PRO17 Custom Earplugs

This product requires custom ear impressions to be made correctly.

Existing customers: if we have a valid ear impression on file (less than two years old), we’ll process your order and ship it as soon as your custom product is ready.

New customers: if you don’t have an ear impression on file with ACS, or if your impression is more than two years old, we’ll email you after you place your order to discuss options for getting one done.

ACS PRO17 Custom Earplugs

Custom made soft silicone earplugs. The PRO17 hearing protection filter gives the most accurate response of any hearing protector in the world. Popular with musicians, DJs, vocalists, sound engineers and frequent visitors to gigs and clubs.

For info on Colour, Grips, Cording & Laser Etching options, see the 'Optional Extras' tab below.

ACS PRO Series Filter Interchangeability

The acoustic filter in your ACS PRO custom earplugs is fully modular and can be easily swapped out. Filters in the PRO10, PRO15, PRO17, PRO20, and PRO26 range all share identical physical dimensions and are 100% interchangeable within any standard PRO series earpiece. Please note that the higher-attenuation PRO27 and PRO31 filters utilise a larger physical cavity design; while they are interchangeable with each other, they cannot be fitted into earpieces custom-moulded for the PRO10–26 filter range.

*Filter design may differ as we have a crossover in stock of new design. The technical specification of the filters remains exactly the same.

A REVOLUTION IN CUSTOM HEARING PROTECTION

The PRO17 is the flattest response filter in the PRO range. Designed specifically for musicians and vocal performers, the PRO17 gives one of the most accurate responses of any hearing protector with flat 17dB protection across the board. Keeping all frequencies in check relative to one another means you get to hear the music just as it should sound – but 17dB quieter with no loss of high or low frequencies. Not only does the PRO17 provide a balanced reproduction but, for vocal performers, its vented design reduces occlusion, giving your voice a more natural sound making the hearing protector more transparent so you can concentrate on your performance.

A STERLING PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE BOARD

The PRO17 has one of the flattest responses of any hearing protector worldwide, offering an accurate representation for anyone that requires complete fidelity from their earplugs. With an average attenuation of 17dB, the PRO17 is perfect for musicians and vocalists performing with amplification as they are able to extend your safe listening time by more than 5 times. The PRO17 keeps all the clarity of the music by attenuating evenly throughout the frequency spectrum so you can listen and perform hearing everything you usually would but at a lower, safer level.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF FILTER DESIGN

The PRO filter series has been designed anew with the wearer in mind. For starters, it's smaller than many competing filters, meaning that it can fit into smaller ears without any protrusion – which is great for both comfort and aesthetics. The filters are also user-swappable so you can chop and change as your environment demands to any other filter in the PRO range, giving you complete control over your protection with just a single set of earmoulds. In addition, the PRO series are water resistant so they can be used outside or in high moisture environments and can withstand perspiration without it damaging the filter membrane.

THE CURSE OF THE OCCLUSION EFFECT

Trying to create a natural sounding earplug is no mean feat as far as your own voice is concerned because, as you may have experienced, when you block off your ear canal your own voice starts to boom inside your head (this is what we call occlusion). This is caused by sound that is carried to your ear canal through the cartilage at the side of your head, which usually escapes through the open ear canal so is not heard. When we block off the canal this sound cannot escape and so creates that booming effect. A large amount of occlusion can be eliminated by ensuring that the earplug sits deep enough into the ear canal to extend past the cartilage. This ensures that the sound hits the plug and is deadened rather than entering the canal at all. The PRO filters go one step further by being vented to allow sound to pass both ways, meaning that remaining sound can escape directly through the filter providing one of the most natural sounding earplugs available.

TAILOR MADE FOR YOU

The PRO17 earplug is custom-made using soft medical-grade silicone so you get the very best in isolation and fit, allowing you to wear them for hours at a time without fatigue or discomfort. Each earpiece is manufactured to the highest standards ensuring you get a comfortable, discreet and effective hearing protector that can be fitted quickly, easily and securely every time.

PRO17 earplugs and filters have been tested and certified to EN352-2: The European Standard for earplug hearing protectors.

Reviews

Flawless sound

"I’ve been using these at concerts for a while - and what really impressed me is how the music is noticeably quieter without losing any clarity or detail. At stadium shows, it also helps cancel out some of the echo - giving a better overall experience. The Pro17 model feels best suited to casual / occasional use. If I was attending gigs more regularly, I’d want a higher level of noise attenuation."

Mark S. (5/5)

Very pleases

"Very pleased with my ear plugs. My impressions were taken by John during a pop up event in Glasgow. John was great and explained the process through and showed all the available products for future thought. He also took an extra impression to ensure the plugs were right first time. Turn around time was very quick. I received my plugs just over a week after the impressions were sent off. Now theyve arrived, theyre very nice quality and comfy to wear. After a few mins of them being in i forget theyre there. Would deffinately recommend to others"

Returning Customer

"I'm a professional Sound Engineer, and I use and need my ears on a daily basis to do my job. I live in London and as you can imagine it's a very noisy city. With ACS earplugs not only I can work protecting my ears, as I work in the live event industry, I'm constantly surrounded by loud music and loud venues, but I also use them while commuting to work and while I'm walking around London. I can only recommend this product is literally life changing, I couldn't imagine my daily life without them. !!!"

Stunning! They're super comfy and

"Stunning! They're super comfy and easy to place, but most importantly, you don't know they're there. Running FoH sound at an event @~87dB at FoH, ~101dB at the Mojo, I had to take one out "to see if they were working". They were! Unbelievably flat response with only a slightly greater attenuation at the low end. Hf is, as far as I can tell, completely unaffected, just quieter. So often hearing defence really colours the sound you hear. These don't! Very highly recommended. My *only* caveat is that the silicone could be 1 or 2 grades softer for increased comfort for longer wearing times, but don't let this small point put you off. Well worth the money. (FoH engineer with over 30 years experience)"

I've long considered having 'ear-protection'

"I've long considered having 'ear-protection' comes at the expense of the music, tone and experience of being there. . . no more. Just wow! The custom Pro17's are insanely comfortable and the audio performance is incredible - exactly the same as no protection, but at a lower volume. Insanely good!"

Stuart W. (5/5)

Perfect

"Bought these to reduce sound in my right ear when trying to hear comms in my left whilst working followspot in theatre. But I still need to hear the show! Generic plugs don’t fit well and come loose and so don’t block out enough sound. My ACS moulds block out just the right level, fit snuggly and are very comfortable which means I can forget about them. Not cheap, but they are the perfect solution."

"Used these for years, for djing an absolute must . Recently purchased new ones just due to time since my last pair. Always stick with ACS for my ear protection"

Rikki G. (5/5)

Replacement pair

"Thankfully landed before a festival I was going to. With the adjustments from previous pair applied to these. Great service and communication. ACS is highly recommended by me 👍🏼"

John R. (5/5)

Blown away

"Been trying various off the shelf filtered earplugs for years with naff results. Finally bit the bullet and got some of these. Absolute game changer. Super clear sound, can hear everything but at a safe volume. Wish I'd bought them years ago. Any other guitariats on the fence you must try. Probably the biggest tonal improvement you can buy Make sure you get the ones with a cord and in a bright colour so you don't loose them."
