Product Information

NRR 26) Plugfones Guardian Earplug-Earphone Hybrids provide hearing protection plus music listening. Apple AirPods are another popular wireless earphone, alongside Sony and Bose headphones - who also offer a range of wired in-ear headphones.

Sound quality isn’t what you’d get out of higher end headphones, but out works for audiobooks and music that I listen to.Here at Emtec, we understand that you may wish to listen to music whilst working or enjoying your hobbies and we strongly believe that your hearing protection shouldn’t get in the way of this. All in all, a five-star alternative to the Sony WF-1000XM5 and a very, very decent pair of wireless earbuds in their own right. Engineered to deliver quality sound, Plugfones Guardian are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to enjoy their music while still staying safe.

There's a pair of earbuds for everyone on this list, including budget wired headphones and premium models, plus noise-cancelling headphones and Bluetooth headphones, too. They stay in place, and being nothing protrudes from your ear but the wire, donning/doffing your helmet doesn't yank them out or cause pain as I found with many other earbuds. Earplugs first, headphones second – the most important thing to remember about Plugfones is that they protect your hearing first and foremost. The buds' fit and on-ear controls are both very good, while battery life clocks in at a very competitive total of 30 hours with the charging case.Hearing protection for industrial workers is critical, and with our custom moldable earplugs, you can be confident that your hearing is protected. In the example below we use the sound of a shotgun, the user can clearly hear the safety marshall and wildlife in the background.

Plugfones earplug headphones are designed for situations when you want to block out sound and simultaneously listen to music. The Easy Shape System lets you heat the molds in boiling water and shape them to the exact shape of your ear. The XM5s are a little plain and stale looking, but these sleek, more luxury-looking Bose buds are the real deal, with a secure fit and a bit more aesthetic flair than their rivals - that's a real plus point in terms of perceived value. So, you will also want to ensure the in-ear headphones you go for (and the tips you get with them) are comfortable. Simply choose the right one from the colour-coded earplugs in 7 different sizes – for a comfortable fit and the best protection.

The silicone piece seems to fit more snug and comfortable to me but it's nice to have multiple options.
