Heavy Duty Earplug Cup
The rugged screw-top case that keeps your custom pair together, clean and impossible to lose — our most popular accessory, and the best two dollars you’ll spend on hearing protection.
A custom set of Big Ears is built to last for years — if you treat it right. The fastest way to ruin that investment is to lose one plug down a car seat or crush a pair loose in a bag. A few smart add-ons fix that: a rugged case that keeps your pair together, a screw-in lanyard so they never hit the ground, and adapters that turn the Big Ears you already own into a wireless headset or a radio earpiece. Little upgrades, hand-picked to protect what you paid for and get more out of every set.
Custom hearing protection isn’t disposable foam; it’s a precision-molded set built to last for years. The two things that cut that life short are simple and avoidable: losing a plug, and crushing or dirtying a pair that wasn’t stored right. A two-dollar case and a ten-dollar lanyard quietly prevent the most expensive mistake there is — having to replace a set you should have kept for a decade.
The rest of the lineup is about doing more with the Big Ears you already own. A Bluetooth receiver turns a wired set wireless for calls and music; a radio earpiece wires you into clear two-way comms; and our care and repair program keeps every set performing like new. Small parts, hand-picked because they actually work with our products — and every one backed by the same guarantee as the plugs themselves.
None of these cost much. Every one of them protects a set that cost a lot more — or makes it do more.
A screw-in lanyard and a rugged case keep your pair together and off the ground — the cheapest insurance against an expensive replacement.
Proper storage keeps your custom set clean, intact and performing for years instead of seasons.

A custom radio earpiece wires you into your two-way for clear communication on the job or the trail.
Every accessory is hand-picked to work with our products and stands behind the same Big Ear guarantee.

From a two-dollar case to wireless and comms adapters, find the add-ons that protect your set and make it do more.
A great custom set should outlast a dozen bags of foam — but only if it survives daily life. The people who keep their Big Ears for years are the ones who clipped on a lanyard, dropped them in a case, and never gave losing them a second thought. For the price of a coffee, you protect a set worth far more — and when life does happen, our repair program brings them back. Built once, made to last.
