Product Overview
The PW Classic Plus Ear Defenders are a fundamental component of site safety, engineered to provide consistent hearing protection without the burden of excessive weight. As part of our comprehensive hearing protection range, these ear muffs are designed for individuals who require reliable noise attenuation over extended periods. The striking red finish ensures high visibility, which is essential for safety compliance and easy identification on busy sites.
Key Features
- Adjustable Length: The flexible frame allows for a precise fit across various head shapes, ensuring the cups maintain a secure and effective seal against the ears.
- Padded Headband: Soft cushioning on the headband reduces pressure points, making these ear defenders significantly more comfortable for full-shift wear.
- Lightweight Construction: By utilising modern polymers, these defenders provide robust protection while remaining exceptionally light, which helps to prevent neck fatigue during long working days.
- SNR 27dB Protection: Certified to EN 352-1 standards, these defenders offer a Single Action Rating of 27dB, providing vital protection against harmful noise levels in industrial environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of the PW Classic Plus is rooted in its material composition. The cups are constructed from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a high-impact plastic known for its toughness and ability to withstand the rigours of a professional workplace. Supporting this is a frame made from Polyoxymethylene and PVC, providing the necessary flexibility to ensure the cups stay firmly in place.
This combination of materials ensures that the ear defenders remain resilient even in challenging conditions. The lightweight nature of the design does not compromise its durability; instead, it enhances the user's ability to maintain focus on the task at hand without the distraction of uncomfortable or heavy equipment.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific product. As a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), any modification to the headband or the acoustic cups could compromise the structural integrity and the acoustic seal of the device. To ensure your safety and maintain the validity of the EN 352-1 certification, these are sold in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These ear defenders are an excellent choice for professionals across a wide variety of sectors. They are particularly suited for those working in construction, plumbing, and electrical trades where machinery noise is a constant factor. Additionally, their reliable performance makes them ideal for specialised roles in aviation, welding, and tree surgery, as well as for mechanics and carpenters who operate high-decibel power tools.

Practical Advice
To achieve the stated protection level, ensure that the ear cushions form a complete seal around your ears. Hair, spectacles, or thick clothing caught between the cushion and your head will break this seal and significantly reduce the effectiveness of the hearing protection. We recommend adjusting the headband length so that the cups sit centrally over the ears for the most secure fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and hygiene of your ear defenders, you should regularly wipe the cups and cushions with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Keeping the cushions clean ensures they remain soft and flexible, which is critical for maintaining a proper acoustic seal over time.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning, as these can degrade the ABS and PVC components, potentially leading to cracks or material failure. Ensure the product is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which prevents the materials from becoming brittle and ensures they are ready for your next shift.
