Fender Musician Series Ear Plugs, Black

Took these to a rock concert; they did great. I could hear the music and my ears didn't hurt. I'm sound-sensitive and can't handle fire alarms. When I pulled one out for a moment just to check, it was really obvious that things were a LOT louder without these. I put it back in immediately.It's kind of hard to hear people talking or yelling next to you when you have them in, plus I tried to sing something with these in and couldn't hear myself that well so I'm sure I sounded hilarious. The case is nice to have and they were comfortable to wear and easy to use.

I am using my mother's account to write this review. I am a senior in high school, who is a guitarist and works in a shop every day. I have been using these for a bit now and they work fantastically, following the instructions about opening the ear canal before putting it in results in a comfortable fit for my relatively big ears. I used them during my shop period and heavy power tools were being used. As a musician, my hearing is very important, so i put these in and they cut down the volume greatly, however i could still easily communicate at normal levels with my classmates and teacher, This is a fantastic product and i would highly recommend them to any musician who needs to keep their hearing in check

As a concert videographer and I have tried several options, like the foam kind that DO NOT work, this has a little pressure to it, but with the stem, it makes it easier to insert and pull, just beware of the pressure as it's like inserting a small plunger, but minus that discomfort, it works for sound dampening.

I love that these take away all the extra noise at loud concerts so I can hear the singer and like the individual instruments so much better. I can also hear people talk to me during loud music, but I have to pull it out of one ear to talk back and yell or they can't hear me.

I got these for a last minute concert I was going to, because they were the cheapest pair I could find quickly and honestly they worked fine. They did make the sound slightly muddy, but honestly not bad and 100% worth it to not be in pain after the concert. Especially since I was near the front and very close to a speaker. The carrying case these came with was also very nice and helped me keep from losing them.

I was hoping from other reviews that this would cut down the loudness level but leave mid-range sounds audible. It cuts down loudness all right, but it also lowers the volume of mid-range so that it's difficult to have a conversation while wearing them. I may be looking for the impossible. It's an improvement over foam plugs, and presumably does the job of helping to protect hearing, but I do need to remove at least one in order to have a conversation in a loud environment.

I can enjoy playing my music without the threat of losing my hearing every time the piccolos shriek and trumpets scream, yet I can still hear the conductor give instructions. Comes in black so it's easy to blend in during orchestra concerts. I like the neck cord so you can take them out of your ears and not lose them or scramble to dig them out of your pocket to put them in.

Wore these for 2 days right in front of the speakers at Beyond Wonderland. I didn't have any issues after with hearing loss! A little uncomfortable with how far in they go, but no pain. Just a little itchiness, which is probably my fault...
