Earbud & Headphone Nozzle Mesh (IEC 60268-7) is used for covering the sound nozzle of earbuds and the driver opening of headphones so earwax and debris stay out while the high-frequency response is tuned.
Nozzle fit: Match diameter to the nozzle bore (commonly 4.5–6.5 mm) and specify flat or domed.
Acoustic damping: The mesh Rayl value sets how much the 6–10 kHz peak is softened; quote the frequency response target.
Color & finish: Black oxide or PVD makes the mesh visually disappear behind tinted housings.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Clean nozzles with a dry soft brush; liquids push wax deeper into the mesh.
When replacing a mesh, remove all old adhesive so the new disc sits flat and level.
Common Mistakes
Fitting any mesh that fits the nozzle — a different Rayl value changes the sound signature noticeably.
Glue squeezing into the open area, which partially blocks the mesh and dulls treble.
When Earbud & Headphone Nozzle Mesh Is Not the Right Choice
Not a medical-grade hearing-aid wax filter, which uses dedicated disposable filters approved for the device.
Earbud & Headphone Nozzle Mesh is made to order as finished parts. Indicative pricing starts from about US$0.050 per piece for a standard size at production quantity; the final price depends on size, material, finish, tooling and order volume.

Why does one earbud sound quieter than the other?
The most common cause is earwax blocking the nozzle mesh. Clean it gently; if it stays muffled, replace the mesh.
Does the nozzle mesh change how earbuds sound?
Yes. It damps the high-frequency peak; manufacturers tune the mesh as part of the acoustic design.
Stainless steel or fabric nozzle mesh?
Stainless is more durable and easier to clean; fabric gives more damping but traps wax.
