I quite like these as an alternative to those 3M, particularly in bulk:…

I should say that noise on airplanes can be anywhere from around 65dB to 95dB (and probably higher on specific aircraft too). With only…

A bit the same as my comment above - these are good general-purpose noise reducing earbuds, so they're useful anywhere you want to reduce…

Yes, they'll do a good job of reducing the overall level of noise. There are aircraft-specific earplugs that are designed to specifically…

Hah, thanks for that. Truly, I'd rather get more people looking after their hearing with the right products than to earn money for it. What…

No worries. Somewhere in your job specs, or with a HR dept if you have one should be your LAeq8hr ratings. However, I'd go for something in…

Yeah, I find I almost have to insert and twist to get the right positioning. Once you're used to that, it's an easy thing to replicate, but…

For industrial sites? This isn't what I'd use for most work sites. What you might need is determined by the quality and quantity of noise…

Yeah, absolutely. Hell, buy both, see which works better, and gift the other to a friend or use it as a backup when you lose the first one!

Yeah, I get it, and there's really no "fix". A couple of friends have had success with hearing aids and masking devices, others had to get…

Good plan! I want to put products like this in front of younger musicians & concert-goers to try and keep them safer for longer. It's a bit…

I should probably say that the plastic "barrel" on the Etymotics makes them a bit more obvious, and easier to knock out (in my experience).…

Yes, and a fair few others too. The ER20XS are probably the most similar, in terms of price & performance. The triple-flange (Christmas…

A deal from EarJobs email for subscribers, these are one of their signature products for a decent discount. As a long-time audio-visual…

Just replying to myself to add something important from another comment here: However, the worst is that passive PoE is always live, so the…

No problem. I'm not sure how much of a deal you'll find on those, but they're the kind of thing that you can pick up used and know they'll…

The U6-LR are PoE+, so they'll want up to 30W each, and up to ~15W for the U6-Mesh. The Lite16 has a total PoE budget of 45W, so it'll just…

It doesn't take too much, but it gets pretty technical to describe how that happens internally. Short version - true PoE (to international…

Honestly, I'd probably just grab a basic TP-Link unmanaged switch if you're not into networking. Check which level of PoE your device…

Great stuff, and it sounds like you know what you're doing. My point was more to stop people who just thought "hey, cheap Ubiquiti PoE…

Sorry, no. It's a 24-28V supply only. That TP-Link doesn't **need** 48V passive though, it can take standard PoE (802.3at) too. Even…

BE VERY CAREFUL - this one provides PASSIVE PoE, designed for things like wireless bridges, outdoor PtP links, etc. It will not work with…

Yeah, Rockby is a classic in so many ways. But they are still one of the best places to find electronic components on a shelf/bin if you…

There's a decent guide here: https://www.solarquotes.com.au/ev-chargers/ that includes the options, location choices, and so on.

I've bought a few pairs of ACS Custom earplugs over the years, partly for work reasons, but also for live music. Honestly, the differences…

Yeah, those are a good generic option. If anyone prefers not buying from Amazon, they're $39.95 inc. GST plus shipping (free shipping over…

https://www.earlab.com.au/category/custom-in-ear-monitors Basically these are the drivers+cables to connect into an IEM pack for a musician…

Yes, $30 minimum spend. I didn't realise that because I didn't notice the fine, fine, fine print, and I'd ordered $40 of stuff!

I just signed up via the popup, and got an instant 20% off code (and emailed it too).

One where they want to sell it through Woolies/Coles and leave enough margin for the stores, buyers, merchandisers, and goodness knows what…
