Able to fit most ears due to the double-flange stem design it features a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates the patented Hocks Noise Braker filter.

Reviews

Solid Choice

"These earplugs were purchased at a discount and they are exceptional. I use them with the little red inner plugs installed and shoot without any ear ringing. They also stay put once placed into my ears."

DANIEL G. (5/5)

Not Great

"Poor quality. Basic plugs work better"

Paul A. (1/5)

Great plugs!

"These are great! I had a pair from 10 years ago and they finally gave out. Ordered these and these are even better! The neck cord is a life saver (and plug saver). Keeps you from loosing them in your pockets!"

Marc F. (5/5)

Decent product

"No issues with the ear pro. Ordered for my daughter to teach her how to shoot."

Aaron (4/5)

Can't go wrong

"Great pair of ear protection pieces! Definitely add a pair to your kit"

Perry (5/5)

Better deal

"I discovered the sonics some years back and found them to be excellent hearing protection as I use the sonics as well as the mickey mouse's as well. I reached out to you for replacements as you seemed to have the better deal on the price."

Daniel S. (5/5)

Sonic Defender Ear plugs

"Have used this carrier for less than three months and its already coming apart. There are multiple points where the material is being worn away showing white through the navy. I am going to have to stop using it because it is looking so bad"

David (5/5)

Good job of protecting hearing -- still able to hear most things

"Sets you in a bit of the old West in Spanish style the"

Ron A. (4/5)

Excellent

"Received this as a gag, because it has become my nickname. Not appropriate for duty wear but a great morale patch, and I have it attached to an old Velcro sleeve jacket I wear off duty."

Mike (5/5)

great for work..

"I'm not an EMT or FD or LE... just a guy who likes to be prepared and have gear that works. I haven't used these a ton yet, but I like what I see so far. First, you can't beat the price... especially for a non-professional. I like that there were a lot of color options; The bright orange I wanted was sold out (figured it would be easier to find at a campsite etc. if I dropped them), so I went with my stand-by gear color of OD Green. These are full size, but are a perfect fit in my Maxpidition Fatty Organizer. That makes it easy to keep on hand without being overt or putting them in an awkward spot. Since this is my first pair of EMT shears, I don't really have any to compare to, but I know the equipment's reputation from friends in the field that swear by having a good pair with you; on the job or off. I know these are all tacticool with the blacked out metal parts etc. and that's ok. I was more impressed with the price and color options. These cut right through a penny as they're reputed to do. The handles are comfortable in hand. But, the action on them is kinda stiff. I'm not sure if that's normal for these types of shears or if it is the black coating or the hinge or just the way these blades scissor. I'm hoping that they loosen up a little over time."
