SleepPhones Wireless Bluetooth headphones are a superb gift for anyone who wants to listen to music while sleeping. SleepPhones feature two flat, flexible speakers embedded in a super soft fleece headband. The headband keeps the speakers comfortably in position all night, and SleepPhones are comfortable enough to please even those who sleep on their sides.
The best feature of these SleepPhones is, however, that they are wireless. A Bluetooth-enabled music player is required (such as a smart phone or computer). Simply sync up the Wireless SleepPhones -- a ghost voice coming over the speakers will assist you with this process -- and you can listen freely for up to 30 feet away from your sound source. No matter what you listen to or how much you roll over in your sleep, you will never get tangled up in wires.
Wireless SleepPhones provide good quality sound that makes them great for more than just sleeping. You can wear SleepPhones while relaxing, without having to adjust your headphones if you need to get up and move around. You can even wear SleepPhones while you clean house: just set your Bluetooth sync'ed phone down in the middle of the room, and then enjoy your favorite tunes hands-free while you move freely -- with no tangly wires to get caught in the vacuum cleaner. And for frequent travelers, SleepPhones provide a super comfortable way to relax during flight, and can help you get to sleep more quickly and comfortably once you reach your hotel room. These nifty little wonders even use a simple micro-USB charger, so you can recharge your Wireless SleepPhones virtually anywhere you go.
Wireless SleepPhones truly deliver on their promise: they are the real deal for anyone who wants to listen to music while going to sleep.
Put SleepPhones on your Christmas shopping list this year, and you will absolutely delight the music lovers you love.
Until next time, be safe and love your ears.

Why they're cool: These variable noise reduction ear plugs feature attached stoppers that allow you to change how you hear -- and how much protection you're getting -- on the fly. With the stoppers open, you can clearly hear everything around you, while internal Hocks Noise Braker filters reduce only dangerous sounds. Alternatively, close the stoppers for NRR 28 protection.
Why you'll love them: These are fantastic ear plugs for motorcycle riders. The ergonomic design makes them comfortable and ensures they won't fall out, and the low-profile fit means the SureFire EP7 fits comfortably under a helmet. With the stoppers out, you can cut the irritating wind noise -- and you can still hear important sounds like traffic signals, voices, alarms, and the throaty rumble of your engine.

Mother's Day is Almost Here!
Give her a gift she'll love this Mother's Day: Sunday, May 12th, 2013.
There are all kinds of moms out there, and we at Ear Plug Superstore understand that you know your mom best. You know what she loves and hates. You know what music she listens to. You know whether she goes hunting or swimming or prefers to stay indoors, and you know whether she works in an office, at a factory, or whether she's a full-time mom. So this year for Mother's Day, we want to offer some gift ideas that are truly eclectic -- truly something for every mom!
We know your mom is unique. You know exactly what she'll love.
Find the Perfect Gift for Every Mom!
Moms with Young Kids | ||
Taking care of little kids is always a big challenge, particularly when it comes to protecting their tiny ears. If the special mom in your life is taking care of of a baby or toddler, then we highly recommend a pair of Earmuffs for Children and Babies. These earmuffs for children will let mom enjoy noisy events (parades, fireworks, concerts, races, sporting events, and more) with the kids. What mom doesn't want to get out more? |
The Working Mom | ||
Work is a big part of anyone's life, so why not make those working hours more comfortable for mom? For moms who work in factories or in other loud conditions, a set of Earphones for Work could help her enjoy the tunes she loves while protecting her hearing. Or for moms who work in an office setting, a nice Marsona SoundScreen White Noise Machine could help her block out irritating workplace noises to concentrate better and work more comfortably.
|
Moms Who Have Trouble Sleeping | ||
Whether it's because of a snoring spouse, noisy neighbors, traffic, or some other irritating night-time noise, most of us aren't getting enough sleep -- and this is especially true for moms! Soft foam earplugs for sleeping, like Sleep Pretty in Pink earplugs, are a great way to help mom block out the noise and get the rest she needs. If she doesn't like wearing earplugs, or the earplugs alone aren't enough, a Marsona SleepMate White Noise Machine on the bedside table can help block out irritating nighttime sounds. And any mom who has trouble sleeping would probably enjoy a Mack's Sleep Mask, so she can sleep like a movie star anywhere, anytime.
|
The Shooting Mom | ||
Being a woman isn't all about manicures and fancy shoes! Lots of moms out there enjoy adventurous hobbies like hunting and shooting. For the shooting mom, we highly recommend a set of Pro Ears Sporting Clay Gold Electronic Shooting Earmuffs. These top-of-the-line electronic earmuffs are some of the best shooting hearing protection available, and they come in a variety of colors -- including both pink, and pink RealTree camo, so she doesn't have to sacrifice feminine fashion for the sake of hearing protection safety! This is a truly unique gift for the mom who loves hunting and shooting, and unlike candy or flowers, these earmuffs are something she can use and enjoy for years. |
Moms Who Love Music | ||
Music is a wonderful part of life, and if your mom is a music-lover, we've got a variety of gifts that will be right up her alley. For concerts, we suggest the popular ER-20 Musician's Ear Plugs (in the smaller "standard" size) -- they'll protect her hearing at even the loudest of concerts, but their no-distortion design means she won't miss out on the music the way it was meant to be heard. If she records with a band, or just wants audiophile-quality earphones to use at home, a pair of Shure SRH940 Professional Reference Headphones will knock her socks off. Finally, a set of AM/FM Radio Earmuffs might be the perfect gift for the busy mom who wants to listen to music while protecting her hearing as she works around the house, garage, and yard. |
The Swimming Mom |
With summer right around the corner, it's time to stock up for swim season! If your mom loves to spend time at the pool or on the beach, we recommend a Adult Swim Protection Pack. It's loaded with swim and water earplugs with many different kinds to try out, and the bundled package means big savings. A Mack's Ear Dryer also makes a great gift for the mom who loves to swim: it's safe and portable, it'll help dry her ears out after a dip to help prevent swimmer's ear -- and if mom's going swimming with the kids, she can use it to keep their little ears dry, too!
|
Moms Who Love TV | ||
![]() |
Watching TV is a great way to relax after a long day of motherhood, and if your mom's an avid TV-lover, she'll absolutely love the Unisar TV Listener. This wireless TV headset system will seriously enhance her TV-watching experience by delivering crystal-clear stereo sound directly from the TV to her ears. If mom is a little hard of hearing, using the TV Listener headset will let her hear the TV clearly without deafening the rest of the family. And it's also great for the mom who wants to watch TV in bed without disturbing her sleeping spouse!
|
The Mom Who Just Wants Peace and Quiet! | ||
Finally, we come to Ear Plug Superstore's ultimate specialty: peace and quiet. A pair of Quies Boules Wax and Cotton Earplugs will provide luxurious sound blocking plus ultimate comfort -- and you know they're a quality gift because they're imported straight from France! Alternatively, Mack's Dreamgirl Foam Earplugs are some of the softest foam earplugs available, they're pretty and pink, and they work great for helping mom sleep or relax. | ||
And our favorite peace-and-quiet gift has to be the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy White Noise Machine. One of the best white noise generators out there, the Sound Oasis offers a variety of lovely white noise background sounds to help mom create a soothing ambient atmosphere for sleeping or just getting some much-needed relaxation time at the end of a long day. (Alternatively, White Noise CDs offer a variety of soothing white noise sounds, and while they don't provide the same sound quality as a white noise machine, they're much less expensive, and they're portable -- mom can use them in any CD-player or even on her laptop, to take the benefits of calming white noise with her anywhere she goes!) |
We hope that the above gift ideas can help you find the perfect gift for the unique mom in your life -- whether she's your own mom, the mother of your children, or a relative or family friend with kids. We know first-hand that being a mom isn't easy, and that the work of motherhood is never done. For these reasons and many more, moms truly deserve a special day to honor their hard work, love, and commitment.
Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Ear Plug Superstore!
Until next time, be safe and love your mom!

Ah, Thanksgiving. For many of us, that means the big three: food, family, and football! With Thanksgiving coming up next week, there's just enough time left to pick up some NFL Ear Plugs for your annual Thanksgiving football-watching ritual.
Now, if you happen to actually be going to the stadium, you'll definitely want to wear your NFL ear plugs, support your favorite team, and protect your hearing from the roar of the crowd.
But even if you'll be watching from your comfy couch instead of the stands, NFL Ear Plugs are a terrific Thanksgiving gift or game watch party favor.
Picture it: your loved ones have had a fabulous meal, they're all gathering around the TV to watch the game, and you come over with a tray of -- what? Nuts? Pie? No! Hand out your team's favorite ear plugs to the family instead of that third (or fourth...) piece of pumpkin pie, and they'll still be talking about Thanksgiving at your house by the time the holidays are long over.
(By the way, NFL Ear Plugs would make a great Christmas gift for your sports-fan friends and family.)
For your convenience, here's a handy Thanksgiving football schedule:

Until next time, be safe and love your ears!

Back in October, we at EPSS had the opportunity to donate some foam ear plugs to the University of Florida's chapter of the NSSLHA (National Student Speech Language Hearing Association). Our contact with this organization, Jillian, just sent us this fabulous letter and photos of her and her group handing out free ear plugs at games, concerts, and around campus. This is great!
Jillian writes:
Hi Sarah!
How are you? NSSLHA has had a fun past few weeks handing out ear plugs
to students! We have handed out probably half of the ear plugs you
donated so far. We went to an open Mic Night on October 11th, and the
performers and audience members were so appreciative of the ear plugs.
Yesterday and today, we had our members hand out free ear plugs on
campus, and we got a lot of great feedback from students as well. Here
are some pictures from the events! I also went to a concert last
night, and I brought along with me my handy dandy ear plugs! We
weren't allowed to hand out ear plugs at this concert because they
didn't allow outside vendors or any outside products in the venue, but
luckily I brought a few extra pairs for the people around me :)
Everyone was so thankful because the venue was SO loud, and we could
still enjoy the music with our ear plugs in.
Thanks again so much for everything! The website looks great! I am so
happy we were able to work together to reach out to student to protect
their hearing. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Best,
Jillian
Aww, that sounds wonderful!!
Too cool! Thanks for setting such a great example for others, Jillian, and for working so hard to help educate young people about the value of hearing protection! We at EPSS are proud to support all your hard work, and we hope to hear from you again soon!
Until next time, be safe and love your ears!

There are many factors to consider whenever you choose a hearing protector: how much noise reduction do you need, what kind of noise do you need protection from, what shape and size your ears are, how comfortable your hearing protection will be for extended wear, and much more. That's why we at EPSS work so hard to help you choose the right hearing protection for your unique ears!
With that in mind, here's a pro tip: As we move into winter, consider the colder weather when you're deciding on which kind of hearing protection to pick -- and think about choosing ear muffs instead of ear plugs.
For example, if you're a hunter, choose electronic shooting ear muffs instead of ear plugs to give your hearing performance a boost and keep your ears significantly warmer.
And for jobs around the house (just because mowing season is over doesn't mean the honey-do list goes into hibernation for the winter!), some AM/FM radio ear muffs can let you listen to music and also help keep your ears insulated against the cold.
In general, just keep in mind that ear muffs are always going to be warmer to wear than ear plugs. How much warmer depends on the ear muffs. Of course, hearing protection ear muffs aren’t designed with warmth in mind, but because ear muffs always require a good seal all the way around the ear to be effective, that means ear muffs, by nature, trap warmth, block cold wind, and therefore provide some relief from winter weather.
(And if you're thinking that same ear muff warmness-factor can make ear plugs a more comfortable solution for many general hearing protection applications in the summertime, you're absolutely right.)
So as the temperatures continue to drop, and you find yourself in need of hearing protection for noisy outdoor activities, consider picking up a set of ear muffs instead of ear plugs. We offer everything from high-end electronic shooter's ear muffs to passive, non-electronic ear muffs that actually cost less than some of the higher-end ear plugs out there!
Additionally, our ear muffs for hat wearers can give you the hearing protection you need and some extra insulation from the cold for your ears, and you can still comfortably wear your favorite warm winter hat, too!
Note: Having a fuzzy poofball on top of said warm winter hat is optional and will not alter the effectiveness of the ear muffs, but we highly encourage it. ‘Tis the season, after all.
Until next time, be safe and love your ears!
