Etymotic ER20 ETY Earplugs - Standard Size, Clear - High-Fidelity Hearing Protection - Up to 20 dB Sound Reduction - Reusable - Includes Neck Cord & Carrying Case

Best ear plugs ever. I wear them out to loud venues and I can still talk with friends while wearing them and I just makes the background noise so much better

I've been using Ear Peace for years but those muffle out much of the higher frequencies, so music is adversely affected. These Etymotics let you hear the cymbals, reeds, and bows a lot better, so they allow for a better listening experience. On the downside, I seem to have to take them out every five minutes or so due to a build up of intense itching. That might just be me and my hairy ear canals, or maybe an allergy to this particular silicone, but it is a serious issue for me personally.

As a teacher, I used these for a few days. The cute case hung on my lanyard. The plugs worked pretty good in lowering the overall dB in loud working environments, but the case didn’t snap shut all the way. The earplugs fell out once and I happened upon them on the floor. I thought I didn’t shut it all the way. I made sure that I was securely snapping the case after that. A few days later, I was reaching for them and the case was open, no plugs. I never found them again.

I have two sets of these. One stays in my glovebox and the other stays in a case on my pedalboard. The ones in my glovebox have seen Slayer, Motorhead, and a bunch of other bands I'd namedrop but you don't care about. They're comfortable, and do a good job bringing the overall volume level down without killing the highs or changing the sound too much. And if you care about the band enough to buy a ticket and spend an evening standing next to obnoxious smelly drunk guys who keep yelling "WOOOOO", then you should care enough to buy some earplugs that won't affect the overall sound. But you know what they won't do? They won't cure tinnitus. If you're looking at buying some earplugs and you look at the price and say "hmm random product reviewer, these seem a tad expensive compared to the squishy orange guys I usually buy" just.. don't. You need to use earplugs every single time. And you should get QUALITY earplugs like these. In my 20s I always bought the squishy orange ones and then took them out halfway through the show because it sounded like crap. Don't be like me and wind up with tinnitus in your 30s and have to have a fan or white noise in order to be able to fall asleep. It sucks. Wear hearing protection. These are comfy, cheap, and don't mess with the sound. Make your future self thank you.

Work great but I wish they came with better cases. I had a pair fall off my keys lost forever and another pair the key hole on the case ripped off.

I wore these at UNVRS when I went to see David Guetta, and they definitely helped. The club was insanely loud, but the earplugs made it much more bearable while still letting the music come through somewhat clearly. After about four hours my ears were still a bit sore, but without the plugs I’m sure it would have been much worse. Overall I’m glad I had them.

I love these earplugs, but this listing says 2-Pack and I only received one pair.

These are too small for my ears and so don't reduce the sound enough. I have a set of Etymotic earplugs I bought a few years ago that I love and these are definitely smaller.
