Plugfones Basic Earplug-Earbud Hybrid - Noise Reducing Earphones - Purple

No perceptible sound reduction when worn, therefore pointless! Audio quality was also appalling for the price.

I was very happy to find these still being sold. I caught one of the ear pieces from my first pair in a door and broke them. I was extremely sad because they work perfectly. So very glad I could replace the broken pair. Will buy a least 2 just in case they stop being sold.

I bought these to plug into the radio in my team's race car. They significantly reduced the nose when racing while allowing me to hear radio communications. They seemed a bit fragile, so I replaced them with a more expensive set. Since then I've been using these as secondary hearing protection while mowing my yard, under a set of ear muffs. I can listen to music with good fidelity while mowing! I've caught the cord on tree branches and ripped them out of my ears. I forgot them in my pocket and ran them through the washing machine. They still work like new, although the green strain relief nubs long ago came loose and sit at the cords' V. I highly recommend them.

The bass isn’t very good. And they don’t last very long. They last me around 2 months, but considering the environment I work in. And the fact I’m not allowed to listen to headphones. So for these looking like earbuds while making my day easier. Well worth the money. At all times I have a back up pair in my tool Box. After months of listening to music and podcasts I can’t go without.

These things are insane i forgot them in my pockets and ended up washing them ans drying them twice . when i got them out the where tangled mess I untangled them and to my suprice they still work like new .my only issue with them is you have to have the volume up kinda high to hear it over equipment but I have wired shaped ears .a thats another thing they fit funny in my odd shaped ears but I love them there perfect to lesson to music or books while working a very boaring factory job and they still block out some of the damaging noise form your ears . and they look like safty plugs so the safety department wont yell at you for not haveing your plugs in

They materials feel cheap, the sound is tinny, and I detect zero bass while listening. However, they did survive a wash in my washing machine, and they do keep other sounds out better than your average earplug - so...for what it costs, I suppose it is satisfactory enough. That said, I hope they, and other manufacturers respond to the complaints though. It's a terrific idea, just needs better quality materials, a more snug fit, and better quality sound, and then they would have a real winner here.
