Product Information

Full details

The OX Tools Professional Folding Compact Ear Defenders are designed for adult unisex use, offering robust hearing protection in noisy environments. Their key benefit lies in their foldable, lightweight design and large, acoustic foam-filled cups that effectively absorb sound, providing up to SNR 30db protection. A minor consideration is that while adjustable, they are a general-purpose solution and may not suit highly specialized noise environments.

FAQs

What is SNR 30db?

SNR stands for Single Number Rating, which is a measure of noise reduction. An SNR of 30db means that the ear defenders can reduce the incoming noise level by approximately 30 decibels on average.

Are these suitable for industrial environments?

Yes, these ear defenders conform to EN-352-1 regulation and provide SNR 30db protection, making them suitable for many industrial environments with high noise levels.

How do I fold the ear defenders?

The ear defenders are designed to fold inwards, making them more compact. Gently push the cups towards the headband to collapse them for storage.

Can these be used by younger users?

These ear defenders are designed for adult use. While adjustable, they may not provide an optimal fit for smaller head sizes found in younger individuals.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.

Can I wear these with safety glasses?

Yes, they can often be worn with safety glasses. However, ensure that the combination provides a comfortable and effective seal around your ears. Some glasses arms might interfere with the seal.

Troubleshooting

Ear defenders feel loose or do not create a good seal

Adjust the cup height using the sliding mechanism to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the foam cups fully cover your ears without gaps.

Reduced noise reduction effectiveness

Clean the foam ear cups as per the care instructions. Dirt or debris can impede the acoustic properties. Check for any damage to the cups or headband.

Ear defenders are uncomfortable after prolonged wear

Re-adjust the cup height and headband tension. Ensure they are not overtightened. Take short breaks from wearing them if necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent noise reduction capability (SNR 30db)
  • Compact and foldable for easy storage and portability
  • Comfortable fit due to adjustable cups and foam padding
  • Meets safety standards (EN-352-1)
  • Lightweight for extended wear

Cons

  • General-purpose design may not be ideal for extremely specific noise frequencies
  • Foam cups may require cleaning for optimal hygiene and performance
  • May not be suitable for users requiring communication systems integrated into ear defenders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These ear defenders require no complex setup. Simply extend the headband and adjust the cup height until they fit comfortably and securely over your ears, ensuring a good seal. The adjustable cup height allows for a personalized fit for most adult users.

Compatibility:

Designed for general use, these ear defenders are compatible with most head sizes and shapes due to their adjustable nature. They are suitable for use by both men and women working in loud environments.

Care:

To maintain optimal performance and hygiene:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the foam cups and headband with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store the ear defenders in a clean, dry place when not in use. Folding them helps protect the cups and maintain their shape.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the ear defenders for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks in the plastic or degradation of the foam, and replace if necessary.
