D'AddariodBud High Fidelity Earplugs with Two Volume Settings -12 dB and -24 dB - No Batteries or Charging - Concert Ear Plugs - Noise Reduction Ear Plugs for Musicians, Concerts, Festivals, Gifts

These things are great. Very comfortable. Easy to use because they work just like a pair of earbuds. The ability to select the amount of protection just by moving a slider is great. Others require you to remove the eraplugs and replace inserts for different levels of protection. That runs a risk of losing components, especially if you are at a concert and it's dark.I bought them for a concert and they were PERFECT. Did not degrade the sound at all. During a band's set i had them set to -24db, and in between bands I put them to -12db so I didn't risk losing them by constantly taking them out and putting back in. In -12db I could easily talk with those near me.Used them at an indoor monster truck show at -12db setting and was still able to hear my son talking without any trouble while still protecting my ears.Only two minor complaints that aren't enough to lower the rating.They are SMALL. VERY SMALL. So far I have chosen to not use the included tether and haven't lost them. But be warned, these things will be VERY easy to lose.The second thing is the relatively weak magnets. They should be stronger. If using the tether around your neck, the magnets are meant to keep them from falling off. They did not feel very secure.

First concert with these last night. I am amazed! these are virtually invisable sound wise. Even at the 24db setting. I have the top Loops. Earpeace, and Eargasm plugs. Along with several pairs of the knock offs. NONE of them come close to being as transparent as these! Voice are clear along with the full range of music. Every other earplug I have tried sounds muffled at some point. Most in the upper mids. No other plug handles bass as well as these. Bass sounds clean and tight. Nothing is muddled, no distortion that I can notice. Every other plug I have tried distorts the lowest notes from a bass guitar. These do not. Back ground for reference: I attend several concerts a month in various venues, indoors and out. I hate using the word audiofile, but I have a high end home system, high end desk top monitors (not what guitar center calls high end), and custom in ear monitors. I only use lossless or high bit mp3, or vinyl. So I am speaking from experience and I understand and am will to pay for god sound. THESE are GOOD SOUND. do not hesitate to buy them! Buy them now. I am ordering 2 more pair for my wife and daughter. No one paid me for this review, I am just that excited to finally have a transparent earplug!!

I’ve tried a lot of musician ear plugs. These have been the best for me so far. They lower the sound just enough in the basic position. Great for front of house in the night DB closed position. The bad. The slide cover to adjust DB level can be difficult to slide. They need to include a better hard shell carry case.

I used these last year, 2024, at a concert in Houston- Adam Ant.And with Tinnitus on the left side and the fact we were in the front row near the speakers! these helped a lot. No issues after concert whatsoever.

It doesn’t cancel anything. These need to be canceled, it just reduces the volume of outside noise by 25%

Reduces sound and music perfectly. Having the option to increase or lower the sound feels magically compared to just a one and done earplugs. Other earplugs I found I had to take them out just to talk to ppl, and almost dropping them at the concert. I like that these I can remove them, and snap them together using the lanyard part, but its so well made I can hear ppl talking no problem.

Disappointing.I loved the original earplugs this company came out with: not sure what happened with these but after one night of work at my nightclub and they were tossing the trash.

I'm someone who loves going to concerts and being front row. Which unfortunately lead me to get tinnitus. I've been trying to be more aware and protect the hearing I do have and not allow the tinnitus to get worse (which it has). These helped do that. I was able to go to several shows within two weeks and have no worsening symptoms. They also didn't impact the clarity of the music. I've had other ear plugs that muffle everything. These didn't. I could hear everything perfectly.
