Noise Attenuation
This product has been tested to the European Safety Standard EN352-1:2002 and
the ANSI S3.19-1974 standard for a hearing protector, with a Single Number
Rating (SNR) of 27 dB and a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 21 dB. Full
testing details are available in the Noise Attenuation section of this
booklet.
ANSI S 3 .19 -19 74
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when ISOtunes® Sport DEFY Slim
headphones are worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference
between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the Noise Reduction
Rating (NRR). Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in
attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fitting.
- A1: Frequency (Hz)
- A2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
- A3: Standard Deviation (dB)
Example:
- The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
- The NRR of ISOtunes® Sport DEFY Slim is 21 dB.
- The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 79 dB.
- Please note that the NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise, such as gunfire.
EN 352
- B1: Frequency (Hz)
- B2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
- B3: Standard Deviation (dB)
- B4: Assumed Protection Value (APV) (dB)
- B5:
- H = Hearing protection estimation for high-frequency sounds (f ≥ 2000Hz)
- M = Hearing protection estimation for medium frequency sounds (500 Hz < f < 2000Hz)
- L = Hearing protection estimation for low-frequency sounds (f ≤ 500Hz)
SafeMax™ Technology
ISOtunes® Sport DEFY Slim incorporates SafeMax™ Technology, therefore its
volume output has been limited to 85 decibels. ISOtunes® Sport devices with

Tactical Sound Control™ Technology
This product includes TSC – Tactical Sound Control Technology™. This is a microphone technology that allows the user to hear the world around them, but always at a safe listening level. When ambient noise breaches a safe listening level, the microphone technology immediately responds and attenuates to a safe level. This feature automatically turns on when the product turns on. Adjusting the TSC volume is easy: simply turn the large dial up or down.
