Moderate attenuation, no overprotection
M 24 dB minus a 5 dB real-world deduction gives a calculated 19 dB. That makes the EP102BO the first choice for medium levels, where stronger earplugs would push the level at the ear below 70 dB(A). Why that matters is explained in the guide Overprotection.
Two colours
Available in black/orange and blue/orange, packed in units of 400 with 20 per box.
