SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders Earplugs for Hearing Protection
Category: surefire ear plugs
From the manufacturer, the EP3 Sonic Defenders feature patented EarLock retention rings, which utilize seven contact points to securely hold the earpieces in position. These innovative earplugs are equipped with a noise-reducing filter that effectively reduces hazardous sound levels while enabling users to hear ambient sounds and conversations clearly.
Specifically designed to offer protection from Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), the SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders boast a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24 dB. Their unique double-flanged-stem ensures that safe sound levels can flow into the ear canal, while the proprietary filter suppresses potentially damaging noises that exceed 85 dB. With the filter caps inserted, the Sonic Defenders minimize harmful noise, and when the caps are removed, users can hear safe sounds as if they were not wearing earplugs at all.
Additionally, these earplugs offer two distinct levels of protection depending on whether the filter caps are installed. Constructed from hypoallergenic, medical-grade polymer, the EP3 Sonic Defenders are designed for comfort and durability, providing all-day use without irritation. Their low-profile design allows for ease of wear beneath masks, helmets, hats, and while using phones or supplemental hearing muffs.
Available in a variety of sizes—including Small, Medium (which fits most), and Large—and colors such as Black, Red, and Orange, the EP3 Sonic Defenders cater to different preferences and needs. The sizing is determined by the ear’s concha bowl: 1 inch corresponds to Medium, less than 1 inch to Small, and greater than 1 inch to Large.
Color Options: - Black: This is the most popular color among users across various fields. Each set is sold as a single left/right pair and comes with a 26-inch polymer lanyard and a storage case. - Clear: Favored by law enforcement personnel, these can also be utilized as earpieces for compatible radio communication systems, and similarly include a lanyard and case. - Orange: The bright orange color makes these earplugs ideal for shooting and hunting, as well as for safety applications in industrial and construction settings. Likewise, they are sold as a single left/right pair and come with the essentials—a lanyard and storage case.
These Sonic Defenders provide reliable, all-day protection while maintaining situational awareness, making them trusted by military personnel and everyday users alike.
The low-profile design is coupled with the assured EarLock outer rings, ensuring a secure fit with each use. Hypoallergenic construction enhances comfort, making these earplugs suitable for Safety, Industrial, and Construction environments.
Utilizing established non-electronic technology, these earplugs provide users the necessary protection from harmful noise while preserving the ability to hear essential conversations, commands, and ambient sounds. With a 24 dB NRR when filter caps are in place, and a comfortable fit that seals the ear canals effectively, the EP3 Sonic Defenders prove to be a valuable tool in noise-laden environments, ensuring that you can protect your hearing without sacrificing your ability to communicate with those around you. Made in the USA, these durable earplugs promise longevity and reliability in various applications.
