These Got Ears?® Brand Challenger Custom Molded High-Performance Isolation Earphones are our top recommendation for anyone who wants to wear earphones while sleeping, while wearing a motorcycle helmet or during vigorous physical exercise. You can even swim with these earphones in place! Got Ears?® Challenger earphones work with smart phones, ipods, motorcycle comm systems, as listen only or you can choose to add the in-line mic and use your Challengers to talk on the phone. (Please note: the in-line mic is not available for the RH model.) They also work with all portable music players equipped with a standard 3.5mm plug, providing powerful bass and crisp, clear music across the audible spectrum, with 25+ dB of isolation that lets you escape into a world of your own music.
 

Challenger Custom Molded Isolation Earphone Features:
Review from 2WF.com:
"I have worn them on a few 500+ mile days (all interstate riding too) and it isn't until after 8 hours of wearing them that my ears get a little sore. I have sensitive ears and even the foam plugs bother me after a few hours. Having the ability to listen to tunes while droning along the interstate is priceless (insert your own credit card commercial here). One of the nicest things is that since the speakers sit embedded into the polymer and the sound is fed directly into your ear, I tend to keep the volume lower than with regular earphones. This saves my ears from too many decibels while still allowing me to listen to something other than my own thoughts..."
Challenger Custom Molded Earphones

Advanced Design: The custom molded silicone earpieces fully enclose top quality industry standard Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers, so only a wire exits the ear cavity. The only outlet is the sound port delivering high quality sound directly into your ear canal. The drivers are so well sealed inside the earpieces, and the custom molded earpieces seal your ears so well that you can even swim with your Got Ears?® Challengers in place! As a result, your Challengers will serve you well whether you use them in the comfort of your living room, while commuting to and from work, riding your motorcycle, flying on noisy airplanes or during vigorous exercise in a full sweat.

Smart, Twisted Wires: Got Ears?® Challenger earphones feature an advanced wire design with a thin but very strong twisted pair upper wire that is flexible enough to comfortably route the wires over the ear or down from the ear. The thin, flexible upper wires greatly reduce micro-phonic transmission of unwanted noise into the earpieces making Challengers ideal for even the most active user. A tensioning slider lets you snug the wires up behind your head for a neat look and secure fit even during robust physical exercise. The double insulated lower wire with a molded strain-relief 90 degree plug provides extra durability and strength that will stand up to even the most challenging environments. The wires are available only in black and are not user-replaceable. (If you should break a wire, repairs generally run from $25 to $50, depending on what is wrong. We have customers with Challengers over 5 years old that are still going strong.)

Audiophile-Quality Sound: Only the most discerning audiophile or professional musician will find anything lacking in these great earphones, and even they will not find much to complain about! For even better sound, we offer the option of adding a second driver to each earpiece, converting your single driver Challengers to dual driver earphones.

Quality Craftsmanship: Beginning with your ear impressions, professional lab techs fabricate your personal set of Challengers using heat cured silicone for maximum comfort and durability. The wires are attached to the drivers and then wrapped all the way around the drivers to improve wire tug resistance.

Style! Got Ears?® Challengers let you express your personal sense of style by choosing from 11 different colors, swirling 2-3 colors together, adding sparkles, and/or adding glow-in-the-dark enhancements.

Situational Awareness: For those who need to be able to hear warning sounds and carry on conversations while wearing your Challengers, we recommend adding the Hock's Noise Braker acoustic filter to your Challenger earphones. With the Hocks acoustic filters installed, the attenuation is reduced to an NRR of 19-21 dB (which provides noise protection up to 106 dB) while letting you carry on a face to face conversation (if you turn down your music volume, that is...) Hocks acoustic filters provide variable noise reduction that lets you clearly hear voices and other low level sounds, but increases in attenuation as the volume of noise increases, providing automatically increasing noise protection as you need it.

Warranty: Got Ears?® Challengers are backed by a 90 day fit guarantee and a 6 month manufacturer's warranty.

Choosing a Challenger Model

Got Ears?® Challenger full custom molded isolation earphones are available in four models:
  • Got Ears?® Challenger Model M (for maximum) features custom molded earpieces that fill your outer ear, and extend well into the canal, thereby offering the best noise attenuation, and making these Challengers an excellent choice for workplaces or anywhere you want the maximum in noise protection (NRR 28) Comes with 52" fixed cord with 90 degree stereo plug.
     
  • Got Ears?® Challenger Model S (for sleep) is designed to emphasize comfort, and features a "shelled out" earpiece with a thinner more flexible concave outer earpiece and medium canal for greater comfort during sleep or under a motorcycle helmet. Noise attenuation is estimated at 20-25 dB. Comes with 52" fixed cord with 90 degree stereo plug.
     
  • Got Ears?® Challenger Model RH (for racing harness) is designed to meet the specific requirements of race car drivers for a racing communications headset. The RH Model Challenger features full ear custom molds for maximum attenuation, 18" cords that are just the right length to reach the plug on the cockpit dashboard, and a straight 3.5mm mono plug.
     
  • Got Ears?® Challenger Model MH (for motorcycle helmet) is designed to conveniently attach to a helmet mounted motorcycle comm unit. The MH Model Challenger features a shelled out earpieces that fit comfortably under a helmet, a 19" cord with a straight 3.5mm standard stereo plug. Noise attenuation is estimated at 20-25 dB so you can still hear road sounds.
CAUTION: At 25+ dB of isolation, operating a vehicle or machinery can be dangerous because of the difficulty of hearing audio warning signals and alarms, especially while listening to music, which makes these sounds more difficult to hear. We encourage you to test your ability to hear warning signals and alarms before operating a vehicle or machinery, and do not wear this device if find that you cannot adequately hear.

Need Single-Ear Challengers? Single ear mono version also available. Please contact us for information.

In ear ,molded phones
September 12, 2023
The molds fit perfectly and are very comfortable, but the wiring should have been constructed so that it comes out of the mold and back over the top of the ear. Professional IEMs are reinforced at the point where the wiring leaves the ear mold and shaped for up and over the ear.
Pros
  • Perfect fit, good quality sound
Cons
  • Awkward wiring placement on ear mold

I LOVE these earplugs!!! Only ones that will cancel out a partner snoring & be comfortable enough to sleep with all night long!!! FANTASTIC product!

Excellent fit and feel
June 3, 2022
This is my second set of earphones, the first were musician grade and the sound was amazing. But, they were not as comfortable under a motorcycle helmet as the Challengers. The Challengers are very comfortable and the sound is really good. I use them with my Cardo motorcycle communication system and stream music from the GPS. Highly recommend these earphones for any activity.
Pros
  • Comfortable
  • Sound
Cons
  • Cord for me is a bit long

Challenger for Motorcycles
December 28, 2021
This is my 3rd pair within the last 20 years, which states my satisfaction with this product. For me, these are very comfortable. They stay sealed even when talking or eating. The audio, with single drivers, is quite good for me. I get wind noise over my bike fairing, my lawnmower is a loud diesel. I set my volume with a dead engine, and rarely need to make a volume increase. These have proven to be very durable, as to the wires being snagged or sharply pulled. I'm very content.

Pros
  • Quality product, w/ good service if needed.
Cons
  • I don't have any complaints.

On my third set!
December 16, 2021
I love these headphones for motorcycling under-the-helmet wearing. I'm on my third set, and I also use them in the gym as a perfect way to eliminate all the unhelpful noises. 2-3 hours is about where my ears start to get a little sore, so I swap them out with foam ear plugs for a while and then go back to them for long rides.

100% worth the money.
Pros
  • * super at blocking out noise
  • * braker vent gives just enough traffic noise to hear what you need while taking care of that awful wind noise at freeway speeds
  • * fits under the helmet
  • * getting them in dayglo neon yellow makes them easy to find!
  • * no one else in the family will borrow them and lose them.
Cons
  • Naturally, these push against your ear a bit to seal out noise. That can get a little uncomfy after a few hours...at least it does with me. No problem. I switch to foam earplugs for a while.

What a great product long lasting and priced within everyone's budget. Working in the broadcast industry covering sports and entertainment where extremely loud conditions exist my custom fitted challengers provide perfect sound and noise reduction. The staff is very helpful and I would recommend this to anyone looking for cost effective custom fit ear molds!!

Well worth the price.
September 27, 2020
First pair lasted 7 years with tens of thousands of miles. Great sound quality for music and custom fitment for reduced wind noise. Went with the updated drivers on this pair since initial investment was well worth the price.
Pros
  • Sound quality, custom fit.
Cons
  • Expensive, you get what you pay for with this product. Buy once, cry once.

So far working great. Ears were a little sore after first time, but I go used to them very quickly. Outside wind noise is reduced dramatically, although not quite as reduced as I was hoping. However, I can hear my phone and GPS perfectly even doing 80mph on the highway.

So far they are working very well. Mostly comfortable with a little irritation in the left ear after wearing all day on the road. May need a little adjustment which is offered by the makers.

March 27, 2018
I've had these custom molded earplugs for over 10 years. They work, and sound, great. I use them often under my helmet on my motorcycle and plug them into my iPhone. The S model has a 52 inch cable which is plenty going enough for a iPhone mounted on a motorcycle. Also, I damaged one of the wires and sent them in for repairs. The repairs were done in a week or so and came back good as new.

March 24, 2017
I recently purchased a set of MH Ear molds with dual drivers and vents. Could not be happier with this product! The sound quality is superb and the "shelled out" molding is very comfortable. I don't need or want to shut out total ambient sound, so the vented molds give me music at a comfortable volume while still allowing enough ambient sound to feel safe, and they don't have that stopped up feeling that heavier, non vented models have. This is the second time I've dealt with Rebecca at the Ear Plug Store and her customer service is second to none!!

November 16, 2016
This is my second set of Challengers, replaced after my first were just stolen while on a business trip to Brazil. I always loved the fit of the first set, and while I have not really worn the replacements much more than just checking when they came in, they feel just as comfortable. They are making the grips to remove them from my ear a little different, and in my opinion, better, then the ones I purchased 5 years ago. My ONLY complaint is that I wish there was a happy medium on cord length. The short ones are 16" and the long ones are 54" (or there abouts). If there were only a happy medium length of about 36" inches that would be better. I purchased the short length and use an extension cord if I am going to use them any other way than just putting in my chest pocket. otherwise the short length won't work for me. All in all, a nice set, well worth the price.
