Glenn is awesome Glenn is awesome! I contacted Glenn to make sure I was ordering the right type of earplugs for wearing under a snug full face helmet. He was very patient with explaining all the differences between the earplugs. I'm glad he spent the time to answer all my questions. The earplugs feel very comfortable and I should be able to wear them all day without any issues.

Audiophiles/ Law Enforcement Beware I was in the market for a new custom earpiece for two-way radios at work as I work in law enforcement. I came across Big Ear on my journey after a few failed attempts to get the proper kind of ear piece for concerts & larger scale events where hearing with my current ear piece was becoming a problem & uncomfortable. September of 2023, I decided to spend the money to get a new custom mold, filled out an order form & submitted excited to see the final result of my ear piece. I then waited as production for custom pieces take some time & finally received an email on November 9th, 2023 in regards to my order & that my brand new earpiece had finally shipped. The wait was on & I was ready to receive my earpiece for upcoming concerts/events...I meticulously checked shipping updates every few days to find my order was stuck in customs in New York, okay, perfectly fine. The wait didn't stop. A few weeks passed & not a single update, no shipping updates, nothing. After a few weeks, I then received an update in regards to my order. It had been sent back to the production office, for some unknown reason, & they were waiting for a response from the shipping company. I also took this time to ensure that the shipping address was exact. Then continued to wait, no update, just a consistent back & forth email exchange that has seemingly gone nowhere. Order back ups from November, shipping problems with the shipping company, etc. If you do not have the resources to sustain the volume of orders or are having trouble with shipping product. Change shipping companies (there are MANY options), outsource your work to other parties that can get them done in a timely manner & have the resources at hand in backup situations. Do not attend trade shows & events, promising a product & then failing to deliver, or at most delivering a sub-par product as other reviews have stated here with the money that be being charged for the products. If you want a loyal base of customers, deliver a high quality & consistent product.

Owner is AWOL… Company does not stand behind the product. Could not get a rep to even call me until I repeatedly dogged them. Then they said something like, well our owner isn't even here anymore. He moved to another country. What is that? The Mr. Glenn Hood that this company says is the founder, is not even at the company anymore? Buyer beware.

One of my worst experiences One of my worst experiences working with a company ever. They don't have the components to make their product due to back order, but don't tell you that up front. So orders are months behind. When mine did finally arrive, the left ear mold was completely wrong - had to redo the mold and entire units all together. They also came with some options wrong (i.e. wire coming out bottom of ear instead of top. Also, frankly, they are not that comfortable either.) Then they took another 5 - 6 weeks to even fix that. Shipped to the wrong address, which meant I had to drive these all the way up to my rep for verification. The list goes on. Long story short, they do not stand behind their products, communication is awful and there is zero guarantee customer satisfaction. Once you hand your money over, it's gone, whether you are satisfied or not. I would avoid this company.

19” Audio Cable is Poor Quality I rate the dual transducer in ear monitors as excellent! Well made that deliver incredible sound especially for their size. They are superior to in helmet speakers. However, the audio cable they came with is far too long so I ordered the 19” cable. Unfortunately, the quality of the shorter cable is subpar with one of the connectors coming loose from the transducer while the other connector surprisingly stays in plays which indicates poor and inconsistent manufacturing with little quality control. For that reason I am rating these 1 Star. They should never have been shipped out to customers. Glenn has been available to help rectify but the solution is a patch. I will try the alternate recommended fix but if that fails I will request a refund. I don’t recommend ordering the shorter cable until new designs are available.
