Silverline 633816 Folding Ear Defenders Review

The Silverline 633816 Folding Ear Defenders are very affordable and offer hearing protection with an SNR rating of 30 dB. They’re currently some of the cheapest and most popular ear defenders on the market in the UK, but are they up to the job? Find out in this review…

Performance and comfort

These ear defenders will be comfy for most people, and can be worn for a long time without them getting hot or uncomfortable. You can adjust the headband to get the best fit, so they shouldn’t feel too tight on your head.  You can also fold up so you easily take them with you when you’re travelling.

The Silverline 633816 Ear Defenders are ideal for blocking out the noise of neighbours’ parties, traffic and other irritating background noise, allowing you to hear yourself think!

As with all ear defenders, they don’t completely block out noise, but they do make a drastic difference. Given these ear defenders’ low price, the sound attenuation is very impressive. The Silverline 633816 Ear Defenders are good for people with autism and others who are especially sensitive to noise.

These ear defenders can be worn by children, though they might be too large and heavy for toddlers and younger children. See these recommended ear defenders for kids for some more appropriate options.

These ear defenders can be worn with glasses, though you might find ear plugs more comfortable. They’re also not ideal for industrial environments where you will want something more heavy-duty. See these recommended industrial ear defenders for some better options.

Verdict

These ear defenders are much cheaper than many of the alternatives, and do a great job for the price. They’re perfect for reducing moderately loud noises such as the sound of neighbours and traffic. They offer exceptional performance for the price, but there are better specialist options out there for kids and for industrial purposes.

Alternatives

If you’re buying ear defenders for a child or toddler you should consider Edz Kidz Ear Defenders, which are more comfortable for kids and have a more fun design that children will appreciate.

Some more heavy-duty ear defenders for industrial purposes are the Peltor Optime 2 Headband Ear Defenders, which are made by respected industrial personal protection equipment manufacturer 3M.

Another pair of cheap ear defenders from Silverline are the 633815 Ear Defenders, which you might be able to get even cheaper than the 633816 Ear Defenders, but only have an SNR of 27 dB rather than 30 dB.
