these are saving my ears. hands down
me and the lads in my band are all early 20 y.o. and didn't wanna be deaf by 25. we play rock music, fairly heavy, and practice at gig volumes with high wattage gear. i'm sure i'm not the only one here who was suffering from the ringing ears after practice/gigs? it's hard not to with a rock drummer. now my bassist and drummer will not perform or practice without these earplugs. $30AUS from earjobs.com.au with free shipping. i'm sure if you're interested you can google dealers in your country or whatever. they do exactly what they describe: clear sound at lower volumes. they work a treat. i just got back from band practice now and thought i'd drop this topic in, because my ears feel PERFECT!
being the singer/guitarist in the band, i DO find they cut out the vocals a little too much (i think the have 20db cut or something), so i usually pull out the plug that is facing AWAY from the drums, as that seems to be the thing that blows my ears out the worst. so i can hear vocals a bit better in my right ear but my left ear is safely plugged from the nasty cymbal ringing.
anybody out there use earplugs/in-ear monitoring? in-ears will be next on my wishlist i think. shure are making some pretty decent priced quality IEM people keep telling me.. anybody use em?
