Designed with patented technology to replicate the ear canal’s response, these reusable earplugs offer audiophile-grade sound fidelity and come with a convenient neck cord to prevent loss. Perfect for professionals and music lovers who demand hearing protection without sacrificing sound quality. ## Description Product Description ETY•Plugs® are the world’s highest fidelity non-custom earplugs. They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the clarity of speech and the richness of music. ETY•Plugs are configured to replicate the natural response of the ear canal so that when sound enters the earplug, it is reproduced unchanged, exactly the same as the ear would hear it, only quieter. Directions Insert gently into the ear canal for a tight seal; avoid use in impulse noise situations or for sleeping; clean periodically for reuse. Review: Excellent value, would recommend to anyone serious about loud music and protecting their hearing. - If you're going to be exposing yourself to loud volumes of sound repeatedly and/or over a long period of time, it's essential to protect your hearing. I understand that Etymotic's earplugs are designed with the audiophile, gigging musician and audio professional in mind: they bring down the audible level of sound by about 20 dB in the mid-range, while cleverly rolling off at the less-dangerous low and high ends so as not to dull the sound. They come connected by a handy string, which when worn around your neck helps you not to lose them in the crowd. They are also comfortable to wear for long periods, and allow for conversation with people near you at normal volume. One problem I was worried about before buying was the plastic stem sticking out perpendicular to my ears – would it be possible for a flailing fellow dancer to whack the plug straight into my ear-canal? Thankfully there's no real chance of this; the design tends to protrude at a slight angle, and so far no harm's been done in even the most extreme mosh-pits. I have previously owned ER-20s by Elacin, to which these appear to be identical. However, I'm given to understand that the design is originally Etymotic's. Insomniacs and those with snoring partners should note that the protruding stems make these earplugs unsuitable for wearing to bed. Cheaper foam plugs like Hearos are more suitable. Review: Brilliant earplugs - I bought these for going out to drum and bass events and attending festivals. Used them several times now and they’re brilliant! Really take the edge off the noise and definitely help protect your ears especially from heavy bass. Have a handy piece of string which means you can wear them around your neck without losing them. You can still hear people talk, and can 100% still appreciate and love the music, it just helps protect your ears!! I was worried these wouldn’t fit as I have quite small ears but the standard fits like a dream. 10/10 would recommend. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Replicates the ear's natural response - Sound quality is preserved - Speech is clear, not muffled - Reduces sound approximately 20 dB at all frequencies - Patented technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0044DEESS | | Best Sellers Rank | 44,790 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 436 in Ear Plugs | | Brand | Etymotic Research | | Brand Name | Etymotic Research | | Colour | Blue Tip, Clear Stem | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,998 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00846430000216 | | Included Components | ETY Plugs earplugs Black neck cord Storage case | | Item Dimensions | 19 x 102 x 152 millimetres | | Item Form | Pair | | Item Part Number | ER20-SMB-C | | Item Weight | 0.04 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Etymotic | | Manufacturer Part Number | ER20-SMB-C | | Material | Foam , Silicone | | Material Type | Foam, Silicone | | Model Name | ER20-SMB-C | | Model Number | ER20-SMB-C | | Noise Attenuation | 20 dB | | Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) | 20 Decibels | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 2 | | Product Style | Standard, Clear Stem - Blue Tip | | Recommended Uses For Product | Noise Protection | | Recommended uses for product | Noise Protection | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 1 count (Pack of 2) | | Specific Uses For Product | hearing protection in various environments with loud noise | | Sport Type | Motorcycling | | Style | Standard, Clear Stem - Blue Tip | | UPC | 612750858857 799564863588 793936807521 798813011701 809393894438 084643000214 846430000216 784922318497 | | Unit Count | 2 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Etymotic Research - **Colour:** Blue Tip, Clear Stem - **Material:** Foam, Silicone - **Recommended uses for product:** Noise Protection - **Size:** 1 count (Pack of 2) ## Images ![Etymotic Research ER20-SMB-C Standard Headset Ear Plugs- Clear Steam/Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zC5e9ZQnL.jpg) ![Etymotic Research ER20-SMB-C Standard Headset Ear Plugs- Clear Steam/Blue - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GLA+GEitL.jpg) ![Etymotic Research ER20-SMB-C Standard Headset Ear Plugs- Clear Steam/Blue - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71V2+N3Lk0L.jpg) ![Etymotic Research ER20-SMB-C Standard Headset Ear Plugs- Clear Steam/Blue - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ks7m51-jL.jpg) ![Etymotic Research ER20-SMB-C Standard Headset Ear Plugs- Clear Steam/Blue - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715lDISC9XL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does they work in the original Kindle** A: These are perfect with the Original Kindle. No longer will you be bothered by those around you asking if you like the Kindle, or if that is the original kindle they had back in college. If you are using the original kindle, you are likely riding a loud city bus on the way back to the trailer park. And you NEED these plugs. Thanks! **Q: I'm freaked out over how far they seemingly stick out. Is there any danger of having something bump into them and have the plug jam in your ear?** A: I've actually had this happen. I was at a metal show and someone from a mosh pit fell into me and it somehow got jammed into my ear where I couldn't get it out with my fingertips and I had to wait to get home for my wife to extract it with needle nose pliers. It didnt go deep enough to cause damage but it sure was uncomfortable. I've used them 20+ times since and it hasnt happened again.. **Q: will this fit a five year old?** A: Did you ever buy these for your five year old? If so, how did they fit? Did they work well? **Q: do they come with the cord to keep them attatched?** A: They come with a plastic case that has a cord attached to it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value, would recommend to anyone serious about loud music and protecting their hearing. *by D***E on 27 February 2013* If you're going to be exposing yourself to loud volumes of sound repeatedly and/or over a long period of time, it's essential to protect your hearing.

Comfortable and block out the sound needed. I work in music venues and nightclubs on a regular basis so these were a perfect cheap solution. Reasonable price, easily washable and the cord that attaches to them is really useful and the right length to tie in a loose knot around my neck when I'm not using them. The attachable cord was the main dicing factor for me when purchasing as I easily loose earplugs. I gave this 4 stars as they could be more comfortable but they are well worth the price I paid. ## Frequently Bought Together - Etymotic Research ER20 High-Fidelity Earplugs (Concerts, Musicians, Airplanes, Motorcycles, Sensitivity and Universal Hearing Protection) - Standard, Clear Stem w/ Blue Tip - Etymotic High-Fidelity Earplugs, ER20XS Standard Fit, Polybag Package, 1 pair - Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs with Blue Filters - Reusable Noise Reduction Hearing Protection Ear-Plugs with Carrying Case for Concerts, Festivals, Raves, Musicians, Live Music, Sporting Events --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/67063504-etymotic-research-er20-smb-c-standard-headset-ear-plugs-clear](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/67063504-etymotic-research-er20-smb-c-standard-headset-ear-plugs-clear) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
