Alpine MusicSafe - High Fidelity Earplugs for Musicians - 2 Interchangeable Filter Sets: 19 & 22 dB - Professional Musician Hearing Protection - Transparent

Great ear plugs!! Used at Brit Floyd concert, decibels were 97!! They worked great still heard music great, we used the medium silver. In the past our ears would be ringing on the way home and the next day, no ringing at all!!! Great buy with case to hold!!!

I've been using Alpine MusicSafe ear plugs for many years. They're great for concerts as well as loud bars and restaurants. They take the edge off in noisy environments and allow me to hear better. I'm a musician and perform with them as well. I've used several variations like the party plugs, which are also quite good, just not adjustable. These are the second generation of MusicSafe ear plugs and have the following differences: (1) Silver and Gold filters instead of white, silver and gold (I use silver unless going to a super loud concert) (2) The filters now have a plastic sheath which, I presume, makes them fit more snugly into the ear plugs. I suspect this was done to make it possible to pull the earplugs out by grabbing the ends of the filters, something that was not possible with the first generation. (3) The ear plugs themselves don't stick out quite as much, closely matching the profile of the party plugs. This is nice as I used to snip some of the end off of the first generation ear plugs because they stuck out so much. My guess as to why the first generation stuck out so much was to make them easier to remove, but since the filters stick in more tightly now I think this is less of an issue. (4) The ear plugs come with the same cylindrical carrying case (space for the other filters in the little bottom compartment), but they do not come with the insertion tool. This is possibly because the new filters make insertion easier, or perhaps because the added girth from the new filters makes it more difficult to cram the earplugs plus insertion tool into the case. Either way, I really like the insertion tool and will keep mine from the previous generation. I also think the party plugs have a superior case, so try getting a pair of each.

Overall, the sound profile is quite good. There's some muffling on the low end of speech but not too bad. I will warn, however, that the seating depth to get an appropriate seal is quite deep in my experience. I normally wear a Small eartip in all of my IEMs and these seat quite a bit further to achieve a good seal. My solution was to take a small bit of silk, unwaxed floss and tie it around the base of the filter at the seam where it's inserted to the silicone tip. I leave just enough length to wrap over the shell of my ear, just like you would with an IEM. It's unobtrusive and allows for the plugs to be gently removed and bundles up into the storage cannister just right. Update: Went to a metal concert (Sevendust, Disturbed, Three Days Grace). We were up at the corner of stage left, right under the PAs. I did wind up switching to the 27Db filter for a bit more comfort but they performed AMAZINGLY. I already have tinnitus in my right ear and it didn't aggravate it. No sign of tinnitus in my left ear. Perfect clarity of the music. I actually perceived better response for the drums with the gold/27Db filters. Highly recommend.

I needed these because I attend many concerts. Because the volume can vary tremendously show to show, these are perfect because the noise reduction is changeable by the level of volume control needed.

El sonido es genial, se escucha todo claro y la reducción de ruido es notoria

Hi, I bought these a while ago, but finally had a chance to use them. Was at a metal show at a small club, and the sound was really LOUD. Lots of people were commenting on how loud the band was afterwards. What really impressed me is that these earplugs stood up to the wall of sound put out by a black metal band, and I was able to hear everything without that muffled sound you get from cheaper earplugs. I heard the music perfectly - so much so that I was worried they weren't actually working. I have some tinnitus from years of metal and punk shows without hearing protection, so I can be very sensitive, particularly the next morning. No problems after the show with these earplugs. I should mention that the small metal case they supplied is a thoughtful feature. I like to take out the plugs in-between bands, and there was no fumbling with a larger, plastic case or worries about it being too large. The case fits neatly in a jeans pocket. All in all, these things are great, and I'd buy them again.

I get a very good fit and seal with the soft ear tip. The fidelity of the sound is comparable or perhaps better than the ER20's I've used for years. My one complaint is that when trying to switch between the two different filter types, it is very difficult to remove the filter. I ended up having to pull and stretch the material almost to the point of ripping it to remove the one filter before switching it to the other. This could be easily addressed by an instruction or suggestion to put some lubricant on the filter before inserted, but I would not want to guess about what lubricant would be best. Is it possible for the seller to respond to this review?

I go to a lot of shows and also play in a band and always recommend these ear plugs. I usually just always keep them in my pocket since the case is so convenient. The inserts are great for quieter concerts, or when I am playing and want to hear better but the heavy duty inserts are a great option to save my ears. Great documentation on the noise reduction levels on the packaging that I have actually referenced a few times for safety.

Zitten lekker en dempen goed!

After damaging my hearing at gigs in the past, I'm increasingly cautious protecting what I have left. I've worn the free foam plugs you find at venues, but I find they're too small for me and muffle the sound. Bought these to see Blood Incantations. They stayed in my ears properly and were really comfortable. More importantly, I could still hear the band playing really clearly. It sounded like a different mix, but didn't have the dull, muffled treble you'd get from foam plugs. Have used them lots since, either to keep focus at work or mowing the lawn. Great plugs.

These worked exactly as intended. Crystal clear sound from the rest of the band. I played the snare today, and my ears didn’t hurt after, so you know it’s gotta be good lol. Normally I’d include a pic, but they look exactly as shown so I won’t bother. Cool case with keychain ring too! Very small and portable. One downside is that when I also played trombone, double-tounguing still gave that weird hollow echo sound that foam earplugs do, so I had to take them out to hear properly. Other than that it’s great!

Top qualité et efficacité à toute épreuve.
