The Etymotic Research ETY Plugs ER20 High Fidelity Earplug uses a proprietary tuned resonator and acoustic resistor to replicate the natural response of the ear canal. Sound is reproduced unchanged, as the ear would hear it, only quieter. They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the lucidity of sounds.
Traditional foam earplugs do not compare with high fidelity EtyPlugs. The well known bright coloured foam plugs muffle sound by reduce mid-range and high frequencies resulting in muffled speech and music. While Etyplugs reduce noise levels evenly and preserve clarity of speech, communication and the richness of music.
ETYPlugs High Fidelity Earplugs are reusable. With heavy use the material can weaken and could break. Replace every 3-6 months.
