Plugfones Basic Wired Earplug Headphones for Work, OSHA PPE Earbuds, 3.5mm

I bought a pair of these back in 2016 or 2017 and loved them. I drive a forklift in a factory and the little paper that comes with them rate them for 26 Decibels. OSHA fined my company for a noise violation in 2018 and we were required to build sound proof (resistant) walls around certain machinary to knock the noise pollution down and we were required to were earbuds AND ear muffs as well until the walls were produced. I only ever wore these headphones and I couldn't ear much of anything. They for sure work well. The audio quality that comes through is clear and great quality. As far as the durability goes, I get them caught on the forklift straps and controls fairly often and get them ripped out of my ears and I just ordered a second pair of these a few days ago. They last for ever. Mine finally gave out after a little over 3 years right around where you plug it into the phone jack. More than likely where I sit on that portion of the wire and rub it constantly where im getting on and off the truck during 12 hour shifts. I 100% recommend these for anyone who wants a set of noise cancelling headphones. No need to buy $300 head phones to cancel out noise when these work amazing.

Bought them to use in my motorcycle helmet with my Sena. Works perfectly. I wouldn't dare compare them to any actual earbuds for music. Compared to my Sena speakers with normal -35dB ear plugs they sound great. I did notice the helmet can tweak them in a way that blocks the sound and makes one side inaudible. Overall, I think I'll be using these daily now. Now if only they made some with a 7-9" cable for the short run in a helmet

I love plugphones. They block out all the sound and l can listen to my music. I use them daily. Only down fall is they only last 4 to 6 months of daily use. I usually go through 2 to 3 pairs a year. I wish they were more durable and would last a year but they are reasonable priced. My hearing is worth it. The clarity is good and they have a good fit. There soft and don't hurt my ears, I don't even notice there in. They can be worn for hours without hurting.

Easy to use. Comfortable Earphones. Great sound and easy to wear. No batteries needed. The perfect earphones for your cellphone!!!

I have been using these Plugfones at work, and so far, no one has noticed. The sound is quite good. I listen to audiobooks as well as music. I work in a very loud environment. Because these block out much of the surrounding noise, I can keep the volume of my media quite low, and still understand every word. I have noticed some reviews stating that these are "uncomfortable". It is understood that these are not as comfortable as other types of earbuds. Earbuds are much more comfortable than earplugs. This is a given. However, you generally cannot wear earplugs and earbuds at the same time. That's what makes these Plugfones so unique! Since hearing protection is Mandatory where I work, I am used to using earplugs. These are as comfortable as any provided by the company. Headphones and earbuds, of any kind, are not allowed where I work. According to management, they are "Not OSHA Authorized", and therefore not safe. The company provides earplugs that have a "Noise Reduction Rating" of 28 or 29 decibels. These Plugfones have a "Noise Reduction Rating" of 25 decibels. Therefore, even if they did notice, according to their own criteria, these are legal. If you have found these Plugfones, then you have most likely been searching for the same reasons I was. I highly recommend these. Update: I have seen multiple reviews that say these don't last. Hogwash! I have been using these Plugfones for about 2 months now. I have yet to have any problems with the wires, sound quality, or external noise reduction. When you take the plug out of your ear, grab the Plug...Not the Wire. Just like unplugging something from the wall. I have accidentally yanked the plug out of my ear by catching the wire when I was busy. They still work great. If you are going to use these at work, don't complain about the sound quality. In reality, you cannot appreciate the sound quality of ANY headphones in an industrial environment. The ambient noise is just too distracting. Besides, you are supposed to be listening for alarms, fork truck horns, etc. These are designed to allow you to listen to music in the workplace while maintaining a level of safety. If you use common sense, and don't blast the volume, you can enjoy the media of your choice without getting into trouble with management.

This is the second pair I’ve bought. I had each right at a year and one side of them stopped working. As far as comfort, they get 5 stars. Fit: 4 stars. Very upset both pairs had one of the earpieces stop working right around the one year mark. I stored them properly in their cas when not in use.

Used these with my Cardo Packtalk Bold because I couldn’t hear my intercom or music without it being at full volume blowing my ear drums out because of the wind noise. By far the best upgrade and purchase I could’ve done, well worth the money. They fit great, can’t feel the wires at all, work great, are washable, etc. Will be buying these again for any other helmet comms I need.

I've had these since October 2023, it is Feb 28, 2024. They have been great for work. I just plug them into a bluetooth adapter and drop the cord and adapter down the front of my shirt. No one can tell I'm listening to music, podcasts etc. I did notice that they seemed to put out less volume over the last couple weeks. I work in machine shop where the sound level is about 80 decibels and even with my volume turned all the way up I was having a hard time hearing them. I guess the speakers must have worn out. So I ordered another pair, I got the Endurance ones instead of the basic. I just tried them out today and wow, what a difference! For just a couple bucks more the sound is definitely better. So nothing wrong with the basic, they worked great for over a year, no problem with wires coming out or anything, the silicone plugs are still like new. If you need to be discrete these thing are great!

Great db reduction whilst directly being able to listen to music, minus on star because I didnt found them comfy for my ears on longer trips.

Die PlugFones SB-002 Gehörschutz sind einfach top! Der Tragekomfort ist hervorragend, die Ohrstöpsel passen sich gut an und sind angenehm zu tragen, auch über längere Zeiträume. Besonders gefällt mir, dass sie gleichzeitig Gehörschutz bieten und gleichzeitig eine gute Soundqualität haben – perfekt für laute Umgebungen. Die Gelbe Farbe ist ein schöner Hingucker und sorgt für gute Sichtbarkeit. Ob auf Baustellen, bei lauten Events oder einfach beim Arbeiten in einer lauten Umgebung, diese PlugFones sind eine super Wahl, um sowohl Gehörschutz als auch Musik zu genießen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Totally love the ear plug headphones! Paired it together with a Bluetooth receiver to link to my phone to play music. Ya sure the bass isn’t great but im sure my ears would be hurting if I was listening to music for 10 hours a day. Definitely recommend these!

very happy with these

Déjà ma deuxième paires là première m’a fait 3 ans et demi et je l’utilisait tout les jours non stop très résistant Je recommande merci plugfones
