From the people who wear
them daily
One pair became three, strategically placed
Bought one pair, left them at home one morning, survived a brutal commute without them, ordered two more that evening. Now there's a pair in my car, one at my desk, one by the door.
I can keep wearing them and forget that I'm even wearing them
The focus line from Klar is my new go-to earplug when studying, it blocks out all the background noise and doesn't botter my ears. I can keep wearing them and forget that I'm even wearing them in the first place.
clear focus ahead!
when it came in, it did what it supposed to do ;) ....a better then good product.
Common questions.
What does an SNR value of 19 dB indicate?
SNR (Single Number Rating) is the European measure of how much an earplug reduces noise, in decibels. At 19 dB, klar sound balance applies a lighter, even reduction tuned for fidelity rather than maximum isolation — enough to bring a loud event down to a safer level while keeping the music full and natural. We list the US equivalent (NRR 11) too. For live music, lighter and flatter is the point: it protects your hearing without flattening the sound.
Will the music still sound good, or will it be muffled?
It stays natural. Conventional earplugs muffle and dull because they cut the high frequencies hardest. klar sound balance uses a flat, linear filter that lowers volume evenly across the full frequency range, so music and voices stay clear and true — just quieter and safer.
How is sound balance different from sound protect?
Both are made for live events. sound balance (SNR 19) is tuned for fidelity — the right choice when you want the full sound experience at a safer volume. sound protect (SNR 22) brings high sound-pressure levels down further, roughly halving the sound energy reaching your ears, for the loudest sets and front-row volume where protection comes first.
Can I wear them for a whole festival or gig?
Yes. They’re made to last a full night of live sound, with a comfortable, sustained-wear shape and multiple ear-tip sizes for a secure fit. Reduced listening fatigue means you can keep them in all night.
What does “DEC Delft tested” actually mean?
Our attenuation figures come from an independent acoustic facility, not our own marketing. DEC Delft is a specialist acoustic test centre, and the flat attenuation curve behind sound balance is lab-confirmed there. Combined with audiologist-led development, it’s how we back the fidelity claim with evidence.
What’s your returns policy?
Every order is covered by 120-day hassle-free returns and a 2-year warranty, with free shipping on orders over €50. Fit and feel are personal, so if your pair isn’t right, send it back. If it’s a comfort or seal issue, try a different ear-tip size first — that solves it for most people.
