DownBeats High Fidelity Ear Plugs - Clear, Discreet Silicone Earplugs for Concerts & Festivals - Up to 18dB Noise Reduction - Black Case

Recently purchased these ahead of going to a loud heavy metal concert and was very impressed with them. Took a while for me to get used to taking them out and putting them back in comfortably but I'm a big fan.I've previously tried a range of plugs, from Senner MusicPro's that I found too large for my ears, Vibes earplugs that I found slightly fiddly that really stuck out of my ears, as well as military style plugs that sit in the whole of the ear and could never get a nice fit with them either. These DownBeats work really well for what I need. A big thing for me was the level of discreteness that they bring, as they tuck in to the ear really well and don't stick out like other brands. A handy carry case is a massive plus too, and the small size of them so long as you're careful with them are fairly easy to use too. I find holding the stem of the earplugs whilst pushing forward the two flange tips help to securely fit them, especially when inserting them in darkly lit venues with hardly any visibility.Having been to many concerts over the years and still being in my 20's I have started to become more aware of ear protection after seeing others at gigs with them in, not to mention the minor ringing I was often left with after getting home from concerts. I used these Downbeats for the first time at a recent Gojira concert and they worked really well. Having tried other ear plugs only at home for fit/comfort, I will say that ear protection in general does take some getting used to at concerts, as the sound is significantly reduced by 15 or 20dB and therefore I'd describe the sound as muffled with these in, but you can still hear the drums/guitars/vocals. Ultimately the sound quality is not as great with these in as opposed to hearing clearly without them, but in the long run they will massively protect your ears from the effects of tinnitus and constant loud events. I had these in at the gig for around 2 hours and took them out at different times to compare the sound, and even with having these in for probably 70% of the night and going to watch an incredibly loud metal band, I returned home with no ringing in my ears whatsoever, which shows they've definitely done their job.I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for discrete, cheap and useful ear protection.

I'm autistic and this helps cancel out higher frequencies like car horns and cutlery on plates.A very important point to note is that it does not reduce the volume of the sounds, it only cuts frequencies.This is very good if you need to hear people and reduce troublesome sounds, it is not good if you want to eliminate sounds completely. For that get 3M earplugs.For the purpose of hearing people in noisy environments like restauraunts or offices, this is very good.

Llevo muchos años iendo a festivales y concertos y en el último año he empezado a oir peor. He decidido probar unos tapones y por Internet me parecieron que los downbeats eran buena compra.Pues si, me gusta mas incluso estar escuchando con ellos puestos que sin ellos. Y zero cansancio de exposiciones a altos decobeles.

I go to about a dozen concerts every year and I typically stick right to the back because any closer to the music is too much for me. I went down a huge rabbit hole researching earplugs and almost spent $$$, then I bought these as a cheaper placeholder and to get used to earplugs in general. Any earplugs are better than nothing when it comes to saving your hearing, but I find that these don't muffle like foam ones do, they just bring it down a few levels. Now I can comfortably be involved in a pit or hang out in the middle of a show, I don't know how I dealt with my ears ringing for years before theseI like the case they come in, they look slightly sus if you get patted down but I've never actually had a problem, I keep them clipped onto the inside of my jacket pocket so they're always there when I go to concerts. Would recommend

Après avoir commandé plein de modèles différents et de marques différentes, j'ai enfin trouvé des bouchons d'oreilles discrets ! Ils ne se voient presque pas et isolent assez bien du bruit sans déformer les sons (je m'en sers en concert).Le petit étui en métal est bien fait, il ne laisse pas entrer la poussière.
