There’s loud, and then there’s unnecessarily loud. Like the guy taking a work call on speakerphone in a coffee shop or the neighbor who thinks 2 AM is the perfect time for drum practice. You could go full monk mode with noise-canceling headphones, but sometimes, you just want to take the edge off without living in complete silence.

Enter Saccater Moment Earplugs—the earplugs for people who don’t want to feel like they’ve been plunged into sensory deprivation. Unlike traditional earplugs that block everything, these use micro-perforation attenuation technology and a 600-mesh membrane—the world’s first, by the way—to dial down the noise while keeping sound clear. That means you can still enjoy live music, hear your favorite lines in a movie, or pick up just enough office chatter to know when it’s time to pretend you’re busy.
With a 13dB Noise Reduction Rating, they’re ideal for concerts, home theaters, commuting, and anyone who values their sanity in an open office. They also won’t leave your ears sore after an hour, thanks to their ergonomic racetrack-shaped design.
Saccater is launching them on Kickstarter on April 3, with a pre-launch phase starting March 27. If you’ve ever wished the world had a volume knob, this might be the next best thing.
