- description
Anyone who wears glasses or prescription eye-pro under a headset knows the problem: the arm crosses the seal, lifts the cushion a millimetre or two off the skin, and opens a direct path for noise straight into the cup. It is one of the largest real-world losses of attenuation there is, and no amount of clamping force fixes it.
Relief cuts solve it properly. A channel is moulded into the top of the sealing face where the arms cross, so the eyewear slides along the groove and the head seal stays closed rather than being forced open. That is the entire point of the part.
Fitment is Howard Leight and Honeywell Impact Sport earmuffs, with a snap-in installation. It is worth being blunt about that, because these are an Earmor-branded part and it would be easy to assume they fit Earmor headsets. They do not. For Earmor cups, look at the S05, the S32B or the S33B depending on which headset you own.
Supplied as two pads — one pair.

Frequently asked questions
Will these fit my Earmor headset? No. Every source that publishes a fitment for the S12 names the Impact Sport, and the part does not appear in Earmor's 2026 cushion table at all. We listed it wrongly at first and this page is the correction.
How much attenuation does a spectacle arm actually cost? Enough to matter. The exact figure depends on the frame, but any gap that lets air through lets noise through with it.
Is there a non-gel version? Earmor's distribution also lists an S11, described as the PVC sponge version of the same relief-cut pad. We do not currently stock it.
Do I need these with contact lenses? No. These exist specifically to solve the spectacle-arm problem.
