Elgin Ruckus Earplug Headphones, ANSI Certified 25dB Noise Reduction, IP65 Rated for Dust and Water Resistance, Ideal for Construction and Outdoor Work, Durable w/Kevlar-Braided Cables, Stealth Black

Top-Tier Ear Protection With Amazing Sound – Built for the Job Site!
These earbuds are hands down the best I’ve used for noisy work environments. The 25 dB NRR really makes a difference—whether I’m using power tools or just surrounded by machinery, I can actually control what I hear instead of being overwhelmed by constant noise. Plus, they’re OSHA-compliant, which gives me peace of mind about protecting my hearing.And here’s the kicker: the sound quality is incredible. I wasn’t expecting much, but the immersive audio and biocompatible silicone tips that form a complete seal deliver rich, clear sound while still reducing outside noise. Perfect for enjoying music, podcasts and audiobooks.

Read this if you’re planning on using this for an industrial radio. (UPDATE)
I’m going to lead with the fact that I work as a millwright and bought these for my work radio. It’s a Motorola CP200d. That’s less important for compatibility than your handset though, make sure yours has an audio jack before buying, not all radio handsets do. (90 day update at the bottom.)The sound dampening is good, they function as regular ear plugs and I don’t feel like my hearing is in danger even in the loudest parts of the mill.The fit is decent, I’m not normally a fan of the flanged silicone style ear plug, I’ve always found them painful in my ears by the end of the day, but these are made from a very soft silicone that’s grippy but not uncomfortable.The sound quality is decent but nothing to write home about. I would have rated higher, but there’s a concussive burst at the start of each transmission that’s distracting till you get used to it, which takes a few hours. Other than that I can hear pretty clearly and it’s helping a lot with my ability to communicate when I’m working in high noise areas, particularly when I have to have muffs over my plugs.My actual cons for this are in the pic. The plugs stuck straight out of my ears. A bend at the end of the plug would be a huge benefit because it bumps into things in close quarters which is distracting, and I can’t wear a beanie over my hears. The latter is my biggest issue, we’re in the actually cold part of winter out here on the Washington coast and I have to work outside in the rain and sleet a lot, and my ears are getting cold.My other con is that the wire is super stiff, which makes it a little hard to route so that it stays out of the way and won’t get snagged.If I were to give feedback to Elgin, I would say to add a bend to the plug end and use a more flexible cord coating like a braided sheath, you could probably lose the nice storage case to keep the cost similar to what it is. Several guys I work with also bought these, and since we have personal radios we don’t have much need for the storage because they stay plugged into our hand sets while they’re charging.UPDATEI bought 2 pairs so I’d have a backup. The first pair finally died, the speaker blew out. I switched over to my spare and out of the box it has a weird issue.The sound is clear and clean, but when someone else is on the radio it will start at full volume and then very quickly fade out to almost no volume, this is a QC issue so I’m not too upset and have ordered another pair. The first pair pasting almost 3 months of hard use combined with the price still makes these a good buy for me, even if there is an occasional QC miss.

With Etymotic going up-market these may be the best option for work, but sound reduction below spec
Cost effective, but they don’t reduce noise as well as dedicated earplugs, nor as well as my Etymotic headphones. Given that both products claim around the same dB of sound reduction, I have to conclude that the Elgin’s are not living up to their spec. In a wood shop I would use them under earphones for additional sound reduction because of this. Audio quality is quite poor. There are plenty of comparably priced in ear monitors (ex- Truthear Gates) that offer mild sound reduction and much better sound quality. The higher priced Elgin’s with the dual drivers are better but still not very good. Also, these don’t stay in my ears terribly well despite using a relatively snug fit. They seem to just squeeze themselves out.

Rode 2000 miles around Europe with these under the bike helmet. Cuts down the roar of the road and bike by about 50% , so you can still hear enough of what’s around you , while getting a feed of music and directions from your phone too.Used in conjunction with a little APEKX Bluetooth receiver in my inside pocket , so my phone could be charging at the same time on the handlebars.

Si calidad de sonido es muy buena y el aislamiento es adecuado, aunque no he podido probarlo en mi trabajo. Deben considerar que la longitud del cable es algo corta comparado con audífonos similares (es una tercera parte más corto que los plugfones básicos y un poco menos que unos audífonos Sony in-ear baratos), por lo que si lo van a usar con un celular o un reproductor MP3 deben tenerlo a la altura de la cintura como mínimo.
