Soft semi in-ear earbuds, designed to protect ear health.

WHO Training Manual

How to protect ear-canal health
  • Keep the ear dry. Don’t plug it; let air through.
  • Hygiene and wear time matter more than the device. Clean weekly and don’t share.

A soft, vented tip.

Vents let heat and moisture escape, and the tip wipes clean and dries fast.
