won't stop talking.

For work

The top end isn't all hyped and crispy - the bottom end is what you'd expect for decent earbuds. But the fact that they are probably 20-23dB down on ambient noise - killer for MC riding with music/GPS/intercom systems (why I tried them). Two sets of foam earplug thingies for fit, and they don't interfere with helmet entry/exuit, nor do they feel pressure while wearing a MC helmet. Shy of custom fitted/molded headphones - these are a great hybrid of noise blockage and headphones. I'm an audio professional, and have tried MANY noise blocking headphones, especially for MC riding. Dont; waste your time with trying others, now I need to try the more expensive versions once I lose/ruin these!

They definitely sound better then their corded model. Battery lasts forever too which is awesome. Only problem I had with mine was one of the buds came apart when I first got it. I pushed it back together cause I didn't want to go through that hassle of returning it and so far so good it's held up fine. Honestly with safety oriented jobs sites these things have changed my life. God forbid safety sees you wearing headphones but they absolutely love it when you have hearing protection in!

Sound is really good for the price. I’ve been using it at work for 2 weeks and no one has notice and hopefully never will lol

I purchased my first pair over a year ago. I'd read reviews that they were not durable but figured for under $30.00 if they lasted a few months of riding they'd be worth it. I'm VERY hard on earbuds, generally going through 4 or 5 pairs a year (generally fail due to the wiring breaking at the bud or at the plug end). I bough theses specifically for motorcycle riding. They allow me to listen to music or audiobooks at moderate volume levels (compared to regular earbuds that need to be at high volume to be heard over the wind). They work fantastically at that role, and for the last year I wore them every time I rode (even if I wasn't listening to anything) for their ear protection properties. Even better, they appear to have overcome their QC issues because my first pair of plugfones lasted the entire year (18,000 miles on the bike). A couple weeks ago one side stopped working and I immediately ordered a new pair (figuring I'd finally broken them). It turns out that what happened is that the foam had degraded and parts of it were stuck in the speaker opening. I cleaned it out and now they're working again... so I just ordered foam replacement - and will have 2 pair of plugfones. I recommend this product for both quality and performance without reservation.

These are overall great sound and comfort for the money. I have owned several sets. The durability was the main issue. One speaker would just stop working. The last couple pair seem to do much better.

I waited some months to tell you, these are excellent for downlow secret listening. The spend most their time hanging down my chest getting all over everything so I can hear people while I fix their machines. I have to do that with normal hearing protection too. These have survived months of 6 days a week 12 hours a day hardcore work. It’s hard to hear around the noisiest machines but I don’t spend too long under those Next half year update. Identical to day I bought them, they spend 12 hours a day 6 days a week in my ears or hanging so I can hear machine, I listen to about 6+ hours of streaming radio a day. No one still knows they are Bluetooth and not regular ear plugs.

I bought these to replace the speakers on my Cardo Pactalk Slim while riding my motorcycle. Speakers inside your helmet really don’t do well if you have a loud bike or when the speeds get higher. There’s just to much ambient noise inside your helmet. These fit snugly in my ear. They do a good job of blocking out noise but still allow me to hear other riders over the network clearly, listen to music or make a phone call well above legal speeds. I’ve been using them for almost a year now and will never use speakers in my helmet again. The sound quality is so much better.

This is my second pair after the first pair lost audio in one side after 6 years of tough use and abuse. I not only would buy them again, I did. Please do follow the directions to reach behind your head and pull your ear back while inserting the earbud on each side. You’ll be glad you did.

I am someone who has bought multiple pairs of these, due to wear & tear over the course of a few years I've known of this product. And at that, multiple pairs of the different styles this company offers. I can honestly say, they didn't start out with the greatest quality in general overall. But over the years they have improved here or there. Whether it be the sound quality or their durability. Now I'm going to say, not every plug phone set made by this company is created equal, & that includes sets of the same style. I have ordered a pair, & straight out of the box, one of the plugs didn't have sound(was defective) this has happened 3 times. 2/3 was with the orange foam pair,the otber I have experience with 3 different styled pairs, and they each have their own pros and cons. I would also like to add that I have noticed that the company making these have continued to improve them over time in some way, please keep this in mind. The sets i have experience with are the yellow rubber ones, the yellow floam ones, and the orange foam ones. The yellow rubber ones seem to be the most delicate with pulling and pushing into the ear canal. Handle these with care. I have enjoyed the sound of these the most. I also found they are the most comfortable. The cord for this pair is shorter than the other 2 of not equal to the length of the yellow foam style. The thing most common to stop working is the sound in one lf the ear pieces due to the cord being delicate as well. Size wise would refer this style to most of the population as they are also the most flexible ear pieces. The yellow foam style have lasted me the longest between the 3. This set has the best balance between size, comfort, sound, and durability between the other 2 previously mentioned. The cord is the same length as the yellow rubber set. But the cord is of a plastic material that doesn't catch as easily on clothes. The orange foam pair are a bit larger in size than the other 2, yes even when squishing the foam down. I recommend these for people who have a slightly larger ear canal. The comfort for me b/c, they were a bigger size only, was uncomfortable. This pair seems to have been the most durable, unless you were unlucky enough to get a pair with one defective ear piece. The sound on these i find aren't as good as the other 2, but for me that could've been b/c theu didn't fit properly. This set has the longest cord of the 3 & it is made out of a common shiny plastic material that doesn't catch on anything, except if you're sweating, it may catch against your skin then. I don't recall the yellow rubber set coming with extra covers, but that's a bit fuzzy and i may be wrong. The 2 foam sets do most definitely come with extra foam pieces to change out of. The foam ones do dirty a bit faster. I sadly haven't exactly had a 100% success rate at changing out the ear pieces. It ks not recommended. If you can ride out the pair until you may need a new one, it's easier to just do that. Now as for the part of the cord that plugs into your audio device. This has changed and varied in quality & appearance over time. I have had sets where this part of the cord went and either stopped working all together or only worked by bending it a certain way. As stated above not all sets/and styles are madr equally. And this wear and tear could happen on any set/style.

Bizarrely miserable auditory conditions like misophonia and hypericusis are unfortunately very real, and I'm not talking about being annoyed by someone loudly chomping their food with a clicking jaw. For most people, being annoyed by that sound is basically just being human. I'm talking about the kind of life where one is developing instant nausea when the sound of a blow dryer at a certain Hz level turns on, or getting a migraine headache when cymbals play over a phone speaker. Large portions of my life have been defined by highly-specific sound sensitivity that caused a physical response and recently when I decided to take a year-long extension class with hundreds of people, I put myself in a situation where I was suffering on a daily basis. Before long I had triggered an episode of full-blown hypericusis which was miserable on a level I didn't know existed. Every sound I heard was irritating and the very act of anticipating it began to give me uncontrollable anxiety, which made my hearing worse, and it was a vicious cycle for months. I tried everything including other brands of "noise cancelling" headphones but they really didn't seem to do the trick. I took a leave of absence from the class but am due back in a few weeks, and I was extremely worried about the situation until I tried these headphones. The difference in noise dampening is amazing. So much less sound competition and background chaos. The human cacophony is quieted and I feel like I can actually focus on what I need to do. The buds also charge easily and quickly, but the best part is that you get two pairs!! Now I never have to suffer through a room full of reels/videos/tiktoks/snapchats/stories (seriously it is SO excessive and rude, particularly when it's multiple people or at a high volume, and especially with some of the content that exists). No more avoiding the long echoing halls with clacking high heels or symphony of ringing phones in the waiting areas at work. Loud noises don't have to be my enemy if I don't have to hear all of it so aggressively. As of now I'm a huge fan of this product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Once the class starts again, I'll be sure to see how these are when they're being used constantly all day every day, and I will be updating this review if the performance suffers.

I purchased them nearly half a year ago, and they are still working. Not the best sound quality, but I work in a warehouse where they don’t allow headphones so they get the job done in a discreet effective way. Not once was I questioned whether they were actually headphones or earplugs. (I ran the wire on the inside of my shirt down in my pocket to my phone). Definitely worth it if you work in a warehouse or something. It makes time go by so much faster.

Working on a factory line as a Engineer sometimes I can be alone for hours examining and fixing things. These let me listen to Audiobooks and I am able to apply to our companys guidlines for hearing protection. The noise cancelation is amazing and I feel like its a normal set of ear plugs when i have them paused or off. I can go all day without having to charge and they charge up really quick.

I work on a lot of jobs requiring ear protection and i always like to listen to music while i work (hydrovac excavation) and many pipelines won’t let you wear earbuds. These work not only as great earbuds/plugs they also look enough like normal earplugs I’ve never been caught. 10/10 would buy again

UPDATE: So I bought these September 2nd, today is 12/27. Seems like they disconnect more than they did the first couple minutes. No idea if it's phone related or earbud related, but it seems to happen more with one of my pairs than the other. To fix it I have to go to my device to forget the earbuds, and then I have to repair them. Then they're fine. I have two pairs, and between the two they get about 36 hours worth of use per weekend. I always have one charging and the other one in my ears, been that way for 4 months now. So I wear these at work to listen mainly to audiobooks. I work in a machine shop, and I couldn’t tell you the exact decibel level, but I know it’s under OSHAs limit requiring ear plugs, I always wore earplugs anyway. These block out the outside noise nearly as well as earplugs of similar construction when not being used to listen to anything. Sound quality to me isn’t that important. As far as I can tell the quality is pretty good. Easy to pair and the buttons are pretty self explanatory. Now for the negatives. Advertised battery life is 10 hours. I didn’t expect to get the full 10, because that’s just how it is. I get about 7-8 hours on a full charge. It would be able to work my full 12 hour day without a charge in the middle. Fortunately, I just bought a second unit, so I listen till the low battery comes on, then switch it out. The cord doesn’t like to stay in place. The included clip is useless. I found the best way is to rest the cord on the back of my neck and cross the ear plugs in front. Might look dumb, but it works. Those last two are fairly trivial, this last one is the only one that really bugs me. It sometimes disconnects out of nowhere. My phone is in my pocket and all of a sudden my audiobook stops and all I hear is “disconnected”. So I have to turn it off and then back on and it connects right away. It take 30 seconds to a minute to do, and it’s just a pain in the rear if I’m busy.

Purchased for my husband as an alternative to wearing larger noise cancellation muffs while using a chainsaw, mowing, etc. He came in to tell me to get him a backup pair because they’re so awesome. They are not quite the equal of large expensive muff-style protection but pretty close, and so much more convenient than the big ones. Maybe I’ll order a pair for myself for his deep snoring nights...

The only thing I did not like, is the battery is heavier then the control side. It doesn’t hang even around my neck.

I work in a cabinetry plant this isn’t quite as good as the earplugs they provide but they’re the next best thing better since they have music. I will say the first version I had sounded better but had less battery life. Comparing old to new I did prefer things about the old one that the this model doesn’t have. For instance the old model would tell you your battery level when you turned them on also would notify you more then once before shutdown. Overall if you work for nazis that don’t like music these are a solid fix to that issue just color in the blinker!!

I wear them in a factory and they cancel the noise really well. I can take a call and be able to hear what someone is saying on the phone.

I love these I can wear them at work and they work great. Battery lasts about 8-9 hours! Sound quality is great just bought my 2nd pair so I have a back up pair:)

I got this so I can listen to music when I ride, At 80 MPH it cut's out a lot of wind noise and I can hear the music with out turning it up. It's a very basic system but it works well.

I have owned about 3 pair of plug phones....I work in high noise environments on top of welding in these environments. I would recommend these to everyone. The battery life on pervious one would last around 6 hrs, these however last the 12 hrs like advertised. Hearing protection side is good. Most normal earplugs are rated for 32 to 36 db the plug phones I use are rated for 26db and they work great. Very good product for the price

Great bass and sound. No complaints so far at all. It does exactly what the maker defines. Disguises as earplugs, noise cancellation is great. I'm in and out of a factory all day, yes I hear various noises, but it's perfect for the price and provides exactly what I need to "wear earplugs" PPO, and enjoy music while I'm in a factory. Also they are comfortable. If you wear earplugs all day, you will not have any complaints. If you're not used to wearing earplugs, I can see the discomfort.

Use them at work, they look just like and work like regular earplug. They actually block sound better than the ones my factory provides. This is the second pair I bought the first pair one ear went out after 4-5 months, but I think they are worth the money to not have silence.

One complaint is the same one I have with all these motorcycle related speakers and phones, ilthey are so high pitched. This one was pretty good, though. I thought it sounded pretty average everywhere, as opposed to mostly high pitch. The plugs themselves are bigger than I would prefer, and can bother me after a while, especially in my shoei rf 1200. All in all, I'd say excellent for the price point!

I bought my first pair of these months ago and I have been using them on my job daily. 7 days a week and any where from 8 - 12 hours a day. I work in a foundry its dirty and extremely hot so far they have worked flawlessly. I even where them around the house some days before and after work. I'm fairly rough on them. I want you to know how much I wear my ear buds. a typical pair of 20 $ walmart skullcandys ONLY LAST ME 30 DAYS. Like clock work those skullcandys go bad that's how much I use them. The plugphones are still working from my first set. They could be a little louder and the sound quality is good but not like a high end pair of earbuds. For audiobooks or pod cast they work great. I highly recomend them if like me u work in an enviroment where if you have fun your fired or your lazy and are going to be fired then use these. I have spoken to my supervisor to area supers and the plant president and not one had the slightest clue I was listen to head phone lol its great. They were so happy with my boss thinking it was him who got me to start wearing ear plugs instead of ear buds. Lol they are well worth every penny

After my Etymotic ER6i's finally died (after ~10 years) I tried several other models before finding these. I really like them. The can is short which makes it easy to get a good and comfortable fit, even when wearing a motorcycle helmet (my primary use case for these). Not only are the comfortable, but they also block out a good amount of noise. Sound quality is better than I expected. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and am hence somewhat picky. These are more than acceptable in terms of sound quality, bordering on good even, and have respectable, but not overpowering, bass response. Vocals are clear. My one gripe is that I have not yet found any markings to show which is left or right. It doesn't matter a whole lot given my specific use case for these, but still - having a clear marking would be nice.

Don’t understand why the button is so close to the aux, and also the foam plugs get dirty super quickly, other than that they work great!

Worked great right out of the box as they were already charged recharge them for work later that night, they worked great was able to get almost 8 hours of listening to music out of them before the battery died box says up to 10hrs so will see but overall so far great product I do know others with the same product that have an experienced any issues

I love them lasted me about two years but I work in a pretty rough job and they finally gave out

Gooooddddd

I ordered these a year ago and they were fantastic. They lasted 12 hour shifts at work and were great for noise cancellatiom. Ordering a new pair now, they've only gotten better since my last purchase a year ago. The foam tips were improved and it came with this rubber channel to keep them around your neck which wasn't a thing when I ordered before. Mine were always loose and I needed something else to keep them from falling off my neck. I don't quite remember but it feels like they also included more rubber tips this time around too which I was always preferential to. I would always recommend them before but I didn't know about the new changes until now.

This is my second pair if these headphones. They work amazing! My first pair lasted for approximately a year. I will continue to buy these because there’s nothing bad that I can say about them.

I use these to block out sound in our moderately noisy office. Without music, they don't completely block out the external chatter. However, I only have to play white noise/music at a very low volume to completely block external sounds. It does provide overall better isolation than average earbuds. Ive had them for a month and no quality /connection issues. I use the silicone plugs. I found the foam ones worthless.

Have been using these for YEARS at work ever since I found out about them. They are better hearing protection than the ones my company provides! (the foam tips are better; silicone tips are the same/slightly less than my work ones, but still very safe) Sound is quality. Not going to get amazing bass, but they have a good enough 'bump' to them, and are very clear to hear. Durability is quality (for me at least) I use them 8-12hrs, 6-7days a week in a warehouse environment and they have held up just fine for me. (but I am also sorta ocd about keeping my equipment in good condition, so your experience may vary) Battery lasts right around 12hrs on a full charge. Battery life also determines on what you're using them for; If you use them to talk on the phone for a long period of time, the battery drains faster than if you just use them to listen to music/etc. But the plus is they are fairly quick charging. If I know the battery isn't full and I have to work a 12hr unexpectedly, I can throw them on the charger for 10mins or so and they will last the rest of my shift just fine. I know it probably goes against everything you've ever been told when buying electronics, but I recommend getting the Asurion insurance it offers when you purchase them. I've been using these for years, 6-7days a week for the past 5 or so years, and every pair I've bought only lasted right around a year, year and a half before something internally went wrong with them. Whether it be one of the earpieces stops working, or the microphone stops working, its always something right around the same time after purchase. But the Asurion insurance makes it very easy to make a claim, turn them in, get reimbursed and buy a new pair. basically you're getting your next pair for only 8bucks with the insurance. Not a bad deal for a bit of a failsafe. Hopefully your pair wont, but just in case.

Best accessory for motorcycle riders! If you have several helmets but only want one device to listen to music as well as block out wind noise, this is the best option. Battery lasts forever and the sound quality is excellent. If you ride a motorcycle, you need this!

I wanted to use them on my riding lawnmower, listening to podcast. They do cut out a lot of background noise but not enough to block the riding mower. They would be great for flights, or as a passenger in a car. Happy to have them and will use them on other projects.

I bought these to use as a musician in a worship setting. The church uses click track systems and in-ear monitors, and I wear a battery pack that I plug earbuds into. I wondered if there was such a thing as earbuds with hearing protection, and I officially found them here! I am glad to be protecting my ears in an already loud setting, where I can listen to the click track at a safe volume while still being able to hear the rest of the team and keep my hearing along the way. Thank you Plugfones!

These are a decent set of ear plug/phones. Very discreet. Look exactly like safety plugs when tucked in the back of your shirt. The cord is very long to allow for the control module and battery to hide in the back of your shirt. On that note, The control module and battery seem to be noticeable under a t-shirt but if attention isn’t brought to it, it won’t be noticed by others I don’t think. I noticed them in the mirror but I know it’s there. Someone else may see it and wonder what is slightly bulging from your shirt. Under the right shirt it shouldn’t be noticed. Especially a shop shirt or collared shirt. Sound quality: Gas station speakers The gas station sound quality can be expected considering the goal is to look like safety plugs. I wouldn’t complain if the quality improved considering the price point of $50. I could see these being sold for $39.95 I was hesitant on buying these because of the price point and expecting them to sound like a gas station speaker. I was not disappointed. But since my employer implemented no more earphones and mandatory ear plugs, I wanted to be able to make the appearance of compliance and have my music. Getting the idea from other employees made me look and I found these. Right out of the box they have a great battery life! They still allow for some entertainment to help pass the time. Not too loud to the point of distraction. The highs can be very shrill but nothing that turning the volume down won’t fix. If the sound quality was better I’d give it a 5 stars and be really happy paying $50. I’ll still use them because they get the job done. The boss and suck up hall monitor employees don’t realize they are Bluetooth. For that reason I am pleased. I would still recommend them to others. Just wish the price was lower and the sound quality could be better if at all possible. Update: had these for a couple weeks now and they are still doing great! After playing around with the positioning of the buds I was able to get better sound quality from them. It helps to put them in a little deeper. But not too deep! Still could use a little more bass but giving the nature of the product they sound very nice. They look exactly like safety plugs and raise no awareness from the boss man or what I like to call “hall monitors”. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear your surroundings. Pause the track with your smart watch if applicable. I still recommend these. I will also say that with the battery pack and control pack on the wires they tend to fall down the back of my shirt creating a tugging on the ears. I have to pull them back up. If they aren’t in my ears then they will fall down my shirt. It comes with a clip to help this situation but I’d have to put the clip so it doesn’t draw attention. So I don’t use it and just deal with the tugging. Still a nice set of phone plugs and they are OSHA compliant!

I use the plugphones for my Raceceiver at the dirt track. These are very comfortable in my ear and provide me enough hearing protection to hear our race information, and the cars around me which is important. I broke my first pair getting out of the car at my own fault, not the product. I believe the audio could be better but I'm still a repeat customer.

Ok Ill start by saying I read reviews of these and was leary but purchased anyway and so far one week in and 8 hrs a day they have been pretty good. The sound suppression as far a hearing protection works for what I need however in a very loud environment the silicone plugs wont cut it, Im sure the foamies will work better but there are not replacements for them and foamies are not cleanable. As for the sound quality, Certain songs come through a little tinny but what do you expect from a tiny speaker, sound quality depends on getting them to the right depth in your ear. Battery life has been great 8 hr shift no charging. You cant pause play on an mp3 player but volume adjust works. The range actually surprises me at times. Now to the important part the battery and controls hide under your shirt collar so far no one has questioned that they are ear plugs and I get to keep listening to my music so the night goes by faster. All in all Id definitely buy them again. I use these with a sandisk sport mp3 player that has bluetooth.

Don't expect these to blow you away with bass in your ear. They look just like the ear plugs factories make you wear. It's just enough to keep that one supervisor that's on a power trip ftom breathing down your neck about ear plugs, hear your tunes and flick em off at the same time

I've had a wired pair of these before and I loved them.. Now that I have an mp3 player with Bluetooth I got these and they are just as good as the other ones if not better

I purchased two kinds here in amazon but I can only see the wired one. These are really great. I have the wireless ones as well. I get about 8 hours on them. The company started out great with the foam plugs but have continued to change the design. Every design change they made to the foam plugs they claim is better NRR rating but I don’t think so. The originals they went for a bell shape, then a twist rocket shape to the, current tiny stepped shape. I believe the only ones that are any good are the bell shape that they no longer make. The bell shape is the only style that fits my ears and provides the best protection. I don’t believe the other designs are any good. I get major sound leakage around the edge of my ear canals because I guess they are too small for proper snug fit. My ear canal is too big for them. So I’ll still use them as long as I have the bell shape plugs. But once those are gone I’ll stop using them. Sad really, best ear plugs for my job but we’re ruined by constant design changes to make more money.

I wear these Bluetooth plugfones at work and the sound quality is great! I work 12 hours around noisy machinery and the noise cancelation is magnificent! The battery life is insane. I only charge when I get off and use the plugfones my entire shift. I have recommended these to my entire shift and a couple of people bought and love them too.

Husband loves, not the best quality, but perfect for what he needs

Best Buy for the money hands down. Use these for mowing on the tractor. I’ve tried head phones but with sun glasses and a hat it just don’t work, not to mention my ears melt from the heat and sweat. They work just as good as a set of 400.00 head phones without the side effects. If a tree branch rips them off and you ruin them - no biggie! For 20 bucks get another pair! You’ll cry for a week doin that to a set of Bose!

Great sound, even the bass kinda suprised me, super comfortable and great while working in a machine shop.

So i read some of the review's befor buying, some people seem to think that they are buying something with the quality of 200 dollar ear buds and compare them to that price point? Are they beats? No. Do they block out sound? Yes! Do they sound like normal earbuds you can pick up for 20 bucks? Yep! Do they work good on the job in a loud environment? Yes! Do they look and feel like ear pulgs?( for those that are trying to hide the fact that your at work with ear buds in) yep! Are they worth the like 19 dollars? Defiantly! Pros: Work good Sound good Look like normal ear plugs Cheap Cons: Arnt Bluetooth - but thats an easy fix with a small Bluetooth receiver.

These are great. I use them while mowing. They successfully block/lessen the noise of the mower and allow me to listen to my music at a lower, more comfortable volume. The foam and the silicone tips are very comfortable. The pairing process is easy and the controls are easy to use as well. I also find the molded neck piece is very comfortable. It keeps the wire out of the way and in place. Thanks for making a great product, truly worth the money.

They get loud. If you insert them correctly, they get really loud. Good battery life per charge, good noise cancellation( they're OSHA certified), good range, good bass, good durability, actually has a good microphone too. I used these for years at my last job without anyone noticing. Don't put these in a washing machine, I've had mixed outcomes. Sometimes they still work, sometimes they don't. As long as you're not using these to swim with, I think you'll be okay.

Fantastic! They're durable and my customers think I have real safety plugs in and they don't give me a hard time about them. Just as a precaution, they work so well, you have to keep the volume super low or you won't hear anything other than the music. These are super for on the plane too (I would even go so far as saying they work better than noise cancelling headphones). I had mine for over 6 months before the cable got a short just near the plug.... All the other ones only last maybe a month; mostly because I keep the phone in my back pocket while listening to music when I'm working.

Use them everyday at Work.. Usually last at least 6 months..

I always use these headphones! The only reason that I have to keep getting more is because I rip them at work. They are about 26 dB for NRR and sound just as good as SkullCandy Jibs™ and are very worth it. I recommend tj

The noise cancellation is amazing and the sound is very good quality!! I recommend this item!

I'm not too much of an audiophile, so I don't care that my audio is not perfect, but it is perfect for me. I have yet to get caught using these at my assembly job where ear protection is required and music is banned. These are also excellent at noise cancelling. You will want to adjust the accessibility settings on your phone to move the audio to one side of the earbuds because at a certain volume, you can NOT hear anything whatsoever! I pair these with a bluetooth receiver hidden in my shirt. We are allowed to have bags with us, so I keep my phone in my purse and no one is the wiser. I've actually been told to put them back in as I took them out to talk to someone! The wire is indeed pretty long, but nothing you can't coil up and tape. Highly recommended!

I use these at work , work in powdered paint both, have big paint suit on and these work perfect and boss likes them too cuz they are safety plugs !!

As a earbud they are cheap and obviously sound quality was not their main focus. But they are convincing for earplugs and feel much better than the typical earplugs they mimic, they “feel” like they give the same amount of noise isolation. They are great for what they are trying to be but man do i wish they had a little more on the lowend.

These function and look like regular ear plugs. They handle high temperatures and lots of sweat (I work 12-hour shifts as a furnace attendant). I listen to audiobooks mostly and these are perfect. These have kept my ears protected and my mind fed for two months and show no signs of wear. Just be sure to keep them clean. Will buy again.

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

***Edit*** I just purchased my 3rd set of these. Why 3? Because I use these 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Each set has lasted approximately 1 year. I would say that is a remarkable amount of time. Face it, that is more use than most earbuds receive. They look and work just like the hearing protection provided by my place of employment, but these are earbuds, as well. I have tried other earbud options (while waiting to receive my new plugfones), and have never found anything of this quality. They really do block the ambient noise of a manufacturing plant. As far as my original assessment of comfort, I got used to them. Besides, since other earbuds are not hearing protection, the noise of the plant hurts my ears if I try to use those other ones. These are by far, the best idea! EVER!! 🙂 ***end edit*** The new design is not as comfortable as the old one. However, it is easier to replace the foam and or silicone pieces than before. Still a wonderful find.

Comfortable. Charge fast and the battery lasts a long time. They look like industrial earplugs not music earbuds which is good. No one can tell you are listening to music. The negative is the sound quality is very poor. I had these same headphones I bought several years ago. They still work. And the sound was way better to on the old model. Way better. But these are okay for being able to listen to music vs just plain earplugs. I use them when riding my motorcycle. They are comfortable and perfect for riding.

These are great for riding motorcycles only down side is that the ear plugs might not fit you well if you have lil ears, would be cool if they was a lil louder but they are clear when you ride and stay in place I only used them three times so far will do an update if they break or anything in the near future but if you been look for good sound quality while riding this have been the best solution so far and trust me I spent thousands to find the perfect solution and other down side you might get a full 6 hours of listening time so get two pair if you ride far, the quality could also be better more rugged

These are awesome! I work in commercial and industrial construction and ear protection is a must. I like to listen to music but that’s not always an option but now with the pluggones I get the best of both worlds. Being osha compliment is a must and the tips are the same as you would get on any site. They are a good fit, I find that the foam ones are a little more comfortable when using all day but they also get dirty fast so I mainly use the rubber plug style. You get two sets of each type of plugs so if something is wrong or dirty they are easy to swap out. If placed correctly they will stay in all day and have no issues. Battery time is no joke either, I work 10 hr days sometimes more and they last the whole time without an issue. When you first turn them on they let you know he battery level (high med or low) And lastly the range is decent as well, I don’t typically go to far from my phone but iv noticed instead of just cutting out they fade which I thought was pretty cool. I have been about 100-200’ away or more without any issue in an open area. A+ product as far as I’m concerned and will hold up well. If you like music and need ear protection these are eh way to go.

The rubber or foam inserts are very effective in blocking sound. I frequently take walks near a highway with semi trucks and other noisy traffic and I can comfortably listen to podcasts while doing so. I've previously unsuccessfully tried several brands looking for sound blocking capability. Several years ago there was a brand, Blockade, that were effective and very similar but they've been discontinued and they were exorbitant. The rubber and foam inserts are removable from the speaker of the plugs and earwax is easily cleaned by rinsing in hot tap water. I'm no audiophile and primarily listen to podcasts but I do find the sound quality very good. I'm had no endurance or quality problems with these after a few months. I'm purchasing a spare pair today.

They definitely block out the outside noise, sound of music is great through them. Only downside is after a couple months of use one side or the other cuts out. Still block out noise but you get no music sound. Have bought 4 pairs now 3 of the 4 this has happened to the 4th ones I haven’t used yet. This happens to other coworkers as well. These definitely don’t last a long time but do work good for the price

Work

They work perfectly for what I wanted them for. They look exactly like earplugs, and the cord is long enough that you can tuck it into your shirt hiding the controls. Battery life is great... it'll last a 10 hour shift of listening. 3 of my coworkers have ordered a pair after seeing these.

Extremely happy with these. I'm using them with my cardo com system and they fit like a glove while wearing a helmet. The sound quality is very impressive. Only thing I regret is not ordering them sooner.

Are these good headphones? Yes. But I believe they're not completely worth the price. Pretty sure I spent $100 at the time. Sound quality is actually pretty good. Sometimes it appears to be bad but you have to perfectly get it in your ear to get the full range of sound. Constant notification about low battery is annoying. I don't know why that's common. Unnecessary Battery life fell over the course of me owning these which was only 2.25 years. I work a 10 hour shift. At first it would easily have enough power but after a while it would last only about 7 hours before low battery. Finally, it died only 2.25 years after purchase. That's not a long enough life. What I mean by it died is both sound channels stopped working. The headset will "turn on" indicated by the light. But no sound can be heard. The left and first and the right went out 2 weeks later. Shame, think I'll get the plug in ones this time.

Good quality, great sound, a little big for my ears but you can change the foam tips so I will be doing that with smaller ones. Overall great purchase. Battery life is enough for a regular 8hr shift.

Noise cancellation is way more than I expected. Though I understand why, still sad that there is not much bass so the sound quality suffers in that department. Everything else about these is amazing and very well built and priced.

They're very comfortable, and have perfect sound quality. Great for using on a motorcycle, or at work on a construction site. I had my last pair for almost three years with regular use! Unfortunately I found out they don't like washing machines, so don't let that happen. The only real damage on that pair, as far as I could tell, is that the wires got loose going into the jack so it just made a poor connection. I've had my second pair for quite awhile. They work great, and I even caught them on a clip of a drill which tore the insulation. Little bit of tape to fix that, but they never quit working.

I bought these specifically for the in-line media controller as an upgrade for my last set of Plugfones. They keep your ears from hurting after riding the lawnmower for a few hours, yet you can still listen to your music at a reasonable volume. (Standard in-ear headphones you'd need to have the music loud enough to damage hearing to muffle out the exhaust noise.) My only complaint would be the placement of the buttons. They are close to the plug end of the wire rather than up near the microphone like other headsets I've had. Also, I believe the buttons should be spaced out a bit for my application. Trying to use them while wearing gloves, you'll bump an adjacent button more than once. There's a minus (volume down), a plus (volume up), and a circle. The circle, press once for play/pause. Press twice in succession for next track. Press three times in succession to repeat current track. (Or three times, and then immediately again three times to go to previous track.) Trying to double-tap for next song while bouncing down the lawn, I usually nudge volume up or down at least once.

Have to wear earplugs for work but cant have ear buds because they do not block the sounds earplugs do. But these bridge that gap! And even though they are osha approved, the color is perfect for safety to think they are regular earplugs so you dont have to worry about proving they approved or anything

I've had these a few months and I like them for their value. I wear them under s full face motorcycle helmet and the isolation is very good. My problem is that the tube is blocked with ear wax and I need to figure a way to remove it. My old ER6i's had removable filters. You get what you pay for, most times.

Great earplugs, I have had these for about a year now. I bought these to hear music while riding my motorcycle, and they work fantastic for that. I can mow the grass and have the volume at 75% and not hear the mower at all. *About a week ago I forgot them in my sweatshirt pocket, which went through the washer and dryer. I untangled them, and plugged them in expecting them to be ruined. Nope! They still work perfectly! Summary: Best noise cancelling earphones I have ever used, solid bass, good sound quality. Never had to have the volume above 75%, plenty loud for me. Would buy again!

I have to do yard work which includes a chainsaw. It is much trial and error with these as there are no instructions provided. Once the are figured out they are amazing. To the manufacturer: PLEASE PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS!

this comes with 2 pair, one charging case, different ear fit pieces (triple layer are the best) they took a minute to get used to. you can volume up and down in them and voice control your phone, skip songs, answer calls all that. they each have a touch button on the exterior built into the earpiece so doesn't take up extra room. get loud and block out a lot of noise depending on the inner ear piece you're wearing (I only use the big one) mowed the lawn wearing them, put them in my pocket, forgot and washed my shorts! I sat them on the hood of my car to dry and they still work perfect!! nice to have 2 pair and they hook up separately so they can be used at the same time by different or same device. (only some devices support 2 headphones hooked up at once) HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! GREAT HEADPHONES! SUPER TOUGH!

I used these under my helmet during a recent cross-country motorcycle trip, and I am very pleased. They do muffle a fair amount of noise, and the audio quality is good, with a healthy amount of bass while also not sounding tinny on the other end of the spectrum. The cord is long, and I appreciated that the headphones have a piece to cinch the cords closer together. Also included is a “cord tamer” and a surprisingly useful carrying case. Finally, I got caught in the rain while wearing these which turned out to be a positive experience because it made the ear pieces more pliable, providing a better fit.

I have been using disposable earplugs and wanted to listen to music on my motorcycle. These cancel the engine and wind noise better than my old earplugs. Between songs, it's strangely silent. With music playing, all I hear is the music and it's like I'm floating down the road. Literally no other noise can be heard. I think it's excellent, and I really love these! I think you have to make sure you're using your eyes and being attentive, because you really won't hear anything with them on. **UPDATE** After 3 days, one of the plugs stopped working. I still use it as an earplug and only get music from the one working plug. The one that works it still going after a month of daily use. I got a different motorcycle, an sv1000 with dual yoshi exhaust, it's much louder and these don't block it out but they help. **NOTE** I also learned that it is illegal to be driving with these in your ears in my state. All forms of headphones are illegal while driving. So I've been enjoying the fact that one of the plugs is broken, so that I can still hear what's happening in one ear. It's probably safer, but still just as illegal.

I don't have them playing for the entire12 hour shift but I do have them on for about 13hours. So far I like the battery life. The sound quality isn't as good as a regular pair of earbuds but not as bad as a cheap set of headphones from the 24hr discount store. The noise cancelling part works just can't hear people talking in the noisy parts of the plant. They aren't quite as comfortable as my regular ear buds or ear plugs.

Works perfectly! Fast shipping

What's not to like? They are exactly like the earplugs people wear at my job. They keep outside noise out! Which is a good thing if your job is loud and you can rock out while your working. Dying laughing the whole time. Just dont tell anyone... It's your secret If you are looking for like super bad ass sound quality they are a 20 $pair of headphones it's awesome they play music ... be cool if they made an upgraded version for it ... I'd pay more but then again they are for work and I will probably just break em. These have lasted all summer. And I work a really intense job so... two thumbs up

They work excellent

To begin with, these earplugs + earphones are not intended for audiophiles, but are focused on two objectives: battery life, and protection against noise. And both do their job. I used them for about 7 hours, listening to audio and some occasional calls, so they last a whole working day without the need to place them in the case to recharge. They can be recharged several times before having to charge the case, and you also have the other pair of earphones. 30 hours without the need to plug them into a power outlet makes them ideal for long trips. Good noise cancellation, they work like earplugs, blocking a lot of the noise that is on the ramp of an airport where I work, although I recommend using overhead earmuffs in those places. The quality of the microphone is acceptable. The sound quality is its weak point, it is quite flat, although they are loud. The buttons work ok, although you have to press them a bit hard, personally I prefer these physical buttons than not the tactile ones. They don't fall out of the ears, after a few hours they can start to bother me, but that happens to me with all the earbuds. The case looks very cheap and low quality, not in line with the price of these earphones. I think they should include a second case for the second pair of earbuds, even if it does not provide a charge, but to be able to carry them from one place to another, since the main case is a bit large and does not fit in the pockets. In conclusion: they are not to enjoy and concentrate listening to music, but they are recommended to protect yourself from dangerous noises and listen to music in the background while working or traveling or doing other activities.

These served me well over the years but I have upgraded to the Bluetooth ones. The customer service at plugfone is amazing too.

I bought these since I work in a factory with loud machinery and I got tired of hearing the same noises for 12-hours straight. No complaints when it comes to quality, just don't pull them out of your ears by the cord, you'll probably damage them. The length of the cord is perfect. I'm able to run it under my clothes to my pockets with plenty of cable left. The sound quality is actually fantastic. I was surprised how clear the tones are and the bass is insane for these little things. The tips can easily be removed for cleaning. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because I was hoping it would block out more noise. The earplugs they give us at work are rated the same as these, yet these do not block out as much noise so that is odd. It is enough for what I do, just wish it was a little better when it comes to noise reduction. I highly recommend this product. I've already talked a few guys at work into ordering a pair.

These are great at work and no one knew I was using them. One downfall was I can't get orange replacement foam pieces except through the company. I did so but the mail person delivered them at the wrong address somi never received them. I'd rather go through amazon as I know they will get it to me.

Dont waste your money buy some treks they are way better last longer and more durable plus u can get a base pair for about 80$ MY PLUG PHONES SUCKED BUT I BOUGHT 3 pair of treks my self in 5 years my wife a pair and her mother and all of them still work today

I use this at work, during those long and lonely shifts at the warehouse. We are not required to wear earplugs but are forbidden from carrying a phone. I run the cord inside my shirt and a small hole in my pocket allows me to completely hide the fact that these are actually headphones. I have a sandisk mp3 player loaded with audiobooks and these work great. I have had them for over a month and not a single issue. I see some feedback saying they break or one ear goes out over a short period of time, but this hasn't been a problem for me. Perhaps because I am not constantly checking my player or removing the cord from the player on a regular basis. I am very satisfied with these and will repurchase when they do break. Worth every penny!

Im not even sure if there is a mic. During meetings on my laptop they can only hear me when Im near the laptop and not when I step away- this is crippling during troubleshooting experiences with OEM support techs and you need to step away from a charging laptop to check a device and report whats happening without walking all the way back to the laptop. The range is very impressive for the bluetooth signal I will agree. Thats the only issue Ive had for these over the year I have had them. Just now considering alternatives for meeting purposes.

These are great wired ear buds. Only thing be nice heavier wire to the buds. Good clear sound. Look just like ear plugs.

Perfect for people who have to wear earplugs for work! They dont even notice i have earphones in.

Out of all the ear phones I have purchased in the past. These are by far the best ones because I can insert them in my ears and don't have to worrying about them falling out like other brands I have worn. I have small ears and narrow outer canal which makes it difficult for ear buds to accommodate the wear. The sound quality is astonishing. I wore them during my workout on the treadmill this morning and they allowed me to stay focused and finish my one hour cardio session without any discomfort. I most definitely will purchase these again in the future.

sound is not great but it works okay. ear plugs are very bulky too.. hard to fit in ear canal

They stay charged for a good 11 hours on a full charge, they made it through my work shift and I am quite happy with them and they actually have nice base and sound and I fooled my bosses into thinking they were regular ear plugs

User friendly and works great for work when you are not a loud blue tooth But cord could be longer to hide the battery packs on the cords

Employer doesn’t allow employees to wear headphones these are great for people who need music and need to wear earplugs last about 8 hours. Ordered 2 pair. Kinda hard to clean but other then that absolutely awesome

This was a very good concept. At first, these were perfect and I was so much happier at work. I think they work a bit TOO good because while it plugs out all the loud noise, my supervisors and co-workers can't talk to me without having to repeat themselves 5 times or having to pull out one or both plugs to hear them. Sometimes I would pull them out, and I think that is how I ran into some issues. These are fragile, and one of the plugs stopped working and stopped playing music and I am pretty sure it is from me yanking it out to hear my supervisors. We aren't allowed to have these on the floor, so in that department (unless your supervisors are super observant), they are well hidden and they are a good length. Just be careful with the product.

For years, I’ve struggled with finding headphones that actually work inside of my full-face motorcycle helmet ... until now. These are without question the only headphones that allow you to hear your music on a bike without having to be so loud that you’re most likely damaging your hearing. Be careful though that you don’t get in the habit of having the volume too loud. Don’t adjust it based on feel. Set a maximum number of bars on your volume setting and don’t go above it. I recommend adjusting the volume before your ride. As these headphones go into the ear, they can also be dangerous to your hearing. I would say that I wear these on my bike sans music as often as with. They still provide much needed decibel reduction from damaging wind roar, and if I get a critical notification on my phone for work, I know to pull over and deal with it. In addition, these are the only headphones I’ve been able to wear while running. Every other pair I’ve ever had fall out after about 50 feet. The only thing is that it is a little weird to lock out the surrounding noise while you run. It can make you feel a bit like you’re under water. Your foot falls and breathing can get a little loud inside your head, if you know what I mean. But they are still the best exercise headphones I’ve ever had. I will say that I have a couple of caveats, hence the 4 stars and not five. First, they are still fairly cheap headphones. My first pair were the executive style and I loved them. But my arm caught the cord once while jogging and pulled the wires right out of the 3.5 mm jack. I’ve read other reviewers say the same thing happened to them. He next pair I tried I found at a local hardware store and they were the orange and blue construction variety. These were completely different quality than the executive. On this pair, every vibration of the cord was sent directly into my ear drum. I hated them and ripped them to pieces in anger in the middle of a run. ? But then I bought another pair of the executive type and all is well again. So, I am $60 in on these cheap earbuds at this point. But obviously the second pair is my own fault. Stick with the executive style and I think you’ll be pleased. Ultimately, these are a niche little product and probably not for everyone. If you care about protecting your hearing though, and you’re comfortable putting earplugs in, these just might be the best headphones you’ve ever owned. Okay, one final thing I’ll say and warning, this is a little gross. But these headphones keep my ears from getting excessive ear wax buildup. Which means, at first, you’re probably going to see a lot of it come out on your ear buds. But over time this gets better and weirdly, using the earbuds is now how I keep my ears clean. So, be prepared for that. I warned you it was going to be gross.

Great for those whom work in a noisy warehouse environment.... I work 12hr shifts so this is a great way to make it go by... My only issue!!! I seem to always get a short in the wire after the 2 month mark... and in the same area... feeling like an intentionaI flaw; hope not but I do keep buying them “hmm” :/

They do exactly what they're supposed to do, and they do it well. They last about ten hours, which is why I gave it 3 stars for battery life. I am the only person at my workplace that uses these "earplugs" (everyone else uses SparkPlugs) and no one has questioned whether or not these are just earplugs.

I bought these for my husband. He is a welder & spends his entire day under his helment, & I read an article about welders suffering from severe depression due to having no interaction with other people. So I decided he needed some earbuds so he could listen to his audio bible, music,etc..... He said they are great & make his day so much better! Also they are OHSA approved so he doesn't get in trouble. He said the overall quality is great!! Would definitely recommend!

Husband loves, not the best quality, but perfect for what he needs
