Improve audio audibility
Product Description
The RealWear Ear Bud Hearing Protection Headphones are industrial earbuds designed for RealWear assisted-reality workflows in high-noise environments. They provide a listed 33 dB Noise Reduction Rating while routing headset audio directly to the wearer, helping workers hear remote experts, instructions, and device feedback where open speakers may be difficult to hear. The headphones use replaceable foam tips and connect through the RealWear audio interface. For organizations deploying Navigator 520 devices in noisy facilities, the accessory can support clearer communication and hearing-protection workflows, subject to the organization's own PPE assessment and site safety requirements.

Reduce ambient noise
The earbuds provide a listed 33 dB NRR using foam hearing-protection tips designed to reduce surrounding workplace noise.
- 33 dB NRR
- Foam tips
This can help workers hear Navigator audio and remote guidance more clearly in loud environments where the headset's open speakers may be insufficient.
Direct device audio
The headphones connect to the RealWear headset so calls, prompts and application audio are delivered directly to the wearer.
- Direct audio
- Hands-free workflow
For remote support and guided work, this can improve communication consistency while keeping the worker's hands available for the task.
Replaceable ear tips
The foam tips are replaceable, allowing worn or shared-contact components to be changed without replacing the complete headphone assembly.
- Replaceable tips
- Shared-use support
This supports professional maintenance and hygiene routines for organizations operating equipment across multiple users or shifts.
RealWear earbuds for business
The RealWear Ear Bud Hearing Protection Headphones are industrial earbuds for RealWear Navigator 520 workflows in high-noise environments. They combine a listed 33 dB Noise Reduction Rating with a direct 3.5 mm connection to the headset, so hearing protection and device audio come from one accessory instead of two competing ones. VR Expert AI supplies them to plants, utilities and field service teams standardizing audio across a RealWear fleet.
Volume pricing and bulk orders
As a RealWear distributor, VR Expert AI offers volume pricing and business invoicing on earbuds and replacement foam tips. Most deployments order one set per assigned worker plus spare tips per shared device. Request a quote with your headcount, and we'll confirm pricing, availability and lead times.
Audio you can actually hear on a loud site
Noise is the usual reason remote support calls fail: the expert is talking, and the technician can't make out a word over the machinery. The foam tips attenuate ambient noise while application audio, prompts and call audio come directly from the headset, so guidance stays intelligible without the worker removing PPE or interrupting a hands-free workflow.
Shared fleets and replaceable contact parts
The foam tips are replaceable, which matters when devices rotate between shifts. Teams running shared units usually stock spares alongside other hygiene and maintenance supplies, so worn or soiled contact parts can be swapped instead of replacing the whole accessory. Hearing protection should still be matched to your site's PPE assessment, since attenuation also reduces awareness of surrounding sound.
