Based out of the Hudson Valley, Crystal Guardian creates custom-fit earplugs that are based off of a mold of the subject’s ear. Perfect for attending concerts – or any loud environment that needs filtering – the bespoke buds can reduce volume by 10, 15, 20 or 25 decibels, depending on the buyer’s preference. Pairs are made out of medical-grade silicone and offer a bespoke look, with options ranging from colored silicone to glitter —The “Savory Silence” series even features clear plugs mixed with “dried culinary ingredients,” ranging from anise and sesame seeds to lavender and red pepper flakes. You won’t have to look far to hear what they’ve got going on at Hypebeast Flea New York.

Explain your brand to people who may not know you yet.

Crystal Guardian makes custom-fit silicone earplugs with an emphasis on hearing health, accessibility and glitter madness for musicians, DJs and club/concert-goers. Their earplugs house the highest musician-quality filters (-10dB, -15dB, -20dB or -25dB) which reduce volume on a flat scale to preserve music fidelity. GQ has credited Crystal Guardian for bringing “glitter-filled custom silicone creations into the heart of New York’s nightlife community” and is “making wearing earplugs to the club, dare we say it, cool.”
