Etymotic ER20XS-SMF-C High Fidelity Reusable Earplugs [Clamshell Box] Ultra-Compact Comfortable Hearing Protection for Concerts, Festivals, Sports Events, -20dB even volume reduction, Standard Size

These came recommended; I have tinnitus and some hearing damage so as a live music lover need to protect my remaining hearing. I can wear these and hear the music or carry on a conversation reasonably well; the plugs take the edge off of painfully loud gigs without spoiling your enjoyment. If you want better protection and sound you’d have to pay a lot more for custom made ear plugs; these represent a good practical compromise. The cord makes them fiddly to get back in the small case -I’d prefer a slightly bigger pouch. Buy the delux set with various ear fitting/ sound level inserts.

Giving this only 4 stars because they can feel a little itchy with the type of plastic/silicone they use. I am still able to wear them for long periods, but sometimes they feel like they need adjusting. However the sound with these are impeccable! Much better than earpeace. Very clear and I never have the ringing in my ears.

Genuinely impressed with these, they filter fairly evenly across the spectrum and I didn't feel like I was loosing fidelity in any noticeable way.

Gift for partner. He loves them.

They work very well and music sounds good through them. I find they insert a little too far into my ears, which can cause discomfort over time.

They are decent for concerts, they reduce the volume way down and the mysic is decently clear. However, they only seem to really mute super loud music, so theyre not great for noise cancellation or isolation. At first they were quite uncomfortable and painful, but thats because i was burrying them too deep. Keep trying ways of putting them in and eventually theyre comfortable enough to where you dont notice them

These are so long and have to go so far into the ear they are not comfortable at all. I have another brands much softer “audiophile” type hearing protection which is far more comfortable.

Great earplugs, they don't muffle the sound, just make it quieter. Used these for several very loud gigs at the Brixton Academy and they worked really well. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the case is very tricky to snap closed properly, as a consequence I've lost my first pair to the streets of London. A different style of case would be better (maybe with a screw lid).

bien, le bruit est atténué mais reste présent

Honestly this are really bad only reduce 5db max and there is hi cut when you use it not flat at all

Fui al concierto de Fall Out Boy que tiene bastantes fuegos artificiales y para nada ni el sonido más fuerte me incomodó, tengo algo en el oído izquierdo que provoca que con el ruido fuerte escuche como bocina tronando, pero con estos taponcitos solo un momento sentí la sensación, por lo demas estuvo excelente! Los recomiendo mucho para conciertos ya que la reducción de sonido es buena y te deja escuchar bien al artista, el precio está muy bien

Takes a while for first time user. I couldn't fit into the ears deeper even if i follow the instructions. It was sticking out a lot. Today, i found a way where i slot it using in indeox finger to gently push in bit by bit from the top. Products help to muff off unwanted noise, i can hear the surrounding still. It still sticks out, not discreet, which am not sure if i want to continue using. Love the unique casing, gives easy access to the plugs.

Very pleased with how comfortable they are and the performance they offer. The included pouch is a great thing to have.
