Experience the pinnacle of hearing protection and clarity with the ER20XS Triple Flange Earplugs. Engineered with three points of contact, these earplugs form an exceptional seal in the ear canal, delivering superior noise reduction and sound fidelity compared to single dome silicone tips.
The ER20XS earplugs boast a low-profile, stem-less design that fits snugly in the outer ear without protruding, making them discreet and ideal for use under hats, helmets, and other headgear. The ergonomic triple flange tips ensure a secure, comfortable fit for extended wear, while the small, flexible pull tab allows for easy removal. They also come with an easy-to-install neck cord and a convenient carrying case.
Performance-wise, the ER20XS matches Etymotic’s high-fidelity ER20 developed for musicians. With identical response through 4 kHz and enhanced high-frequency clarity above 4 kHz, these earplugs preserve the richness of music and clarity of speech—just quieter—with a 20-dB equal sound reduction across the spectrum of hearing.
BENEFITS

  • Reduces risk of hearing damage for many noisy occupations as well as noisy venues, such as airshows, parades, athletic events and motor sports.
  • Enhances the music experience for audiences while protecting hearing.
  • Allows musicians to hear their own instrument and their blend with others.

CHOOSING YOUR SIZE
All ears are different. It is impossible to predict the size of an ear canal by the appearance of the outer ear, or by a person’s physical size, age or gender. Two sizes of ER20 Plugs fit almost 100% of ear canals. Recent studies of both fit and seal, conducted at Etymotic Research and an independent lab, showed that the smaller of the two sizes fits the majority of ears and is now designated as standard fit.
ADJUSTING TO ETYMOTIC EARPLUGS
A little time may be required to acclimate to these earplugs. Many musicians report that they hear their own instruments better, as well as the balance with those around them.
Insert the plug by grasping the end cap and inserting the eartip until the largest flange is sealed in the ear canal entrance. To ease insertion, moisten the plug and pull the ear outward and upward. Earplugs must be inserted correctly for optimal effectiveness. To remove, use a slow twisting motion.
WHEN TO REPLACE
ER20 Plugs are reusable, but with repeated use, the eartips may lose elasticity. For best performance and retention, if you use your constantly, replace them every 3-6 months.

CLEANING

  • Do not take earplugs apart.
  • Clean after each use.
  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Do not immerse earplugs in water.
  • Do not clean with harsh chemicals.
  • Alcohol is not recommended.

Madison L. ★★★★★

Wore these to a loud concert last weekend and could still hear my friend’s voice clearly without that muffled feeling. The triple flange seal held up the whole night, even when I was dancing around. Only took them out once to check if they’d slipped—they hadn’t.

Natalie ★★★★★

I was surprised by how comfortable they are for a full concert—barely felt them after the first few minutes, and the sound was crisp without being muffled. The triple flange seal definitely stays put even when I'm moving around.

Eva ★★★★★

Wore these to a loud club show and could actually hear the band clearly without that muffled underwater feeling. The triple flange design seals well, though I did need a minute to get the fit right in my left ear. Once they're in, they stay put all night.
