Elgin Discord Gen 2 Bluetooth Earplug Earbuds OSHA Compliant Noise-Isolating Safety Wireless Headphones All-Weather Earphones for Industrial Work

UPDATE: 12/1/25 by Joseph Babbitt I just bought 2 more Elgin Discord gen2 earbuds. One of mine was recently stolen and the other were damaged by ME, My Bad! They last 3 ++ times longer than cheaper earbuds out there. Why two pairs of my Elgin Gen 2 Discord? If you read my previous review below, it may help you understand why I absolutely NEED these! So now I have a back-up pair, ready for immediately use. Over, about10 yrs, I've bought several Elgin products bc of their quality and their customer service! I believe the DISCORD Gen2 are better than the Gen3's. The "2's" are a "straight line" pair, more of a direct to eardrums design. The Discord Gen 3's are set at an angle, limitimg the way they can fit in an ear; partially blocking the speakers and IMHO are uncomfortable as well. There are twice as many ears than people and their ears are/may be different ear shapes. The Rukus earbuds are "straight-line" style also, but are very lightweight to the point they may fall off without your knowledge if not clipped on securely. But now, again I have two pair of my "Anti-anxiety secret weapons!" Other earbuds didn't meet my needs. I have anxiety issues and LOUD sounds is a trigger! (But rarely by my own music) These Elgin Discord Gen 2's let's my music encompass me; while blocking out the rest of the world! I consider it my "secret weapon" when playing pool in bars, even with live bands . Some of today's "music" has way too much bass, but with these, it blocks out about 85-95 % of Booming Bass. So all I have to do is turn up my music a bit and all else fades away! And this made me so very happy! Finally, a product that actually works! The exact remedy that I've been searching for!!! Plus, the sturdy Kevlar wire strands, will out-last many other brands, saving you from having to repeatedly buy another pair of cheap earbuds. Buy these once, and take care of them, instead of multiple cheaper ones. Now, I'm a "poor boy" but this product is Definitely worth the price. If you can put a price on Serenity. The Quality of sound isn't sacrificed while blocking out loud noises. I LOVE THIS DEVICE! To underline how much; I very rarely post my opinions or experiences about anything. (because I don't like to "Feed the Machine") But I simply had to for my Elgin's Discord Gen two's. IMHO these are the best version of Elgin earbuds. Of course there is a little discomfort, if they are in your ears for a very long time. And it would be an acceptable trade off. But I just pull slightly out then push back in. The discomfort is short-lived. And the 2 hour Charge is very long lasting-10hrs+ based on my experience and use. Anxiety can stop you in your tracts, steal away happy possibilities. This has allowed me to have fun when perceived chaos is all around. So I'd say whether for work or play this product is your answer! The Only drawback is that I had trouble with the small wire clips (at least with a t-shirt). That's the Only problem I had. And it's possible I didn't do it right. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! -ENJOY Read more

I used these everyday for about 8 months. I had the cheapest version first, so I splurged on these when the earbuds tore. That model they’re not replaceable. These sound great and truly block out a lot of factory noise. One day, the left ear bud stopped working. When I took the earbuds plug portion off, I found the end of the speaker where the ear plug attaches to had broken. These are unusable now. I am going to test their 1 yr warranty. Mic quality was exceptional considering the loud environment. Easy to operate and connect to Bluetooth. Fairly long range as well. UPDATE: Filed claim thru Elgin’s website. Sent photos and they replaced with no issue. They had no idea I had already purchased the rebel wireless ear buds. I do prefer these over the rebels solely because my job requires me to move around, look up and down, crouch and the safety of the buds being connected appeal to me more. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase these again. Read more

The headphones work as expected but nothing more. The headphones block sounds from the work area and the sound quality is decent. The headphones don't have deep bass but very clear. Recommend for podcasts, audible and music that don't require deep beats or bass. The headphones are lightweight and the connection range is good. The charging is usb-C and takes 3 hours to fully charge. The set up and connection process was very simple and fast. I wish there were more ear plug sizes and that the earplugs snugged the ear a bit better. The headphones get the job done. As a note, I used headphones with sound canceling that work better under the same conditions. I think OSHA should look into that technology to approve. Break down, sound 7/10, quality 9/10, comfort 7/10, battery 10/10, durability?, overall 8/10. Read more

I work outside, on the ramp, at a major American East Coast airport. It's as noisy as you can imagine. I carry two radios for communicating with two different business partners, plus I need to be able to take phone calls from either, at any moment. The phone calls were the main issue, until I bought these. They offer true -27dB noise reduction. I have tested them literally side by side, these in one ear and OSHA approved ear plugs in the other and these live up to their advertised noise reduction capabilities. I don't listen to music on the ramp but will say that the sound quality for receiving calls is very good and I've never had anyone experience problems understanding me, even while standing within 20' of a 737 revving up its engines preparatory to departure. That said, I've worn them while listening to music on my riding mower, twice now, and the sound quality is decent, not audiophile quality but more than capable of handling any streaming music service or downloaded mp3 files without distortion. Battery life is beyond expectations. I was thinking 2, maybe three days at the most. After 7, 12-hour shifts, I was only down to 60%. Remember, I only used these for taking calls while at work plus maybe 2 hours total while mowing the lawn. They will shut down on standby, which I only experienced once. Anyway, the battery life is nothing to worry about. Edit: I have started listening to music during some of my shifts. Battery life is still remarkable and the music quality is decent. As far as comfort goes, I'm not a big fan of this style of ear plugs. They tend to hurt to my ear canals, I prefer foam plugs that can be rolled into a tight cylinder that expands into the ear canal. These became...uncomfortable...after about the 8th or 9th hour of wear? Not painful, just not...no longer noticeable...like I wanted to remove them but didn't feel I had to? Sort of weird, I know. My solution after a couple of days was just to take them out for a while during a slow period on my shift. Problem solved! Elgin makes a variety of Bluetooth-enabled hearing products. I chose these as being the cheapest "risk" and I am very happy with my choice. Give Elgin and its products a close look, and if you purchase I think you'll probably be quite satisfied, as am I.
