About Spares

Getting the Perfect Fit with Spares

Spares come with four interchangeable silicone ear cups to ensure a custom, secure fit for every ear. Just sit the plug into your ear and align it with your ear opening. If it's blocking sound, you've pushed it in to your ear too deeply. Spares are non-insertion, just align them to the opening of your ear canal and make a gentle seal.

Choosing Your Earcup Size

  • Small: For smaller ear canals or a looser feel

  • Medium: Balanced fit for most users

  • Large: Pre-installed default size, fit's most ears perfectly.

  • Extra Large: For a snug, secure fit

Fit Tips:

  • If you feel pressure or discomfort, size down.

  • If they feel loose or unstable, size up.

Test each size to find the one that seals comfortably and stays in place where you feel no pressure, no slipping.


How to Insert Spares Correctly

 

  1. Gently seat Spares at the ear opening - no need to push into the canal. Spares are non-insertion!

  2. If sound is muffled, back them out slightly until you feel a soft seal.

  3. The right fit will reduce harmful volume and frequencies while keeping sound clear.


Low-Profile, Secure Fit – Anywhere

Spares are built to stay put:

  • Won’t dislodge under helmets, hats, or headphones

  • Stay secure during movement or long wear

  • No stems, loops, or bulk - just clean, discreet design

With Spares, you get comfort, clarity, and protection - no pressure, no gimmicks, just the perfect fit.


All About Spares

Made to preserve the way you hear - for your entire life.

Most hearing damage doesn’t happen all at once. It happens slowly - rehearsals, shows, venues, engines, workdays - until clarity fades and fatigue feels normal.

By the time ringing, distortion, or headaches appear, damage has already started.

Spares exists to interrupt that process.

Not by blocking sound, but by preserving it - at safer levels - so you can keep enjoying it for years to come. 

The problem with most earplugs

Most earplugs reduce noise by blocking sound entirely. Foam, rubber, and silicone plugs might reduce damage - but they do it by muting detail, flattening dynamics, and removing the very thing people are trying to protect: the experience of sound itself.

That approach works for silence. It doesn’t work for people who depend on clarity.

Spares are designed with a different goal: To reduce harmful volume without destroying balance, detail, or spatial awareness. It's sound preservation for a lifetime of listening.

Why we built this differently

    When we began developing Spares, we tested variations - different materials, different filters, different price points.

    What we found was simple: Once performance and comfort crossed a certain threshold, anything cheaper compromised the result.

    Spares exists as a single product - because hearing protection shouldn’t be a guessing game or treated like a fashion accessory. It should preserve long-term hearing health and be designed to last for years and years without a need for replacement.

      We believe hearing protection should be a decision you make once - and then trust every time you use it.

      That belief is built into every pair of Spares.

      What Spares is - and isn’t

      Spares is for:

      • Anyone who endures higher than conversation volumes
      • Musicians
      • Concert-goers
      • Venue and event staff
      • Motorcycle Riders
      • Work Crews
      • Anyone exposed to sustained volume but who still demands clarity

      Spares is not for:

      • Sleeping 
      • Silence
      • Disposable use
      • One-night protection

      Spares are hearing preservation tools, not throwaways.

      Built for long-term use

      Spares are reusable and designed for repeated wear. They require basic care - occasional cleaning, proper storage, and replacement if damaged.

      Our philosophy

      We believe hearing isn’t something you upgrade later. Once hearing is gone, it’s gone forever. It doesn't bounce back.

      Spares are designed around that reality - with restraint, intention, and respect for sound.
