Tune the exact shade with the color field, hue slider, and precise HEX / RGB / HSV inputs — the panel updates live. Choose your shell size and filter, then start your order with a home impression kit.
Start here. Choose Filtered if you want to hear what's around you while staying protected, or Solid for maximum quiet.
A larger shell seals more sound and feels more secure; a smaller shell sits lower in the ear and is less visible. Same price either way.
Choose how much sound your filter lets through — lower dB lets you hear more, higher dB blocks more. Each level is color-coded to make it easy.

How it works
Your ears don't change when you switch hobbies, so your protection shouldn't either. The same custom-molded shell that protects a musician on stage protects a rider at 80 mph, a dentist over a drill, a pilot in the cockpit, and a machinist on the floor. You buy the fit once and adapt it to the moment by changing the filter — not by buying a different product.
"Turn the room down, not off."
The colored, interchangeable filters. Each lowers every frequency by about the same amount, so sound keeps its natural balance — voices, music, and warnings stay clear, just safely quieter. This is what makes the plugs hi-fi. Levels: 9, 15, 20, 25, and 30 dB.
"Open when it's quiet, clamped when it's loud."
A separate, level-dependent filter. It passes normal sound almost untouched so you keep full situational awareness, then automatically tightens against sudden, dangerous peaks — a gunshot, a backfire, an impact. Protection arrives only when the noise spikes.
Every off-the-shelf product makes you pick one behavior and live with it. Because the Big Ear shell is custom and the filters are interchangeable, you carry both and match the filter to the environment in seconds. No foam plug, and no single-filter "musician" plug, can match that range at this fidelity.
Maximum sealed silence. No filter path — the custom shell simply blocks. For sleep, heavy machinery, or any time you want the most reduction and don't need to hear in.
Adaptive protection that keeps you connected to sound while protecting you, with the filter swapped to the situation. Choose this when you still need to hear — with studio-grade clarity.
| Tier | Price | What you get | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $224.95 | The custom filtered shell + one flat-attenuation filter of your choice. | You know the one environment you need. |
| Select | $299.95 | The shell + any two flat-attenuation filters you pick. | You move between two settings and want to swap. |
| Premium | $574.95 | The shell + all five flat filters + the non-linear filter + solid Full-Stop blockers + a tactical radio earpiece. The complete system. | You want every environment covered out of the box, from hi-fi listening to dead silence. |
The shell and fit are identical across all three — what you buy up the ladder is range. Start at Standard and add filters anytime; you're never locked in.
