How to Choose Earplugs

Magan really annoyed all her friends with her megaphone.  They should have taken their ear plugs.
Choosing the best earplugs for your requirements can be tricky; here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the best earplugs;

- Purpose. For use in the water you're better off with earplugs which are non-porous, i.e, plastic or silicon. For use in bed make sure they don't protrude from your ears.

- Cost. Foam earplugs are the cheapest but don't last long, can be uncomfortable and can contribute to ear infections. Moulded earplugs are the most expensive but are more comfortable and last longer. You can cut the cost by buying a moulded earplug kit.

- Duration of use. If you use your earplugs often or for prolonged periods it's probably worth buying moulded earplugs which will be more comfortable and last for longer.

- Materials. Foam, silicone and wax are the commonest materials used for non-moulded earplugs. They tend to deteriorate with use and become dirty but can easily and cheaply be replaced.

- Antibacterial properties. Some earplugs contain an antibacterial. This is worth considering if you are prone to ear infections or wear your earplugs for prolonged periods of time.

- Colour. You may have a choice of colours with some earplugs.

The ZenPlugs website has excellent moulded earplug kits you can use for many different purposes, including sleeping, snoring and swimming.

Review of The New Cable Core Earphone Cable Tidy - Out This Week

Cable Core Earphone Cable Tidy -White, Green, Pink
Are you thoroughly cheesed off with your earphone cable getting tangled in your bag?  Do you keep getting it caught on door handles as you pass?  ZenPlugs have developed the Cable Core, a new cable tidy for MP3 players and mobile phone earphones, here's our review.

The cable tidy is an unusual design and feels great in your hand; it is pleasingly flexible and biconvex so feels like pebble.  It comes in 2 sizes, the smaller is great for standard earphones, the larger one easy holds 10ft of 2mm cable, making it great for studio headphones.  The plastic is rubberised so the cable locks in nicely.  It is discrete and not too heavy if you leave it attached to your headphones whilst you're wearing them.

It's being launched this week so pop in on The Cable Core on the ZenPlugs website to find out more and buy one, if you like the look of it.

ZenPlugs and the fight against Pirates!

ZenPlugs Pirate Earplugs
Andy uses his ZenPlugs to fight pirates!
 
Dear ZenPlugs
 
I am a Maritime Security Consultant so spend months away firing weapons of various calibres in an effort to protect maritime vessels from the ever increasing piracy threat in and around the Gulf of Aden and larger Indian Ocean, which I will be intending to use the plugs for.

I also compete in duathlons and intend to get into triathlons but after blowing out my eardrums in Afghanistan in 2007 while serving in the Royal Marines I now need something to ensure the integrity of my ears, which again I intend to use the plugs for.

The list goes on so I'm sure we could discuss this further should you wish!!

Regards

Andy Probert

Moulded Earplugs Review

Moulded Earplugs Review
Molded earplugs are the most comfortable earplugs you will ever wear.  Because they are individually moulded to your ears they are highly comfortable and effective and are much less likely to fall out than foam earplugs.  ZenPlugs Moulded Ear Plugs are made form a kit so cost far less than having your ears moulded by an audiologist.









Dear Sir:

May I say I’m delighted with the ZenPlugs ear plug product.  I am extremely impressed with the thoughtful packaging, directions, and amazing attention to detail as regards the kit!

As for the performance of the ear plugs themselves, they work marvellously, with no “pressure” or discomfort at all.

Bravo to you and your team.

Kindly,

Richard Liebowitz, Falmouth UK
