Hi-Fi natural sound musician's earplug

[Devil]

I'll be buying them and giving them a go.

I need them cause I have band practice every week and really hate the standard foam ones as it muffs all the frequencies. Possibily not so useful on the open road.

They'll do you good. I've used that style on stage with and without foldback and they're excellent as far as clarity goes.

Before I had decent ones I used foam ones at a gig with no foldback. Biffed them before finishing the first song! Couldn't hear shit!

Gotta be good to your ears, already noticed a bit of loss from the older days without earplugs at band practice.

Not many of us install the right plug in the left ear and push it all the way over like you do.

Haww haww

When you gonna show your ugly mug at the pub again? It's Bar Africa tonight, 8pmish the ride will turn up.

Have you seen the whisper kits for Shoei helmets?

I know what you mean, the wind swirls up under the chin bar/face etc; but it's not actually whistling past your ears, is it? With the helmets I've had, ears are surrounded by foam padding.

Maybe I've just got a big head?

I think the problem is that they go so deep into the bung hole ...

Never had that problem meself...

Give Carver a call - that'll be right up his (or your) alley...

I have a set of these ear plugs. I use them when playing in orchestras - the piccilo blasting at your ear hurts. I also use them when riding but the stems cause a problem with a tight fitting helmet. Mine were valued at $60 but I swaped then for lathe work done for a trombonist.

Just bought them, I'll let you guys know how they work out.

But do note, they are muscian style ear plugs so they don't muffle all the frequencies like the foam ones.

Cool, they arrived yesterday in the mail.

They come in a extremely tight zip lock bag which I had to use a craft knife to open it, which is good cause once you open it you can't return it.

It comes packaged with a nice set of instructions with a table at the back which tells you how much 'blasting' these ear plugs can protect you till you have to leave. Ranging from band practice sounds to rock concerts/sirens.

I'll whip few photos later on and do a review after my band practice today.

hahaha. I use Ear earplugs when playing for shows and find them fantastic for that. I have heard of people snipping the stalks off to wear them inside helmet but I prefer to use my plugs for lugs for riding. The musicians ones are best suited for what they're designed for (um, duh) and I also wear them when teaching a studio full of half a dozen beginner saxophone students - ideal for that situation!! I get really sore ears from some frequencies produced by woodwind instruments, especially saxes (which I love playing) but with my "Shrek ears" in I have no worries!

Come on HungusM, full report pleeaaasee, we're waiting...

I'd stick with foam earplugs unless I actually needed those things to hear high-frequency audio while performing music.

Watch this space, the review with the photos will be uploaded by tonight.
