Sennheiser has launched SoundProtex, a new line of hearing protection earplugs designed to offer a safe and enjoyable listening experience in loud environments, in India. SoundProtex earplugs aim to address concerns that traditional earplugs can muffle sound and detract from the listening experience, particularly at concerts and festivals.
The SoundProtex earplugs utilize patented membrane filter technology to reduce potentially harmful volume levels while preserving sound quality. Sennheiser claims this technology allows for a balanced and full frequency sound experience, unlike standard earplugs that can often mask higher frequencies crucial for speech comprehension.
The earplugs feature a two-stage filter system combining a tuned membrane and sound-dampening mesh to reduce high and low frequencies equally. This design aims to maintain ambient awareness, enabling wearers to engage in conversations without removing the earplugs.
SoundProtex earplugs are reusable and can be cleaned with water or a wipe. They come with three different ear tip sizes and a carrying pouch for convenience. The earplugs are made from medical-grade TPE material, which is free of plasticizers and designed to avoid skin irritation.
Beyond concerts and festivals, Sennheiser suggests SoundProtex can be used in various settings, including noisy offices, while traveling, or during meditation. The product includes a full block filter for situations where complete noise elimination is desired, such as for sleep or swimming.
Pricing and availability
The Sennheiser SoundProtex earplugs are priced at Rs. 1,990 will be available for purchase starting January 10th, 2025, on Sennheiser’s website and Amazon.in.
