Overview

The MaxiPlug Quiet Band is a class 3 hearing protector on a band, rated at 19dB, designed for intermittent noise exposure. The lightweight and durable band keeps the pods in place while reducing pressure on the ear canal, and the pods are washable, reusable and replaceable. It can be worn under the chin or behind the neck, and the design prevents the ear pods touching dirty surfaces when they hang at rest.

An earplug band is the right tool when you are in and out of loud areas all day, because you can drop the band to rest around the neck between exposures and lift it back into place in a second. It is not a replacement for a full earmuff on continuous loud noise, but for intermittent noise it is far more practical than taking disposable plugs in and out.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use an earplug band?

An earplug band suits intermittent noise, where you are moving in and out of loud areas. The band rests around the neck or under the chin between exposures and lifts into place in a second, which is more practical than repeatedly inserting and removing disposable plugs.

What is the noise rating?

The band is rated class 3 with an SLC80 rating of 19dB, certified to AS/NZS 1270:2002. Class 3 covers moderate noise levels; for continuous loud noise you would move up to a class 5 earmuff or a higher rated plug.

Can the pods be replaced?

Yes. The pods are washable, reusable and replaceable, and each band includes an extra pair of pods. The replacement pod code is HQB678, so you can keep the band in service and swap in fresh pods as they wear. The band is small enough to carry in a pocket, so hearing protection is never left back in the ute.
