Great to keep old David Clark earmuffs working

  • By Edward from North Brookfield MA USA on Monday, January 21, 2013
  • Pros: Low cost, no tools needed, almost makes an old pair of DC's seem new.
  • Cons: Not so much a con, but its not a 'pop n' go'. It will take you 10-15 minutes to put the ear liners back on. It's just being slow and steady to work the rubber back over the lip. Those with big hands may find that task a bit harder, but once you get one on, the other side goes faster for you.
  • Review: I have a a set of David Clark 310's (they were my father's) that are over 30+ years old. All I needed to make them more effective was to pull out the old hardened rubber ear liner, the brittle foam inner liner. replace the old with the new, and they are good for another decade or so.
    The old pieces come out easy, and the foam liner inserts are a simple push-in, but it does take a bit of effort to get the ear liners back on. Just don't rush the task; line them up and slowly work the rubber over the plastic lip. Total time was maybe 15 minutes, most on working the ear liners slowly and methodically back on around the ear cup. Worth the effort.

Still Available After All These Years! Great Deal!

  • By Ron from Bloomington IL USA on Thursday, October 23, 2014
  • Pros: inexpensive, simple installation, fast (10 minute install)
  • Cons: none
  • Review: It is totally amazing to find that a repair kit is still available for my 35 year old noise reduction ear muffs. Even better, it was very inexpensive and extremely simple to install. The foam sound deadener was crumbling, and it took only 10 minutes to replace the components in both earpieces. I am very impressed with My Pilot. You get my five star rating!

Headphone Rebuild

  • By Jim from Jeffersonville OH USA on Monday, August 12, 2013
  • Pros: Made my old headphones new again. GREAT PRICE!
  • Cons: none
  • Review: I bought this "rebuild kit" for a set of headphones that I have had for years, and use for shooting. It made the headphones as good as new, or better. I was amazed at how much better the sound was muffled. Thank you.

Brought my DC Ear Protectors back to life

  • By A Customer from Stafford Springs CT USA on Wednesday, January 17, 2024
  • Pros: Work as hoped for.
  • Cons:
  • Review: My Dad bought 2 David Clark Ear Protectors back in the 70's for us to use when skeet shooting. They have been used by each of my children and myself cutting the lawn, leaf blowing, and skeet shooting. Foam finally crumbled due to age so I was thrilled to find this replacement kit available. Ear protectors are like new!

fixed them like new

  • By Paul from Slc UT USA on Thursday, February 11, 2016
  • Pros: cheap, hearing protector now like new
  • Cons: no instructions (but it wasn't exactly rocket science to figure out)
  • Review: Had an old David Clark 10A hearing protector. Ear cups broken in multiple places. Had no idea that the soft parts even could be purchased separately.

    After about 2 minutes' time, they are now like new. Another 30 years in them, I guess.

    Cheaper here than on the David Clark site, too.

As Advertised

  • By Dale from Virginia Beach VA USA on Wednesday, March 23, 2016
  • Pros: Quality materials, easy to install.
  • Cons: None
  • Review: I used this kit to renew a set of David Clark 10A hearing protectors that I've owned for a very long time. The kit replaced both the dome filter (foam) and the earseals. This brought the muffs back to like-new condition. Highly recommended.

Replacement parts

  • By John from Morrisville PA USA on Monday, October 3, 2016
  • Pros: Perfect hearing protection.
  • Cons: none
  • Review: I've had 2 David Clark hearing protectors for almost 50 years. They work. They reduce the exact amount of noise that still allows the user to hear range commands. I've rebuilt them about 7 times. One set has a little bit of rust on the chrome but it would take more money than the average person has in his wallet to get them away from me.

Perfect. Like new!

  • By A Customer from Seal Beach CA USA on Monday, May 16, 2022
  • Pros: Easy to install, no adhesive required.
  • Cons: none
  • Review: I bought the replacement kit to restore my dad's David Clark headphones that are over 40 years old! He's been gone over 20 years now and I keep his headphones as a keepsake, but the foam was completely rotted out. I wasn't sure if I would be able to put the parts on myself but it was very simple and they look and work good as new. Glad they haven't changed the parts and the quality and noise reduction is still great.

Restored to just like new

  • By Dave from Los Angeles CA USA on Saturday, August 6, 2016
  • Pros: Affordable, exact replacement for original parts.
  • Cons: Slightly challenging to install earseals until you get the technique right.
  • Review: The earseals and interior foam were a perfect fit and restored my headset to the way it was when first purchased more than 30 years ago. Viewing the David Clark YouTube video "How to Change Earseals" clarifies the right way to do the job--which is easy once you get the hang of it.

My favorite muffs are good as new again

  • By Steven from West Branch MI USA on Tuesday, July 18, 2017
  • Pros: Perfect fit exact OEM replacements
  • Cons: Necessarily tricky to install, they wouldn't fit right otherwise
  • Review: These are exact replacements for the originals. Due to their perfect fit they are a bit tricky to install and arthritic fingers will have a hard time doing it. However, they do fit perfectly and now are quiet and comfortable again. I've had a bunch of hearing protectors and none compare to these (on my head anyway) so I am tickled pink to have them back in service. Thank you for keeping them in inventory!
