Hearing Protection: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $3.75 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.75 at volume, on a typical 15-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $3.75 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $3.20 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $2.75 |
What moves the price
For hearing protection, the drivers are impact rating, material, directionality, height compatibility, finish/coating, post size compatibility, attachment method, UV resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For mid-range hearing protection, the main price drivers are whether the product is passive ear muffs versus disposable/reusable earplugs, plus NRR/SNR, dielectric or electronic features, comfort materials, and custom printing/packaging. Real supplier routes that match this pattern are US-facing wholesale resellers for smaller MOQs and China OEM/ODM listings for 1,000+ unit runs; the China quotations show the clearest step-down pricing as volume rises, while US wholesalers are generally higher because they bundle import and distribution costs. Custom printing usually adds a small premium versus plain stock units, but the biggest jumps come from electronic amplification, foldable designs, or higher-spec cushions/seals.
