Description

Experience the pinnacle of hearing protection and clarity with the ER20XS Triple Flange Earplugs. Engineered with three points of contact, these earplugs form an exceptional seal in the ear canal, delivering superior noise reduction and sound fidelity compared to single dome silicone tips. The ER20XS earplugs boast a low-profile, stem-less design that fits snugly in the outer ear without protruding, making them discreet and ideal for use under hats, helmets, and other headgear. The ergonomic triple flange tips ensure a secure, comfortable fit for extended wear, while the small, flexible pull tab allows for easy removal. They also come with an easy-to-install neck cord and a convenient carrying case. Performance-wise, the ER20XS matches Etymotic’s high-fidelity ER20 developed for musicians. With identical response through 4 kHz and enhanced high-frequency clarity above 4 kHz, these earplugs preserve the richness of music and clarity of speech—just quieter—with a 20-dB equal sound reduction across the spectrum of hearing. BENEFITS
  • Reduces risk of hearing damage for many noisy occupations as well as noisy venues, such as airshows, parades, athletic events and motor sports.
  • Enhances the music experience for audiences while protecting hearing.
  • Allows musicians to hear their own instrument and their blend with others.
CHOOSING YOUR SIZE All ears are different. It is impossible to predict the size of an ear canal by the appearance of the outer ear, or by a person’s physical size, age or gender. Two sizes of ER20 Plugs fit almost 100% of ear canals. Recent studies of both fit and seal, conducted at Etymotic Research and an independent lab, showed that the smaller of the two sizes fits the majority of ears and is now designated as standard fit. ADJUSTING TO ETYMOTIC EARPLUGS  A little time may be required to acclimate to these earplugs. Many musicians report that they hear their own instruments better, as well as the balance with those around them. Insert the plug by grasping the end cap and inserting the eartip until the largest flange is sealed in the ear canal entrance. To ease insertion, moisten the plug and pull the ear outward and upward. Earplugs must be inserted correctly for optimal effectiveness. To remove, use a slow twisting motion. WHEN TO REPLACE  ER20 Plugs are reusable, but with repeated use, the eartips may lose elasticity. For best performance and retention, if you use your constantly, replace them every 3-6 months.

CLEANING

  • Do not take earplugs apart.
  • Clean after each use.
  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Do not immerse earplugs in water.
  • Do not clean with harsh chemicals.
  • Alcohol is not recommended.

This company rules! The product puts performance before all else!

This company rules! The product puts performance before all else, 100% function before form, and the form is pretty rad none the less. Not only is the product incredible, but the team matches that high bar with excellent service taboot! I completely failed at giving the correct shipping address for my nephew's gifts, but Sarah H. was on top of a solution with a quickness. Mad respect for the acumen this crew operates with, from the science behind the audiophile minded product designs to the earnest efforts to provide the best service, I wish more companies worked with this level of integrity. I will be back, you have made a customer for life. #Etymotic4Lyfe

Great for playing music and going to concerts . I can actually hear what myself and others are playing now , unlike when I was using foam earplugs and could only hear bass and cymbals .

Great for musicians

These are great for playing brass music and ear training. They're also great for when you sit in front of the trombone section!

Much better than other earplugs

The audio experience of these earplugs are way better than others I've tried! Other earplugs make me feel like I'm underwater and amplify my own voice/internal sounds. These earplugs don't do that! I love them

Great for hard rock concerts

These got me through an AC/DC concert last week 50 feet from the stage without pain and with the ability to communicate with others because even while tamping down the amps, conversation with those around me was still possible. We are frequent arena rock-concert-goers so I never leave the house without my Etymotics.
