Design & Performance
Constructed from durable ABS with comfortable PU foam ear cushions, these ear defenders are designed for prolonged wear in challenging conditions. The choice of materials ensures a robust outer shell capable of withstanding the rigours of a busy worksite, while the interior cushioning provides a soft, secure seal against the head to maintain the acoustic barrier. This lightweight yet substantial build ensures that the wearer remains comfortable and protected during extended periods of use. The SNR 29dB rating indicates a high performance in dampening disruptive frequencies, which is vital for maintaining long-term auditory health in loud environments.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on these electronic ear defenders. This is a deliberate decision based on safety and structural integrity. Modifying the surface of the ear cups or the headband could potentially compromise the acoustic seal or damage the sensitive internal electronic components. To ensure the product maintains its certified SNR rating and technical performance, it is sold as-is to guarantee your safety.
Use Cases
These ear defenders are ideal for individuals working in high-noise environments where situational awareness or communication is still required. This includes plant operators, warehouse staff using heavy machinery, and construction professionals. They are also particularly useful for those who spend significant time on site and need to manage phone calls or coordination without moving to a quieter area, which may not always be safe or practical.

Practical Advice
When using electronic ear defenders, ensure that the headband is correctly adjusted to create a tight, consistent seal around the ears. Any gaps will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the hearing protection. If you are layering these with other PPE, such as safety glasses, look for thin-templed frames that will not disrupt the ear cushions' seal. We also recommend fully charging the device before your first shift to ensure you benefit from the full call time capacity.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your electronic ear defenders, it is important to keep them clean and dry. After use, wipe the exterior ABS shell and the PU foam cushions with a soft, damp cloth to remove any sweat, oils, or dust. This prevents the premature degradation of the foam and maintains proper hygiene. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the unit, as these can damage the plastic and electronic housing.
Store your ear defenders in a cool, dry place when not in use. Constant exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures can affect the battery life and the integrity of the electronic circuits. Ensure the USB port is kept free of debris to maintain a reliable charging connection. Regularly inspect the ear cushions for signs of wear; if the foam becomes hardened or cracked, the acoustic seal may be compromised, and the effectiveness of the protection will diminish, requiring the unit to be replaced.
