The End of the "Fragile Filter" Era: POD® Pro EarSeal Triple-Flange
Professional-Grade Waterproof Ear Protection – If you need ear protection you can count on, the POD® Pro EarSeal Triple-Flange is the definitive choice. With over 30 years of experience in the water and tested by surfers and swimmers who demand solid protection, the Pro Triple-Flange offers a superior waterproof seal, balanced sound, and lasting durability.
This is more than just another earplug. It was made by people who understand a fundamental truth: gear must be tough, reliable, and easy to use. In the water, complexity is the enemy of performance.
Why Ear Protection Matters
Cold water, wind, and extended immersion stress your ear canal. This leads to irritation, trapped moisture, and discomfort, rising to the risk of long-term problems like surfer’s ear (exostosis) and swimmer’s ear.
If you spend time in the ocean or pool, ear protection is a necessity, not an option. The POD® Pro EarSeal Triple-Flange forms a snug, tapered seal that blocks water while keeping you aware of your surroundings, allowing you to stay comfortable and confident in the water for longer.
Key Features: Substance Over Complexity
- Triple-Flange Pro Seal – The triple-flange design provides a deep, stable seal that keeps water out, even during high-impact duck dives or rough conditions. It doesn't just sit in the ear; it contours to it.
- Professional-Grade Sound Balance (No "Tech Tax") – Unlike high-priced modular plugs that rely on fragile mesh filters, which are prone to clogging with salt and separating, the Triple-Flange uses high-performance TPR to balance sound. This Material-Engineered Acoustic Shaping provides clear environmental awareness and easy conversation, without the "muffled" feeling of cheap plugs. By removing delicate filters, we’ve eliminated the most common point of failure.
- Reinforced 90cm Adjustable Bungee Cord – While thin silicone cords snap under pressure, our long neck cord is built with a durable outer Nylon and an inner TPE. The adjustable toggle prevents it from slipping over your head in big waves. It is built to stay with you, session after session.
- Intuitive and Secure Fit – The Triple-Flange Pro uses ultra-soft materials that mimic the flexibility of silicone, allowing the flanges to instantly find their own "sweet spot." It provides a professional-grade seal that feels light and unobtrusive, even during four-hour sessions.
- Iconic POD® Silicone Pouch (Pro Edition) – In true POD fashion, this model features our signature translucent POD Blue silicone pouch with a magnetic self-closing vertical entry for secure access. This design leverages the same "Intelligent Airflow" theory as our Dry-Capsule Eyewear Cases; a Diamond-Array of integrated vertical ventilation ports ensures rapid moisture escape. These ports allow your EarSeals to dry quickly and stay hygienic through constant atmospheric exchange, while the high-contrast white carabiner provides a secure attachment to your gear.
Why the POD® Pro EarSeal is the Definitive Choice
Designed from real-world feedback, developed and refined alongside experienced surfers, swimmers, and surf industry professionals who understand what performs reliably in the impact zone and what fails in the lab.
Purpose-Built, One-Piece Design The Pro Triple-Flange is engineered as a simple, robust system. Unlike multi-part modular earplugs that rely on delicate filters, thin cords, or interchangeable components, this one-piece design reduces complexity. We have removed every part that could break, clog, or get lost.
Secure Seal Without Fragility The triple-flange, tapered fit delivers professional-level water sealing without relying on fragile silicone cords or clip-in parts that snap or separate under load.
Professional Performance Without the "Corporate Markup" High performance shouldn’t come at the cost of unnecessary complexity or inflated pricing. While many modular earplugs retail for AUD $50–$70, the POD® Pro EarSeal delivers a durable, surf-ready solution for just AUD $30. We choose to value reliability and "Mechanical Truth" over the corporate markup. At POD®, you pay for the engineering that keeps you in the water, not the brand premium that keeps us in a boardroom.
