Product Overview
The PW74 Dual SNR Ear Defenders represent a significant advancement in personal hearing protection. Rather than forcing a choice between over-protection and insufficient safety, these innovative ear defenders allow the user to manually toggle between two distinct protection levels: SNR 25dB and SNR 35dB. This versatility ensures that you remain protected in high-decibel environments while maintaining a necessary level of auditory awareness when noise levels subside.
Key Features
- Manual Dual Attenuation: The ability to switch from SNR 25dB to SNR 35dB provides tailored protection, allowing for better communication or situational awareness without removing the equipment.
- Visual Level Indicators: The selected SNR level is clearly displayed on the ear cup, which is vital for safety officers and users to verify that the correct level of attenuation is being utilised for the specific task.
- Material Excellence: Constructed using robust ABS for the shell and TPE for the soft components, these defenders are built to withstand the rigours of daily industrial use.
- Certified Safety: Fully compliant with EN 352-1 standards, giving you the assurance that your hearing is being protected by a tested and regulated safety product.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a focus on both safety and physical comfort, the PW74 utilizes a lightweight yet durable ABS plastic frame. The ear cups are designed to provide a consistent acoustic seal against the head. The performance lies in the manual adjustment mechanism; it is designed to be simple to operate even while wearing gloves, allowing for seamless transitions between different work zones.
The use of TPE in the seals ensures that the pressure against the ears is distributed evenly, reducing the fatigue often associated with long-term wear of hearing protection. These are substantial enough to offer high-level protection while remaining lightweight enough for a full shift's duration.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on these ear defenders because any alteration to the ear cup could compromise the acoustic integrity of the product. Furthermore, keeping the exterior clear ensures that the SNR level indicators remain visible and that the safety certification remains valid for your protection.
Use Cases
These ear defenders are specifically designed for professionals working in environments with fluctuating noise levels. They are ideal for construction sites, manufacturing plants, and engineering workshops where machinery may be switched on and off throughout the day. They are also highly effective for grounds maintenance teams working with varying types of powered equipment.

Our selection of PPE is curated by experts who understand the practical needs of the British workforce, ensuring you receive high-quality equipment that does the job properly.
Practical Advice
When using dual-level ear defenders, always ensure you are familiar with the ambient noise levels of your environment before selecting your setting. For the best seal, ensure that hair and eyewear arms do not interfere with the contact between the ear cushions and your head, as even a small gap can significantly reduce the protection provided.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance levels of your ear defenders and ensure the acoustic seals remain effective, a regular cleaning routine is essential. Neglecting the cleanliness of the ear cushions can lead to material hardening and a loss of protection.
We recommend wiping the ear cushions and the ABS frame with a damp cloth and mild soapy water after use. You must avoid using harsh chemical solvents or petrol-based cleaners, as these can degrade the TPE and ABS materials, potentially causing the plastic to become brittle or the seals to lose their flexibility.
Always store your ear defenders in a cool, dry place when not in use. Exposure to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight can warp the headband and affect the tension required to hold the ear cups firmly against your head, which would ultimately diminish the effectiveness of the hearing protection.
