Designed in the USA from hypoallergenic medical-grade polymer, these reusable earplugs provide a secure, low-profile fit compatible with helmets, masks, and communication systems—perfect for managers who demand both protection and situational awareness in noisy environments. ## Description EP7 Sonic Defenders Ultra protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their foam-tipped stem design, featuring soft memory-foam Comply Canal Tips, fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 28dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates a special noise-reducing filter. EP7s include attached filter caps, which can be inserted for additional protection and blocking out lower-level noise, like that heard on a plane, in situations where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical. Right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders Ultra are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer that provides all-day comfort and an extended product life (up to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). Their patented EarLock retention rings lock the earplugs in place, while soft foam-tipped stems provide secure seals in the ear canals. And their low-profile design means they can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset. Available in clear, black, or orange. Comfortable EP7 Sonic Defenders Ultra also serve as earpieces for compatible radio communication systems simply by removing the noise-reducing filter and attaching the earpiece to the system. * RADIO COMM SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY: Thales: Covert Security Harness; Harris: Security Force Communication Set; Motorola: Surveillance Kits; Tactical Command Industries: Tactical Earpiece Products; Peltor: Lightweight Systems-Hearplug; Silynx: C4Ops Headset. NOTE: EP7 earpiece will not provide hearing protection if the noise-reducing filter is removed. Review: Foam are MUCH better! - Let me start by saying that I've used the Surefire ear plugs for almost 2 years now for under my motorcycle helmet when I'm riding. I don't use them at the gun range or anything else other than wind noise. When first going with the Surefire's I bought a set of MEDIUM EP4's. These have the rubber "Christmas tree-like" ear pieces. I really like this product and, at first, they fit my ear very well. Unfortunately, they would move around when turning my head with my helmet on. It got to the point that I couldn't keep them in place. Since the ear piece that goes around the ear is great I figured to try a LARGE and ordered the EP3's. These have the same style outer piece, only larger, and a somewhat differently-shaped, rubber ear canal piece. Looks like a tiny mushroom only it bends to "follow" into the ear canal. While these worked better I started noticing the same issue with them sliding around inside of my helmet. In addition, the LARGE outer piece would irritate after a few hours. I guess I can contribute this to my ear canal being large while the outer part of my ear is a medium. So, I've been using the other brands for a few months (the "Christmas tree" type with the string on each end and the longer tube coming out). And although I like these cheaper, more effective rubber ones the fact that the Surefire's fir so well into my ear AND have the noise-reducer, optional plug...I just had to try their foam ear plugs. I just received them today in the mail and could IMMEDIATELY tell the difference! Not only do they fit perfectly but the ambient noises are distinctly reduced, all the while being able to hear voices and other sounds without a muffled sound! I cannot say at this point how well they work while riding a motorcycle and under a helmet but I have a good feeling with these. The foam plug part feels a lot thicker than the rubber ones, thus covers my entire ear canal. I put them in the first time and did NOT have to adjust them. They just slid right in and the noise was reduced. I've pulled them out and put them back in a few times and, so far, every time they simply snug right in! These came with an extra set of foam plugs that can easily be removed from the main unit. I'll be riding tomorrow and unless they don't work any better than the EP4 and EP3's consider this review a 5-star! (If not I will edit my review.) ***UPDATE: After riding a few days with these earplugs...100% better than the EP3 and EP4! With the foam for the ear canal, these Surefire's stay in my larger ear canal! They muffle a lot of wind and engine noise, yet I can still hear my Sena radio nice and clearly! The only issue is more from my helmet, as it's a tight helmet and when I put it on it tends to slide on my ear and pull the Surefire's out. Luckily, I'm able to get a finger through the helmet padding and push them back in. VERY SATISFIED!!! Review: Head Banging Son? No Problem! - One of my son’s favorite bands is Sabaton (https://smile.desertcart.com/War-End-All-Wars/dp/B09TW55FY8/). They are a Swedish heavy metal band that produce songs on the history of wars and heroes and battles. They are not glorifying violence or gore, nor are they neo-cons advocating for it. Instead, they look at our history of wars and find the heroes and the battles and the moments that meant something. And they write about those. And then they make albums with those songs on them. And then they go on tour and sign them. Loudly. Very, very loudly. And when my son decided he wanted to go see them live and he needed me to go with him, I pulled out my SureFire EP7 Sonic Defenders and my credit card and bought two tickets in the mosh pit. And they worked like a charm. Sabaton were still loud. I felt the vibrations of the drums and the bass and the guitar trying to shake my entire person apart. And it was glorious. These are incredibly comfortable, incredibly light weight and the only reason I noticed I was wearing them was because my ears were not bleeding. One of the niceties of these that you can get them snugly in for protection and there’s a tiny tab you can pop out to have a conversation. While the opening band wasn’t as loud as Sabaton, they were still loud. And not having to take them out of the ear and reseat them for the main event is a treat. What was even more glorious was the fact that I could carry on a conversation with my son after the concert was over (he had his own pair in!). We could talk about our favorite moments and our favorite songs (mine is Christmas Truce - https://desertcart.com/music/player/albums/B09GJN78MV). I would not have been able to enjoy this concert if it weren’t for this ear protection. And everything that I’ve said about listening to music applies to shooting as well. The protection is amazing and being able to pop out the tab to talk between sessions without having to reseat the entire thing is delightful. ## Features - 28dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) with filter caps inserted, Hear safe sound levels (with filter caps out) as if you weren't wearing ear plugs - Soft memory-foam Canal Comply Tips provide secure seals in ear canals and all-day comfort (additional pair of Comply Canal tips included) - Low-profile design allows you to keep them in place while wearing a mask, helmet, hat, or while using supplemental hearing muffs - Patented EarLock retention rings utilize seven contact points to lock earpieces in place and fit the same way every time - Made in USA from hypoallergenic, medical-grade polymer that's soft, durable, and long-lasting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009T9QXXQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,927 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #461 in Earplugs | | Brand Name | SureFire | | Care instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,269 Reviews | | Fabric type | 100% Polymer | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00084871319423 | | Included Components | Product | | Item Dimensions | 4 x 4 x 4 inches | | Item Form | Pair | | Item Nype Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 10 g | | Manufacturer | SureFire | | Manufacturer Part Number | EP7-BK-MPR | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Uncorded | | Model Number | EP7-BK-MPR | | Net Content Count | 1 count | | Noise Attenuation | 28 db | | Noise Reduction Rating | 28 db | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Origin | Made in the USA | | Package Size Name | Single | | Product Style | Uncorded | | Recommended Uses For Product | Noise Protection | | Reusability | Reusable | | Single Number Rating | 28 db | | Size | 1 count (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 084871322454 084871319423 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SureFire - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Noise Protection - **Size:** 1 count (Pack of 1) ## Images ![EP7 Sonic Defenders Ultra filtered Earplugs w/ Comply Canal Tips, reusable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VH+qiec+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you have to use the caps for the noise reduction** A: I don't use them too often. I leave them open so when I'm with my buddies i can hear them speak. **Q: What's the nrr when the caps are open? i'm looking for something i can wear for home defense. i want protection but also need to hear my attacker** A: I'm appalled by these comments, both in terms of the snarky tone and also the inaccuracy. To the OP: I suggest you not pay these comments any attention. If the individuals commenting were well-versed in their defensive training, they would know that no two situations are ever alike. Moreover, many of the commenters apparently have not considered that some people actually sleep with earplugs in (due to street noise, snoring partner, etc.), or might have multiple layers in their defense plan (e.g., partner #1 investigates the noise, partner #2 slips on the ear pro and provides support). Or maybe there's a long driveway with a security system that allows time to assess and react. The point is that everyone needs to decide what's appropriate for their own individual situation. If people are representing otherwise, it's simply posturing and unwarranted assumption. To some of the people commenting: If you really care about 2A, and you think this is someone that needs guidance, maybe try to actually help them as opposed to flaming? The OP is asking a question about noise reduction, not for your brilliant, unsolicited advice about their home defense plan--and when you go on a tangent with a stupid, snarky, one-size-fits-all answer, it only demonstrates your ignorance of the subject. Protecting one's hearing should probably not be the primary consideration, but it *is* something to consider. In fact, one should consider everything. In response to your question, I use the EP4s, and generally have no trouble hearing with the plugs in. The reason for this (another really basic issue that seems to have been overlooked) is that these only attenuate certain frequencies, while letting others through. The only way to know is to try them for yourself and see whether they work for you. And one more thing--I have no idea of your experience level, but you should be highly skeptical of any advice you receive on the internet, especially when it's unsolicited. I am legitimately embarrassed by some of the comments here. **Q: How do you know what size to get?** A: Easiest way is to try a pair of ear bud headphones from Walmart or Target (preferably Skullcandy Brand Ear Buds because they come with different size ear plugs; Skullcandy Ear Buds (plugs) allow you to listen to music and make phone calls) (buy and return if necessary; price is about $15 per set; Skullcandy Brand Ear Buds/Headphones are awesome and have amazing sound quality for the price you pay). Bottom Line: Ear plug should fit well when bulb of plug is inserted into ear canal (like a cork on a wine bottle). They shouldn't cause any pain/discomfort. They shouldn't fall out if you vigorously shake your head or run laps at a track (exercising). For several years, I wore the outside the ear canal and always had to push them end over and over again because they kept falling out of my ear. One day, at the mall, a Bose Speaker salesman showed me the correct way to wear ear buds. The way I described is how you are supposed to wear them. I'm a man, 6' 1" tall, weigh 255 lbs and wear a size 13 double wide boot. My ear bud (plug) size is a small. Don't listen to people who say small is for children and medium/large is for an adult. Medium size ear plugs won't properly fit in my ear drums. Best of luck to everyone. P.S. - My mother used to wear headphones like these (as a homemaker watching me and my four brothers) and it would reduce her anxiety attacks and allow her to take better naps during the day (hint, hint). **Q: I have small ear channels, wich size is for me..** A: The size refers to the outer part - not the part that fits into the ear canal. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Foam are MUCH better! *by R***N on October 25, 2018* Let me start by saying that I've used the Surefire ear plugs for almost 2 years now for under my motorcycle helmet when I'm riding.

The rubber 'hook' like bit does the most to hold these in place, so the foam itself just needs to lightly seal the ear canal itself. Less outward pressure makes these much more comfortable for long wear time vs normal foam plugs The hole in the center is great for 2 things: It makes things sound less muffled. Less like your heads between 2 pillows and more like you're listening to the world through headphones. Does a good job letting quieter sounds in while deadening loud sounds, almost like an equalizer. It greatly reduces what I can only describe as 'swamp ear'. When you wear headphones or ear plugs all day and it feels like you got water in your ear or something The only downside to those open holes is a small whistling sound when you walk. Only at walking speed, though. Driving with windows down doesn't cause it. Kind of obnoxious but really only noticable when things are relatively quiet. They are closeable, but not easily while wearing them and negates the big positives of having them there The one thing I don't really like these for is sleep. It's not that they hurt or I can't sleep with them in, but it feels like the rubber hook digs in and feels uncomfortable and tender in that spot when I wake up. I prefer regular foam ear plugs for sleep ## Frequently Bought Together - SureFire EP7 Sonic Defenders Ultra filtered Earplugs w/ Comply Canal Tips, reusable - SureFire EP10 Sonic Defenders Ear Plugs (1 Pair) - SureFire Sonic Defenders Ultra Max Filtered Earplugs w/Comply Canal Tips, Reusable, Clear, Medium, EP10-MPR --- ## 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.jp/products/1547519-ep7-sonic-defenders-ultra-filtered-earplugs-w-comply-canal-tips](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1547519-ep7-sonic-defenders-ultra-filtered-earplugs-w-comply-canal-tips) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
