## Description

Built for Professionals Elgin Ruckus have been designed and tested for rigorous environments where long hours and heavy use are the norm. Just as any tradesman can tell you, there is a difference between a purpose-built tool for the job versus making due with something inferior. Ruckus have been designed from the ground up with durability and quality in mind in the toughest use-case scenarios. That is the difference between any old regular earbud and Elgin Ruckus earplug headphones: they were made for this. Immerse Yourself in Your Work Whether hard on the job with nail guns and miter saws, or just trying to tune out subtle, nagging noises, Ruckus are made to ensure focus. It's all about getting you in your state of flow where time disappears and your mind locks into the task at hand and nothing else. This is where you put your soul into your craft and create your masterpieces. By eliminating distraction you'll be absorbed by your work and the results will be undeniable. Safest, Softest, Most Durable Silicone Using biocompatible USP Class 5 medical grade silicone we are able to ensure no irritation to any skin type. Elgin designers used anthropometric scaling to calculate the optimal size and fitment for the user. Our earplug silicone tips are all load tested as well to ensure they will always work as hard as you do. Triple Molded Audio Jack Our proprietary audio jack design uses overmolding technology to create three different layers using different materials to create a tough vault for the wired connection. In fact, the ELGIN logo is actually functional in anchoring the outer material layers together for ironclad durability that will keep you connected through the harshest environments. Cut the Noise Crank the Tunes Our speaker drivers were specially developed and are built just for us. Because of the unique design of having a speaker molded into a sealed earplug, we had to rethink how to create a dynamic, full-range sound without the venting/porting that most tr

Review: First of all, these are $20 ear buds and this review is based off of that fact. If you want audiophile level products, don’t buy $20 ear buds. I feel like I’m writing a don’t drink the drain cleaner warning ⚠️! I bought these to use with my motorcycle helmet. I have just received them today and haven’t done any riding with them yet, but, I have put my helmet on with them in my ears and it was fairly uneventful. If you’re a motorcycle rider and have been looking for under helmet earbuds, you’ll appreciate that statement. I can feel a little pressure with the helmet on, but, I’m sure that will fade with use. As with any new earplug or earbud, there is an acclimation process. I work in the mining industry where hearing protection is mandatory. I know a little bit about the subject because of that. These ear buds do cancel out a good bit of noise. If you put them in correctly they work great as ear plugs. (To put them in, put your right arm over your head and with your fingers grab the top of your left ear. Pull up and back just a little and insert the earbud with your left hand. No need to jam the thing clear to your ear drum! Repeat for the right ear. Also use this same method to remove them. Do not grab the wire and pull. Grab the silicone sleeve the wire sticks out of and pull the earbud out.) Some reviews complain of poor sound quality. I disagree. I am quite pleasantly surprised with the audio quality of these buds. The bass is plenty good enough and actually quite good. The mid range is good, but, the highs are little lacking giving it just a hint of muffled sound. Still, overall these earbuds do sound good. I find these earbuds to be comfortable. As I have already stated, any new in ear device is going to take some time to get acclimated to. Having said that, these seem to be pretty good from the start for me. Some people have said that they are too big for their ears. That is understandable for some people. These have a speaker in them so the they aren’t quite as small around the base or as flexible as stand alone ear plugs of this design. So, I can see where some people might have a problem with that. I find the volume level to be more than sufficient. Some reviews say they are too quiet. Not sure what is going on there. Max volume on my Samsung Galaxy and My iPhone XS is a bit uncomfortably loud for me, however they are still clear and no distortion is noticeable. As I said, I just received these today and these are my impressions so far. I hope to do some riding tonight to test these out under riding conditions and add to this review how they performed. I hope to be able to come back to this review months down the road to say they are still working well. We will see! EDIT: After a couple of days of riding I am happy to report that these are incredible. Too incredible, as a matter of fact. The noise cancelling is so good that don’t hear some of the things I probably need to hear. Having said that, they perform quite well. The audio quality while riding is great. Without a helmet you get some noise from the wind blowing on the wires, but, it does not over power the audio. With a helmet it is a very quiet ride except for what ever music or audio you choose to listen too.
Review: Rode 2000 miles around Europe with these under the bike helmet. Cuts down the roar of the road and bike by about 50% , so you can still hear enough of what’s around you , while getting a feed of music and directions from your phone too. Used in conjunction with a little APEKX Bluetooth receiver in my inside pocket , so my phone could be charging at the same time on the handlebars.

Excelentísimos aparatos para poder trabajar y escuchar música a gusto solo que no hay refacciones para las gomitas por lo que cuando se acaban dejan de servir los auriculares por completo como quiera le doy un 9 de 10 porque sí me hicieron un gran favor mientras trabajaba cuánto duraron las gomitas
