Product Reviews

Great product! Fast delivery

matches my companies color scheme for ear pro. Very happy. We will see if they hold up to the abuse of a steel yard. Good clear sound low or high. It's nice to be able to listen to a podcast or a song and still be able to communicate clearly with coworkers and management. Breaks up the dull monotonous drone work of manual labor.

I originally purchased the wired version of plugfones and was disappointed when they only lasted a month. So obviously I was hesitant to spend the money to try the Bluetooth version but I’m glad I did. I’ve been using them all day, 5-6 days a week for over a year now. Haven’t had any problems with them. Only complaint is the battery doesn’t last as long as they claim, I typically get around 9 hours of use before they die.

expensive

Silences the sound around you very well so you can hear your tunes. Able to be heard at 160mph on motorcycle.

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.

Supervisor has no idea I'm listening to music, sound quality is great

Much better than using earplugs and in helmet speakers if you have a communicator with headphone jack. I have tried many solutions and this is the best. Very durable.

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.

Works perfectly! Fast shipping

It is a much better build than the liberator. The mic is built into the controls which was a major problem with the liberator because it stuck out like a sore thumb for people trying to hide that they are using headphones (also the mic is the first place for the Liberators to fail). Unfortunately the sound quality of these are not as good. The bass is lacking but for people who work in noisy environments, this is really the only choice except for bone conduction headphones which sound even worst than these. They are decent and worth the $50 price. The Liberators are too fragile for the $99, these are much more hearty.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Very good

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

The sound quality is much better than I anticipated. Also, I was afraid that these wouldn’t stay in well since I have very small ear holes, but these stay put wonderfully!

Use these when mowing with my garden tractor. Decent sound and better hearing protection than my $300 custom molded ear monitors

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.

Great sound quality and superb hearing protection. Its just like having earplugs in, and then you can have music or podcasts on while you work.

I am completely satisfied with these. Good enough sound and bass, good volume, great battery life. My favorite bluetooth device to date, as far as work is concerned. I am a self employed carpenter, so holding a phone is a real time suck. The microphone seems to be fairly good at allowing me to keep working, and making noise, while on the phone. Saws and such are still fairly loud on the other end, but tolerable, especially if you are talking to your carpenter buddy! Only possible complaint is it has no clip included to keep it in place. I snarfed one off an old bt device, and keep it clipped to itself below my chin. Works for me... Highly recommend! 53 WEEK UPDATE: So, my left channel cut out at approximately a week after one year. I use them every day. I still like them, and still use them for one ear audio and hearing pro. Disappointed that I could not get them to last longer. My nephew bought a pair upon my recommendation and his died in slightly less time than mine. He also had left channel cut out. I am hesitant to buy another pair, and have to downgrade from 5 stars to 4 because of our shared experience with this product. I would buy another pair in a heartbeat if they came out with a pair that had heavier gauge wire. A nice touch would also be right angle connections at the earbud, to facilitate over ear protection for really loud noise: sometimes the earbuds get pushed on by my earmuffs, which can be quite painful. I still recommend them, I guess 365 or so days of continuous duty is good enough, but the price is a bit tough to swallow.

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

Thank you Plugfones for making these ear plugs. My company I work for recently implemented a no headphone policy, but I skirt under the radar by wearing these. They look just like the earplugs they provide for us. These plugfones are much more durable than the original pair. It seemed like those died after just a few months. But these have a larger gauge cable that is much more durable. But I have had to replace the 2nd gen once because one of the ears stopped working. But it took a lot longer with the 2nd gen for it to fail. I also use these daily in a manufacturing environment.

Great noise cancellation performance on these plugs and great sound quality as well.

I give this product a 4 star, it would be a five, but due to the fact that the plugphone cannot use the big foam earplugs as well due to the fact that there is a speaker, I would love to see if someone in this world can engineer a "Squish able" speaker to put into a plugfone. I originally bought this because I ride a loud bike and I like to go fast, i have a 2004 suzuki GSXR 600, Yes I'm a gixxer lover, but anyways, I conducted several tests on this product before I came to this review, I based them on: Sound (music), Noise cancelation, and comforbility. The music I think in my opinion was just like any headphone out there, good but not amazing to say if you were to spend the money on something that produces bass. Don't get me wrong, I had my bike doing over 100 MPH, and the music sounded great, best part is, I had it turned up 3/4 way because that's all it needed. I've used headphones in the past and they all slid out of my ears under my helmet while riding so I would loose the music, but plugphone stayed in no matter how hard I rode, and the music was even good with my visor up, lots of wind blowing into my helmet and I still only heard a faint sound of my exhaust and the music. Which brings me to the noise cancelation, for this test I had my music turned off to allow it to be Just a regular ear plug. And to my surprise, it worked better then some of the ear plugs I have, at the 100mph test i was able to hear my surroundings and my exhaust perfectly fine but it wasn't loud enough to wear it would be like not wearing any pertection. Which brings me to the last part, comforbility. Most general headphones would come out, any other fellow riders know what I'm talking about, not only did the plugfone stay in, when I went to remove my helmet (Full faced helmet) I do as I always do even when putting it on, I grab the straps, extend them outward to allow more room for my ears. And to my surprise THEY STAYED IN, I was astonished by that, after having them in for 20 minutes, my ears did start to hurt, but that's due to the fact that I pushed them in as far as I could to get best results. But overall, I would recommend this product to other motorcycle riders, the product is fragile just like any other headphone out there, but the thing is the guys and or gals down at plugfone nailed this . 4/5 stars from this greatful customer.

I border on being an "audiophile" so you would never catch me with a $20 pair of ear buds in my ears under normal conditions. Not all conditions are normal, though. I spend a lot of time in places where hearing protection is required and ear buds are frowned upon. Enter Plugfones. The sound quality of this corded product is garbage compared to my usual wireless ear buds. It's a day and night difference, like listening to AM radio versus FM. Some music is so devoid of feeling that I avoid it completely when using these. That's alright with me, though. I'll still rate it five stars because: 1) Having low cost, low quality sound is better than having no sound and 2) This product pulls off the appearance of standard hearing protection PERFECTLY. No one has questioned what I'm wearing. Not even the safety guy at one location who is notorious for stopping and lecturing people over the smallest perceived policy violation. If this product didn't pull off the appearance so well, then I'd have rated them a 1 star on sound quality. Even with the best sound quality in the world, though, they would have been utterly worthless to me if they couldn't pull off the appearance which is required. So, I've swallowed my audiophile pride and rated them solid 5 stars across the board. I'm thankful that this product exists and doesn't draw any unwanted attention. That warrants the high marks.

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.

I ride a motorcycle with very loud exhaust, these plugphones 2.0 works great, noise level is down, and i can hear the music with clarity.

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

Anyone who uses a Sena bluetooth communicator knows that the combination of wind noise in your helmet and earplugs that you are, or should be, wearing, make hearing the Sena a bit difficult. These really go a long way to solving that problem. They connect right into the Sena output port and block wind/road noise, while letting through your music, phone and GPS prompts, etc. It's the best solution I've found so far for the Sena.

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

I feel for the price they wear out fast I’m in my 4th pair

Very good

For the price, I didn't expect much from these headphones, at all. I was pleasantly surprised though. The sound quality is not great, but it's also good enough that after a few minutes of listening you somewhat stop paying attention to the imperfection; I've paid far more for worse sound, without the outside noise reduction. I wear them while I mow, and they work, plain and simple. These could likely be improved with better speaker tech and some additional insulation against outside noise, but they do they job and I would definitely buy them again if I had to do it over again.

For work

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

I mean these aren’t beats or anything but they definitely get the job done and help me through my long shifts at night. No one even questions my ear plugs! One side shorted out a week in but I’m almost 2 months in with them and the one side working actually isn’t bad since I have to hear my work radio anyways

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!

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.

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

I bought these for when I mow. My other earbuds just can't cut it. I hesitated because everybody said that they were not good for small ears. I found that if you work with him a little bit you can get them in tight. Are they as good as earmuffs No, but they are earbuds.... I am now I happily able to ride around on my mower and not miss any podcasts! I'm a happy camper

first they have better prices and deals on the plugfones website. Ok, so these things for the most part are great. i work on a ship in an engine room which requires hearing protection at all times. these things for their price were very clear and good to use. i was so excited to discover that they were clear enough to listen to audio books while standing next to a 4000HP engine. Also i would wear them for relaxing use too. they are essentially and economical sound canceling. both the airplane and the ship these are perfect for tuning out the world. Now they did not last. I wore these things 8hrs/days every day whether listening my ipod or not. after 2 weeks i broke the headphone jack but in its defence i clocked my iphone VERY hard and knew it broke before looking at it and was very hapy to see the headphones broken and not the phone. i solder a new headphone jack to them and they worked great for another week, and one side went out. a week later the other side went out. i took the speakers out of he plugs and one the speaker popped off of the backing and the other the wires pulled out of their solders. i atepmted repair but that was too much for me. Now that said that pair had a sennheiser logo on the headphone jack and these new ones do not so i assume those were older models. Frankly though for the price of 14$ each i am very happy to have got the use out of them i did. I just purchased 3 more pairs. Quick FYI for those Not familiar with silicone PLUGS. I know it sounds gross and at first it is but you get used to it. Lick them before you put them in. If they ever feel uncomfortable take them out lick them and put them back. Otherwise it is like using a condom without lubrication. dont hurt those ears!

These are awesome.

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

They work really well they are loud so you don't have to turn your music or what ever you listen too I like them very much

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 love them! The larger pieces are easily hidden below the collar and go completely undetected... Definitely helps the day go by listening to music and eliminates all the loud machines.. The bonus was when I could hold whole conversations on the phone while working and they could actually hear me regardless of my surroundings! The only things is wish were better was the battery needs a longer life and instead of 1 clip 2 would be better and a better quality clip. Otherwise I'm impressed!

I've tried a dozen different ear speakers for under my helmet. I've tried helmet speakers too. Nothing g worked over the sound of 15 Outlaw Racing Karts screaming on the track. These were the FIRST ear buds that I could hear the flagman!! I bought 2 more pairs in case I break my first ones.. Love them!!!

These aren't for the audiophile but work well for a guy who wants some light hearing protection with tunes. Outside in the wind I seem to get a whistle which is annoying and in the blower room thy aren't quite enough protection (but I can hear the music decent). I guess the do what I want relatively well tfor the price I paid.

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.

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.

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

Absolutely worth the money. I work in a repair shop that is a very hard place for earbuds to be in. These have held up wonderfully for the 9 months I've had them. Great battery life make it through a full shift on a charge and then some. I will definitely buy again when. These finally stop working.

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.

Despite catching the wires on obstructions, and lots of use, these still work very well. My original pair was 2 years old, with a lot of use, and still work just fine. I bought a back up pair, just because they are reasonably priced and I use them so much.

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

I was concerned that my very tight helmet would rip these out when I put it on. No worries. They stay in, they do a good job of playing music while I ride. I don't need to crank the volume up while riding. What I can comfortably hear while standing still works fine while moving on the bike. The helmet actually smashes them more into your ears, so they become slightly louder when worn under your helmet.

excellent

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

These are the best ear phones and also pretty great as ear plugs. Many earbuds don't stay in my ears and they're hard and uncomfortable. These are the only ones that really work for me. I can sleep in them too. It's important to clean them with alcohol after using.

Ok Ive had my pair for almost a year (You purchased this item on April 20, 2018.), still work no damage and Im not gentle with them, I work with heat and welding metal all day long. My only disapproval is is the battery life which states 12, at first it did last up to 15 but over the past years its continuously dropped to around a little less then 8. Also there is this weird noise thats like a cd skipping that happens randomly the only way to clear it is to turn them off and turn them back on and reconnect, on one occasion it wouldnt shut off I have to plug it in to get it to reset but tricking it my charging it for 5 second then start then back up, thats happened once so far. I still have the original ear plugs it came with they have seen better days but over all I use then everyday up to 8 hrs a day and 5 days a week. I cant complain cause they have worked well for me. I keep seeing reviews about they break after a month or even a week, what the hell are you people doing with them? Using them as a rope to swing across caverns. My single complaint is the battery life, and being that its been almost a year Im sure its no longer covered under any warranty

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

My husband loves these!

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

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. ?

These ear plug / ear buds worked great, the safety people thought they were just reusable ear plugs in a place earbuds were forbidden. Well worth the money and they lasted me 5 months until one side started to die. If your just buying cheap earbuds don’t do it but if your getting around safety protocol and trying to stay sane at work they are well worth the money however long they last.

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!!!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Lasted me exactly 346 days. After about 9 months one side started cutting in and out, I was okay with that. But less then a full year into its purchase the whole headset ha seized to play any sound. I'll be ordering ankther pair hoping that this second pair will last longer.

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.

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

So far used these headphones for a few days and they sound clear with a nice bass. Soft earplugs do not bother my ear, like some other headphones I had in the past. Great product...

First things first, of course when you are working and using these on a very regular basis, they will wear out and they will start to break. I dont know why people expect $16 ear buds to last forever even after daily use and being used in work environments. Chances are that if you need ear plugs, you are working in a place that requires physical labor or using machinery and alot of things can happen. I work in a production plant and I bought these headphones to blend in at work and so far, speaking face to face with my supervisor and also the plant manager with these in and music playing, they were both oblivious to their true purpose. I also bought these since they were the cheapest option and i wanted to see if the bluetooth pair would be an investment that id like to take. So far, that answer is yes. These headphones sound great, and with them being 50% “earplugs”, i can use these at low volumes while being able to hear the music clearly with minimal background noise. The materials used for these headphones are nice and silky soft rubber which are super comfortable and can be worn for hours without becoming uncomfortable or irritating. They also come with foam tips, but i havent used them because i feel like they would get dirty very quickly. I use these with the Apekx bluetooth adapter which is also very convenient and sleek, but thats for a different review. These headphones do not have a microphone or volume controller on them, but you get what you pay for. These are basic headphones without any bells and whistles but they are also made of great materials with great sound quality and they do a great job of drowning out the background noise. They come with a convenient carrying case which is good for prolonging the lifespan of these headphones. These were a great purchase and i will be buying the bluetooth pair.

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.

Ordered a second pair the next day, ordered this and the sena headphonea adapters for my full face motorcycle helmet. I previously purchased nonoise ear plugs and they worked well with my sena's for music, but my wife and I couldn't hear each other with intercoms, so I ordered the adapter and a set of these, for our purpose this was perfect. I use the ribbed silicone and am very satisfied. Downside is they really block all noise, you cannot hear outside voices as you would with HiFi earplugs, I haven't tried enabling sidetone, which might satisfy this 'need'

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

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.

Because I'm not supposed to wear headphones at work, I bought these to spoof my boss. Absolutely love 'em! Not the greatest, but as the music/sound acts to cancel out any other sounds. There are now about 10-15 pair out on the shop floor and none the wiser!

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 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.

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

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

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

Have had these for about 2 years since my job has been cracking down on listening to music or podcast while at work. They have decent audio and are well made. The only 2 criticisms I have are that the little black bulge that acts as the microphone is to bulky. Wish it were more incognito, also the wire that is directly connected to the jack is very sensitive. I solved this by wrapping it up with a few stops of duct tape about 1 inch long to make it sturdier so it won break like my intial pair

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

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

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

Recently, my workplace issued a rule that we have to wear ear protection, and we couldn’t listen to music anymore. A few of us figured we should buy some of these and use them. A few notes: They work really well as functioning ear protection, but just as the listing states, sound quality is not the first priority. They sound like $10 earbuds from Walmart, which is fine by me, but some people can’t listen to anything below professional mixing gear. Second, and this is likely just me ‘cuz I have a tad bit of a latex alergy and sensitive skin, but they irritate my skin if I wear them for more than 3 hours. I work 12 hour shifts. Overall, though, the build quality is firm, they do act as both functional headphones AND hearing protection, and the best part is, none of my bosses have realized I’m Still listening to music at work. Well worth the $20 price tag.

Battery life isn't terrible. Sound quality isnt the greatest. They do seem kind of cheap. But for the price, it's a decent deal.

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

They work, but are a little too fat to fit comfortably in my small ear canals. I wear the small size tips on other earbuds. If you wear medium or large you'll be fine.

Blocks out noise like ear plugs, and work like decent ear buds. The package came with a ribbed plastic earplug and a foam set. I drill concrete a lot, and these plugs both protect my hearing, and let me keep in my musical zone. They look professional when you're working, and they're a great alternative to "power boxes" when you're on a site that doesn't allow worksite wide music. The plugs failed at about 5 months, the manufacturer sent me a new set without question. Plugfones are legit as hell.

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

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

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

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

Work well as they should

Good protection and They will never tell the difference 🙂

Excellent noise cancellation you expect from earplugs and I really like the sound quality. They stay in your ear and even with highway speed winds they do not budge. I use them while riding my loud ass harley. The cancellation and speakers work so well together I can't really hear the engine which is what I use to know when to shift, which is a good thing. That was what was going to make me deaf. They aren't Beats but Beats aren't practical for what I use them for. I recommend.

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

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

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

I 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!

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

I use Plugfones for motorcycling and have for at least 5 years. After going through about a set a year of the original Plugfones I finally burned through my supply. I loved the sound quality and fitment on those, but the cords would always pull out from the driver or lose insulation at the Y making at least one not work (and I think causing random button presses on my Packtalk as well). Of course this would always happen in the middle of a long trip, but they were so good it didn't matter. The silicone tips on those were great, and though the driver was a bit big it never interfered with anything. It appears the old version may now be called the "guardian" model and have an increased price. Considering the wind noise and other distractions on a motorcycle I figured sound quality was not as important so I picked up this set this time. As soon as I put them in I could tell there was almost no low-end and very little low-mids. There was a ton of digital noise / high pitched static. It is fairly easy to see that the drivers in these are significantly smaller than the older / other model. Still, I figured it would be OK on the motorcycle at speed. I was wrong. They are OK for communication, but the sound is so tinny that to hear it appropriately sometimes you need to turn it up to the point that it is shrill and painful. They suffice, but not very well in the SQ department. As far as fitment - after just ~5 rides in them they now can cause some irritation and itching in my ear. I'll try to clean them more regularly to see if that helps but that is a ton more maintenance and it does not appear as easy to clean this model since you can't remove the tip. I like that with the smaller driver and higher flexibility there is almost no way for them to interfere with my helmet, but after those ~5 rides I'm finding it is quite hard to get them to insert properly (yes, even when I pull my earlobe down and do a proper insert). Part of this seems to be that there's just not really anything good to push on to get them to seat since the whole unit is so flexible. Overall these are passable and certainly better than helmet speakers sitting outside of earplugs (other than the difficulty getting my helmet on - which applies to all plugfones), but I wish I'd spent extra to get the better version. I see that version has yellow tips now, so I hope they haven't changed from the silicone I knew and loved to a foam similar to this set. All things considered I think a few cents of production upgrades could improve this product significantly, but I wonder if it has been corporatized and / or manufacturing shipped overseas to the lowest bidder. I hope quality improves a bit next time I need to buy.

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.

These are my go to ear protection alternative for work. They resemble actual ear protection PPE close enough that I have never been noticed wearing them. They are comfortable, which I didn't even think would be an issue until I tried another brand and they were too large. The sound is good enough. the bass response is there, so music sounds good. I've been using this brand for going on 2 years and the one issue I have is that they tend to fail within 3 to 6 months. The wire connection at the plug fails, and the split in the wire to left and right fails (EDIT: my latest pair, one of the wires pulled out a bit from the ear bud). I have learned to be as careful as possible with these points and the sets do seem to be lasting longer. This is a relatively minor issue, given the cost and the fact that I can enjoy music or whatever at work with this product, whereas without it, I cannot.

I really like these headphones. I use them for mowing the lawn, tractor work and some shop work. They keep the outside noise to an appropriate level. Connected easily to my iPhone. Sound quality isn’t what you’d get out of higher end headphones, but out works for audiobooks and music that I listen to. Battery life is ok, outlast a tank of of the mower on 5 acres, and it’s easy to keen charged.

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.

I've ordered my second pair because I wanted to leave a pair at work. I find traditional ear buds very uncomfortable so I love these as an alternative. Good battery life; no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.

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.

Ear buds that are actually ear plugs to block outside noise.

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 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++++

No hay necesidad de hacer mala promoción dice que puede durar hasta 10 horas de batería y se me descargó en 7 horas mi primer día de uso ni siquiera mis 8 horas de trabajo

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!

FINALLY- Simple, foam, noise-blocking earbuds! Fits nicely in my narrow ears, the sound is clear. These are just your basic listening earbuds - perfect for listening to music while moving - the foam really blocks outside sounds and keeps the buds in place. I had an expensive set of foam noise blocking ear buds...wore those out after 5 great years and tried to find new ones...manufacturer stopped making the kind I like. 🙂 I have been searching for over two years, my desk is littered with 'not right' options I have been purchasing with high-hopes. Now I have these, and they are perfect!

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.

I purchased these back in January for my boyfriend. He works in a industrial plant with a lot of very loud machines. He needed some earplugs that he could pair with his iPhone. So I got these and he absolutely loves them!! I told him I was doing a review and he said “ give them 10 stars all the way around” lmao! He lost them last night and had to work today without them. He said it’s the worst day ever at work cause he doesn’t have his ear plugs and can’t listen to his audiobooks while he works. So here I am On here now to order him another pair!

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

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

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 notice the volume is a bit low for these but works just fine. Looks exactly like my earplugs for work !

I wish it came with spare orange replacement covers

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

They fit properly with changeable ear pieces,and being they look & wear like regular ear plugs at work.Awesome

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

Haven't had the chance to use them in the work environment yet. But I have tested them at home. There not good enough sound quality for music. But they are great for audio books. They fit nicely. You just gotta be careful with pulling them out.Seeing that they kinda fold. Sound does leak out if turned up to loud. But I'm sure if there's a lot of noise around that won't be a problem. Unless someone is ear to ear. I like them and can't wait to use them on the working area. Because you know standing there checking parts for faults is boring.

Exactly what I was looking for. Looks exactly like the normal ear plugs. No one knows the difference. Sound quality isn’t the greatest for music (as expected), but perfect for listening to podcast for 8hrs at work. Also they do work very well at cancelling outside noise like a normal earplug, which makes you able to hear them much better without cranking them up. I would agree they do seem a little fragile and likely built to not last forever. At this price I figured I’d try them anyways. I am very careful and protective of them so we will see how long they last. So far great still at the two-week mark. I’m very happy with these so far.

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

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

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

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.

Been using PlugFones for years now...this is my third pair of the Liberate 2.0's. I wear them all day, every day, so after a couple years or so one of the earbuds will stop working or something, so time for a new pair. Sound quality is good, especially if you're mostly just listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Don't expect these to blow you away listening to music as they're definitely a bit thin-sounding, but still perfectly usable if you just want some jams while you're working or on a plane or whatever. I used to prefer the silicone tips on older models, but they seem to have improved the shape/design of the foam tips and now I prefer the foams for fit/comfort. Have been and will continue to be a user of PlugFones.

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 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.

The sound quality is good considering the cost of these. I tend to snag these a lot so they'd short out at the connect point. Could be a little more durable. These are very comfortable to wear. I use them at work for an average of 6-8hrs a day. Also nice that a additional set of replacement ear buds come with the package.

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

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

Work extremely well. All the benefits of my regular foam earplugs with the addition of Bluetooth. With these I keep the sound at the lowest level, speakers in the same helmet required the volume to be at the highest available setting. Highly recommend

Excellent product Great Sound. Use them practically daily good durability have purchased several of these by now

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!!!😁😁😁

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

I work in a plastic factory during 12 hour shifts or not allowed to listen to to music. I used to get by by day dreaming all night but I can't do that all the time. So listening to music Podcast or audio books helps pass the time.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I was sceptic of these headphones when I first purchased them. After using them all day for a few days I feel that it is an okay time to write a review. The headphones work as intended. It is a noise cancelation ear bud combo. Most people looking at these probably work somewhere hearing protection is required/recommended and music isn't. This set of ear phones works for that. They are incognito and look just like normal ear plugs, but they play music. I have walked around the floor with these non stop and nobody batted an eye. So as far as that goes A+. The noise cancelation is more than adequate. I have machines running close to 100 db. I need to hear when it stops but also don't want my ear drums to explode. They get an A for that as well. Won't completely isolate noise but do good. When music is playing at around half way almost all noise is gone. For this reason I usually keep them pretty low, in case someone needs to get my attention or I need to tend to the machine. If I turn the volume all the way up on them I probably wouldn't be able to hear a jackhammer 3 feet from me. With that being said you aren't going to have beats quality as far as the sound. They are equivalent to a 20$ pair of headphones. Not too bad but nothing great, but I wasn't looking for supreme sound when I bought them, I was looking for something that cut down the noise and allowed me to listen to music inconspicuously. If this describes your situation you are in luck. Also I have purchased multiple corded headphones from the same company. I liked the concept and was on my way to write a review about wishing there was a bluetooth option when I found this. Trust me, it is worth the extra 25 dollars to upgrade to these. Final pro to this set of ear buds, they have a counterweight on the other end. I wasn't sure what it was for initially but after wearing them a bit I realized what it was. I have used bluetooth head phones before and the biggest issue is that the mic/charging portion always weighs down the other end. The counterweight prevents this and a great thought on the manufacturer's end. A If these last 3 months they are worth it in my eyes. Anything more is a win.

Love it

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.

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

They work like magic, and they last the full 10 hours plus a little more and the noise canceling is pretty good, not as good as my AirPods but they work just as good for the price. I work nights, 12 hour shift and even when they die I just use them as ear plugs so I don’t have to hear the machines or pallets being dropped.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Sanity Restored! I have got to say that these have made work a bit more tolerable. I work in a factory with forklifts and very noisy machines. If I keep the volume at a medium level I can still hear the horns and backup beeps. To hear conversation on the floor I just take one out without fear that a co-worker will discover music coming from my "earplugs". If a background soundtrack is what your looking for, these are perfect. Just don't be jamming to the music and forget to be safe. So far I have used them 5 days a week for 8 hours a day and they are still in perfect working order after 4 weeks. I am not overly cautious with them but do try to remove by the plugs, not the wire. Very satisfied and feel these earbuds are worth the money.

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.

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

Works like a charm. Great sound. Use around loud noises.

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

My husband has to wear ear plugs at work, we found these and he absolutely LOVES them. Said the quality of the speakers are great, while also being totally noise canceling.

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.

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.

I have tried other brands, these work and stay in my ears. In addition, I can hear the music very good even on the lowest volume level and still hear changes with my mower engine and deck. While headsets would probably do okay, in the south Texas sun, they would get sweaty and I might not be able to wear my large brim hat. Regardless, I have learned the best way to extend the life of any ear plugs is too clean your ears before use.

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

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.

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.

The perfect headset for motorcycling. Fits great under the helmet. I can operate the controls with gloves on.The sound is better than most other in ear headsets. Noise cancelling is more than adequate, and comes with spare plugs, and has different types to buy separately that completely blocks out ambient noise. There is a corded version for those who don't want to spend the bluetooth money, and they are the best bang for the buck.

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

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.

I've been buying this brand for years. They usually last a few months (6-10) Which is much longer than any other brand. I use them daily at work. I work in a machine shop that plays music. Wearing these I can barely hear the music in the shop and have to remove one to hear someone talking. Even when I don't have my music playing these still serve as a great pair of ear plugs. I made the mistake of buying the cheaper ones in purple. Yeah those broke in less than a week and hurt my ears. If your going to buy earbud/plugs definably buy these ones. I've tied several brands and these are absolutely the best value for the money.
