What sets these apart are their foam tips. Standard issue for US Army helicopter crews who need to constantly insert and remove listening devices without irritation, they’re some of the most comfortable earbuds on earth. They gently, yet securely conform to your ear canal while reducing background noise by up to 30 dB. These will increase the quality of whatever you’ve been listening to without totally blocking out all ambient sound. Comes with carrying pouch and extra foam tips. 43" cable with volume control. 1/8" (3.5mm) plug. Warning! These devices may block out ambient sounds important for safe riding. Do not use where other road users may be present. Check local laws.
