Read the full PIP 267-HPB410 Banded Earplugs review →

The PIP 267-HPB410 is a banded earplug with soft polyurethane foam pods on a lightweight, flexible band, rated NRR 24 dB, easy to drop in and out for intermittent-noise work. It pairs the comfort of foam with the at-the-ready convenience of a band, so it gets worn when loose plugs would be left in a pocket.

Why the PIP 267 pairs foam comfort with a band

Hard-tipped banded plugs are convenient but can feel harsh; loose foam is comfortable but easy to lose. The PIP 267-HPB410 splits the difference with soft polyurethane foam pods on a flexible band — foam that conforms to the canal for a comfortable, better seal, held at the ready by a band you can reinsert in seconds. Rated NRR 24, it is built for intermittent noise where you dip in and out of loud areas. As banded ear plugs go, this is the foam-comfort pick, and the foam vs reusable guide and NRR explainer cover how the formats compare. It is a band that does not sacrifice comfort.

What the PIP 267 listing documents

From the published specs: a banded design with soft polyurethane foam pods; a lightweight, flexible band; NRR 24; and a reusable band with foam pods. These are true banded earplugs and genuine foam pod earplugs — comfortable nrr 24 earplugs for intermittent noise.

How the PIP 267 compares to other ear plugs

For other banded plugs, the Moldex Jazz Band, Pyramex BP3000, or hi-vis Sellstrom S23430 (NRR 25); for disposable foam, the metal-detectable MSA Metal Detectable (NRR 29); and for over-ear protection, the passive Pyramex PM3010 (NRR 27) or Moldex MX-6. The plugs-vs-muffs guide and foam plugs guide help you choose.

Choosing the right hearing protection for your noise

Plugs, muffs, and doubling up all have a place. For the full range, the hearing protection collection and best hearing protection guide; for roll-down foam, the foam ear plugs collection; for reusable options, the reusable earplugs collection and disposable-vs-reusable guide; and for the loudest work, the highest-NRR guide and NRR 30 plugs.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The PIP 267 suits machine operators and material handlers in intermittent noise who want foam comfort in a banded format — compare over-ear options in the ear muffs collection. The foam pod is the key differentiator here: it conforms to the canal entrance more forgivingly than a hard tip, so a wider range of ear shapes can get a usable seal without the full roll-down of loose foam. Its foam pods drive comfort and consistent wear, so seat them firmly for a full seal and replace them once they harden.
