Product features

Built for Professionals

Elgin Ruckus have been designed and tested for rigorous environments where long hours and heavy use are the norm. Just as any tradesman can tell you, there is a difference between a purpose-built tool for the job versus making due with something inferior. Ruckus have been designed from the ground up with durability and quality in mind in the toughest use-case scenarios. That is the difference between any old regular earbud and Elgin Ruckus earplug headphones: they were made for this.

Immerse Yourself in Your Work

Whether hard on the job with nail guns and miter saws, or just trying to tune out subtle, nagging noises, Ruckus are made to ensure focus. It's all about getting you in your state of flow where time disappears and your mind locks into the task at hand and nothing else. This is where you put your soul into your craft and create your masterpieces. By eliminating distraction you'll be absorbed by your work and the results will be undeniable.

Safest, Softest, Most Durable Silicone

Using biocompatible USP Class 5 medical grade silicone we are able to ensure no irritation to any skin type. Elgin designers used anthropometric scaling to calculate the optimal size and fitment for the user. Our earplug silicone tips are all load tested as well to ensure they will always work as hard as you do.

Bluetooth 5.0

By leveraging the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol we are able to ensure ease of operations and compatibility between all your Bluetooth enabled devices. Once you've paired your device, Ruckus Discord features QuickConnect technology that has the fastest pairing time with your device in the industry.

Crank Through that Double Shift

During the Ruckus Discord design phase we gave it a double dose on battery life. This translates to up to a 14 hour playback time on just a single charge! Not only does Ruckus Discord have an extended power reserve but it also is well balanced around your neck and comes with free clips to stabilize it further for when the job gets really rough.

Bullet Proof

We use Kevlar strand, the same material found in bullet proof vests and helmets, as the reinforcement in our earbud cables and then test them to insane pull strength

Under Lock and Key

Make sure you've always got a home for your Ruckus earplug earbuds with our included tough woven nylon zipper case that stores the included Micro USB charging cable and stabilization clips

OSHA Noise Reduction Rated

Our earplug tips carry the EPA's Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 25 decibels recognized by OSHA to meet ANSI standards in the workplace

Ruckus Discorded

Elgin's Ruckus line goes wireless! We've put in the latest and greatest Bluetooth 5.0 protocol and powerful range (up to 50 ft) to make sure that Discord lives up to the Elgin Ruckus reputation

User questions & answers

Question:	are these just ear buds or do they come with a radio
Answer:	Just the ear buds are in this package.
Question:	Sorry if I am missing it but what is the NRR for this product
Answer:	Yellow tips are 26dB NRR, grey are 20dB
Question:	is this osha approved
Answer:	According to my workplace(Machine Shop), they are. They still sound pretty decent, but limit the volume, so that it stays below the recommended levels that OSHA states are safe for an average work day.

• WORKPLACE ENHANCEMENT: The power is yours to decide what you listen to, not dictated by surrounding jackhammers, power tools, or loud machinery. Perfect for woodworking, exercising, metalworking, landscaping, travel, or even sleep
• BUILT FOR WORK: Ruckus earplug earbuds are designed to work as hard as you do. The IP65 weatherproof enclosure, Kevlar reinforced cables and triple-molded audio jack ensure they will stand up to the job at hand
• PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY: Overmolded design completely seals out dust, debris, and moisture
• NOISE REDUCING DESIGN: Engineered to seal out noise and carries the EPA issued NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 25 decibels recognized by OSHA to meet ANSI standards
• IMMERSIVE SOUND: Out with the bad and in with the good. Our headphones use biocompatible silicone earplugs that form a complete and comfortable seal, letting you capture the full range of the custom-tuned drivers while listening to your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook

User questions & answers

Question:	Do they come in different sizes to fit smaller ear canals? These are abit bigger than my ear canal
Answer:	There was not a size selection when I purchased them. Money down the tube.
Question:	How loud can these get? Others for sale can reach 85 db
Answer:	I don't know if or what these are limited to, but I can tell you that both these and Plugfones can be hellaciously loud, if you have either of them plugged into a headphone out port on a radio (like an XPR 6550) you have to have the volume turned almost all the way down to not blow out you ears.
Question:	Seller, what is the best way to remove these earphones from the ear, such that we can break the suction safely without damaging the item
Answer:	Thanks for your question. First and foremost, it's always important to make sure to pull from the silicone portion of the earbud/plug and not the wire itself. Pulling from the wires puts a lot of strain on the wires and solder joints and causes them to wear out much faster. The next technique you can try is actually the proper way to insert the earplugs (and all earplugs that are deeply seated in the ear canal) which is to reach behind your head with the opposite hand as your ear (L ear uses R hand and vice versa) and pull on the upper portion of your ear. This effectively "opens" your ear canal to allow for a deeper seat and better seal when inserting your plugs and a more comfortable technique for removing them as well. Hope that helps!
Question:	Is the jack compatible with a laptop
Answer:	I don't know I don't have a laptop

Triple Molded Audio Jack

Our proprietary audio jack design uses overmolding technology to create three different layers using different materials to create a tough vault for the wired connection. In fact, the ELGIN logo is actually functional in anchoring the outer material layers together for ironclad durability that will keep you connected through the harshest environments.

Cut the Noise Crank the Tunes

Our speaker drivers were specially developed and are built just for us. Because of the unique design of having a speaker molded into a sealed earplug, we had to rethink how to create a dynamic, full-range sound without the venting/porting that most traditional earbuds rely on. The result is a unique driver design that can only be found in Elgin earplug earbuds.

Bullet Proof

We use Kevlar strand, the same material found in bullet proof vests and helmets, as the reinforcement in our earbud cables and then test them to insane pull strength

User questions & answers

Question:	Are they compatible with kindle fire
Answer:	I would think they would be, they worked on the airplane, and it’s a standard plug. I don’t have a kindle fire. You could always send it back if it didn’t work.
Question:	Will it work on Iphone
Answer:	Yes, it will work on iPhone. :)
Question:	How long do they last
Answer:	Mine have lasted 4 months with almost everyday use, I used them anywhere from running/working out to watching Netflix. Mine are starting to break starting at the button, which is pretty critical. The button (which I don't even use) is starting to activate at the slightest touch of the wire connected to it, I already ordered a different ear bud without a button to see how it fares but if you don't use the button, then I'd recommend finding something else without one. Either way, still a good pair of earbuds, definitely worth the $18.
Question:	will this drown out the incessant, loud, non-work related conversations of my co-workers so I will not want to scream at them to shut up
Answer:	They are not active noise cancelling ear buds. Meaning they don’t create the dampening effect generated by battery operated ear buds. They do seal up pretty good with the right buds attached. I always use the largest buds that stay in my ears. This with a little music playing should do the trick. I pull mine out while holding a conversation. Don’t have to do that with my Bluetooth set that cost 5 times as much. These seem to fit better.

Answer:	Yes. They fit my big head at around size 7 1/2. They adjust. The metal rods pull out of the plastic that attaches to the ears. The rods don't pull out of the headband at the top. I was lucky I did not break anything trying to pull the rods out of the top.
Question:	does this unit have 1/8 plug capacity
Answer:	In order to use your MP3 player you must use a headphone jack. Wireless means they are Bluetooth compatible.
Question:	Does the worktunes bluetooth model have an aux in jack for connecting to a wired audio source
Answer:	There are 2 concepts here: 1) the type of signal transmitted (sent in digital format or analog format) and 2) the method of reception (analog tuner or digital tuner), This subject is confusing because both of these concepts use the terms digital and analog and people cross mix what they are referring to. This 3m WorkTunes does not receive digital format signals. This receives analog format signals (just like most of our car radios for local radio stations (note, Sirius XM is digital format) (old cars had analog tuners receiving analog format signals). Another way to say it: This headphone's method of reception uses a "digital tuner" to select the exact frequency of analog format transmissions from FM/AM stations. (It does not receive digital format transmissions from FM/AM stations) What it does digitally is set the frequency to the exact frequency and it stays there. With an analog tuner, it is hard to get to the exact frequency and it can drift up and down from the frequency you stopped at. There is no drift in a digital tuner. Digital tuning is the best for this application as it stays on the frequency you want no matter what. Now to answer your question "Is there no station fading". This refers to "digital transmission type" (which you always hear the station 100% or you hear nothing). Since, these headphones only receive "analog transmission types", then YES, you will have fading (because you will hear everything from 100% to 1%).
Question:	How long is the battery life when Using Bluetooth
Answer:	The blue tooth simply is not loud houseboy if I am in place where I am using a saw etc forget it I cont even hear it. It doesn't matter if I am hooked with my ophone, the TV, fire stick whatever, it is these headphone that artificially lower the Bluetooth volume. Anything connected to can be put on 100% it doesn't matter. 100% volume using the headphones and 100% volume on anything hooked to it through Bluetooth and it just is not loud enough unless I am doing nothing at all, meaning why have the headphone on in the first place. No way they are loud enough using a mower without straining to even hear what is being played. It really stinks that 50% of what is playing I cant hear over Bluetooth while using these. I have 4 pair over the years and they are all the same. It stupid I think they are trying to pretext our hearing. BUT the FM is ten time louder!
