EarBeanz - Earplugs Smart Vending Machine

Sound is the rhythmic heartbeat of our lives — it shapes our experiences and is an essential part of our memories. At EarBeanz, we develop, produce, and distribute our own earplugs and sound filters, which are accessible anytime, anywhere. Our goal? A world where sound remains a source of enjoyment for everyone.

EarBeanz is committed to raising awareness about the impact of sound. We focus on preserving, or even enhancing, the auditory experience by using the right earplugs or hearing protection. This goes beyond just protecting hearing; it’s about creating the optimal listening experience. It enhances experiences, performance, and concentration. We’ve been active in the world of audiology and hearing protection for over 30 years, serving Dutch hearing professionals and industries with various hearing and prevention solutions.

PartyBeanz – Earplugs with Music Filter
For clubs, concerts, and festivals, EarBeanz has developed a new product: PartyBeanz, with a music filter. These comfortable, soft earplugs with three flanges and an ergonomic design provide optimal ease of use. The music filter is specifically designed for musical events, and with an SNR value of 19 dB, both speech intelligibility and music quality remain intact. PartyBeanz are reusable and certified according to EN352-2 (European standard) and ANSI S3.19 (American standard). PartyBeanz also come in a Mystery variant, featuring mixed colors made from surplus materials, reducing or eliminating the need for new materials in production.

Foam Earplugs / Non-Filter Earplugs vs. Earplugs with Music Filter
For some, hearing protection means a pair of disposable foam earplugs, but in the music industry, it's recommended to avoid them. Earplugs without filters block out maximum sound but don't account for speech intelligibility or music quality. The listener misses out on the music and atmosphere—the very essence of the event. In extreme cases, they might conclude that "hearing protection at parties just isn't for me." Providing foam earplugs to meet guidelines can have a counterproductive effect. Hearing protection with music filters doesn’t need to be expensive or difficult to obtain. Dutch nightlife audiences have proven more than willing to purchase them on-site.

PartyBeanz are ideal for offering to visitors at lockers, cloakrooms, or the bar. To make the process even more accessible for both organizers and attendees, PartyBeanz can even be sold during the event without staff intervention.
