"Do not purchased from here. They may not honor your purchase in good faith. If I could give negative stars, I would. I placed an order for shooting electronic earmuffs in early Jan 2021. Website said it was in stock and the price was right; actually it was the lowest, but only a few dollars less than another site/merchant I could have used. Well 2 weeks went by, then I received an email, which went into spam. They sent 2 more, every day or so after, all going into spam, No phone call. Then got email in inbox saying they canceled the order. That is when I found the emails in spam. I contacted them and said, no still want it. Their emails would say item backordered, and offered me another model that I did not want. Then they said, they would have manufacturer dropship. But then they said item was discontinued by manufacturer. I called manufacturer, not true!
And if I changed the color of the item, they had a desirable color is stock. Back to merchant, they said, no we will not sell that model anymore, if you don't take a different model, we cannot help you.
My suspicion; taking new inventory, even just one to sell to me, they would have lost money! So they refused to honor the sale. Do not buy from them, this is no way to do business!"
"Received my earplugs (15dB) promptly after I made my custom molds at home. Sent them a picture of my molds, the company liked the result, so I sent them in. They came back safely packaged and work great! The highs are a little "low", but probably the best that can be done. The service and communication was terrific. I was a little nervous trying to make my own molds, but never felt alone, the instructions were clear, and the communication was terrific. Amber, the customer representative helped me through everything and kept us up to date on the progress of the order. I love to go to live shows and these have worked great so far!"
"Spent $700. Purchase not received and communication has ceased. Horrible experience."
"great service and very fast delivery to new zealand (3 days)
good communication
the earmuffs are awesome !!"
"i got a custom molded set of earplugs. the fit is ok. its my third set, first from this company. It took a long time to get them, about 3 weeks and when I got them the fit wasn't great. it was ok, barely. The sound however was terrible. They sounded like an old tinny am radio. no bass at all. If you turned the volume up at all it distorted right away and there was no treble. These are not my first custom molded ear plugs. I have had 2 others from 2 different companies and they sounded fine. nothing special, just the standard set. These were a very unwelcome surprise. I ended up putting them away in a drawer and they are gathering dust they sound so bad. I went to a festival in SD. and got a standard set there. I picked them up the day after I ordered them and they sound great just like the 2 earlier sets i have had. I will NEVER go to this company again."
"DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!! I placed my order with the correct information, and the next day they called saying that they called my bank and that none of the information matched the card I used. I have only live at ONE PLACE. They gave me a phone number of my "bank" and told me to call and see what was on their files. Thing was is that the representative told me that I'd need to give my SSN and answer all security questions. Thing was, I checked and they gave me a totally bogus number that wasn't even for my bank! Sketchy! All they want is to get your personal information! I immediately cancelled my order and they wouldn't even give me a cancellation number. Order at your own risk."
"I recently purchased the Ear Plug Superstore's "Challengers" http://www.earplugstore.com/noname11.html
I was a little intimidated by the "impression kit" at first, but after reading the detailed instructions, and asking my friend to help, my impressions turned out fine! It was really nice to get a response from the Ear Plug Superstore when my impressions were received and going on to the lab. The company kept me constantly informed on my purchase's progress.
When I received the finished Challengers, I did end up having a fit issue, but the Ear Plug Superstore took them back without hesitation, and had them re-made. Normally a company would have you pay for a guarantee like that!
I now have a great set of Challengers I use almost every day for running. I actually enjoyed cutting the grass this year because of these custom headphones, and I'm excited to use them on my next plane-ride.
It's amazing to be able to protect your hearing and listen to your favorite tunes at the same time. I couldn't give a higher recommendation for this product or this company and their great customer service."
"I am warning you, DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE !!! At least NOT custom ear phones or custom molded tips. Check out epinions website for more unsatisfied customers. EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE WILL NOT uphold their policy. Here it is, directly from their website :
Our return policy for custom fitted ear plugs and ear molds is for fit only, not for function. If the custom fitted plugs or molds do not fit properly on the first try, we will remake them at no charge if you send us another set of impressions, but we cannot refund your money. In this manner, fit is guaranteed for 90 days from the date of purchase.
I am a musician and audio engineer and I love listening to music at the gym. I emailed EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE about getting CUSTOM EAR PHONES. They did not tell me that they could send me a kit for free to make the molds, so I assumed that I had to go to an audiologist to have them professionally made. This is what I did when I had my custom ear PLUGS made several years ago by a different company. The cost of having the audiologist make the molds was $50. The cost of the CUSTOM EAR PHONES was close to $200.
The CUSTOM EAR PHONES they sent me fit poorly, sounded like garbage and had a ton of noise if I used them with my iphone (no noise with ipod). Those would have to be re-made regardless of the sound quality issue since the fit was all wrong. I asked if I could get CUSTOM EAR TIPS to use for my Etymotic ear phones and they said they would do that, but not refund the difference (the TIPS were cheaper than EAR PHONES which had electronics in them). I was fine with that because ultimately I wanted to have excellent sounding and fitting ear phones. And it was a better deal for them since it would be cheaper to make.
This time I used one of their home kits and made the molds myself. I sent them the molds and I was told they looked great. A few weeks later they sent me the TIPS that attach to my ear phones. One of them was uncomfortable after about 20 minutes and the other one did not SEAL shut. If you are familiar with ear phones designed to seal into your ear canal, you know that if you don't have a seal, you lose all of the bass response. It completely defeats the purpose of the ear phone design. Try this, put on your ipod ear phones on in a noisy environment and as you are listening, cup the palms of your hands over your ears and press against your head gently. WOW, sounds MUCH better, right? You've blocked out the noise while increasing the definition and bass response of the music.
EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE was very polite and helpful and willing to make a new set. After all, they will remake them at no charge according to their website. They told me they were committed to getting it right. I used their home kit again and a few weeks later I received my 2nd set of ear phone TIPS. These had the same problem except that the one that sealed would painfully pop unsealed if I moved my head too far in one direction.
At this point, EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE told me that I should go to an audiologist to have the molds made. Since I had already done this and paid for it myself, I asked if they were going to pay for me to go to an EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE approved audiologist. They were not affiliated with ANY audiologists and were not willing to pay for me to go to anyone. I didn't see the point in ME paying to go to an audiologist when I had already done that and the molds were no good.
Several months had gone by and I had completely lost confidence in EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE, so I politely asked for a refund - that's when everything changed. Not only were they not going to give me a refund, they were completely ignoring my emails. I asked that my situation be moved up to higher management, I wanted to speak to the owner, nothing. If they didn't want to give me a refund, then they needed to send me another kit, but they refused. So basically, if your custom ear tips or ear phones or ear plugs don't fit well the first time, you better hope they get it right the second time. And whatever you do, DON'T ask for a refund. I had to call them and give them a fake name to get to Tammy, one of the people I was dealing with. Why did I do that, I asked her? Well because they were IGNORING MY EMAILS, of course. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! So Tammy tells me that that they would NOT make any more tips and that she would send me ONE pair of the crappy tips they had already made. So I had to choose between a pair that didn't seal or a pair that was irritating after 20 minutes do to a bad fit. OH, and don't forget that painful pop that would occur if I moved my head. Awesome!
Since I have a job and things to do, I don't have time and it would not be worth it to sue EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE. However, fortunately I have downtime at that job and I am more than willing to spend an hour typing up this review to post on as many review websites as I can. I have never reviewed a product before, but I do rely on the reviews online. If one person reads this and chooses not to do business with EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE, then my time was well spent. What was not well spent was every dime EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE received from me so I could have a pair of "custom" ear phone tips that completely suck."
"Placed order Tuesday morning, received it Friday. I like that USPS shipping is offered. No complaints."
"Everything with this transaction was positive. I have no coplaints and would use The Ear Plug Super Store again in the future, and plan to soon."
