Full details
The Maverick Safety Foldable Ear Defenders are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable hearing protection in noisy environments like construction sites, workshops, or gardens. These ear defenders provide a strong SNR 29dB noise reduction rating to keep your hearing safe, though their performance is strictly optimized for intermittent or sustained noise rather than heavy industrial blast-level environments. With a lightweight 232g frame and a foldable design, they offer an excellent balance of portability and consistent protection.

FAQs
What does SNR 29dB mean?
SNR stands for Single Number Rating, which indicates the average noise reduction provided by the hearing protection in decibels.
Are these suitable for children?
These are designed for standard adult head sizes and may not provide a secure seal for children.
Can I wear these with glasses?
Yes, but be aware that thick glasses frames might slightly break the seal of the ear cushions, potentially reducing noise protection.
How do I store them properly?
Fold them into their compact position and store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Are the ear cushions replaceable?
While the cushions are durable, they are fixed to the frame. Clean them regularly to extend their lifespan.
Do they meet safety regulations?
Yes, they are certified to EN 352-1 standards for personal hearing protection.
Troubleshooting
The ear defenders do not feel like they are blocking noise effectively.
Ensure the ear cushions are completely surrounding your ears. Check for hair or glasses frames interfering with the seal.
Headband feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Adjust the sliding mechanism on the headband to increase the cup clearance and ensure the weight is distributed evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your ear defenders, expand the headband fully and place the cups over your ears, then slide the cups up or down on the headband until the pressure feels even and secure. These ear defenders are compatible with most standard safety goggles and dust masks, though you should verify that the seal around the ear is not compromised by temple pieces. To maintain the longevity of the product, wipe the cushions with a damp, soapy cloth after use to remove dust and sweat. Avoid using harsh solvents or chemicals on the plastic components, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the elasticity of the cushions.
