What skydivers say
A Must Have For Skydivers!
These ear plugs have quickly become one of the most valuable pieces of gear I own for skydiving. Hearing protection is something every skydiver should take seriously, from the aircraft to freefall and countless hours in the wind tunnel, the noise exposure adds up over time. The full-protection plugs are perfect for tunnel training. They significantly reduce the constant wind noise while remaining comfortable enough to wear through extended sessions. For jumping, the filtered plugs are outstanding. They make it much easier than your run of the mill plugs to equalize on the ride to altitude, and in freefall, while still allowing me to clearly hear and communicate with my teammates on the plane, and stay aware of everything happening around me. In freefall and under canopy, they take the edge off the wind noise without making me feel disconnected. The fit and comfort are second to none, and knowing my hearing is protected every time I jump or fly in the tunnel gives me peace of mind. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or training every day, they’re an investment in your long-term hearing health that’s absolutely worth making. Oh, and did I mention the top notch Customer Service? I had the privilege of being able to order my plugs in person at a Boogie. Stone and Casey are very passionate and knowledgeable, and just all around down to earth people. 100/10 highly recommended. You won’t regret it!

See the fit
In by hand, in seconds.
Soft silicone, molded to your ear canal. Line it up, press and turn, and it seats flush. Shown at real speed.
Hand-built in the USA
Made for your ears alone.
Not assembled overseas, not drop-shipped, not rushed. One pair at a time, for one set of ears at a time. We are proud of that, and we think you can hear the difference.
The problem with universal earbuds
Universal earbuds and IEMs were never shaped to your ears.
Foam and silicone tips are built for an average ear, so they rock loose, leak the low end, and ache after an hour. A shell molded to you fixes all of it at once.
The Big Ear difference
Molded to your ears. Tuned to your sound.
We take a separate impression of each ear and build a custom shell around your drivers, from a single transducer up to eight. A sealed custom fit gives you the full low end, real isolation, and all-day comfort a universal tip cannot. You pick the driver count for the detail and separation you want.
More drivers means more separation between instruments. Start where you are, step up when you are ready.
How it works
What a transducer is, and why more of them means more sound.
A transducer is the tiny engine inside an earphone. It takes the electrical signal from your source and turns it into the sound you hear. In a custom in-ear, each transducer is a precision driver smaller than a grain of rice, built to move air with extraordinary accuracy.
One transducer has to reproduce everything on its own, from the lowest bass to the highest detail. It can, the way one voice can carry a whole song. But the extremes always give a little. Add transducers and you can split the work. A crossover sends the lows to a driver built for lows, the mids to one built for mids, and the highs to one built for highs. Each does a single job perfectly instead of every job adequately.
That is what you hear as you climb the ladder: bass with real weight, mids that stay honest, highs with air, and above all separation. Instead of every instrument fighting through one driver, each sits in its own space, so you can follow the bass line, the vocal, and the cymbal at once. More drivers also mean more headroom, so loud, busy passages stay clean instead of breaking up.
Here is the part most brands skip. Drivers only perform if the seal is perfect, and no universal tip ever seals an ear it was not made for. We mold every shell to an impression of your exact ear in our own soft silicone, so the fit is complete, the isolation is total, and the drivers deliver everything they are capable of. The sound you paid for is the sound you actually get.

The detail
In the plane and under canopy, the wind and engine roar drown out your audible and your own thoughts. Generic earbuds fall out on exit and let the blast straight in.
A single-transducer earphone molded to your ears locks in through the climb, the exit, and the whole descent, sealing the roar down to a manageable level while your audible and comms come through clear. Soft custom silicone you can forget you are wearing, jump after jump.
Hear what matters at terminal velocity.
