What it does

- Cups swivel and the whole muff folds to bag size
- Lets nearby speech through at reduced volume
- Sold in several colors
A low cost, foldable pair of kids earmuffs for fireworks, races and concerts, with ANSI and CE certification stated by the maker. The trade-off is moderate protection: they turn noise down rather than block it, and the maker's own pages mix SNR and NRR figures, so treat the US NRR of 20 dB as the working number.

Questions
What is the NRR of the Dr.meter EM100?
Listing copy states 20 dB NRR and 27.4 dB SNR. The two ratings use different test standards, so they are not interchangeable.
What age are Dr.meter EM100 earmuffs for?
Dr.meter says they are sized for babies and children, and the headband adjusts up to teens and many adults. It gives no minimum age.
Do they block all sound?
No. Dr.meter says they reduce noise but still let voices through.
How do you clean them?
Wipe the surface with neutral soap and warm water. Dr.meter says not to submerge them.
