Product Reviews

Bought these to wear under my bike helmet and they do a fair job of noise cancellation and the sound is average but they are primarily for noise reduction and for music as a secondary consideration and in this context they do an admirable job. Recommended.

The rolls Royce of ear plugs. It comes with 2 sets of ear plugs, one for full protection with interchangeable comfortable plugs and one that filters out partial noise for concerts. Brilliant! Everything is as shown on box, no need to cut down more trees for a piece of paper with instructions. It's not hard to figure out the strap is for attaching to the plugs so you don't lose them. And a little pouch to keep everything in.

When I first got these I was not impressed with the sound. It sounded kind of muffled and not very loud but after looking at them I noticed that the speaker was partially blocked by the ear plugs part. The end of the speaker was about 1/8" from the end of the ear plugs and it would close up on the speaker when in use Trimmed the back of the ear plugs to allow the speaker to sit further in to the ear plugs and now the sound great. Would of given 5 stars but I had to do the work that should be done before I got them. You know I had to earn my gold star for the day too.

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

the noise reduction was very good, the fit was good and the sound was also very good, buy after about 3 or 4 applications when I tried to remove them the right ear foam piece stayed in my ear and had to be removed by someone else because I couldn't get a grip on it. They should have lasted longer than that.

Looks like your wearing ear plugs instead of ear buds volume is low but are great for work if you can't wear ear buds. battery life is about 6 hour. A little pricey but does what it says

These earbuds are good and blend in well as ear plugs, but it is high treble and not much bass. No problems with them otherwise.

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 ordered this product since it comes with both full protection and high fidelity earplugs. I need full ear protection when I operate machinery. I also need partial ear protection when I operate a lawnmower or chainsaw but still be aware of my surroundings. Both pairs of earplugs work pretty well for me. These earplugs are comfortable to wear and stay put pretty well. They come with interchangeable silicone and foam tips. I like the fact that they come with an anti-drop cord which you can use to keep the earplugs over your neck when not wearing them, which is very convenient and one of the deciding factors for me. A little soft pouch with carabiner is provided for storage and travel as well. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these earplugs. You get both full and partial ear protection pairs for under $35, which is a pretty good value in my book. The reason I knocked a star off is the lack of instructions. It took me some trial and error to figure out how to get the right protection out of them. Other than that, they get the job done.

If you need tunes where you shouldn’t have them (you know who you are) and want the exact look of “ear plugs” with the bonus of having them as well as your tunes....then this is your product. There is plenty of cord length to run down the back of your shirt to conceal that extra length. I only dinged this product by the loss of one star due to having experienced high end Bluetooth earbuds. But honestly for what you are getting it is a nice sound quality. I recommend the Bluetooth adapter which can be plugged into them to work with iPhone whom doesn’t have a headphone jack.

Sound is good, they don't cancel out the sound as good as a normal ear plug, but they will help cut down on shop noise. My personal experience is to buy a Bluetooth receiver on Amazon for $10 and plug the ear buds into it. They are stealthy and do not have all the extra addons so they look like legit chorded ear plugs.

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.

I'm not allowed to wear buds that stream music. As the buds visibly blink advertising that they are connected I was told to remove them. No use to me if I can't use them at work. Take away the flashing light and I'd buy them again

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 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.

The sound quality isn’t very good for the money but they are what I was looking for. I used them last night at work for around 6 hours and there is still over half battery life left and nobody even noticed I was listening to music.

I love these things. I listen to music or podcasts all day while I'm at work. If the supervisor sees me, he just thinks I'm wearing earplugs. As other reviews have pointed out, they're not the most durable pair of headphones. My first pair lasted about 3 months and I quickly ordered a new pair. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to be using these 30-40 hours every week, they're worth every penny even if they do wear out. They make the work day go by faster and help you keep your sanity while doing boring and repetitive tasks. I'm glad they exist. I was actually pondering how I could make a pair of my own before I googled and saw that somebody already makes them. I recommend getting a little bluetooth receiver to stick in your back pocket and running the cord underneath your shirt. Helps keep it discreet, and you can quickly whip out your phone if you want to skip to another track, etc. and not have to worry about being tethered to a line.

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

When they're fully charged they last me a full 8+ hour shift and still have a little charge to start the next day. They take about 30-40 minutes to fully charge. They stay in my ears well. My only complaint is how long the wire is connecting both ear buds.

The only complaint is the battery low notification is way too frequent, tell me it's low once and I got it, no need to keep saying it every thirty seconds until they die. And the voice notification saying the battery is low is way too long, chime once or twice instead god its so annoying.

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!

I was always trying to get the best speakers and stealthy comm systems in my helmets, these days are over. I can wear any helmet I like with good sound quality and of course prevent hearing loss due to the protection. Normal earbuds don't offer the protection, and are a real pain trying to stay put when putting on your helmet. I ride a noisy Harley now, and ear protection has become a real must have. Actually every motorcyclist should wear protection, the wind noise only will screw up your hearing. I love them, give them a try I would say.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Good little look-alikes! Used these at my workplace to inconspicuously listen to music. I would use these and run the cord down my shirt to a Bluetooth dongle with a clip that I could clip to my pants. I wear longer shirts to make sure the dongle is covered as I work. Used these for several years, only a really close co-worker has found out when they went to mess with my earplugs. My main complaint is that they’re kind of hard to grip by the base when they’re in my ears. It makes me want to pull them out by the cord, which broke my first set. They made my ears a bit sore using them at first, but I got used to them. Went through 6-8 pairs using them 9 hours a day/5 days a week for about 4 years. Pretty good product overall.

Love the headphones wished the battery life was more . Usually have to recharge during my 10 in half shift.

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.

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!

You get what you pay for. You shouldn’t expect brand name sound quality out of them but has the perfect volume in my opinion. I work in loud areas and it blocks the sound pretty good. Hard to hear what your listening to in very loud areas. Battery is surprisingly good. I haven’t had any BT connection issues at all.

I use all the time. I really love it.

I got these for low profile listening at work where plugs are required and buds are not allowed on the floor. So far so good. No one has noticed or said anything. If this is the use case you are looking for, these will probably work. You should know that 1. There is a yoke where the left and right "cords" join. This looks like what it is and would be obvious to anyone looking for shenanigans. 2. The cord is much much longer than any earplug cords ive ever seen. So as long as you can keep that from being seen, bobs your uncle. As to the sound quality, gotta say its really not bad. I have a pair of basic skullcandy buds that sound about the same and cost similar. So the price is about right for the sound quality. The bonus with these is that they retain a Noise Reduction Rating, which basically functions as noise cancellation, just passive and not active. Its pretty good about as good as the work supplied earplugs. Cant really complain for the most part. The build quality does feel about like it should for sub $20 earbuds. That is to say that its not top notch material, and its not gonna be a product sith a life span in years if its used regularly. At the price if i have to buy them 2 or three times a year because im rough on them, then to be able to have something to listen to 12 hrs a day, thats worth the price. This is one of their basic sets, they have higher quality ones with better build for a higher price but they dont really qualify as low profile as much as these do. Comfort, They are really comfortable. I work 12 hrs wearing them and they dont really bother my ears much. They are really soft. Theres a tendency to try to screw them in or twist them when inserting, I reccomend against this, it will drive them in but they tend to work their way back out some when you do it, which reduces the ear protection they offer. I dont want to damage my hearing, i just want music or talk during my otherwise overhelmingly noisy and boring day. They will pull out pretty easy if snagged or tugged on, so keep cord management in mind. Great purchase for the reason i got them. I turn the volume down really low, still hear about as much as i could with regular earplugs in and still have ear protection. Ticks all the boxes.

I use this product at work to listen to music and get in lectures from my college courses. They fool our safety guy all the time he just thinks they’re earplugs and that’s what I bought them for

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

I bought a pair of these back in 2016 or 2017 and loved them. I drive a forklift in a factory and the little paper that comes with them rate them for 26 Decibels. OSHA fined my company for a noise violation in 2018 and we were required to build sound proof (resistant) walls around certain machinary to knock the noise pollution down and we were required to were earbuds AND ear muffs as well until the walls were produced. I only ever wore these headphones and I couldn't ear much of anything. They for sure work well. The audio quality that comes through is clear and great quality. As far as the durability goes, I get them caught on the forklift straps and controls fairly often and get them ripped out of my ears and I just ordered a second pair of these a few days ago. They last for ever. Mine finally gave out after a little over 3 years right around where you plug it into the phone jack. More than likely where I sit on that portion of the wire and rub it constantly where im getting on and off the truck during 12 hour shifts. I 100% recommend these for anyone who wants a set of noise cancelling headphones. No need to buy $300 head phones to cancel out noise when these work amazing.

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!

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 hook these up to my Sena 10C Evo while riding and my goodness my rides are like night and day prior to this. I have a modular helmet and when wearing plugfones the wind noise is barely noticeable at highway speeds. The silicone piece seems to fit more snug and comfortable to me but it's nice to have multiple options.

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 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.

This is my third pair of these headphones they are good quality for the money you pay and I work in them and I do strenuous work so they do get wear and tear and eventually one of the ears will go out after about three months or so and I just order another pair

At first ears the sound quality isn't what I'm used to. It's pretty flat and clear with no bass but you can't tell them apart from ear plugs so thats a plus at work. They stay in your ear very very well. I've never had a headphone stay in my ear like this. I started using them while riding my motorcycle and I can actually hear the music over my loud exhaust. And I don't have to keep repositioning them in my ear at highway speeds.

Love em

I generally can't stand earbud headphones—they never stay in my ears and aren't comfortable—but about a year ago I discovered Koss Plugs, which have memory foam ear inserts and managed not to fall out as a result. I liked those, but the sound quality wasn't great and eventually they physically wore out and needed to be replaced. I looked around and found these, which are slightly more expensive than the Plugs were, but were well reviewed and had a few features that the Plugs don't: the jack lead isn't angled, so it fits nicely through my iPhone case, there's an inline volume and pause control as well as a microphone (which I've actually never used, so I can't comment on its quality), and they function as real earplugs with a distinct reduction in ambient noise. I spend about an hour every day listening to music on a bus; buses are not known for being the quietest of places, and when I have these headphones in—even with no music playing—my environment is noticeably quieter and much more pleasant for that, and as headphones these sound pretty nice, with more bass than I've come to expect from small drivers. Additional points for unexpected durability: I accidentally washed these headphones once and they still sound fine. My only complaint with them is that besides the microphone there's no obvious indication of left/right, so I actually swapped my left plug with a different colored spare. You can tell which side is which for sure by looking at an embossed marking on the driver, but that's difficult in poor lighting conditions.

Great sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation, extended battery life. I charge them over night and they last through my whole entire 10 hr shift of straight podcasts lol.

I'm on my second pair of these, and I wanted to wait to see how they held up to write a review. I love these headphones. I am a proffesional woodworker, and spend my day surrounded by noisy equipment, these things block virtually everything out, even annoying coworkers at the right volume(just kidding guys, but they do work that well!). The first pair, the wire eventually pulled out after almost 4 months of use. Which isn't bad considering the amount of use they got. With the second pair, the first thing I did was put a tiny drop of CA glue where the wire meets the case, and this at least seems to help, in fact it works so well, that the wire insulation is now pulling off the wires, but the phones still work. I will caution the new user to take it easy when removing these phones, and do not yank on the wires, or you will be sorely disappointed with the results. I also use them when riding my motorcycle. I will caution you all, however that they work well enough to require you to be hyper alert on the road. They will block out traffic. I will buy more of these, and probably even gift them to friends an coworkers. Excellent product.

expensive

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

I read several bad reviews on these but I have had zero problems with them. It's nice being able to listen to things while I'm working, and no one seems to know the difference between these and the disposable plugs! I'd say they are worth the money. Sounds quality is as good as some name brand earbuds I've used. Just make sure the speaker is well inserted in the earplug body and they're great.

These are awesome. If you have a job that requires you to wear ear plugs but you want to listen to music or whatever. This is it. After 6 months in a brutal environment they still work great. The sound quality is not horrible. It lacks bass mostly. Otherwise it's loud enough to hear over loud machines. The battery life is absolutely incredible. Everyday I get 10 straight hours from a charge. If your looking for sound quality then go buy a $200 Bose or Sony headset. If your trying to enjoy yourself while following rules at work then this is it. Highly recommend.

Great product! Fast delivery

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++++

Nobody can tell these are headphones. they look like regular ear plugs, I bought a little blue tooth adapter for it.

Been using my new fones all day and can’t find anything bad so far. I don’t know what else I would need in earplug/headphones they are load and clear and the mic works great! I love that I can change volume and skip songs or pause play answer calls. All in all great product.

I had reservations about spending the money on earphones. Conveniently, they arrived a few days before the blizzard that just hit the Northeast. They worked great while I was using my snowblower and I was able to actually hear my music over the machine which was a nice change of pace from my current buds. The sound quality is outstanding in my opinion. Final note; I always have had a hard time with ear buds staying in my ear. My left ear, for whatever reason, the bud has always fallen out. Not with these which alone is worth the price. Absolutely would purchase again!

They work pretty well, the audio fidelity is reasonable enough, they aren't going to compete with a set of Klipsch S4s etc, but they are acceptable. The noise isolation is pretty solid too, I use the 'tree' ends as they seal better for me. I use these on a motorcycle and they drop enough noise to be useful. They are well clear of the helmet liner as well as they go pretty far into the ear. The one nitpick is that they are hard to grip to remove from my ears and I wind up tugging on the cords at times, which will not end well at some point. Mine are also not labeled L/R which is kind of annoying.

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.

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.

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

I had bought the plugfones guardian ear buds at a local hardware store and loved them. One side stopped working after about 9 months and I bought another pair and one side went out after about 9 months. Then I bought the basic ones because I never use the foam plugs just the silicone plugs and it was cheaper. The sound quality is good but not as good as the guardians but they have lasted over a year and are still going strong.

They work pretty good. My biggest complaint is the noise cancellation. I work in a loud factory and when I have these in I can't hear people right next to me talking to me, but can hear the radio playing from across the giant building I'm working in, weird. The sound quality isn't terrible but is a little lacking in bass. As far as battery life goes it works good for an 8 to 10 hour shift no issues, but once it says battery is low it shuts off a couple minutes later and says it still has 20% battery life left.

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.

Used for the first time on a noisy factory floor. Kept the sound to a reasonable level and allowed me to hear notifications and voice messages.

Works as expected. I wear them when I ride my motorcycle. At highway speeds really can't hear music very well, though. These are better than skull candy which do not block out as much noise and do not stay in my ears as well as the plugfones while wearing my helmet on the bike. Sound quality is only so-so but adequate with iPhone set to small speakers. With gloves on the buttons on the controller are not that easy to activate. Would like left and right indicators on the earpieces.

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.

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.

Sound quality isn't the best for $50 earbud but you know why you want to buy these. I talked to my manager with these on and he just assumed they where standard Earplugs. And That is the whole point of these, Honestly these make my 12 hour shift feel like 10 hours because of all the audio books I listen to. They last for about 10 hours but I also have an External Battery Pack it use to charge these some more over lunch to get me another 1.5 to 2 hours. TAKE GOOD CARE OF THESE, trust me. If you do long shifts or listen to machine noise all day long these are a blessing.

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

these new plugfones are great. my first generation ones had plug problems after about two weeks. these are awesome..the only complaint is that I had to glue the ear bud part on as they kept falling off. And it would be awesome if they came with more than two sets of buds. working in the oil refining industry we see a lot of dirt, grime and chemicals get on our equipment, proper cleaning on a regular basis is necessary. but it would be nice to have a couple sets to swap out too when they get too dirty. but all in all, im very satisfied.

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.

Husband works in a factory and uses these daily! It's been a year now and they still work great 👍

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

I got these minutes before I went on a ride and decided I'd have to love em or hate em for two hours. Packaging is easy open and they have a wire tie holding them together. Putting them in is easy, especially because I have some 3m silicone plugs myself. These are actually easier to get in and out. I haven't tried the foamy yet. Over all the comfort is an 8 of 10 (flanges). I can tell they're in, and maybe one wasn't seated well, so it gave me the slightest inclination that it may be digging in, but it never did, and I had no stinging sensation upon removing them characteristic of the flanges digging in. I would wear these everyday without worry about comfort. . The helmet didn't affect the plugs at all. The sound is surprisingly excellent. 7 of 10. It's not Bose Quietcomfort 20i but I could hear my music and every note and lyric, no matter my speed or wind, and it was blustery on my ride. I listen to a lot of EDM and even the bass delivery was respectable for being plugs. I ride a liter bike with stock exhaust and a full helmet I will definitely purchase some replacement flanges or foamies once I try both and decide, but I love these things. Short of a 200 dollar pair of earplugs, these will work just fine. UPDATE: After a couple months I've decided I really like the foamy plugs better (10 of 10 comfort). They seal better and are extremely comfortable. The digging I was scared of ended up being just that. A bit of digging in the left ear. Not a huge deal, but enough that I decided to only reorder foamies. (probably more my ear shape than a universal issue.) I keep the flanges though, as back up. The foamies last a while, too. I'm running this first set ragged waiting on the replacements, but they still seat and stay without any issue. I really can't stress that for what you pay and what they do, the sound on these is really good. I wont ride without these at this point, even without music playing. They are excellent at just dulling the wind and engine noise and make the ride down right quiet and relaxing.

These are great

They don't block outside noise as much as I was hoping the would. 9/8/16 Update: I just wanted to say that I have found using the silicone covers provide a little more noise cancelling than I first thought. However, I have to really push them into the ear canal to achieve the tight fit necessary for maximum noise blocking. I find the silicone covers to be more comfortable than the foam covers as well. If you aren't comfortable really shoving these things into your ear canal, you might not achieve the seal needed to block outside noise. I still hear outside noise (TV in the next room), but it blocks out enough unwanted noise that I can concentrate on what I am listening to. But, be careful with these because they are a little delicate. The wires are thin and you don't want to pull them out by the wires. Grab the earphone itself for removal.

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.

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 work in a warehouse and I have to wear safety earplugs. There work perfectly for listening to music Or audio books and podcasts wile bring low key. I even had a full conversation with my supervisor and he didn’t notice .. that’s the best part

If you're buying these for super great fidelity, you don't understand what you really want here. These are so you can listen to music while you do loud stuff, like riding a motorcycle on the highway. And they work superbly for that. But if you're thinking you'll replace a good quality set of earbuds with these, no. They're a little muddy in the sound quality department. But they do exactly what I want - give me a nice, low-volume music option while protecting my hearing from external noise.

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.

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".

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!

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

Finding these were a game changer for motorcycling. I ride daily and need ear protection, but like music as well. I got the original basic version 3 years ago and wear them every day. However, there are some significant issues that leave me searching for a better option: - first of all, with the silicone tips, these sound like absolute garbage, and barely block out any noise. Then, with the spiral foam tips, they are kind of better. When they shine, though, is with the OG, FULL SIZE foam tips that for some stupid reason Plugfones stopped making. Maybe I have wide ear canals, but these are literally the ONLY tips that make these headphones work. Absolute trash without them. PLEASE BRING THESE TIPS BACK. I got a replacement 5 pack a couple years ago and have been carefully working my way though them (the deteriorate after a year). Once they are worn out, I will literally just throw these headphones away - they are the only thing that makes them work well. - Second, they do break after awhile. I treat mine well, but after <1, each of my 3 pairs has stopped working. Not a huge deal, I buy another set since it's worth it to me - third, and this has become a huge issue: the volume adjuster has a mind of its own. It will frequently randomly turn my volume all the way up, or down. Ive had this happen on different phones, and with iphone dongles. THis is not from accidentally pressing the volume buttons. It's something internal causing this. I will have to buy another set of the basic version to avoid this, my current pair has become unusable now. That being said, when these things have the better foam, and aren't acting up, or breaking.. they are the best purchase I've ever made for my motorcycle gear. Makes riding infinitely more enjoyable.

I work long work shifts, standing, listening to the constant, repetitive THUMP THUMP HISSSSSS THUMP of the machine…. Not sure why jobs have a vendetta against just having ANY kind of music playing on a radio (one job I had did this, production was great- when they took them out because some nut changed the station), it’s been downhill since. Now these earbuds aren’t bass heavy (very tinny) but heck it’s WAY BETTER than hearing the machine or yapping coworkers talk about how many kids they have or their questionable rap career. They look just like the job issued freebies. If there was to be an improvement to the design, I would say where the two buds connect, they could’ve made a faux clip, making it look like you have these clipped to your shirt. As is they just “disappear” into my shirt. Also you can still hear alarms, and such as you would with regular ear protection earbuds. And these do protect your ears from loud sounds irregardless.

I can hear people talking and shoot guns without damaging my hearing tooth works well

Espero que me dure la carga la verdad se conectan súper fácil y tienen buena calidad 🤩

These earbuds are great for work. I work in a tire manufacturing plant and use aftershock titanium bluetooth headphones which are an approved item by the safety department. Occasionally I forget to bring my headphones and I'm so used to having music while I work that it totally throws me off. I bought these plug phones because they look like earplugs, but it was a pain because they had to be plugged into my phone. Recently I washed and dried them mistakenly for the second time which damaged them beyond repair. I was pleasantly surprised. Especially by the overall sound quality. This item is made well. I bought two more pair so I have a set at home and I keep a set in the bag that I carry to and from work for the rare times that I forget my headphones. I was also introduced to a bluetooth transmitter which I can plug my plug phones into, clip the transmitter to my belt and enjoy Wireless music because the transmitter turns them into bluetooth headphones. The transmitter has volume, skip forward and back controls. I most definitely recommend these plugfones alone or in conjunction with the bluetooth transmitter. Unpackaging was quick and effortless. Buy this item knowing that they work well... Just don't dry them in the dryer. ?

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

this is my second plugfones - i use them during the night as i listen to books or watch movies, i have also used when doing yard work. My first set lasted about 8 years

Bought these headphone because I work construction. The noise at work causes headaches and non stop ringing. Heard about them on Facebook and thought I’d try them out. Wow was I blown away. Great sound and comfortable.

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.

These are surprisingly great headphones. I bought these to replace my motorcycle helmet speakers and wear while riding my motorcycle. I ride a GSXR 750 with an aftermarket full exhaust system and with these headphones I can barely hear it. The sound quality is also pretty amazing. They pack a nice amount of bass and you can actually hear the music. Oh, I also have a modular helmet that has a lot of wind noise while riding and these eliminate all that noise. I will probably never buy another set of helmet speakers after riding with these.

Absolutely brilliant. I use them while motorcycling and they easily stay in place while putting helmet on/off. It fits and seals as well as a foam type earplug but easier to get into position as it's sturdy enough to push into position. Surprisingly good bass response as well.

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.

I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals once in a while. The first time I went to a festival in Germany, I brought my army issued ear protection just in case. I’m glad I did. Every performance is different at a festival. Some bands have things set up all crazy where you’re in a cramped space with giant bass speakers that drown out the entire song and ruin the experience. Not only does it sound bad but it hurts the ears too. This was a band I really enjoyed on Spotify but hearing them live I thought I’d get hearing damage, even with basic cheapo ear protection. I got Plugfones because I’m getting back into live music now that restrictions are going away. Plugfones are actual earplug earphones, which is what you want when it comes to hearing protection. OSHA compliance and an NRR 22 safety rating give me the confidence that my hearing will be safe in those cramped venues where even if you’re in the back your hearing isn’t safe. And if there’s ever a band I’m crazy about playing and it’s all bass drowning out the melody, now I can sync up that same song on Bluetooth and enjoy watching the band upfront and live.

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

I was really impressed by this. As long as you insert foam correctly in the ear. They sound great ! for only this Price 5 Stars! i Love headphones i spend money on Beats, Bose, ect. Of course they do not sound like expensive headphones but they do not sound distorted and they do not stay behind in my opinion.. Great Product . 5 Stars

Sound is very good and interface works incredibly well. I was hoping to be able to use them with my motorcycle but I wear a half shell helmet and don't have a windscreen so after 45-50 MPH the sound can barely be heard. With a windscreen and/or a full face helmet I expect the sound would be good. They are great for working around the house though.

They work excellent

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.

These are nice. They're not made any better than a normal pair of headphones. Where I work these are no issue. Not very discreet, they have a black Mic Box (dumb). The foam tips didnt work at all. You really gotta work them in, might hurt a little but it's worth it.

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.

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.

Good protection and They will never tell the difference 🙂

I bought these headphones for riding motorcycle and mowing lawn. They work great for that for sure. I do wish that they blocked out a bit more sound. I am currently using the ear plug tips and do get a good seal.

Updated... I work in cold temps so I bought a Bluetooth device like TaoTronics Bluetooth AUX Adapter. sewed all in a cap and Bluetooth from a Samsung s5 256gb sd card 20000 songs. Phone ebay $50, and the rest @ $20 inexpensive for a great pc, High powered mp3 player you get from this setup. I don't use this as a phone except Wi-Fi app. Great setup. OLD review follows now- I love these. I did have a problem with the connector shorting out. My fault technically because I move around a lot. But cable build quality is not good. Only if they could make a nylon sheath around cable, this would be the product. Good bass and plugs are comfortable.

First pair we bought was great until they stopped working (washed them multiple times in pockets). The identical pair we bought to replace them worked for exactly 30 days, no rough handling of the headphones or anything. On day 31, one earbud stopped working. 30 day return window. Edited to add: company made it right, and is sending a replacement under their warranty window.

I have finally found a pair of earbuds that will stay in my ears. I have tried so many prices ranging from inexpensive to very expensive nothing has worked until I found the Plugphones Sovereign. Finally!

I work in a factory where we are required to wear earplugs. I got these as a way to entertain myself during my mind-numbing job. I don't have to have the volume on my ipod up very loud to clearly hear the music and I'm able to hear any announcements over the intercom as well. My only issue is that only one side of the ear phones work so I'm not sure if the wires got jiggled or what the issue is exactly. I thought they were both working when I first started using them but as long as I can hear the music playing it is much better than the normal ear plugs I had before. They do seem to do both, serve as earphones and block out the noise. I recommend these for any industrial environment that requires its employees to wear ear plugs, they are worth the money.

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 dislike is the cord didn't last long

Everything about these are great! I use these on my motorcycle to listen to GPS directions and they work great! A steal at the price!

I use these to listen to music and cancel out noise during long trips on motorcycles. They cancel noise decently well. The music was not super loud with them, but I have a really loud bike, so I can't fault them much for that. It still sounded pretty good.

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!!

I bought these for a Christmas gift and my son-in-law used them at work several times and just recently told me the one side stopped any sound coming out of it. Now, I know I only paid $35 for them but honestly, don’t you think they could have lasted a year? I DONT recommend these at all ....a waste of money! I suggest paying $220 on a set that’s made by a Better company!

Work great, would buy again Good sound and block out more outside noise than my protective ear muffs. Core is a bit cumbersome, but just dropping it inside my shirt work.

Let me start by saying, I've purchased MANY earbuds over the years and I've hated every one of them. For whatever reason, they've never fit right. They would either fall out or I couldn't hear the music very well because they didn't fit, no matter what I did. Because earbuds would be so convenient, I decided to give these a shot. After all, they're a little different than typical earbuds. I almost can't believe it, they're perfect for me. 1. I prefer the rubber tip over the foam but they're both good. 2. They come with a convenient (small) carrying case. 3. The sound quality is equal to any decent earbud style headphones. In my case it's infinitely better because I can actually use them and hear the music. 4. Since they're made just like normal ear plugs, they do a great job cancelling outside noise. If you like to listen to music while you mow the lawn, these are the headphones for you. I can't speak to their durability as I haven't had them long. If any problems arise I will edit this review. Overall, I seriously couldn't be happier. Even if they don't last long, I'll just buy another pair. They're that perfect for me. The bluetooth version would be even better but I just couldn't spend the 100$ on them. Instead, I use the bluetooth device I plug into the stereo in my truck. Simply plug the headphones into the bluetooth thing (I can't recall the name), and pair to it. There you go, instant bluetooth headphones.

I have two motorcycle helmets, a Nolan N104 and a Schuberth C3 pro. I use a Sena 20s on both, the Nolan was so damn loud at 70mph, I could barely hear anything. The C3pro is quietest helmet made, with Plugphones my Nolan is quieter and I can hear everything at 80mph. I now pulled the speakers out of the C3P and went with plug phones for that helmet as well. When putting them in my ears, I wet the plug phones with my finger and no need to compress them, they slide right in! They Don't have the bass some other earbuds do, but in noisy environments, the price is right and you won't do much better than these.

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

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.

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.

Me parece que el sonido es excelente y el precio no es tan caro para la buena calidad que son

My husband uses these at work. He works in a factory and loves having these in everyday while he's working.. His bosses just think that he's wearing protective ear gear, They don't even know that these are actually headphones as well as the ear gear that is required!!!

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.

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

Very good

So far they’re working.

Absolutely fabulous. This product, with it's discrete, earplug-like appearance, has assisted me in maintaining my sanity at the overwhelming, laborious, monotonous factory job.-In which I unfortunately spend anywhere from 50-70 hours each week, often going without a day off for many fortnights. Thanks to this product, I am now able to stimulate my brain with important information via 'NPR' podcasts, fill my heart with laughter from the greatest comedians, and most importantly, fuel my soul with the power of music. As for the product itself, I am happy to report that the quality of the headphones has been beyond satisfactory. I have had this product for roughly 6 weeks, and have inadvertently ripped the auxiliary from my phone in the roughest of fashions many a time without compromising the wires/causing a short. As a musician I have been through headphones quicker than underpants, and these have outlived every set of earbuds. My only complaint is that the foam plugs collect dirt quicker than a colony of ants devour a gumdrop. This almost destroyed me. The bright yellow plastic piece on the inside, flush against the dirt encrusted foam, could have easily blown my plug disguise in an instant if someone had paid remote attention to my ears. Thank goodness no one did such a thing! Once I returned to my humble abode, I removed such foam plugs immediately! Thus replacing them with its rubber plug counterpart. The rubber plug has not a single blemish of grime after nearly one month of daily usage....BBBUUUUTTTTT...The sound quality has deteriorated immensely! In attempts to fit them into my ears as properly as possible, I noticed a bit of pain resonating from my ear drum. Seems as though they cause my ears to become more sensitive, while canceling out much less noise than its foam associate. The quality of the bass has been cut in half-if not more, which makes it difficult for me to truly enjoy my music without the full sound experience I am entitled to receive. Sometimes they make my ears sweat too, causing severe discomfort. I think the plug covers should be sold separately.

If i could give this product 6 stars I would. The volume can go so high it HURTS, far louder than any of my other earbuds. They do work as normal ear plugs without music playing. But, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the buttons and battery are far enough down the wire i can easily hide them in my T-shirt! My supervisor can suck a ****!

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.

battery lasts 12 hrs

This is a good set of earphones for working in areas where earplugs are required. I wear mine at my desk and pair it with my phone. When I am in the production areas, no phone, I already have these available foe hearing protection.

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

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

I purchased these to use on my motorcycle to both block road noise and allow me to listen to music. Based on the price I didn't expect great sound quality. Still, I want to leave an honest review. They get 4 stars for the price and they are what they are advertised. Still, sound quality simply isn't there and the road noise still over powers them. They are very comfortable and for other applications I am sure they would be great. For a full face motorcycle helmet and an android phone my experience was not exactly what i would want. For my woodworking stuff and to keep around for other projects they are ideal.

Surprisingly good sound quality.

These are loud and clear. Look just like the ear plugs at work so i can run the cord down the back of my shirt and nobody knows the difference. The cord is really long though so i had to tuck it in my jeans so nobody can see it. Haha

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

Cancels noice at full volume but also blows your hearing after. A little over medium volume and should be able to hear your songs and a forklift horn. So pretty good for what I needed.

Update: did receive a replacement unit, and it works great battery last full 12 hours if volume is at between 50 and 75% which is really good audio. Would recomend ordering replacement plugs because they get dirty really fast, after sone time worn out ear plugs do affect sound so it is best if they are replaced periodically. Battery drains very fast even after charging it all day, last around 6 hours, sound quaility is decent but battery is horrible will be returning

Works perfectly! Fast shipping

Better than expected, great product, excellent value. Had me 2 of these when they only came in the 8 hour life and those were good, working 12 hr shifts these Plugfones Liberate is the real deal come to battery life. Had been a customer and still comeing back; great product guys!!

Only plugs I've found that I can wear inside my motorcycle helmet without hurting my ears or spending hundreds for custom plugs.

Hearing protection is required at my work. And to have a product that both protects my hearing and provides my personal music is incredible!!! The only reason I gave 3 stars on Durability/Material was because I just received the product today. After work. The test will be tomorrow and then on out. The sound is amazing! For $25! Normally I would expect no low frequencies (bass) from earbuds this small. Ha! Not these bad boys! Excellent tonal range! If your job requires or is aided by hearing protection; this will be the best $25 you'll ever spend!!!!!! Just use common sense when handling these ear plugs! Don't pull from the wires! Either on the plugs themselves or the jack. They'll short eventually! Get your money out of them and rock it out at work!!!😁😁😁

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.

Left ear bud don’t work ! First pair I bought work great for the 5 months I had them ! 2nd pair trash 🙄

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.

Bought for motorcycle use. Its only been a few weeks. But so far they work great. Alot more bass then i expected. My only minor complaint is the wire connecting them together is rather long. The battery is good. They are comfortable. They fit under my full face helmet, without popping out of my ears when i put helmet on. The wind and engine noise are muted like traditional earplugs. The sound is loud and pretty darn good.

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!

I use these when I'm mowing, weed-eating, trimming hedges, etc. I hate the noise from the them, so I like to listen to music while doing yard work. A lot of other earbuds won't stay in my ears, particularly if I've been sweating a good bit. These stay put and help greatly to dull the noise of the machines I'm using. Very happy with them!

My job recently cracked down on phones and electronics on the floor we work 12 hours and 60 hourss a week. That being said it gets monotonous listening to the machines or your coworker talk about getting drunk or past times getting drunk at first we used earmuffs with AirPods under but one idiot got caught and their now checking everyone with earmuffs on so a friend recommended these and they are great I have been in front of the plant manager and had a full conversation without being noticed all you need is a good pullover and boom their regular ear plugs. Those of you whining about quality or having to buy an adapter get over it and be thankful we have this product in the first place can't tell you how much I appreciate this product good luck stealth listeners.

As plain-old earbuds, these rock. Having started to develop tinnitus, I've started being extremely cautious with my hearing and these allow me to listen to my music and hear the sound very clearly at even the absolute lowest volume. They do a really good job at blocking out mild to moderate noise; however, I hate to say that these did not meet my expectations for louder noises. My work involves me riding around on an old mower for hours on end. I suspect there's something wrong with the muffler, because it is incredibly loud. Before purchasing this product, I would simultaneously wear both foam earplugs (rated at 30 NRR) and an old pair of earmuffs (current NRR unknown) to reduce the noise to a comfortable level. I expected the foam plugfones (rated here at 29 NRR) to perform comparably underneath my earmuffs, but they did not block out nearly as much noise as I expected them to. Fortunately, they still work really well at taking the edge off of some of the quieter, but still obnoxious tools, such as the hammer drill, vacuum, or orbital sander. Furthermore, as I previously stated, they're still a really great pair of earbuds in quiet environments where ambient noise might block out some music at extremely low volumes. My only measurable complaint with this product is that the jack is "loose" in my music player. It's not physically noticeable, but I'll be listening to my music and all of a sudden I'll only have sound in one ear. Giving the jack a twist or a bit of a wiggle alleviates the issue and so far I've only noticed it happening once every listening session (usually between 3-6 hours). I have no regrets with this purchase, but if I were to make it again, I would probably see if I could have better luck with a different, similarly-priced product.

I’ve never been able to watch movies or listen to music on the airplane since I have to have ear plugs in for pressure. These save my ears while allowing me to enjoy music and movies!

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.

These are great! Easy to conceal under collar,hat, shirt if need be. They definitely reduce outside noise when used correctly. Sound quality, battery life are above what I expected. Well worth the money.

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.

I use this on a motorcycle and its great. Even at highway speeds, I can hear the podcasts on my phone at half volume. This also blocks out sound better than the concert ear buds I used previously. 5/5 highly recommend

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 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've been using these for a Solid 5 years now.. it's the only hearing protection you should have in your ears

I am writing this review 6 months after initially buying them June 6th 2017: Good sound quality, has great clean bass and low-end. I ride a fairly loud cruiser-style motorcycle. They block sound very well, even without music playing they greatly reduce the wind noise at high speeds. They even stay snug in my ears on the highway, and fit comfortably in my full faced helmet. A couple of weeks ago, the left earbud started to cut out and now does not work at all. HOWEVER-- I was very rough on them. They whipped around in the wind everyday commuting to work on my bike, had cord jerked out of jack by catching it with my arm or dropping phone, were carelessly thrown into pockets and backpacks where they got tangled all the time, and even got washed and dried in the laundry last fall. So you pretty much just get what you pay for, only $25 and they last 6 months to maybe a year of very hard daily use. If you take care of your things better or just want something to listen to on the bus or subway, who knows they could last a while.

Good swap look-a-like ear plug. Walk around a factory where we cannot wear ear buds but must have a ear plug that is OSHA approved. These gave been noticed by some and I have been reported, but o believe that is my fault for turning them off and on walking out the door at end of shift. Great sound quality and does a better job of canceling out noise than that of their counter part without the ear bud speakers!!! I've been using them for a year and have left them in my work jeans twice in the washer and dry and they work just as well as before.

I wish it came with spare orange replacement covers

Very surprised! They sound great, definitely for the price. Don't expect deep base, but there is some. Very clear and cancels out the noise around you. Low tech that is above a lot of the high tech and costly devices out there. Will update after my next roadtrip on the Harley. Pretty sure I will have good results there too.

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.

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

I bought these headphones to wear beneath my helmet while motorcycling. If you, like me, don't want or can't afford to spend hundreds on a Cardo or Sena unit for your helmet, this is an excellent budget alternative. The audio quality is surprisingly clear, with both treble and bass coming through very distinctly. The earplugs function excellently to filter wind noise, without interfering unduly with ability to maintain situational awareness (hearing horns, sirens, etc). They're quite comfortable, even beneath a helmet, for over an hour at a time. I have found that after about an hour and a half of riding, my ears begin to get a little sore from the pressure, but this is the case with every pair of Bluetooth earbuds I've ever worn. The only downside that I have identified with the product is the fact that when on the road, the very small control buttons are nearly impossible to use while riding, especially if you tuck the body of the headphones into your shirt/jacket. My remedy for this issue was initially to mount my phone to my handlebars, and switch songs or change volume by hand. However, I eventually settled on using a Bluetooth controller (JBL Click) for fully remote, one handed control of the phone, and by extension, the headphones. This solution cost me a total of about $80 for the JBL Click unit and the headphones themselves.

<3 I love these. So far I've had these and use them consecutively for the last six weeks. I cannot openly wear them with the wire hanging out because of the environment I work in, so I tuck them under my clothing while connected to my device in my back pocket. Since I do tuck the wire and I move around a lot, there's a lot of tugging most of the time on the jack which was very problematic with the old model of Plugfones but the sound is still crisp and clear, no signs of damage (yet, anyway). The foam plugs do get dirty pretty easily but other than that I'm very satisfied with the product.

Works great

When I ordered the plug cones I was skeptical from reading past reviews about the sound quality. When I first tried them out at work I was extremely satisfied with the sound quality. Im a bit of an audiophile when it comes to my music. Best part is they look just like regular ear plugs, so the bosses haven't said anything. I love it. Only thing I have negative to say is that the advertised 10hr battery life is closer to 8. But still a good buy.

Have great so far. My only complaint is the noise canceling, but I do work in a factory setting.

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.

Great for what they are, they don't have the best sound quality to me, but work great for what they are intended for. Edit 5/21/2018. The guardian series if very nice spend the extra 5 dollars. The problem I have is they have not lasted more than 3 months. I thought it was from unplugging and plugging in, but I got a Bluetooth receiver and havent unplugged it since. But less than 3 months they just stopped on one side. 1/2020, I got my last pair in July of last year, still love the Guardian sets. Only thing I can think of, maybe thicker connections? But honestly I don't mind 6 months life span because that's the only reason I can tolerate my job... Thanks!!!

My dad and I each buy a pair of these about every 8 months or so. They tend to either start distorting the sound or stop working in one ear after a while. They still work great and are comfortable, which is why we continue to buy. The noise cancelling works so well that one of my friends at college made it a point to sneak up on me in as many creative ways as possible while I was listening to music.

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.

These are awesome. If you have a job that requires you to wear ear plugs but you want to listen to music or whatever. This is it. After 6 months in a brutal environment they still work great. The sound quality is not horrible. It lacks bass mostly. Otherwise it's loud enough to hear over loud machines. The battery life is absolutely incredible. Everyday I get 10 straight hours from a charge. If your looking for sound quality then go buy a $200 Bose or Sony headset. If your trying to enjoy yourself while following rules at work then this is it. Highly recommend.

The plugfones have an excellent sound quality. The only issue I have is that I wish the range was a little further.

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

Honestly I like it, it's strictly focus for work, volume is limited for a reason. If I want it louder, I have other ones I would use. It blocks noise like 80% which is good for me at work. These ones sounded like a record player, which is more clearer than digital player. It's more defined, enough Highs, mids are pretty clear, bass is enough for work. No trouble on pairing, battery is pretty good so far, I did 2x10 hours shift before I get the low battery warning. Ive shortened or coiled the cord to my needs by tapping the excess wires. It doesn't get in my way. Will update when battery performance decreased. At first youll feel pressure in the external auditory canal, but ill forget its in there when busy with work, It does get slippery inside the ears after a while but it doesn't fall out, I had to take it out slowly or it will give that pop noise, which would be bad if it's daily, slowly works better. Still doing more research to understand it better for me. I just think of it as if it was a torque ranch with 200lbs strength, can't use it on a 10lbs nut, it would snap it. Strictly for work. I don't know why these sounded better than the Freereign ones, it more clear, but overall both is good for me at work. Since I have 2, battery isn't daily concern....yet. will update later.

Product looks exactly like the photo. I would give it 5 stars, if not for the battery life. The battery only lasts about 8 hours. I work a 12 hour shift and can't charge them. So they don't fully fulfill their purpose since I can use them for part of my shift.

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.

PROS: Build quality, sound quality, comfort, battery life, ease of use, price. CONS: None OPPORTUNITIES: An app to manage the device with battery-remaining info, sound/equalizer settings, etc. would be a nice addition.

I love these ear plug headphones. However, this is my third pair in a year and a half. I wear them everyday so I get a lot of use, but paying $30 roughly every 6 months is getting old. These earplugs allow me to listen to audiobooks, music, and even TV at work. With amazon prime you can download shows directly to your phone so you can watch them offline later. I have watched HOURS and HOURS of TV with these earplugs. Well mostly listen, but some watching. I bought a Bluetooth receiver and run the plugfone wires down my back inside my shirt with it plugged into my Bluetooth receiver and the receiver in my back pocket so everything is hidden from everyone else. I am an aircraft sheet metal mechanic( I repair airplanes). I actually work harder because I am not goofing off somewhere else and I can work while I listen and glance over at the phone. That's what I enjoy about them but there are some issues I have with them as well. The earplug portion of the plugs are fairly decent at blocking the sound but they are not quite as good as real earplugs. Since the plastic speaker goes deep into the foam, as it must, it makes it difficult to push deep into your ear. My biggest problem with them though would be that I am having to buy new ones every 6 months because one side will short out and quit working or worse start working intermediately. That's a lot of money on earplugs! Like I said though I wear them a lot, 5 days a week, 8 hours or more a day. You have to decide if it is worth it for you. Other than that they sound great and are plenty loud for my shop which can get very loud!

Works great to reduce noise. However the sound quality is rather poor. You also really need to crank up the volume to hear anything around noisy or loud equipment.

Would spend more for a more durable product. But this upgrade is a step in the right direction.

Sound quality isn't the best for $50 earbud but you know why you want to buy these. I talked to my manager with these on and he just assumed they where standard Earplugs. And That is the whole point of these, Honestly these make my 12 hour shift feel like 10 hours because of all the audio books I listen to. They last for about 10 hours but I also have an External Battery Pack it use to charge these some more over lunch to get me another 1.5 to 2 hours. TAKE GOOD CARE OF THESE, trust me. If you do long shifts or listen to machine noise all day long these are a blessing.

I bought these for work so I can listen to music while packing. The look just like the ear plugs we have at work so no one has noticed anything. I believe they are good value for the price. The music isn't the best compared to other earphones, but it does the job and its discrete.

I am a GEneral Contractor and need the ability to have hands free conversations and block out job site noise. These do a great job. This is my 2nd set first one lasted about a year of everyday use which is better than most bluetooth devices in a harsh environment.

After using these for a few days, here are my thoughts. The sound is not amazing, but I knew that from the start by reading other reviews. I work around some fairly loud machinery, so being able to hear my surroundings when I need to is a plus. You have to fiddle with them to get the proper placement as they are just a bit oval in shape, but not much. I also have to put them in pretty far to hear them, depending on what music I'm listening to. The cord should be longer so that the controls and the counterweight will sit about where your breast bone is once you drape them around your neck. As it is, the controls and the weight sit about at my collar bone and sometimes pop out from under my neckline (t-shirt) at times, trying to reveal my secret. I wear one of those elastic face/neck coverings at work, so what I do now is tuck the control and weight inside of that just under my chin. I originally had a set of bluetooth earbuds with a charging case, but the left one died months ago and I just recently lost the right one at work and never found it. I intended to buy another set like that, but most have some kind of flashing light on it when paired or being used, so that won't do. This will work for what you need it for, but at the expense of some minor annoyances like the ones i listed and the need to charge it with a micro usb cable, and the cord of course.

Works great. Everyone at work thinks they are just plain ear plugs, so on sites where head phones aren’t allowed they come in handy. Only complaint is that the colors and battery/controls is a bit long and falls to one side or the other. I have to tie them to my hard hat adjustment knob.

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

I've used this for two days now. In heat, water, and,rough physical conditions. It's holding up well and does everything advertised. Update. Used these daily for months now. These things are durable and quality. Holding up very well and have not degraded in sound of quality of manufacturing. 5 star product

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.

I love these earphones. They are definitely an upgrade from the cheaper version. They sound crisp, the bass is just right. They are fantastic, sound quality wise. BUT, I have to buy a pair every 3 months because I use these every single day. I have a hot, sweaty, constant pace job and that somehow causes one the ear phones to short out, and somehow it seems to be right at 3 months. But still, before that third month hits, they are quality sound earphones that will keep you going all day. Also. The silicone buds are fantastic. The foam buds these come with are horrible. You can easily attach them, but trying to remove them without destroying them is impossible for me. The silicone is all I use. They do make the inside of my ears itchy at times, but nothing major.. Just remove the buds (which is simple with the silicone) and clean them. Just be prepared to buy up to 4 pairs a year. ( I'm about to be on my 3rd this year alone because my second pair just died.)

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.

Headphones work great. Much better sound than the older versions. I'm a welder/pipe fitter and unfortunately I have to do a lot of grinding at my current job. Even when using a 7 inch grinder I can still hear the music but get the benefits of the -25 decibels that the plugs provide. The reason for the four star instead of a five star rating is they could have made the plug that connects your device a little more sturdy. The sheath that covers the 90 degree angled plug was not glued the the wire. I think that this might have mad one side fail. This really needs to be addressed. But for now it's the only way I can listen with headphones at work because headphones are not allowed 😉
