The SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders (SureFire part no. EP3-BK-LPR) are double-flanged earplugs built to protect against noise-induced hearing loss without cutting off routine conversation or range commands. A proprietary noise-reducing filter lets safe sound levels pass through while reducing potentially harmful noise above 85 dB, so shooters keep situational awareness between shots. Removable filter caps snap in for added protection when blocking out lower-level ambient noise, like on a flight, is more useful than hearing it. Built from a soft, hypoallergenic polymer, the EP3 is comfortable enough for all-day wear on the range, in the field, or under a headset.
