Etymotic ER20 ETY High-Fidelity Earplugs
Turn Down the Noise, Not the Experience
Let’s be honest—life’s a noisy ride. Whether you're grooving at a concert, zipping down the motorway, or just trying to tune out the chaos at your local café, your ears deserve a bit of peace. That’s where the Etymotic ER20 ETY•Plugs step in. These ready-fit (no custom fitting needed) high-fidelity earplugs dial down the volume without messing with the sound you love.
Unlike foam earplugs that muffle everything into a fuzzy mess, ETY•Plugs take the high road. They lower sound evenly across all frequencies—so your music still sings, conversations stay sharp, and nothing sounds like it’s coming from underwater. Think of it as a smart volume knob for your ears.
Thanks to some seriously clever engineering (we’re talking tuned resonators and acoustic resistors), these earplugs mimic how your ear naturally hears. With a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 13 dB, real-world use typically delivers around 20 dB of reduction—so you still get that crisp, full sound, just turned down to a safer level. Stadiums, subway rides, loud workshops—bring it on. Your ears are covered.
Key Benefits of the ER20
- Natural Sound Quality: Music and speech sound just right—only quieter. Crisp highs, clear vocals, and zero muffling.
- Safe Listening: Reduces noise by approximately 20 dB in real-world use (NRR 13 dB), helping protect your hearing in loud environments like concerts or motorcycling. Just keep in mind—safe exposure time still depends on how loud things get.
- Perfect for Musicians: Hear yourself and your crew with clarity. No more guessing, no more ringing ears.
- Comfortable Fit: Lightweight and designed for extended wear, these earplugs are comfortable for most users. Just a heads-up—the stemmed design might stick out a bit, especially under helmets or tight-fitting headphones.
Product Features of the ER20
- Durable and reusable—these aren’t your one-and-done foam plugs
- A smart alternative to expensive custom moulded options
- Includes a detachable black neck cord (no more pocket digging)
- Comes with a durable carrying case for easy storage
- Available in two sizes: Standard and Large — both offer the same excellent sound reduction, so you can choose the fit that suits you best
Fit & Sizing
Here’s the thing: ear canals are as unique as fingerprints. Big ears don’t always mean big canals, and vice versa. That’s why ETY•Plugs come in two size options—Standard and Large—to fit nearly every ear. Bonus: studies show that the Standard size fits most people just fine. Still, if you’ve had trouble with fit in the past, the Large option might be just what you need.
Use & Care Guidelines
These earplugs are built to be reused—but like anything well-loved, they won’t last forever. Over time, the tips can lose their bounce. If you're using them regularly, aim to replace them every 3 to 6 months. After each use, wipe them down gently with a damp cloth—no alcohol or soaking necessary—and keep them stored in their case to stay clean and ready for action.
