My dad’s idea in 2003.
Our family’s craft ever since.
My dad started Big Ear in 2003 on one stubborn idea: hearing protection should be built to your ear, not crammed in and hoped for. I’ve been part of it from the start, and I needed it myself. Years of coming off the bike with my ears ringing, after every drugstore fix failed to hold. A set built to my own ears fixed what nothing else could. That’s why I never left.
Two decades on, we’re still a family business, and every set is still hand-built by our own team in the USA, for pilots, riders, shooters, musicians, swimmers, and anyone who refuses to trade their hearing for the thing they love. The people who build your set are the same people who answer the phone. That’s the point of a family doing this by hand: we stand behind every pair, and we’re not going anywhere.

What They’re Saying
Some of our customers are into their second and third decade on the same set of molds. This is what Big Ears sound like once they’re in your ears, in their own words.

★★★★★
The fit and comfort is unmatched and the build quality is impressive, but the sound is where the magic lies. I hear every nuance, even at speed on a loud bike. Definitely worth the wait.

Sixteen years of constant use and they’re still as valuable as the day I bought them. They even had my mold on file to build a fresh set. Worth their weight in gold.

★★★★★
A tad pricey, I must say, but the sound and build quality make you want to use them again and again. In the end the price seems minimal.
Chris Potter · Wireless earbuds

★★★★★
They go in fast, stay put, and are completely unnoticeable even on the longest rides. The best investment in motorcycle gear I’ve made.

Why didn’t I do this sooner?! Whether we’re on our motorcycles or the lawn mower, the sound is awesome. We both love them.

I have a very loud motorcycle; my ears would ring for hours after a ride. Now the ringing is gone and I can actually hear the music.
