Plugfones Liberate 2.0 Wireless Bluetooth in-Ear Earplug Earbuds- 29NRR Noise Reduction Headphones with Noise Isolating Mic and Controls (Blue & Yellow)

Have been using these for YEARS at work ever since I found out about them. They are better hearing protection than the ones my company provides! (the foam tips are better; silicone tips are the same/slightly less than my work ones, but still very safe) Sound is quality. Not going to get amazing bass, but they have a good enough 'bump' to them, and are very clear to hear. Durability is quality (for me at least) I use them 8-12hrs, 6-7days a week in a warehouse environment and they have held up just fine for me. (but I am also sorta ocd about keeping my equipment in good condition, so your experience may vary) Battery lasts right around 12hrs on a full charge. Battery life also determines on what you're using them for; If you use them to talk on the phone for a long period of time, the battery drains faster than if you just use them to listen to music/etc. But the plus is they are fairly quick charging. If I know the battery isn't full and I have to work a 12hr unexpectedly, I can throw them on the charger for 10mins or so and they will last the rest of my shift just fine. I know it probably goes against everything you've ever been told when buying electronics, but I recommend getting the Asurion insurance it offers when you purchase them. I've been using these for years, 6-7days a week for the past 5 or so years, and every pair I've bought only lasted right around a year, year and a half before something internally went wrong with them. Whether it be one of the earpieces stops working, or the microphone stops working, its always something right around the same time after purchase. But the Asurion insurance makes it very easy to make a claim, turn them in, get reimbursed and buy a new pair. basically you're getting your next pair for only 8bucks with the insurance. Not a bad deal for a bit of a failsafe. Hopefully your pair wont, but just in case.

This is my 4th pair of these earbuds. They are my all time favorite. The buds have foam instead of plastic but they do have plastic if that’s what you prefer. The sound is amazing. I prefer the wire ones over just the buds, I like that I can just take em out and let them hang, don’t have to put it in a case or pocket. Battery lasts me all day, 10+ hours, sound quality and clarity is GREAT, no issues connecting, and they’re durable. If you’re looking for a great pair of wired earbuds, these are it, worth every penny. The only reason these are my 4th pair is cause I lost 2 pair when I worked in water department and I was not digging them out of sewage and one pair was stolen.

I picked these up since they came heavily recommended from a biker group on discord. My handlebar speakers finally crapped out on me after a good 7 years, so I was in the position of either buying new speakers or was also looking into in helmet audio options. Now, at the same time, I've noticed a degradation in my overall hearing when it comes to hearing people speak in loud places. It was concerning to me, so the idea of ear plugs for hearing protection also started to hit me. After trying some of the other ear plugs like high fidelity plugs from Etymotic, and 3m foamies, and airpod pros. I thought wow the ear protection from road and wind noise on the motorcycle is great, but I need some tunes back in my ride. I've now had these headphones for about a month of daily commuting and here are my thoughts. Pros: - the foam tips to a really good job at noise reduction. I'd say the claimed 30db is accurate enough if you get them in your ears properly. - tunes are completely audible at a lower end volume up to about 45mph, over that and you can bump it up until you slow down again. I am not commuting on highways at top speeds, so can't comment on that, but they seem to get pretty loud. - the buttons are easily found around the neck while riding. - battery seems good enough, have only charged it once when I opened it. I ride about 3 days a week, about 20-40 minute commutes. - These easily stay in place while wearing either a full face or a half helmet - can easily be worn for ear protection without using the speakers for when you want to eliminate the road noise but don't need music. Cons: - they can get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. - I think the headphone itself could be a little larger. to get these properly seated in the ears, you need to really push them in there, so it doesn't leave much left to grab before your fingers are essentially putting pressure on the wire. I do think this will be the ultimate weak point of these headphones over time, but so far so good. -price isn't bad compared to in helmet audio solutions or handlebar speakers. (if you go helmet audio, remember that you'll probably need to upgrade your helmet as well) - They default to middle/upper volume when you turn them on so if you are not prepared, it might be considered a bit loud. I need to adjust the volume down every time I turn them on. - I'm sure any true audiophile would not find these satisfactory, but for me they sound great. I listen to a wide range of music from heavy metal to drum and bass. I enjoy great sounding audio. So for what these offer at this price point, WITH ear protection, WHILE riding a motorcycle is actually pretty decent IMO. Overall, I'm satisfied, and will see how well they hold up over time.

Bought these for motorcycle road trips hoping they would work as earplugs to block wind noise and also work as earbuds so I could listen to music while I’m riding. They did exactly that. Wind noise is greatly reduced and music is clear. They’re comfortable too. If you ride 70mph or more they aren’t much good. Just keep your speed under 70 if you want to hear them. Over 70 they make great earplugs. The Bluetooth connection is good for 50-60 feet and they reconnect as soon as you’re back in range. The best way I found to wear them is to put them around my neck with the retaining clip in front. The retaining clip does not stay on the wires very well so I put a small o ring on it and it holds the wire fine. The wires could be a little longer. If you have an 18” neck you’ll need to just let the wires hang in front. I have played music at 80-100% volume for 7-8 hrs and the battery still has power. I recommend these things. They are a little spendy but so is a good set of Bluetooth ear buds.

I am very impressed with these headphones. I had very high expectation for these headphone when ordering them as they were around 140 dollars to my door all said and done.. When listening to them the first time I was impressed! I’ve owned a lot of the big name brand headphones (beats, monster, etc.) and the quality of sound you get from these headphones are on par if not better than these other brands. They also do a good job at keeping noise out (I work construction) but if you keep your music at a decent level you can still hear other people when they are trying to get your attention. Yes, on the downside, they have a bit bulky of a battery and control selector on them but that is to be expected as they last 12 hours and other brands hide these in the bulky earbuds which these are just small ear plugs. This is not an issue as the cord is long enough I just hide these in the back of my shirt so no one even notices. They also come with 3 other replacement ear plugs, a charger, and a very nice zip up hard shell carrying case! Overall for the $140 I’d say I got my money’s worth. I have not had them long enough to see how long they last, but another guy I work with has had his for a year and has had no issues. These are a great product and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for earbuds they can wear at work inconspicuously.

Awesome

Good for the price

The overall quality of the plugfones is a little cheap. The sound quality is perfectly acceptable. (especially if you like bass) The different ear tips are a nice touch. I personally prefer silicone ones. The carrying case is nice, however, I wish it didn't have "plugfones" plastered on the top. The sizes of the battery box and controls are smaller than I expected. So it won't stick out as much as I thought. The mic is probably a bit of a giveaway, I'm thinking of electrical taping over it to make it look like I've fixed the wire with tape. A problem I've had with these is that lot of earplugs in the UK are not the same colour as these. I've had a few people call them earphones. However, an idea I have is to buy a set of actual earplugs that look the same and wear those to work. Once people are used to seeing them, swap them out with the plugfones and no one will be the wiser. I'll link the pair of earplugs if anyone wants to do the same. 3MUF-01-020X1 - 3M E.A.R Ultrafit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ANO5WKQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tried a couple of the earbuds but they just wouldn't stay in my ears when I pulled my snugly fitting Arai DX4 over my ears. It would drag em out and option I was considering was to duct tape them in until I came across these. Was a little dubious but great result...., good sound quality, volume easily adjustable, cuts out most (not all) background noise and comfortable. Can also charge on bike. Reccommend
