Plugfones Basic Pro Earplug Headphones Wireless Bluetooth in-Ear Earplug Earbuds 25 dB Noise Reduction Rating OSHA Approved Hearing Protection with Noise Isolating Mic and Controls (Blue & Yellow)

Great OSHA-approved noise-canceling headphones that fit comfortably like earplugs. They’re lightweight yet very durable, and the connectivity range from pocket to earpieces is excellent.

If i could give this product 6 stars I would. The volume can go so high it HURTS, far louder than any of my other earbuds. They do work as normal ear plugs without music playing. But, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the buttons and battery are far enough down the wire i can easily hide them in my T-shirt! My supervisor can suck a ****!

These are a decent set of ear plug/phones. Very discreet. Look exactly like safety plugs when tucked in the back of your shirt. The cord is very long to allow for the control module and battery to hide in the back of your shirt. On that note, The control module and battery seem to be noticeable under a t-shirt but if attention isn’t brought to it, it won’t be noticed by others I don’t think. I noticed them in the mirror but I know it’s there. Someone else may see it and wonder what is slightly bulging from your shirt. Under the right shirt it shouldn’t be noticed. Especially a shop shirt or collared shirt. Sound quality: Gas station speakers The gas station sound quality can be expected considering the goal is to look like safety plugs. I wouldn’t complain if the quality improved considering the price point of $50. I could see these being sold for $39.95 I was hesitant on buying these because of the price point and expecting them to sound like a gas station speaker. I was not disappointed. But since my employer implemented no more earphones and mandatory ear plugs, I wanted to be able to make the appearance of compliance and have my music. Getting the idea from other employees made me look and I found these. Right out of the box they have a great battery life! They still allow for some entertainment to help pass the time. Not too loud to the point of distraction. The highs can be very shrill but nothing that turning the volume down won’t fix. If the sound quality was better I’d give it a 5 stars and be really happy paying $50. I’ll still use them because they get the job done. The boss and suck up hall monitor employees don’t realize they are Bluetooth. For that reason I am pleased. I would still recommend them to others. Just wish the price was lower and the sound quality could be better if at all possible. Update: had these for a couple weeks now and they are still doing great! After playing around with the positioning of the buds I was able to get better sound quality from them. It helps to put them in a little deeper. But not too deep! Still could use a little more bass but giving the nature of the product they sound very nice. They look exactly like safety plugs and raise no awareness from the boss man or what I like to call “hall monitors”. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear your surroundings. Pause the track with your smart watch if applicable. I still recommend these. I will also say that with the battery pack and control pack on the wires they tend to fall down the back of my shirt creating a tugging on the ears. I have to pull them back up. If they aren’t in my ears then they will fall down my shirt. It comes with a clip to help this situation but I’d have to put the clip so it doesn’t draw attention. So I don’t use it and just deal with the tugging. Still a nice set of phone plugs and they are OSHA compliant!

This was a great item until the spongy earplugs split on one side. This happened after only 2 months of careful and occasional use. I have contacted the seller and hope they honor their no hassle warranty. Next time, I will choose silicone or other material ear pieces rather than foam. I use them whole riding motorcycles, and they work great for that as they allow you to hear your surroundings and your tunes (via Bluetooth) but yet cuts way down on harmful noise. They are easy to set up. Kind of a hassle to insert correctly, but again, I know I chose the foam earplugs and I attribute that to the material. Update- this company contacted me and made it right by sending me a whole new pair. While the spongy material is the same, I know to be very careful with it and hopefully it will last longer. The product itself has great sound and blocks my motorcycle noise just enough to be safe but yet here are my tunes and protect my ears.

I've had two regular Plugphones that were wired and both ultimately started failing because I kept catching the wire and jerking on them while mowing. So I decided to get these bluetooth ones to prevent that. They work reasonably well (though they definitely sound worse), and they have the benefit of letting me change songs and volume without getting my phone out. My biggest issue with them though is that the cord connecting them is WAAAY too long. It's always sliding around on my neck from one side to the other and just being an annoyance when it never needed to be that long to begin with. No one's ears are two feet apart. For mowing the yard, I can tolerate the annoyance and below average audio quality, but if you're someone who's gonna work in these all day or something, go for something better.

I got these earbuds in March 2023 and I use them when I mow my lawn, which takes about an hour. The sound quality is good and generally, I could get 3-4 hours' use from a single charge when they were new. Now in Sept/October 2023 the battery seems to be bleeding down. On a fresh charge, I can go through one mowing and be left with ~60% charge. However, the next week when I pick them up to mow again expecting to have that 60% remaining charge, I have zero. The battery seems to be draining down when they're not in use. It looks like I'll have to adopt a new routine - charge them up the day before I plan to mow or something like that. Update May 2024 I got a replacement pair they worked fine until this weekend. I had used them while mowing my lawn as I normally do (see above); it was hot and I was sweaty. When I finished, I went to turn the power off (to conserve battery, also see above), and I didn't get the "power off" response as I normally do. After that, I got a lot of static, then lost connection. I restarted both my phone and the plugfones but haven't been able to connect since. I charged them up overnight just to be sure about the battery and still can't connect. I think these are done. They were nice while they lasted - roughly 6-8 months. Whatever I buy next, I will spend less money and just expect a short life.

I wish I had found out about these headphones a while ago. I have someone in my house that will not stop clearing their throat loudly and coughing almost every minute (sometimes every 10 sec.). They refuse to see a doctor to get help and they don’t care if it bothers me. So THANK YOU Plugphones!! Thank you for a product that works fantastic!. It cancels out the background noise and I can listen to music, podcast, videos etc.. without being bother by the constant coughing and throat clearing. I am extremely happy these headphones work so well. One thing—- You do have to get them in your ear properly or it doesn’t work as good but I just kept adjusting them till it drowned out the noise. Now I can walk around the house without being so stressed about the repetitive loud noise and listen to relaxing music. They are well made and keep their charge so far. Just barely got them a couple of weeks ago. Excellent headphones. Oh and they connected easily to Bluetooth.

I bought these headphones to wear beneath my helmet while motorcycling. If you, like me, don't want or can't afford to spend hundreds on a Cardo or Sena unit for your helmet, this is an excellent budget alternative. The audio quality is surprisingly clear, with both treble and bass coming through very distinctly. The earplugs function excellently to filter wind noise, without interfering unduly with ability to maintain situational awareness (hearing horns, sirens, etc). They're quite comfortable, even beneath a helmet, for over an hour at a time. I have found that after about an hour and a half of riding, my ears begin to get a little sore from the pressure, but this is the case with every pair of Bluetooth earbuds I've ever worn. The only downside that I have identified with the product is the fact that when on the road, the very small control buttons are nearly impossible to use while riding, especially if you tuck the body of the headphones into your shirt/jacket. My remedy for this issue was initially to mount my phone to my handlebars, and switch songs or change volume by hand. However, I eventually settled on using a Bluetooth controller (JBL Click) for fully remote, one handed control of the phone, and by extension, the headphones. This solution cost me a total of about $80 for the JBL Click unit and the headphones themselves.
