Hi-Fi natural sound musician's earplug

[HungusMaximist]

Well, finally after 2 weeks of fluffy around here's the review.

Like I mentioned in my last post, these ear plugs are aimed for muscians as they are meant to tone the volume of the incomming sound without cutting out the high & low frequencies (which alot of foam ones do and is perfect if you're a muso).

From first impressions I can say that everything is really well packaged and sealed, so kudos to the Trade-Me seller. Secondly, everything is so well packaged (which they are meant to be, for hygiene reasons) especially the zip lock bag that the ear plugs come in I had to cut it open.

When you open up the zip lock bag, there's a set of instructions on how to wear em and little table on the back which tells you about sound/noise 'exposure' times. The ear plugs itself is sealed inside another soft plastic/silcone like material pouch (for safe keeping) and it also has a little metal lace thingiee which you can clip it to your key rings as such.

As for the plugs, it's a white soft silicone sort of material with little plastic handles attached to end.

Now for sound test itself I went to a techno/dance gig in New Market after band practice and I can say it works like it charm. I can fully hear the music and people's speech but it just like turning down the volume and as the night ended I walked away with no ringing ears.

If you look at the pics attached on the back of the card is mentioned that if worn properly it will reduce the decible rating by 12. On paper it isn't alot but that's pretty much enough to save your ear from damage/ringing. As again, these are aimed at muscians and won't work as well as the foam ones/bees wax but will still save your hearing if you wear it during open road riding.

Comes in two sizes, white for peopel with bigger ear canals and the blue ones for people with small ones.

$24.99 from the Trade Me dude and I think they retail somewhere around the $40-60 from Music Shops.

So they claim 20dB across the frequency range? I'd be inclined to test that as my custom earplugs are about 30dB and far more substantial.
