This is the Upgraded version of Petvolve's noise protection ear muffs, adding adjustable straps to the same rated 35 decibel noise reduction and over-the-head fit, though its 4.4 star average currently sits a bit lower than the standard version's.
Owners who want a more customizable, adjustable fit than a fixed hook and loop band for loud events like grooming, storms, or travel.

Overview
["Petvolve markets this as the Upgraded version of its noise protection ear muffs, adding adjustable straps on top of the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating and over-the-head, hook and loop fit used in the standard model. It comes in a black and silver gray colorway rather than the standard's black and gray.", "Priced the same as the standard version at $55.99, the upgrade doesn't come at an added cost, but it also hasn't translated into a higher rating so far. Both versions sit well above the price of the liquid cleaners and wipes in this category, reflecting that they're a different kind of wearable product entirely.", "This version has 30 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, a larger sample than the standard version's 19 reviews, but a lower average. Around 400 units were reportedly bought last month, matching the standard version's pace."]
Pros
Adjustable straps added on top of the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating
Larger review sample than the standard version (30 vs 19)
Same price as the standard version, so no added cost for the upgrade
Reusable wearable rather than a consumable liquid or wipe
Cons
4.4 star average is lower than the standard version's 4.8 stars
Priced well above the liquid cleaners and wipes in this category
No listed sizing guidance, so fit isn't guaranteed for every dog's head shape
Performance notes
The adjustable strap feature is layered onto the same over-the-head, hook and loop fit and 35 decibel noise reduction rating as the standard Petvolve model, aimed at giving a more customizable fit rather than changing the core noise blocking approach.
What buyers say
With 30 reviews averaging 4.4 stars and roughly 400 units bought last month, feedback is decent but trails the standard version's 4.8 star average, so it's worth weighing whether the adjustable strap feature matters enough to offset the slightly lower rating.
The listing highlights adjustable straps added to the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating and over-the-head, hook and loop design used in Petvolve's standard version.
Does the upgrade come with a better rating?
Not currently. This version averages 4.4 stars across 30 reviews, while Petvolve's standard version averages 4.8 stars across 19 reviews, so the added strap feature hasn't translated into a higher score yet.
Will my dog tolerate wearing this?
That depends on the individual dog. Any over-the-head ear covering takes some getting used to, so introducing it gradually and pairing it with positive reinforcement is worth considering regardless of which version you choose.
