  • NRR 27
If you frequently move from noise producing tools (like a table saw or planer) to handwork at a bench, you know how aggravating it can be to remove earplugs and re-insert them when needed. This economical and effective, band-type hearing protector provides exceptional noise attenuation and allows you to simply hang the band around your neck when not in use. Most hearing bands are not very comfortable because the plugs don't enter the wearer's ears at the right angle. The band of this connector is so flexible that you can practically tie it in a knot! Its unique curvature helps prevent the ear pods from picking up debris if you place them on a surface covered in sawdust. Includes one pair of replacement pods. Made in Mexico.
