COLLAPSIBLE EARMUFF HEARING PROTECTION
When you need serious hearing protection without carrying around a bulky pair of earmuffs all day, the Benchmark Abrasives Collapsible Earmuffs give you the best of both worlds. They deliver full-can hearing protection with a published NRR of 26 dB and SNR of 32 dB, then fold down into a more compact shape when the job is done.
At 10.2 oz, they’re still easy to wear through grinding, cutting, fabrication, maintenance, construction, and other loud work environments. Keep them at the bench, toss them in a toolbox, or pack them for the jobsite—the collapsible design makes this the portable option in the Benchmark hearing-protection lineup.

Built to Fold, Built to Travel
The biggest advantage of this model is portability.
Full-size earmuffs can take up a lot of room in a toolbox or work bag. The collapsible design lets the ear cups fold inward, making the earmuffs easier to store between jobs without giving up full-can hearing protection when you need it.
That makes them especially useful for:
- Mobile maintenance crews
- Contractors
- Field service technicians
- Fabricators moving between workstations
- Anyone who wants compact hearing protection in a truck or toolbox
Care & Maintenance
- Wipe the cushions clean after use.
- Clean cushions with mild soapy water as directed by the product instructions. Do not soak the ear cups or internal foam unless the manufacturer permits it.
- Inspect cushions, foam pads, ear cups, hinges, and headband regularly for wear or damage.
- Replace the earmuffs when worn or damaged components prevent a secure fit.
- Fold and unfold the earmuffs using the intended hinge points rather than forcing the ear cups.
- Avoid bending or reshaping the headband in a way that loosens the fit.
Safety Tips
- Make sure each ear cup fully surrounds the ear before beginning work.
- Keep hair, thick eyewear temples, caps, or other objects from interfering with the cushion seal.
- Wear hearing protection throughout the full period of loud-noise exposure.
- Inspect the cushions, folding joints, and headband before use.
- Replace damaged or heavily worn earmuffs.
- Select hearing protection appropriate for the work environment and noise level.
- Keep required machine guards installed and properly positioned.
