Hearprotek Concert Ear Plugs, 2 Pairs Reusable High Fidelity Musician Ear Plugs, 23db Noise Reduction, Green Silicone Earplugs for Concerts, Festivals, DJs, Nightclubs, Drumming, Parties

This may sound ridiculous but I almost wish they weren't as good as they are. I've taken them to about three shows now - I have horrible tinnitus in my ear, I bought these to keep it from getting worse mostly.They make the drums sound crystal clear, but you lose a lot of sound from the guitars. My buddy with me said one of those shows was the best he'd ever been to; I thought it was a great show, but because of the noise reduction I didn't get quite as into it as he did.This all sounds like a negative, I know - but, they do the job they're supposed to do, and they do it very very well. In spite of what I've written they only marginally take away from my band experience. My hearing is more important than experiencing full volume.My favorite part of these is the canister it comes with to store the earplugs in, I like that I can clip it to my belt and I just have a dedicated place for them. They're worlds better than trying to use foam earplugs, I'm not sure how price compares to other high quality plugs but these could easily last you years, so to me the cost is well worth it. They fit perfectly, sometimes it takes me a second to remove them but it's not enough of a bother for me personally.

I got these initially for my mom (63). We go to a lot of K-pop concerts and at every single one, there is at least one SCREAMER that totally ruins my mom’s whole experience. She ends up getting mad for the whole duration of the concert and then for a couple days after, it’s all she can do is to complain about the screamers. She complains how they made her go deaf after a certain point, how she hopes her hearing isn’t permanently damaged because of them, etc etc. Considering the target audience of K-pop being teenagers and early 20s, screamers are something I expect and choose not to let ruin my experience. However, my mom’s incessant complaining about them will ruin the experience for me!At my wits end and ready to snap at my mom after the last concert, I decided to look into concert ear buds. I figured that it surely had to be better than nothing to protect against the screamers. I got two pairs - one for each of us. We just had our first concert with the earbuds and I am very happy to report they are AMAZING. We could still hear the music and the artists talking just fine, but when it came to the shrill screams of the audience, it wasn’t piercing or uncomfortable. The earbuds were very comfortable once I got them positioned properly and I almost forgot I had them in a few times until the tether (I used it on mine, my mom went without) got tugged a couple times when I readjusted my hoodie.Highly recommend!

Recently I tested several earplugs before kpop concert season hit. My teen and I are into it (I’ve been listening since 2000 ish) and I have some hearing loss between singing in bands in another lifetime and a severe ear infection in my left ear as a kid where the drum ruptured. These were one of the ones I tested. My husband had these and said he liked them (he's old and into old school rock and roll for context. I think his first concert when he was a teen was Queen? Kansas? Anyway he's mainly been the driver during our kpop concert exploits and asks for cheap seats and earplugs for himself (he did quite enjoy both nights of Seventeen but not Aespa as much *shrug*). He said these fit well and he didn't need to change a thing. He was also never as close to the stage as we were though and said some of the screaming near him was painful so I cannot vouch for how well these actually work. They are a good price but I wouldn't feel safe if my kid was using just these and sitting near speakers.For me, it was a struggle. I could not get a good solid fit even with the smallest size so they were basically useless for noise blocking. YMMV. I know from having a hearing aid years ago that I have smaller ear canals (and who knew this was a thing?). The winners of my ear testing was regular eargasm ear blockers with the smallest size tips (note not extra small which I have not tried). My teen has (and yeah this is really weird) my EXACT ears. After she was born we were shocked how her little ears down to every fold look exactly like mine. Like they were cloned (yay genetics), so her not having to live with my EEEeEEeeeeeee was super important to me. She said eargasm worked best for her too with the small tips. I'll write a better review over there because I have caveats even with those.I cannot stress how important hearing is and I hope someday we can regrow those darn hairs (go science!). Because of tinnitus I have to sleep with several sound machines even while traveling because my hearing loss/damage EEEEEEeeeEEEEEE is loud enough to wake me up. I've mostly adapted but it still affects everything (we have to sit on one side because of hearing loss, when driving I have to be ever aware that I can’t hear out of one side, I can get startled by people or animals behind me, walking a dog becomes difficult because I need them to only walk on one side, and when I walked with my daughter she noticed that I have to walk with her on my right “good” side. Please take care of your hearing! I’m trying to be more accurate with my reviews so if this helped you please give me a thumbs up so I know to keep reviewing more!

Overall for $14 or whatever these are great. They unfortunately do cut out a lot of the mids, so it can be difficult to hear guitars (to me anyway). I bought these last second because I lost my higher end earplugs. Recommend in a pinch of if you're not a "sound" person. Be careful using the metal container, I accidentally got 1 plug stuck in the bottom and then the other one somehow lodged itself under that one and had to go 1/3 of a concert without hearing protection because I couldn't fish them out. I had to use a screwdriver to get them out. I would have used keys but I didn't have any available at the time.

Wore these for the Indy 500 this year, and they did great! The strap for the case held up fine. Big fingers took a little figuring out to get the case open but was fine. Gave the other pair to my brother who was also in attendance and he loved them.

They work fine, but it's hard to get them out of the metal keychain case without something to grab them. If you're in the pit and need to pull them out at the last minute, it's not happening. I will say there is a strap you can put them on and wear them around your neck, but the convenience of the keychain adds nothing.
