Alpine MusicSafe Pro High Fidelity Music Earplugs for Concert & Noise Reduction, 3 Interchangeable Premium Filter Sets - Professional Musicians Ear Protection - Hypoallergenic Reusable Invisible Plugs

Absolutely fantastic as a person with autism I have to be very particular with my needs particularly when it comes to night time routine and in past have had experience of different earplugs including both reusable and foam and have to say these are mind blowing I decided to start with the middle of line filters and was amazed with how these worked as for me softened music whilst totally blocking out all other sounds and with my autism is perfect for me as to be able to get any sleep I need to be able to listen to my Spotify binaural sounds albums and I think this is due to the design as in comparison to other ear plugs that complete block ear canal fully these actually comfortably sit in the actual hole in the ear canal itself which I find provide ls for a perfect and comfortable fit and the incuded clips and cord which simply snap on to the metal filters aid in ease of removal with a firm but gentle design meaning ease of removal is easy there use I’d recommend for people with autism/sound sensitivity and anyone who wants a quieter environment kudos to whoever designed these I will absolutely buy more for spares going forward and it’s definitely the case with these that good things come in small packages inc the carry case the fixing string and clips plus the spare tip 3 different attenuated filter types plus a useful cleaning spray make for a good kit and given my experience think the price is very reasonable for such a good product

These ear plugs seem to work well at muffling the sound level at noisy concerts. Previously I had used only an old pair of ear plugs from the 1970's and so was out of touch with what is now available. These Alpine ear plugs are a soft, clear, silicone material, with two 'skirts' to give a snug fit in the ear canal. They come with three pairs of filters: white, silver and gold (for low, medium and high noise level situations) and so you pick a pair of filters and push them into the ear plugs. They are a bit fiddly, (like the coloured pegs from an old game of travel Mastermind) and would be easy to drop and lose, especially in a dark concert and so it is sensible to fit them into the ear plugs before a gig, not during. They can be inserted in the ear and removed easily. To reduce the risk of losing one, a cord is included with clips at each end, which can be worn on the neck, but this is a very fine thread that you would not notice when wearing. The pack contained three ear plugs (a pair plus one spare) and three pairs of filters. So far I have attended one concert wearing the silver filters and another in the gold. Both were effective. I did not feel that I was missing out on any details of the music. I was pleased not to have noisy ringing in my ears after the shows. The set also includes a small bottle of a cleaning fluid and a handy zip case. The ear plugs can be washed in warm soapy water, but being transparent, could be easily lost when emptying the wash basin! I removed the filters before washing the ear plugs, but do not know whether this is actually necessary. (It is with another type of earplugs). The plugs can be reused many times, but I think they may be vulnerable to tearing eventually, whilst fitting and removing the filters. It doesn't seem very practical to try changing filters while at a gig, for risk of dropping one, so you need to guess the likely noise level in advance. I may buy a second set, simply to then be able to have three pairs of ear plugs made up, with white, silver and gold filters already inserted.

Really effective in reducing amplitude when in the confines of the practice room and I found that it helped to isolate and identify performance errors during rehearsal quite effectively too. Using these earplugs I could still engage in/ and hear conversations fairly reliably. A drawback I experienced when playing wind instruments was that your perception of your own sound was changed considerably ( although on a plus side it made me focus on pitch and sound production much more than usual!). This was much less of an issue on percussion. My work-around has been to use the earplugs when the group is very loud but remove when playing quieter music or solos ( the ease of use of these plugs makes this very practical to do). Overall I have found these earplugs to be really useful for me in reducing painful noise ( it is easy to change the filters as you require) and very good value but do think carefully about what you want to get from them and your individual circumstances.

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.

Great fit. Went straight for the highest of the three protection levels. Excellent volume reduction while retaining clarity of music and voices. Nice little leatherette keyring carry case. I appreciate the neck string, bonus third protector (presumably in case of loss) and cleaning fluid. Will be buying more and advising friends and family to do the same.

I have used various types of ear protection throughout my time playing guitar. This one sits in the middle, as I previously used silicon earplugs and loop earplugs. During my last Band practice, I used these on the highest noise reduction setting (by putting the gold one in the earbud). I noticed after practice there was a very subtle ringing in my ear still, which is most likely related to how it fits in my ears. I've quite wide ear canals, so to get it to work effectively, I had to put it in quite deep. I was a little worried that they might go too far and get stuck. The lanyard attachment helps get them out, and there appears to be some grip on it. However, it will probably give way in time. Therefore, if you have wide ear canals, this product might not be as effective. It would be nice if the product had different sizes to select from, ensuring you get the best fit for your ear. What I will give credit to is the sound quality. In the past, I've had a protection that dampens all sound, but with this pair I could hear my bandmates talking and my guitar with out needing to take them out. The carry case is of good quality, and has separate compartments for various items. There is a special section for the earpiece inserts, and they are in their secure. Overall, pretty good for the price. Came very quickly. Would probably be best for someone with ears different to mine

Are my ears getting more sensitive as I get older, or am I getting more grumpy?... I think I just appreciate how well my hearing still works and how I'd like it to stay that way. The adjustable level of noise reduction is most welcome. The white inserts just take things down a notch. You barely know they're in, but it's just a little more safe and comfortable. I used these for a lively performance at The Barbican. The silver inserts are to prevent hearing damage in a more rowdy environment like pubs and clubs. I can still hear the full range of music even up to Prodigy and Chemical Brothers live performance levels but they protect my ears from ringing afterwards. The gold inserts are for the loudest heavy metal gigs. I think they do take the edge off the audio clarity, but they do the job of protecting your hearing. The inclusion of a spare earpiece is most welcome. Should you lose one mid gig, you can still wear a (mismatched) pair to tide you over. Then I'd buy another set of these and have a spare insert.

Wore these recently at a rave. They did the job in terms of protecting my hearing - no ringing the following day. I took them off periodically to compare and there was a noticeable difference in sound quality - you inevitably lose something but I guess that's the price you pay. Also, some odd vibration sometimes from heavy bass sound. Will continue to use them but might try another brand too.
