Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • These worked great yet still allowed him to hear well enough not to be out of beat or tune with the rest of the group.
  • These work quite well, the case is easy to carry in a pocket, they go in easily (I used the standard fit size and they fit my small ears nicely)
  • These work wonders at reducing the volume, while still sounding quite clear.
  • I wish I had ordered the larger size to start with (there was no way to know without trying) but even without a perfect fit these work well
  • These work very well for lowering the volume of concerts and my motorcycle but still allow me to hear what is going on

Reviews around reduction (5.00 of 5)

  • I ride a motorcycle, so need both good fit and reduction of volume without sacrificing quality of sound
  • A slight loss of clarity, but with enough volume reduction to avoid the hearing hangover (ringing) that come from listening to hours of loud music.
  • What I was looking for is strong reduction in decibel volume, reduce the lows, keep the high's
  • These provide significant reduction in volume while keeping a balanced frequency response.
  • Comfortable for an entire show and good dynamic sound reduction

Reviews around case (4.76 of 5)

  • Throw in a cheap coin-purse style case (which should cost a dollar) and, literally, a thread for a neck leash, and the entire package should cost five bucks
  • These work quite well, the case is easy to carry in a pocket, they go in easily (I used the standard fit size and they fit my small ears nicely)
  • They are well made earplugs and come with a nice small case
  • They are very comfortable, and I love that they come with a durable carrying case.
  • Also, they are easy to insert/remove and come with a nice little case.

Reviews around product (4.46 of 5)

  • I imagine for someone with larger ears this product would be ideal.
  • This product definitely works in smaller loud rock clubs.
  • any other In-Ear earphone out there.tl;dr: Great product, buy it.
  • I'm out 20 bucks on a substandard product.
  • So the eargasms are basically an inferior product all the way around

Reviews around job (4.37 of 5)

  • I use every day at my noisy job. can still hear voices at 75% of normal hearing or a little less.
  • Although not perfect, the song your plugs do a great job at bringing the volume down to a reasonable level
  • I tested them by playing our loud piano and they seemed to do a good job reducing the volume but keeping the sound detail
  • These do a decent job making indoor concert easier on your ears
  • They do an excellent job of lowering the volume of music or noise by a large amount, all without distortion or noticeable coloring of the sound

Reviews around quality (4.32 of 5)

  • A cheap Chinese piece of crap, made with poor quality and does not do what it claims to do
  • I accept that for awesome sound quality with them on though.
  • The sound quality was great, so if it fits and is comfortable, lucky you!
  • The nice sound quality makes up for the uncomfortable design though
  • I am really sensitive to sound, particularly bad quality sound, and so often wear ear plugs, especially when I go to a movie.

Reviews around earplug (4.06 of 5)

  • I made the mistake of purchasing these earplugs without trying them on first
  • The earplugs were very comfortable and easy to forget they were in
  • Works as good or better than expensive custom earplugs!
  • I practice with a metal band three nights a week, and for a long time I was using cheap earplugs that I bought for doing yard work with noisy power equipment
  • I like these earplugs, but I they can fall out easily if they get bumped - especially if you're at a concert or night club

Reviews around hear (3.70 of 5)

  • So, if you're a performing musician who wants to protect his hearing while playing, these are a great choice
  • They block out the hearing damaging wind noise but lets my music from my Bluetooth unit come through clearly
  • I wear these to all musical events now to avoid ruining my hearing any further.
  • purchased these to protect my hearing, and they're great
  • I lost hearing in 1 ear in 2009, these cut out the my car wind/engine noise and let me listen to the music and the kids when they all scream at once

Reviews around fit (3.52 of 5)

  • Very large and visible and despite the size the fit is both uncomfortable and poor
  • Probably because of the poor fit I couldn't detect any reduction in sound level with the plugs
  • These work nicely, and the larger size is a good fit in my (male) ears.
  • Either way, it certainly wasn't enough to justify the poor protection and painful fit, not to mention the price.
  • I couldn't tell if how they felt in my ear was the right fit

Reviews around ear (3.40 of 5)

  • A bit too soft for me, my ears itched after about 10 minutes of wear
  • It was snug but after a few minutes to an hour my ears started to hurt
  • The sound quality is much better and still no ringing ears.
  • Must have item to protect your ears at festivals and concerts!
  • and I wanted something to protect my ears against loud musicians

Reviews around plug (3.30 of 5)

  • First my daughter tried the Etymotic plugs and didn't like the fit because they went too deep into her ear canal and felt uncomfortable
  • Wanted an alternative to cheap foam plugs that muffle everything
  • Having experienced the cheap foam plugs I was quite interested in an ear plug that didn't cut out all sound
  • so I've been constantly searching for good ear plugs to wear at shows
  • Clear ear plugs that are invisible from a distance while marching in a parade

Reviews around sound (3.00 of 5)

  • To top it off there was almost no change in sound and no protection from the loud sound of the band I play in
  • I've been very happy with them -- the sound is quieter but fairly accurate (to my ears).
  • I’m not able to tolerate loud sounds, so watching movies, or going to church and listening to the band is really a challenge
  • The sound that comes through is still crystal clear, just with lowered decibels
  • These plugs cut out the really high crisp sounds and make the drum sound more like a tenor.

Reviews around bar (2.75 of 5)

  • Works as it's supposed to, but gets crusty from my waxy ears
  • Concerts are instantly more enjoyable as you can clearly hear everything that is going on, as well as saving your hearing for the next day
  • I'm out at a loud bar, concert, or working the loud club bar at my second job
  • the bar was so loud that immediate I placed them back in.

Reviews around plastic (2.30 of 5)

  • Received the older more basic version of these with the blue tips and the straight clear plastic piece in the center...
  • They are made of hard and uncomfortable plastic that isn't malleable enough to create a seal
  • It's a plug of clear plastic inserted into the usual tri-umbrella of silicone.
  • The clear plastic pictured in the description is hard plastic
  • The hard plastic inner skeleton just isn't comfortable at all

Reviews around music (2.06 of 5)

  • One side effect that I liked was that I could hear myself sing when listening to the loud music.
  • I was able to enjoy the music without missing any significant frequency
  • I love listening to loud music, but at the music fest it was just too loud to not use some level of ear
  • The music was still loud but my ear drums did not hurt at all.
  • If you are around loud music or noises often, pick Up a set of these

Reviews around noise (1.36 of 5)

  • But it is cool that u can hear everything and it cancels out loud noise.
  • I bought this to use at concerts as I already have some hearing loss and tinnitus caused by exposure to loud noise at work
  • I expected them to provide greater noise reduction than my original ETY-20s, while allowing better clarity for the filtered sounds.
  • These are not the same thing as wearing loud noise hearing protection - like the stuff I wear for woodworking.
  • I have to push the standard fit in and the large seem like they filter less noise

Reviews around environment (1.00 of 5)

  • Hearing speech is good as well, better than without them in the noisy environment you put them to use
  • These are designed for music and audio professionals who work or play in loud Pro audio environments
  • Reasonable attenuation is provided for many loud environments.
  • These are a great choice for anyone looking out for their hearing who enjoys intelligibility and who works in a loud environment (bars with live music or DJs, manufacturing, etc).
  • Any way, these won't be of much help in a super loud environment

Reviews around lot (1.00 of 5)

  • I have tricky ears apparently because a lot of headphones are uncomfortable and most earphones are either unable to stay in my ears or painful to wear
  • I struggle with loud noises like movie theaters or restaurants, this brings down a lot of the volume without losing what people are saying.
  • and I could hear the volume going up during the concert, so that distracted me a lot
  • I compared the sound with the plugs on and off and found that the guitars and higher-pitched vocals were losing a lot of clarity with the plugs on

Reviews around club (1.00 of 5)

  • I'm out at a loud bar, concert, or working the loud club bar at my second job
  • These are best for outdoor concerts and most indoor venues, though in very loud clubs I find myself using the Flare audio Isolates for a very similar sound profile at -30db of reduction
  • This product definitely works in smaller loud rock clubs.
