4.0 out of 5 stars life/work changing, but I have one BIG issue
I love these ear plug headphones. However, this is my third pair in a year and a half. I wear them everyday so I get a lot of use, but paying $30 roughly every 6 months is getting old. These earplugs allow me to listen to audiobooks, music, and even TV at work. With amazon prime you can download shows directly to your phone so you can watch them offline later. I have watched HOURS and HOURS of TV with these earplugs. Well mostly listen, but some watching. I bought a Bluetooth receiver and run the plugfone wires down my back inside my shirt with it plugged into my Bluetooth receiver and the receiver in my back pocket so everything is hidden from everyone else. I am an aircraft sheet metal mechanic( I repair airplanes). I actually work harder because I am not goofing off somewhere else and I can work while I listen and glance over at the phone. That's what I enjoy about them but there are some issues I have with them as well. The earplug portion of the plugs are fairly decent at blocking the sound but they are not quite as good as real earplugs. Since the plastic speaker goes deep into the foam, as it must, it makes it difficult to push deep into your ear. My biggest problem with them though would be that I am having to buy new ones every 6 months because one side will short out and quit working or worse start working intermediately. That's a lot of money on earplugs! Like I said though I wear them a lot, 5 days a week, 8 hours or more a day. You have to decide if it is worth it for you. Other than that they sound great and are plenty loud for my shop which can get very loud!
4.0 out of 5 stars Left ear bud don’t work !
Left ear bud don’t work ! First pair I bought work great for the 5 months I had them ! 2nd pair trash 🙄
4.0 out of 5 stars Mala promo
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as gen 1 but still good
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Noise cancelling works well
Noise cancellation is way more than I expected. Though I understand why, still sad that there is not much bass so the sound quality suffers in that department. Everything else about these is amazing and very well built and priced.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars
They don't block outside noise as much as I was hoping the would. 9/8/16 Update: I just wanted to say that I have found using the silicone covers provide a little more noise cancelling than I first thought. However, I have to really push them into the ear canal to achieve the tight fit necessary for maximum noise blocking. I find the silicone covers to be more comfortable than the foam covers as well. If you aren't comfortable really shoving these things into your ear canal, you might not achieve the seal needed to block outside noise. I still hear outside noise (TV in the next room), but it blocks out enough unwanted noise that I can concentrate on what I am listening to. But, be careful with these because they are a little delicate. The wires are thin and you don't want to pull them out by the wires. Grab the earphone itself for removal.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love them
I love these I can wear them at work and they work great. Battery lasts about 8-9 hours! Sound quality is great just bought my 2nd pair so I have a back up pair:)
5.0 out of 5 stars Your boss will never know!
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, lacking durability
Worked great for a couple weeks, then the buttons quit working.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it
I'm on my second pair, they are not meant to last forever folks... I'm a welder, so the fact they even manage to last a week is great! Like I said I'm on my 2nd pair in 6 months. And that's working 10-12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week....I do clean them with alcohol every night just to try and keep them clean. So I'm ok with the price the quality is good plus just to be able to sneak music in is worth it to me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works amazing!!!
The noise cancellation is amazing and the sound is very good quality!! I recommend this item!
4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good
The only complaint is the battery low notification is way too frequent, tell me it's low once and I got it, no need to keep saying it every thirty seconds until they die. And the voice notification saying the battery is low is way too long, chime once or twice instead god its so annoying.
4.0 out of 5 stars love It
Edit: item arrived broken, contacted plugphones and they are sending a new pair. I enjoy using every minute of these while I’m at work, I’m a welder so music saves me from thinking too much, plus they look like the earplugs my work supplies.
These are 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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work out of the bag.
I have used these for years and they usually work for at least 6 to 9 months before they stop working. The most recent pair I purchased didnt work right out of the package. One ear had no sound, and the other popped in and out with normal and quiet sound. I like this product, but seeming that they are made for construction personnel they should be a little bit more rigid.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound quality
Great sound quality as well as battery life it’s true you really get 12 hrs of music play time I use them all the time at work only thing I wish it didn’t have so many bulky boxes on the cord and that the cord was a little shorter
They do exactly what they're supposed to do, and they do it well. They last about ten hours, which is why I gave it 3 stars for battery life. I am the only person at my workplace that uses these "earplugs" (everyone else uses SparkPlugs) and no one has questioned whether or not these are just earplugs.
4.0 out of 5 stars get treks instead
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 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.
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!
As plain-old earbuds, these rock. Having started to develop tinnitus, I've started being extremely cautious with my hearing and these allow me to listen to my music and hear the sound very clearly at even the absolute lowest volume. They do a really good job at blocking out mild to moderate noise; however, I hate to say that these did not meet my expectations for louder noises. My work involves me riding around on an old mower for hours on end. I suspect there's something wrong with the muffler, because it is incredibly loud. Before purchasing this product, I would simultaneously wear both foam earplugs (rated at 30 NRR) and an old pair of earmuffs (current NRR unknown) to reduce the noise to a comfortable level. I expected the foam plugfones (rated here at 29 NRR) to perform comparably underneath my earmuffs, but they did not block out nearly as much noise as I expected them to. Fortunately, they still work really well at taking the edge off of some of the quieter, but still obnoxious tools, such as the hammer drill, vacuum, or orbital sander. Furthermore, as I previously stated, they're still a really great pair of earbuds in quiet environments where ambient noise might block out some music at extremely low volumes. My only measurable complaint with this product is that the jack is "loose" in my music player. It's not physically noticeable, but I'll be listening to my music and all of a sudden I'll only have sound in one ear. Giving the jack a twist or a bit of a wiggle alleviates the issue and so far I've only noticed it happening once every listening session (usually between 3-6 hours). I have no regrets with this purchase, but if I were to make it again, I would probably see if I could have better luck with a different, similarly-priced product.
I use the plugphones for my Raceceiver at the dirt track. These are very comfortable in my ear and provide me enough hearing protection to hear our race information, and the cars around me which is important. I broke my first pair getting out of the car at my own fault, not the product. I believe the audio could be better but I'm still a repeat customer.
5.0 out of 5 stars Update: works great!!! Battery drains fast.
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Definelty worth buying
I bought my first pair of these months ago and I have been using them on my job daily. 7 days a week and any where from 8 - 12 hours a day. I work in a foundry its dirty and extremely hot so far they have worked flawlessly. I even where them around the house some days before and after work. I'm fairly rough on them. I want you to know how much I wear my ear buds. a typical pair of 20 $ walmart skullcandys ONLY LAST ME 30 DAYS. Like clock work those skullcandys go bad that's how much I use them. The plugphones are still working from my first set. They could be a little louder and the sound quality is good but not like a high end pair of earbuds. For audiobooks or pod cast they work great. I highly recomend them if like me u work in an enviroment where if you have fun your fired or your lazy and are going to be fired then use these. I have spoken to my supervisor to area supers and the plant president and not one had the slightest clue I was listen to head phone lol its great. They were so happy with my boss thinking it was him who got me to start wearing ear plugs instead of ear buds. Lol they are well worth every penny
I wear these Bluetooth plugfones at work and the sound quality is great! I work 12 hours around noisy machinery and the noise cancelation is magnificent! The battery life is insane. I only charge when I get off and use the plugfones my entire shift. I have recommended these to my entire shift and a couple of people bought and love them too.
4.0 out of 5 stars A good buy if this is what you're looking for
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars Expected worst hoped for best and was impressed.
I've been using these for about two weeks now. The foam buds didn't really fit but the silicone work masterfully. They're comfortable and even in the steel foundry the noise reduction is amazing. I thought I'd have to turn my phone up to compensate for the noise and was pleasantly surprised. I can actually have my Device turned down further than standard earphones allowing me to listen as well as communicate with and understand my co-workers. Final plus, nobody realizes im even wearing headphones as these mimic the silicone 3M earplugs flawlessly. I would recommend.
They work perfectly for what I wanted them for. They look exactly like earplugs, and the cord is long enough that you can tuck it into your shirt hiding the controls. Battery life is great... it'll last a 10 hour shift of listening. 3 of my coworkers have ordered a pair after seeing these.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very good product
I have owned about 3 pair of plug phones....I work in high noise environments on top of welding in these environments. I would recommend these to everyone. The battery life on pervious one would last around 6 hrs, these however last the 12 hrs like advertised. Hearing protection side is good. Most normal earplugs are rated for 32 to 36 db the plug phones I use are rated for 26db and they work great. Very good product for the price
5.0 out of 5 stars No idea how people cant get these to last a while.
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
5.0 out of 5 stars READ BEFORE BUYING/RETURNING
I almost gave this product one star, until I figured out how they work… there are no instructions that come with this product. You might be saying, “why do you need instructions for earplugs?“. This is why… When you open the box, it has the cord which goes around your neck, and the 2 sets of ear plugs are separate and come in little plastic bags. There are two types, one is for full protection, and one is for partial protection. If you want to know which ones do what, just look at picture on the cover of the box. Easy enough… Now for the warning… I own a tree removal company and I am around very loud noises all day, so I bought these because I liked the idea of the attached cord to secure the earplugs so I could easily take them in and out without having to screw around with holding them or putting them in my pocket all the time when not in use. So I bought these specifically for the full protection set since I am around pretty extreme amounts of noise. When I went to put the plugs into the cord they were slipping in and out so easily that they were completely ineffective, and offered almost no sound protection. So as I was putting them back in the box to return them, I decided to try out the partial protection earplugs to see if those worked better. They did, and this is why…. What they don’t tell you, since they don’t provide instructions, is that there is another piece besides the plugs and the cord which secures the plugs to the cord and offers most of the sound protection. When you open the box, this piece has been pre-installed into the partial protection plugs, but not the full protection plugs. Once I figure this out and pulled the partial protection plugs off of this piece and installed the full protection plugs, they worked great. I love them. That being said, all of this could’ve been solved with a simple paper insert explaining this. Since the plugs are so good, I don’t want to give them anything less than five stars, so that’s why I am writing instructions on their behalf… I hope they read this review and start putting instructions in the box, otherwise they are going to get about half of their products returned if people happen to try the full protection plugs first. Perhaps they just forgot to put the instructions in my box, and that’s certainly possible, but just in case they all come like this, I hope this review helps.
5.0 out of 5 stars I can mow and listen to a concert on the lowest volume setting.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for motorcycle
I got this so I can listen to music when I ride, At 80 MPH it cut's out a lot of wind noise and I can hear the music with out turning it up. It's a very basic system but it works well.
4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoy these, and I think you will too.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente compra!!
Excelente producto, nunca pensé que sería tan útil, su batería tiene un buen rendimiento, excelente sonido, buen manejo para contestar llamadas, lo único que no me gustó que su empaque no es el mejor muy frágil y poco llamativo en comparación con otros y no tiene estuche para guardarlos.
5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite work headphones
Great sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation, extended battery life. I charge them over night and they last through my whole entire 10 hr shift of straight podcasts lol.
4.0 out of 5 stars great earbuds, with a big problem
I bought these to wear at work. They work really well and sound great, but they are not built well. Pros: They look exactly like the ear protection that my job requires, but they are earbuds so I can listen to videos and podcasts to make my workday less boring. They are comfortable, so wearing them for the whole day is not a problem. They sound surprisingly good. They come with a handy plastic carrying case for storage. Cons: There is really only one - they are not built well. For a product that is intended for a work environment they are very fragile. This pair only lasted me 16 days at work. I don't beat on them, and the cord is run under my shirt so it does not hang or catch on things. But the cord does bend where it connects to the plug. After 14 days I had to add tape to get a signal in both channels, and a couple days later they did not work at all. Overall: Being able to listen to earbuds while I work is worth the expense to me. Except for the durability issue I really like these, and I have ordered 2 more pairs of the cheaper model because it has a 90° angle at the plug, plus I will add tape at the beginning so there won't be a flexing issue.
5.0 out of 5 stars These are great. Easy to sleep in and I can listen to music to go to sleep.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of gear!
Everything about these are great! I use these on my motorcycle to listen to GPS directions and they work great! A steal at the price!
We have a farm and feedlot operation. My husband needed hearing protection and earbuds. These were literally half the price that the local store wanted but the exact brand and quality. He wears these in the shop to listen to talk radio and while grinding hay. The battery has a long life and so far they have held up to all the dirt and abuse he gives them.
4.0 out of 5 stars Earplug headphones
Love that they work well at my job. Only thing I don’t like about them is they catch on things. So have to tuck under shirt.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great noise reduction, okay sound quality
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.
Cancels noice at full volume but also blows your hearing after. A little over medium volume and should be able to hear your songs and a forklift horn. So pretty good for what I needed.
4.0 out of 5 stars Sound good, had to replace my first pair.
They look just like regular earplugs and actually sound really good. However my first pair broke within only a few weeks. However I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement no questions asked. My current pair is going strong. Would recommend, but be aware it's possible they may not last you very long. But again, they were replaced without issue.
5.0 out of 5 stars LOOKS LIKE HEARING PROTECTION
If i could give this product 6 stars I would. The volume can go so high it HURTS, far louder than any of my other earbuds. They do work as normal ear plugs without music playing. But, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the buttons and battery are far enough down the wire i can easily hide them in my T-shirt! My supervisor can suck a ****!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly discreet
These headphones are great, the sound quality is great, it blocks out most noise but still allows you to hear things around you and the battery life is from 8.5-9 hrs. They are discreet in design as they resemble safety ear plugs. I have tried many different Bluetooth headphones and these I highly recommend. Make sure to use the included clip because they will tend to pull down if you don't.
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great item
Used at work. Held up good for 3 months Under constant abuse.
4.0 out of 5 stars I list 7 items u may want to know
Had these a couple weeks. Most people looking at these probably work where ear plugs are required and music isn't. This works for that to an extent. They are somewhat incognito and look just like normal ear plugs, but they play music. 1. The downfall it has counter balance battery on each side which often works its way out of under collar of shirt. So u constantly have to tuck it back in. 2. if you look at my pics you can see how small the buttons are in comparison to the usb. Trying to find which is which while wearing is complicated. 3. on top of that its hard to tell the difference in the usb plug cover and the buttons. 4. A little light can be seen next to the buttons. 5. I have medium size ears an these are a large. They fit really snug. when u push them in the air doesnt exactly escape. So u feel alot of air pressure in your ears. So be careful with that. 6. cancel so good that if they off and no background noise u cant hear what anyone is saying if they right in front of u talking. Not sure if thats a pro or con. But when they in and music on it sounds descent. 7. Battery life: I work 10 hr shift which averages out to an 8 hr day with, the morning safety brief, two 20 min breaks, a half hr lunch and clean up to leave. I would say half the time the battery lasted the full shift. I turn them on an sync them after the morning safety brief. So if you sync these to your phone before u go into work an you work 10 or longer... chances are they not going to make it the whole day.
4.0 out of 5 stars 3 or 4 stars - get what you pay for:
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great protection. Mediocre sound.
These earplugs do a great job blocking noise. I can run power tools or do some hammering and know that my hearing is protected. They also come with 2 pairs of earplugs, so you can wear one pair while charging the other. The sound quality is not great - music is audible but sounds muffled. But then, you’re not buying these for studio sound quality, are you?
5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best invention since the flux capacitor
These plugfones have made work musically better! I honestly never thought I would run into something like this but randomly after days of searching, I found these. I work 10hr shifts and have the plugfones linked to my galaxy watch which has my music on it since I cant have my phone with me at work. I have yet to have the battery die during a shift although my watch barely makes it or dies right before shift end. I comment them while my watch is in airplane mode which helps the watch stay longer but I haven't had a battery issue with the headset yet. Sound quality is acceptable. It's not Bose...maybe slightly better than a walmart cheap pair of headphones but...music is music. They really do look like earplugs. That's the awesome part. I tuck the cord into my shirt so all that can be seen is a blue cord and yellow earplugs, no control or counterweight. I have had a constant issue with the plugfones seeming to get an intermittently poor connection for a second randomly. It happens about 6-8 times in a 10hr shift so I cant complain that much about it. The song will skip or slow down for a moment and then it's back to normal. This is probably the only issue I've had and I knew it was possible since others have mentioned it in reviews. Overall I would say that I'm incredibly happy that someone actually invented these. Do I think they should be sold at $50? Well..there isnt really anyone else selling them so more power to them. Are they worth that? Honestly, not really but they conceal the fact that I have music and they work pretty well as a whole. I paid $50 because music while I work is worth that much to me.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works!
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best hearing protection bar none
I've been using these for a Solid 5 years now.. it's the only hearing protection you should have in your ears
4.0 out of 5 stars Good value headphones
These headphones come with two sets of headsets so you are never without your entertainment even in the longest of work days. The charging case is top notch and it brings a sleek carrying case to house the charging case and extra headsets. I also appreciated the extra ear bud tips. The quality of the sound isn’t great. It is lacking Bass. I think it is good value for what you pay, but audiophiles need to stay away.
5.0 out of 5 stars I love this project
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
The rubber or foam inserts are very effective in blocking sound. I frequently take walks near a highway with semi trucks and other noisy traffic and I can comfortably listen to podcasts while doing so. I've previously unsuccessfully tried several brands looking for sound blocking capability. Several years ago there was a brand, Blockade, that were effective and very similar but they've been discontinued and they were exorbitant. The rubber and foam inserts are removable from the speaker of the plugs and earwax is easily cleaned by rinsing in hot tap water. I'm no audiophile and primarily listen to podcasts but I do find the sound quality very good. I'm had no endurance or quality problems with these after a few months. I'm purchasing a spare pair today.
4.0 out of 5 stars Work as advertised, as long as you don't have smaller ear canals.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you work in a factory, trust me, these are what you want
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars sound quality fair to good
I'm not allowed to wear buds that stream music. As the buds visibly blink advertising that they are connected I was told to remove them. No use to me if I can't use them at work. Take away the flashing light and I'd buy them again
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Work
My job recently cracked down on phones and electronics on the floor we work 12 hours and 60 hourss a week. That being said it gets monotonous listening to the machines or your coworker talk about getting drunk or past times getting drunk at first we used earmuffs with AirPods under but one idiot got caught and their now checking everyone with earmuffs on so a friend recommended these and they are great I have been in front of the plant manager and had a full conversation without being noticed all you need is a good pullover and boom their regular ear plugs. Those of you whining about quality or having to buy an adapter get over it and be thankful we have this product in the first place can't tell you how much I appreciate this product good luck stealth listeners.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great fit!!!
Out of all the ear phones I have purchased in the past. These are by far the best ones because I can insert them in my ears and don't have to worrying about them falling out like other brands I have worn. I have small ears and narrow outer canal which makes it difficult for ear buds to accommodate the wear. The sound quality is astonishing. I wore them during my workout on the treadmill this morning and they allowed me to stay focused and finish my one hour cardio session without any discomfort. I most definitely will purchase these again in the future.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente sonido
Me parece que el sonido es excelente y el precio no es tan caro para la buena calidad que son
5.0 out of 5 stars Works exactly as expected
I use this on a motorcycle and its great. Even at highway speeds, I can hear the podcasts on my phone at half volume. This also blocks out sound better than the concert ear buds I used previously. 5/5 highly recommend
4.0 out of 5 stars sound is not great but it works okay
sound is not great but it works okay. ear plugs are very bulky too.. hard to fit in ear canal
4.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy! Works & Sounds Great!
I was looking foe a stealth bluetooth for mah 10 - 12 job & these work as advertised. Despite the not so great review & that price... I bought these anyway. They work & sound rly good considering their size & the size of the hole the sound goes thru. The signal strength is also good. The foam tips tear rly easy but i just snugged them off carefully & placed the silicone 1s on instead which work & feel better The battey dont quite last that 12 hours i was hoping for but they do last 10 which is still great & better than wut i had b4. These rly are stealthy. i wear wrangler collared shirts everyday so tucking in the 2 black hardware encasements on the string aint no problem. The lights would b a giveaway but i simply put a paper label over it & used a black sharpie to make it dissappear. One cud use a tiny piece of black tape if they wanted to cover the litl blu lite. Ive had my leads & supervisors not say a word to me about these. They hav no clue whatsoever. They just assume its regular earplugs & they technically are... "Wink wink" In all it was worth the price to me for these things. Ive had no problem wutsoever. Wud hav given 5 stars were it not for the battery charge life & that price.... Yea... Its high... But again, worth it!
5.0 out of 5 stars They last a work day
I love that they have two pairs but one pair will last a 12 hour work day.
Love these for any situation. Yard work, Shop work, relaxing. They dont fall out, durable, light weight.
5.0 out of 5 stars Plug Phones are the bomb!
The only thing I did not like, is the battery is heavier then the control side. It doesn’t hang even around my neck.
Sound quality is a little poor but they do their job. They work well as ear plugs and look just like our company supplied ear plugs to be sneaky
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing expensive ear plugs
The rolls Royce of ear plugs. It comes with 2 sets of ear plugs, one for full protection with interchangeable comfortable plugs and one that filters out partial noise for concerts. Brilliant! Everything is as shown on box, no need to cut down more trees for a piece of paper with instructions. It's not hard to figure out the strap is for attaching to the plugs so you don't lose them. And a little pouch to keep everything in.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bought August 18, 2018 / Dead January 22, 2021
Are these good headphones? Yes. But I believe they're not completely worth the price. Pretty sure I spent $100 at the time. Sound quality is actually pretty good. Sometimes it appears to be bad but you have to perfectly get it in your ear to get the full range of sound. Constant notification about low battery is annoying. I don't know why that's common. Unnecessary Battery life fell over the course of me owning these which was only 2.25 years. I work a 10 hour shift. At first it would easily have enough power but after a while it would last only about 7 hours before low battery. Finally, it died only 2.25 years after purchase. That's not a long enough life. What I mean by it died is both sound channels stopped working. The headset will "turn on" indicated by the light. But no sound can be heard. The left and first and the right went out 2 weeks later. Shame, think I'll get the plug in ones this time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for motorcycle riders
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great earplugs/earbuds
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Motorcycle use and have proven durable (Quality has improved)
I purchased my first pair over a year ago. I'd read reviews that they were not durable but figured for under $30.00 if they lasted a few months of riding they'd be worth it. I'm VERY hard on earbuds, generally going through 4 or 5 pairs a year (generally fail due to the wiring breaking at the bud or at the plug end). I bough theses specifically for motorcycle riding. They allow me to listen to music or audiobooks at moderate volume levels (compared to regular earbuds that need to be at high volume to be heard over the wind). They work fantastically at that role, and for the last year I wore them every time I rode (even if I wasn't listening to anything) for their ear protection properties. Even better, they appear to have overcome their QC issues because my first pair of plugfones lasted the entire year (18,000 miles on the bike). A couple weeks ago one side stopped working and I immediately ordered a new pair (figuring I'd finally broken them). It turns out that what happened is that the foam had degraded and parts of it were stuck in the speaker opening. I cleaned it out and now they're working again... so I just ordered foam replacement - and will have 2 pair of plugfones. I recommend this product for both quality and performance without reservation.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good product but has a flaw
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Great idea that works, bad replacement plug design
I purchased two kinds here in amazon but I can only see the wired one. These are really great. I have the wireless ones as well. I get about 8 hours on them. The company started out great with the foam plugs but have continued to change the design. Every design change they made to the foam plugs they claim is better NRR rating but I don’t think so. The originals they went for a bell shape, then a twist rocket shape to the, current tiny stepped shape. I believe the only ones that are any good are the bell shape that they no longer make. The bell shape is the only style that fits my ears and provides the best protection. I don’t believe the other designs are any good. I get major sound leakage around the edge of my ear canals because I guess they are too small for proper snug fit. My ear canal is too big for them. So I’ll still use them as long as I have the bell shape plugs. But once those are gone I’ll stop using them. Sad really, best ear plugs for my job but we’re ruined by constant design changes to make more money.
5.0 out of 5 stars I love these
I got these for wearing under my motorcycle helmet. I love them. Putting the helmet on or taking it off doesn't move the plugs at all. Even though the NRR is rated at 26db, to my ears it seems like my 23db NRR earmuffs. The plugfones cut out a good chunk of wind noise, but I can just still hear my motorcycle's engine and things going on around me. I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing is that I wish I had spent the money and got the bluetooth ones instead.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy, but not going to last forever
Use them at work, they look just like and work like regular earplug. They actually block sound better than the ones my factory provides. This is the second pair I bought the first pair one ear went out after 4-5 months, but I think they are worth the money to not have silence.
5.0 out of 5 stars great for motorcycle
I have been using disposable earplugs and wanted to listen to music on my motorcycle. These cancel the engine and wind noise better than my old earplugs. Between songs, it's strangely silent. With music playing, all I hear is the music and it's like I'm floating down the road. Literally no other noise can be heard. I think it's excellent, and I really love these! I think you have to make sure you're using your eyes and being attentive, because you really won't hear anything with them on. **UPDATE** After 3 days, one of the plugs stopped working. I still use it as an earplug and only get music from the one working plug. The one that works it still going after a month of daily use. I got a different motorcycle, an sv1000 with dual yoshi exhaust, it's much louder and these don't block it out but they help. **NOTE** I also learned that it is illegal to be driving with these in your ears in my state. All forms of headphones are illegal while driving. So I've been enjoying the fact that one of the plugs is broken, so that I can still hear what's happening in one ear. It's probably safer, but still just as illegal.
Even a Harley with stock pipes is noisy enough to render real high quality sound pointless. But, the sound quality combined with the noise cancellation of plugphones definitely yields a good enough listening experience to improve the pleasure of riding out on the open roads of the High Plains. Make sure it is legal in your state if you are planning to be motoring with these in your ears. You can certainly hear sirens through those noise reduction phones, but you may not be able to convince Johnny Law or The Man of that.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great concept but a little uncomfortable
I bought these for travel on non-airline aircraft that are loud and require wearing ear protection. They offered the same protection and noise reduction, it seemed, as any old foamie ear pro, but I was able to listen to tunes while traveling. Sound quality was pretty good...not a super high fidelity ear piece, certainly, but about what I expected. My only misgiving was that they were a little uncomfortable for 2-3+ at a time. The soft foamie is better than the other kind, but still a little uncomfortable. Would recommend, though, if you need to wear ear pro, but want to listen to music/etc.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not terrible. Good for work.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars I waited my whole life...
What's not to like? They are exactly like the earplugs people wear at my job. They keep outside noise out! Which is a good thing if your job is loud and you can rock out while your working. Dying laughing the whole time. Just dont tell anyone... It's your secret If you are looking for like super bad ass sound quality they are a 20 $pair of headphones it's awesome they play music ... be cool if they made an upgraded version for it ... I'd pay more but then again they are for work and I will probably just break em. These have lasted all summer. And I work a really intense job so... two thumbs up
4.0 out of 5 stars quality sound, not quality built.
I love these earphones. They are definitely an upgrade from the cheaper version. They sound crisp, the bass is just right. They are fantastic, sound quality wise. BUT, I have to buy a pair every 3 months because I use these every single day. I have a hot, sweaty, constant pace job and that somehow causes one the ear phones to short out, and somehow it seems to be right at 3 months. But still, before that third month hits, they are quality sound earphones that will keep you going all day. Also. The silicone buds are fantastic. The foam buds these come with are horrible. You can easily attach them, but trying to remove them without destroying them is impossible for me. The silicone is all I use. They do make the inside of my ears itchy at times, but nothing major.. Just remove the buds (which is simple with the silicone) and clean them. Just be prepared to buy up to 4 pairs a year. ( I'm about to be on my 3rd this year alone because my second pair just died.)
5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 8th pair!
I always use these headphones! The only reason that I have to keep getting more is because I rip them at work. They are about 26 dB for NRR and sound just as good as SkullCandy Jibs™ and are very worth it. I recommend tj
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
Great sound, even the bass kinda suprised me, super comfortable and great while working in a machine shop.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great for work
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than most
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Effective and reasonably priced.
I generally can't stand earbud headphones—they never stay in my ears and aren't comfortable—but about a year ago I discovered Koss Plugs, which have memory foam ear inserts and managed not to fall out as a result. I liked those, but the sound quality wasn't great and eventually they physically wore out and needed to be replaced. I looked around and found these, which are slightly more expensive than the Plugs were, but were well reviewed and had a few features that the Plugs don't: the jack lead isn't angled, so it fits nicely through my iPhone case, there's an inline volume and pause control as well as a microphone (which I've actually never used, so I can't comment on its quality), and they function as real earplugs with a distinct reduction in ambient noise. I spend about an hour every day listening to music on a bus; buses are not known for being the quietest of places, and when I have these headphones in—even with no music playing—my environment is noticeably quieter and much more pleasant for that, and as headphones these sound pretty nice, with more bass than I've come to expect from small drivers. Additional points for unexpected durability: I accidentally washed these headphones once and they still sound fine. My only complaint with them is that besides the microphone there's no obvious indication of left/right, so I actually swapped my left plug with a different colored spare. You can tell which side is which for sure by looking at an embossed marking on the driver, but that's difficult in poor lighting conditions.
4.0 out of 5 stars The experience of true happiness, and the disappointment to follow.
Absolutely fabulous. This product, with it's discrete, earplug-like appearance, has assisted me in maintaining my sanity at the overwhelming, laborious, monotonous factory job.-In which I unfortunately spend anywhere from 50-70 hours each week, often going without a day off for many fortnights. Thanks to this product, I am now able to stimulate my brain with important information via 'NPR' podcasts, fill my heart with laughter from the greatest comedians, and most importantly, fuel my soul with the power of music. As for the product itself, I am happy to report that the quality of the headphones has been beyond satisfactory. I have had this product for roughly 6 weeks, and have inadvertently ripped the auxiliary from my phone in the roughest of fashions many a time without compromising the wires/causing a short. As a musician I have been through headphones quicker than underpants, and these have outlived every set of earbuds. My only complaint is that the foam plugs collect dirt quicker than a colony of ants devour a gumdrop. This almost destroyed me. The bright yellow plastic piece on the inside, flush against the dirt encrusted foam, could have easily blown my plug disguise in an instant if someone had paid remote attention to my ears. Thank goodness no one did such a thing! Once I returned to my humble abode, I removed such foam plugs immediately! Thus replacing them with its rubber plug counterpart. The rubber plug has not a single blemish of grime after nearly one month of daily usage....BBBUUUUTTTTT...The sound quality has deteriorated immensely! In attempts to fit them into my ears as properly as possible, I noticed a bit of pain resonating from my ear drum. Seems as though they cause my ears to become more sensitive, while canceling out much less noise than its foam associate. The quality of the bass has been cut in half-if not more, which makes it difficult for me to truly enjoy my music without the full sound experience I am entitled to receive. Sometimes they make my ears sweat too, causing severe discomfort. I think the plug covers should be sold separately.
I always preferred Plugfones to other brands. However, I tried a competitor's completely wire free earbuds and didn't like them at all. Plugfones seem to have the best fit. And I think the sound quality is really good for the price.
4.0 out of 5 stars not the best quality, but perfect for what he
Husband loves, not the best quality, but perfect for what he needs
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!
5.0 out of 5 stars so far so good
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...
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Noice Cancellation for Motorcycle Riding
I use these to listen to music and cancel out noise during long trips on motorcycles. They cancel noise decently well. The music was not super loud with them, but I have a really loud bike, so I can't fault them much for that. It still sounded pretty good.
4.0 out of 5 stars Love them
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Survived the washing machine!
So I normally don't leave reviews, and my initial opinion on these was that they're decent and allow me to listen to music while also protecting my ears from loud ambient noise. The sound quality was about what I expected from a tiny bud hidden in an ear plug. I love the extra long cord that lets me hide the controls under the collar of my shirt. Overall pleased with them, EXCEPT for something that blew my mind! I may have accidentally ran them through the washing machine. And the rinse cycle. Oops.(Remember to check your pockets!) However, I let them dry for a day or so, charged them back up, and they still work well enough that I don't need to replace them. I don't recommend washing them though, they're not supposed to be water (and detergent) proof and the sound in the left bud is a tad muffled now after the rinse cycle. But they have no issues fully charging connecting, or playing music, and still protect my ears despite the impromptu bubble bath! That deserves 5 stars from me! Battery-wise, they tend to go about 9 and a half hours of continuous use before dying. I can charge them up on my commute to and from work. The washing machine incident didn't affect the battery life at all, it's the same now as it was when I first tried them. Definitely recommended if you want some tunes to help tune out loud noise without bulky over-ear muffs, or if you're not allowed to have music at work and wanna be sneaky.
4.0 out of 5 stars Motorcycle ear protection!
I picked these up since they came heavily recommended from a biker group on discord. My handlebar speakers finally crapped out on me after a good 7 years, so I was in the position of either buying new speakers or was also looking into in helmet audio options. Now, at the same time, I've noticed a degradation in my overall hearing when it comes to hearing people speak in loud places. It was concerning to me, so the idea of ear plugs for hearing protection also started to hit me. After trying some of the other ear plugs like high fidelity plugs from Etymotic, and 3m foamies, and airpod pros. I thought wow the ear protection from road and wind noise on the motorcycle is great, but I need some tunes back in my ride. I've now had these headphones for about a month of daily commuting and here are my thoughts. Pros: - the foam tips to a really good job at noise reduction. I'd say the claimed 30db is accurate enough if you get them in your ears properly. - tunes are completely audible at a lower end volume up to about 45mph, over that and you can bump it up until you slow down again. I am not commuting on highways at top speeds, so can't comment on that, but they seem to get pretty loud. - the buttons are easily found around the neck while riding. - battery seems good enough, have only charged it once when I opened it. I ride about 3 days a week, about 20-40 minute commutes. - These easily stay in place while wearing either a full face or a half helmet - can easily be worn for ear protection without using the speakers for when you want to eliminate the road noise but don't need music. Cons: - they can get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. - I think the headphone itself could be a little larger. to get these properly seated in the ears, you need to really push them in there, so it doesn't leave much left to grab before your fingers are essentially putting pressure on the wire. I do think this will be the ultimate weak point of these headphones over time, but so far so good. -price isn't bad compared to in helmet audio solutions or handlebar speakers. (if you go helmet audio, remember that you'll probably need to upgrade your helmet as well) - They default to middle/upper volume when you turn them on so if you are not prepared, it might be considered a bit loud. I need to adjust the volume down every time I turn them on. - I'm sure any true audiophile would not find these satisfactory, but for me they sound great. I listen to a wide range of music from heavy metal to drum and bass. I enjoy great sounding audio. So for what these offer at this price point, WITH ear protection, WHILE riding a motorcycle is actually pretty decent IMO. Overall, I'm satisfied, and will see how well they hold up over time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, sounds good
Works great, sounds good... Only thing I can complain about is that one set of the two sets of ear plugs were a yellow set when I ordered Orange.... But I have other plugfones to replace them, so it's no big deal for me...
5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite headphones
I've used these headphones for over 5 years now. I work in a factory and they help save my hearing. I wear them at work, at home (mowing the lawn or using machinery), even on hikes. I use them every day for hours. The battery is great. The sound is great. I mostly listen to books, but sometimes music. I can wear them and have a conversation with people without issues. They come with 2 tip options. I use the silicone ones and I never have any problems with ear aches or headaches. I wear them for 5-8 hours a day, at least 5 days a week. I used to leave them in my car to charge and so I wouldn't forget them, but the heat and cold caused the wire to come apart by the earpiece after like a year. These are so worth the money. I love that they have a cord connecting them so I can take them out of my ear whenever I need to and not have to worry about losing one. Excellent customer service too. Fantastic product.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you need to hide that your listening to something, get this.
Works for what it is. It's not a Bose sound system, but if you want to appear to have earplugs in bc you cannot listen to music, ECT., Theses are a sneaky way to make your day fly by and enjoy music or podcasts for work environments that require earplugs.
They're very comfortable, and have perfect sound quality. Great for using on a motorcycle, or at work on a construction site. I had my last pair for almost three years with regular use! Unfortunately I found out they don't like washing machines, so don't let that happen. The only real damage on that pair, as far as I could tell, is that the wires got loose going into the jack so it just made a poor connection. I've had my second pair for quite awhile. They work great, and I even caught them on a clip of a drill which tore the insulation. Little bit of tape to fix that, but they never quit working.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good for podcasts or audio books
I use these at work to listen to podcasts and audio books but if your plan is to listen to music, I would not recommend these. The bass is just not there. The battery life is pretty good. I've been using these for several months now and I get 10hrs of listen time at about 70-75% volume no problem.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great o for listening on the low-low
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Not terrible
They work pretty good. My biggest complaint is the noise cancellation. I work in a loud factory and when I have these in I can't hear people right next to me talking to me, but can hear the radio playing from across the giant building I'm working in, weird. The sound quality isn't terrible but is a little lacking in bass. As far as battery life goes it works good for an 8 to 10 hour shift no issues, but once it says battery is low it shuts off a couple minutes later and says it still has 20% battery life left.
5.0 out of 5 stars They're Even Better Than Before
I ordered these a year ago and they were fantastic. They lasted 12 hour shifts at work and were great for noise cancellatiom. Ordering a new pair now, they've only gotten better since my last purchase a year ago. The foam tips were improved and it came with this rubber channel to keep them around your neck which wasn't a thing when I ordered before. Mine were always loose and I needed something else to keep them from falling off my neck. I don't quite remember but it feels like they also included more rubber tips this time around too which I was always preferential to. I would always recommend them before but I didn't know about the new changes until now.
4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied so far
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful!
This was a very good concept. At first, these were perfect and I was so much happier at work. I think they work a bit TOO good because while it plugs out all the loud noise, my supervisors and co-workers can't talk to me without having to repeat themselves 5 times or having to pull out one or both plugs to hear them. Sometimes I would pull them out, and I think that is how I ran into some issues. These are fragile, and one of the plugs stopped working and stopped playing music and I am pretty sure it is from me yanking it out to hear my supervisors. We aren't allowed to have these on the floor, so in that department (unless your supervisors are super observant), they are well hidden and they are a good length. Just be careful with the product.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hearing protection and audio combined.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Listen To AudioBooks And Music While Working
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.
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. ?
4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, buy these!
Works very well for using as an ear plug. Sound quality is a little to be desired, but truthfully it’s worth the sacrifice. Battery longevity is amazing. Have never run out of battery life yet, even using for 9 hours almost steadily. Having a dual weight distribution keeps them centered all day. I have already purchased multiple pairs just in case! Definitely a must buy if you need earplugs and want music/podcasts/books while you work. Works very well for phone calls also. Have used with helmet on a motorcycle and also work well. Enjoy them!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best set of earplugs I've ever used.
These earplugs are one of the best things to ever happen in my life I have really sensitive hearing, and didn't even know it until I started using these. My sleep has really improved as a result of using the full-protection set, along with being able to focus better with the filtered set. They have good instructions in the box about how to put them in. If you put them in, and find that they don't really have an effect on your hearing; you probably didn't put them in right, because these definitely work, and are deigned to work with virtually any ear canal size. Another perk of these earplugs over others is that you get two different kinds, and two different tip types in one package, while the same price will only get you one set from another manufacturer that is probably priced Higher than this one. The tips are guaranteed to work for years, unless you do something to harm them directly; sturdy stuff them tips. Hope this review helps the customer, and the manufacturer. Have a wonderful day!
4.0 out of 5 stars Works well
These are great at work and no one knew I was using them. One downfall was I can't get orange replacement foam pieces except through the company. I did so but the mail person delivered them at the wrong address somi never received them. I'd rather go through amazon as I know they will get it to me.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound and stealthy
Sound is good, they don't cancel out the sound as good as a normal ear plug, but they will help cut down on shop noise. My personal experience is to buy a Bluetooth receiver on Amazon for $10 and plug the ear buds into it. They are stealthy and do not have all the extra addons so they look like legit chorded ear plugs.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good for mowing, maybe not as great for Metallica concerts.
Long story short: These last maybe 10 hours full charge but are comfortable and do block sound.... Somewhat. I use power tools and loud, whining electric tools all day for 10-12 hour shifts. I'd say i'd like to listen to different white noise, mostly what I call, music. But i didn't want to purchase portable speakers and add to that noise and I didn't want normal earbuds because they wouldn't block the noise and I would have louder noise directly in my ears. I also wanted wireless earbuds so the cords don't get caught in my tools. This product works well. The noise reduction is good enough for power tools and maybe loud traffic, but the NRR of 26 dB for the silicon plug adapters seem off. That rating should be the noise reduction adequate enough to take to a loud concert. I would not take the silicon or foam adapters to a concert. They block noise, but not that well. The Bluetooth works maybe 20-25 ft away from your device, but I don't expect these to work like a radio station or anything. The sound is above quality of your normal earbuds/headphones so it does justify the $100 price tag. All in all, i felt confident with my purchase and would do so again. Edit: Have used them pretty regularly for 5 years, still has 10 hour long battery life. Cable insulation has been torn from heavy use and pocket storage, but they still work the same as they did out of the box.
5.0 out of 5 stars Item is exactly as described and it is performing flawlessly
I purchased these to serve as dual purpose . I use them to help cancel noise at work as I am a diesel technician by trade and the environments I work on can be extremely noisy and I also use these at the gym . At work they do a really good job at lowering the surrounding noise and it allows me to continually learn as I prefer to listen to training and financial podcasts . They really shine for me at the gym as I can just about drowned out the music that is blaring in the facility . These provide an excellent range of volume and the battery life is better than any other previous pair I have owned ( 4th different ones I've tried ) . Overall I am very happy with this purchase !
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars So cool
I originally wrote a review that was not favorable on these. After I got over being mad at the manufacturer about them originally being ruined by sweat and not replacing them I tried many other types of noise-canceling earbuds. These really are the best you can get. They lasted six months of hard use, grease, dirt, being yanked out of my ears when they get snagged on something and completely soaked with sweat daily. I drive heavy equipment and really enjoy listening to contemporary yodeling with falsetto. To appreciate the beauty and talent associated with that it's imperative to hear it clearly. Nothing gets me as close as listening in the bathtub as these bad boys. I can drive the tractor and close my eyes and see myself in a meadow beneath the mountain where the notes are eccowing throughout the mountainside, harmonizing with the blades of grass as they move through the breeze. You can almost taste the pollen in the air from the crisp pine tree bleeding sap from the cracks in the bark from new growth in the spring after a hard snow. If you want that kind of satisfaction from earbuds buy two because in six months when you wear them out from daily use you wont want to miss a day of satisfaction. If I could rate this six stars I would.
I love these things, our shop doesn't allow music of any kind, i have been using these for quite some time with great success. The sound quality is really good if you are using the foam earplugs, you lose a lot of bass if you use the rubber ones, but they stay cleaner and are easier to use. The foam pads don't compact very well for insertion due to the hole down the center and can be a challenge to get in some times. I only give them 4 stars instead of 5 because the cord is too short based on the nature of how these are used. Since you have to hide the cord, it would be nice if i could run the cord down my back under my shirt then tuck it into my front pocket with my mp3 player. So i either have to buy an extension cord, or wear a undershirt with a pocket which adds a slight detection risk if your over-shirt is a thin material. It would be nice if the cord was a foot longer.
My house sits on 4 acres and that's quite a bit of mowing. I use my Plugfones under ear muff style hearing protection to enjoy music and cancel out the noise of my mowerT his was my second set of Plugphnes. My orinal set were about 3 years old and had become damaged due to negligence on my part. This Plugfone provide comfort, easily worn under rmuffs and will remain in place once inserted properly. Perfect for my needs.
5.0 out of 5 stars I should have bought more
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Should have bought sooner
These are awesome. I've bought several cheaper options trying to find something that could work like these but they were all a waste of money. These are so comfortable and sound great and really work as good Earplugs. I was standing right in the middle of a lawn mower, a generator, and an exterior HVAC fan and they were all nothing more then a dull hum smothered by the sounds of whatever music I had on. I then got the chance to use them for the original reason I wanted them to begin with. I do motorcycle track days so I'm out on a road course race track on a motorcycle, usually I just wear Earplugs, but I like listeting to music to get me pumped. Theaw worked like a charm, very easily able to put these in and then get my helmet on over them woth no snagging or pulling etc. It drowns out the motorcycle and the wind noise and shines through the music. 10/10 should have got these a year ago or more and will get them again immediately if these ever break or get lost.
4.0 out of 5 stars They are alright
They sound good and are decent for blocking out sound. Noise still leaks through and the cord is long and heavy with the gadgets needed for function. One would to well to clip a heavier section to an article of clothing if doing cardio. I wonder at times if I would be better served by my Workphones (muff style ear protection with bluetooth) while at the gym, since they seem to work better for blocking out sound. I suppose these are good for not looking outlandish while impatiently waiting for gym equipment and stifling the shouts of bros jacked up on preworkout
5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality
I had bought the plugfones guardian ear buds at a local hardware store and loved them. One side stopped working after about 9 months and I bought another pair and one side went out after about 9 months. Then I bought the basic ones because I never use the foam plugs just the silicone plugs and it was cheaper. The sound quality is good but not as good as the guardians but they have lasted over a year and are still going strong.
4.0 out of 5 stars Handy with average sound quality.
These are easy to use and the battery charge lasts a decent amount of time. The sound quality is average but adequate for my needs. I use them primarily for listening to podcasts while working and working out. I like having a backup set that is charged and ready for use. The price point seems a bit high for given the sound quality.
I own several now and love them. Comfortable to wear all day and cancel noise well
First off, dump the foam sleeve...useless. I wear these when I want to listen to music from my iPod or phone while riding my motorcycle. I have been wearing foam type earplugs while riding for over 30 years and searched for a while for a set of ear buds that would allow me to listen to music, reduce external noise, and stay in my ears under a helmet, and not cost me the proverbial appendage. These do the trick. Not as good at reducing ambient sound as plain foam types, but enough so that I can still hear the music without turning it up too loud and defeating the whole purpose of ear protection =) My only complaint is that it would be nice to have the cable coming out of the plugs at an angle, but it's not really an issue for me. I have -sold- these to several riding buddies that were previously using regular ear buds...including my girlfriend who was really happy with the improvement over her standard iPod buds. Been now using them for over five years, same pair, and showing some wear and tear so ordering another set (the gray ones). One piece of advice: the flanged silicone parts can get stuck in your ear and may need tweezers to be removed. Put a drop of cyano adhesive at the base where they insert over the plastic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good swap look-a-like ear plug and machine wash and drying is ok
Good swap look-a-like ear plug. Walk around a factory where we cannot wear ear buds but must have a ear plug that is OSHA approved. These gave been noticed by some and I have been reported, but o believe that is my fault for turning them off and on walking out the door at end of shift. Great sound quality and does a better job of canceling out noise than that of their counter part without the ear bud speakers!!! I've been using them for a year and have left them in my work jeans twice in the washer and dry and they work just as well as before.
5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable
Works like a charm. Great sound. Use around loud noises.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love
Absolutely love these. They cancel out so much outer noise and they don’t hurt my ears. Only downfall for me is the cord is super long.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great work remedy... MUST Read This!
Updated... I work in cold temps so I bought a Bluetooth device like TaoTronics Bluetooth AUX Adapter. sewed all in a cap and Bluetooth from a Samsung s5 256gb sd card 20000 songs. Phone ebay $50, and the rest @ $20 inexpensive for a great pc, High powered mp3 player you get from this setup. I don't use this as a phone except Wi-Fi app. Great setup. OLD review follows now- I love these. I did have a problem with the connector shorting out. My fault technically because I move around a lot. But cable build quality is not good. Only if they could make a nylon sheath around cable, this would be the product. Good bass and plugs are comfortable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Your permit to concealed carry a podcast at work!
As a welder, I’ve worked a handful of jobs managed by sadistic old geezers who don’t allow headphones OR radios, ever. As a lifelong learner that also has worked 60+ hours a week for three plus years now, being able to listen to podcasts and audiobooks is a necessity. Enter Plugfones! The answer to an entire generation’s cry for help! After a couple weeks testing it out and comparing it the blue and yellow ear protection at work, I finally came up with the ideal setup 1. Whatever pocket you carry your phone in, punch a small hole at the top and then, as best you can, sew around the edges to prevent us from enlarging. 2. Fit the Plugfones jack and an Apple dongle adaptor (for iPhone) the the hole you created and fortified. 3. Now run the earpieces around your side, up your back, and over your shoulders. Do this BEFORE you put your work shirt on. 4. Now, to prevent the Plugfones from getting dangerously tangled or suspiciously wrapped up, give the earpieces the proper slack (I measure by pulling down to centerline of my chest), then use gorilla tape or duct tape to secure the Y in the cord between your shoulder blades. 5. Enjoy audio practically risk free. I’ve been using this method at a very micromanaged, absurdly safety conscious manufacturing plant, and in 5 months no one has noticed or even given my “earplugs” a second though. Hiding in plain sight!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for motorcycle full face helmet
First impressions. Will re-review in a few months. These are fantastic on motorcycle with helmet at highway speeds. I searched the World Wide Web for weeks looking for this type of headphones for motorcycle riding. They don’t come out when putting on helmet. The sound is way better than expected. Even have decent enough bass. I don’t need to turn volume up to highest setting. I was really stunned how much ambient sound was being blocked out at speed when securely in ear. One issue I seem to have is pairing. I can’t seem to just turn them on and have them automatically connect to my iPhone. I have to long push from off to re-pair every time and manually connect from Bluetooth settings. Unlike every other speaker or ear buds I use. It’s weird. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I may be a dumdum. Battery life seems to be as advertised. Some other ratings say they stopped working after a year or something. We shall see. So far, excellent and decent price. Update. Been about 5 or 6 months. Still good. The first set of memory foam tips wore out and broke pretty quickly. Probably from trying to keep them clean. But the plasticy rubbery ones work great too. A little uncomfortable in ear but when riding don’t notice. Still love them.
I love 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!
5.0 out of 5 stars These things are great
These things have saved me from boredom at work. I stand at a machine all day with very few people around and having these and being able to listen to my music is awesome! I highly recommend these to anyone needing something to do while you're working in a plant. The noise cancellation is great so if you work in a place with forklifts I suggest lowering the volume while you're walking about, almost had a run in with one cuz my music was too loud. No one was hurt though and it wasn't that close of a call.
I love these things. I listen to music or podcasts all day while I'm at work. If the supervisor sees me, he just thinks I'm wearing earplugs. As other reviews have pointed out, they're not the most durable pair of headphones. My first pair lasted about 3 months and I quickly ordered a new pair. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to be using these 30-40 hours every week, they're worth every penny even if they do wear out. They make the work day go by faster and help you keep your sanity while doing boring and repetitive tasks. I'm glad they exist. I was actually pondering how I could make a pair of my own before I googled and saw that somebody already makes them. I recommend getting a little bluetooth receiver to stick in your back pocket and running the cord underneath your shirt. Helps keep it discreet, and you can quickly whip out your phone if you want to skip to another track, etc. and not have to worry about being tethered to a line.
I 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 !!
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars They work flawlessly
I cant use regular earbuds because the want stay in my ears, these stay put and work great easy to use 2 👍 👍
The top end isn't all hyped and crispy - the bottom end is what you'd expect for decent earbuds. But the fact that they are probably 20-23dB down on ambient noise - killer for MC riding with music/GPS/intercom systems (why I tried them). Two sets of foam earplug thingies for fit, and they don't interfere with helmet entry/exuit, nor do they feel pressure while wearing a MC helmet. Shy of custom fitted/molded headphones - these are a great hybrid of noise blockage and headphones. I'm an audio professional, and have tried MANY noise blocking headphones, especially for MC riding. Dont; waste your time with trying others, now I need to try the more expensive versions once I lose/ruin these!
5.0 out of 5 stars They work…..and they look like ear plugs!
In construction they don’t want you to listen to music on headphones or out loud half of the time. But if your headphones look like ear plugs…… ya they are great. Now I just want some that look like the push in ear plugs without the cord and I will be in heaven. Sound quality was ok but that’s fine there is a concrete saw in the background too. They are perfectly comfortable and legitimately cancel a ton of sound like legit ear plugs. Price is a little high but they market demand is kinda niche so I get it. Overall I’m 100% satisfied
4.0 out of 5 stars Serves it's purpose
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars I didn’t expect much, what a satisfying surprise...
I work at a machine shop, I’m historically rough with inexpensive things like these headphones or buds or whatever you want to call them AND I rarely write reviews. These stupid little ear plug fakers are GREAT! Despite the tiny gauge wire which I constantly tug on, they have yet to spark out on me even once! Look, for the price, get a set, can’t beat it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Plugfones are a Manual Laborer's Cheat Code
it worked about 4 months without a problem. 12 hour work shifts, in my ears all night. Its definitely worth the $20.00. When you see everyone looking depressed but you can smile and enjoy an audiobook during grueling repetitive work it makes you very thankful for these "plugfones". Anticipate the wiring to eventually work themselves out if you're doing manual work and occasionally get the wires caught on things and yanking... probably not safe letting the wires dangle, better to tuck them in your shirt if using heavy machinery. But I'm buying more and will continue. Might strip the sleeve and solder the wiring back... anyways... great investment... listen to audiobooks at work 🙂 get smarter while doing dummy work.
5.0 out of 5 stars These work very well
I work in a production environment and these work well for the floor. They work well for noise cancellation and I can still listen to my music. The cord length is long enough to tuck both the receiver and the control in the back of my shirt. Definitely would recommend.
So I owned a pair of plugfones prior to them updating this newer model and fell in love with them. However, their previous model didn't have the durability I was hoping for. I work in a factory setting with hard hats and earplugs are required. These nifty plugfones gave me the ear protection while still being able to listen to my tunes, whoever created these are genius! They look just like the ones at my work so don't draw much attention, and this newer version lets you choose wether you want the foam or silicone base. They seemed to hold up much better than the previous ones as my can be somewhat rough on these (I've dropped my hat with these attached many times). Pretty impressed with this product and have recommended to several coworkers.
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Buenos
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound
Great noise cancellation performance on these plugs and great sound quality as well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I was Looking For. Work Great and Holding Up Fine So Far.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for work!
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Motorcycle earbuds work fine
These work well to listen to audiobooks and music with normal volume levels while commuting on motorcycle using a full helmet. They block out the wind noise and I can listen at about the same levels as when I'm just walking with these in. The audio quality is not great not terrible. It's about what you would expect from headphones at this price. I've had them for about 2 months of commuting 3-5 days a week. They fit well and I don't have any trouble with them coming out while putting on a snug properly fitted full helmet. They haven't broken yet.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sanity Equalizer!
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 love these. Music not allowed at work i am able to listen to music still hear what I need to all while looking compliant. I just love music it helps drown out the day if coworkers are crappy or negative. My battery can make it from 4:30 am until around 1 or so.
Love em...bought these for work due to all the safety culture, which I fully endorse 🙂 …anyway... these block out 99% of the outside noise in the shop even without any music. With that being said, the sound quality of the music is not the greatest but more than adequate for tunes at work. Also, they're not as loud as the headphones you'd use at home, but with the ambient noise all blocked out, they don't have to be. drop that dime and get em', you wont be disappointed.
4.0 out of 5 stars Works great in loud places
Awesome product I work in manufacturing and can hear Awesome and still blocks out noise from my job can still hear someone if they need to talk to me do need to have your phone with you because if you get to far away it will break up
I wore these for the first time on my first long-distance motorcycle ride from St Louis to Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. Normally I am deaf after riding for a couple hours but I was perfectly fine after 8 hours on the motorcycle. The sound quality was great and they lasted the whole 8 hours. I definitely recommend them
4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice
I have used wired Plugphones for years and really like the sound for the compact fit. I use them inside a motorcycle helmet. The plugs reduce the ambient sound so well that I typically play music at the lowest volume. I got these wireless ones for use in the yard. Tested them out and sound is as good as the wired ones. The battery and controls parts that are attached via the cord are noticeable when compared to wires only. I did notice some interference from the electric leaf blower I was using. It is a pretty powerful blower with variable speed. I would think these would work great for any outdoor work. I will experiment with how I locate the cord around my neck to see about minimizing any interference.
I hook these up to my Sena 10C Evo while riding and my goodness my rides are like night and day prior to this. I have a modular helmet and when wearing plugfones the wind noise is barely noticeable at highway speeds. The silicone piece seems to fit more snug and comfortable to me but it's nice to have multiple options.
This is my second pair! I lost the first pair. I love these the noise reduction is is outstanding! Sound quality is great. Best part no one knows I’m wearing headphones! Battery lasts up to 10 hours!
4.0 out of 5 stars Required Safety Equipment
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.
These are perfect to block out machinery noise and still allow you to enjoy music. Are they Bose quality? No however they are the only plugs I’ve found to shut out tractor noise and allow listening to music without the bulk or heat of a headphone set. Allows me to wear a hat to shade from the sun.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great but need instructions
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars Worked great
Worked great right out of the box as they were already charged recharge them for work later that night, they worked great was able to get almost 8 hours of listening to music out of them before the battery died box says up to 10hrs so will see but overall so far great product I do know others with the same product that have an experienced any issues
4.0 out of 5 stars Not ideal for my application
I purchased these to use on my motorcycle to both block road noise and allow me to listen to music. Based on the price I didn't expect great sound quality. Still, I want to leave an honest review. They get 4 stars for the price and they are what they are advertised. Still, sound quality simply isn't there and the road noise still over powers them. They are very comfortable and for other applications I am sure they would be great. For a full face motorcycle helmet and an android phone my experience was not exactly what i would want. For my woodworking stuff and to keep around for other projects they are ideal.
4.0 out of 5 stars They stay in when you put your helmet on.
Great, I use it on the motorbike. The cords are a little too long for me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound quality, and great noise reduction
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.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Work good
Havent had these very long but they work well. I am impressed with the noise cancelling mic. Callers never have a problem hearing me in very loud environments. The only two things that could be improved on is battery life- from my experience the battery will last about 6-8 hours and the storage case they come in could be a little larger. Sometimes it's tough to fit everything back in.
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice wireless upgrade to the original wired Plugfones
These headphones are very much like the wired version of plugfones. I always loved my plugfones because I have a small ear canal and the soft foam earplug style headphones are the only earbuds I can wear comfortably. These fit identical. Sound quality is a little bit better then the wired set. Battery life is very good and got me through a 12 hour flight. The review states "noise canceling", but they are really "noise isolating" and do it as well as any foam earplugs. When watching videos, Bluetooth latency is present but fairly small. Maybe around 150 milliseconds. Not ideal, but you can get used to it. Still, I would very likely break out my wired plugfones if watching a movie. No idea how battery life will hold out in the long term, but as with any lithium battery powered device, charging should only be done when necessary to maximize lifespan. UPDATE: I dropped my rating to 4 star due to an annoying feature. When the battery gets low, it will interrupt your audio and announce the battery is low, put it on a charger. I would be fine with that except this announcement occurs once per minute with a low battery. If the mfg is paying attention to these reviews, please change this to be a single announcement per power cycle with a final warning before shutdown, but no other.
4.0 out of 5 stars Motorcycle Riders
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Headphones
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...
5.0 out of 5 stars Work great!
These are great! Easy to conceal under collar,hat, shirt if need be. They definitely reduce outside noise when used correctly. Sound quality, battery life are above what I expected. Well worth the money.
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'
I use this product at work to listen to music and get in lectures from my college courses. They fool our safety guy all the time he just thinks they’re earplugs and that’s what I bought them for
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT headphones for riders
Up until now, I've been using regular earbud type headphones to listen to music while I ride. I figured that they were fine for blocking out a lot of the wind/road noise from riding. After using these Plugfones, I realized how wrong I was. It's almost a night and day difference with these. They block out a LOT of the wind and road noise that the earplugs I've used previously just did not. I've noticed that I don't need to crank up the volume as loud to hear my music now either. They fit really well and are very comfortable. These are my dedicated headphones for riding when I want to listen to music or get GPS through my phone. The only drawback on these is that there is no microphone or inline volume controls. That's not a big deal really, as long as you expect it. Highly recommend these for riders. For the record, my combo is: '16 XSR900 with full exhaust and HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet
I am writing this review 6 months after initially buying them June 6th 2017: Good sound quality, has great clean bass and low-end. I ride a fairly loud cruiser-style motorcycle. They block sound very well, even without music playing they greatly reduce the wind noise at high speeds. They even stay snug in my ears on the highway, and fit comfortably in my full faced helmet. A couple of weeks ago, the left earbud started to cut out and now does not work at all. HOWEVER-- I was very rough on them. They whipped around in the wind everyday commuting to work on my bike, had cord jerked out of jack by catching it with my arm or dropping phone, were carelessly thrown into pockets and backpacks where they got tangled all the time, and even got washed and dried in the laundry last fall. So you pretty much just get what you pay for, only $25 and they last 6 months to maybe a year of very hard daily use. If you take care of your things better or just want something to listen to on the bus or subway, who knows they could last a while.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very discrete, could not be happier with these
These have worked great for a month now, sound quality seems just as good as other standard ear buds. Actually I'd say they're easier to hear(especially in loud environments) because they fit snug in your ear. I work in a plant where earplugs are mandatory and personal listening devices are forbidden, with the cord running down the back of my shirt into my Galaxy S5 in my front pocket no ones the wiser. I wear these working around 15+ automatic table saws and don't even have to turn my phones volume up all the way to listen to siriusxm talk radio(hey now ;)). Regular ear buds would need to be cranked. They seem durable enough so far but I'm here to buy a back up pair just in case. Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars They’re pretty good
I wear these for work. I use the pugs that came already attached. And they only last two days. Then I used the other pair. They are a little small. But as long as you insert these properly they work well. I work in an extremely loud factory.
4.0 out of 5 stars bought because my company banned headphones and cell phones on the floor.
Ok Ill start by saying I read reviews of these and was leary but purchased anyway and so far one week in and 8 hrs a day they have been pretty good. The sound suppression as far a hearing protection works for what I need however in a very loud environment the silicone plugs wont cut it, Im sure the foamies will work better but there are not replacements for them and foamies are not cleanable. As for the sound quality, Certain songs come through a little tinny but what do you expect from a tiny speaker, sound quality depends on getting them to the right depth in your ear. Battery life has been great 8 hr shift no charging. You cant pause play on an mp3 player but volume adjust works. The range actually surprises me at times. Now to the important part the battery and controls hide under your shirt collar so far no one has questioned that they are ear plugs and I get to keep listening to my music so the night goes by faster. All in all Id definitely buy them again. I use these with a sandisk sport mp3 player that has bluetooth.
5.0 out of 5 stars Woow Insert Correctly and Woow
I was really impressed by this. As long as you insert foam correctly in the ear. They sound great ! for only this Price 5 Stars! i Love headphones i spend money on Beats, Bose, ect. Of course they do not sound like expensive headphones but they do not sound distorted and they do not stay behind in my opinion.. Great Product . 5 Stars
5.0 out of 5 stars Work good, battery lasts great
These are great for work. Noise suppression is good and the sound is decent, the noise cancelation isn't as good as advertised according to people I've talked to while using them earbuds.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Basic
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!
