VIBESHigh Fidelity Concert Ear Plugs – Reusable Noise Reducing Ear Plugs for Concerts, Musicians, Raves, and Live Events – Comfortable Hearing Protection for Loud Environments

We started wearing these several years ago and wouldn't go to concerts or the theater without them.Also good to wear when in.a crowded area, for.example traveling on public transport or.in a.noisy store. They come.in 3 sizes small, medium and large. I'm replacing mine as I left them in a place I was staying at.We use the neck bands purchased separately which helps to.prevent them falling on the floor.

Got these for my husband who suffers from tinitis. They help him greatly in loud noise situations and he can now enjoy going music concerts with minimal discomfort . Not a cure all but sure helps.

Update: I reached out to the company's support team and they got back to me within a few hours with an offer to send me a flip-top case! I was glad to hear back from them - this is definitely a positive resolution. I wish they included the items advertised, but they seem to stand behind their product and are willing to help make things right.I am fairly impressed by how the product works so far, but I am quite frustrated by the fact that this product ships with a completely different carrying case than what is advertised on the product page. The product page shows a "flip open" style case, which I was specifically looking to purchase. The product I received included a screw-top metal container. While this works and is able to carry the product, it is notably *not* what was advertised on the product page. If this case is something that you are specifically looking for, be wary (though, to echo, the ear plugs themself seem to work well enough).

I avoided concerts for years - not because I didn't want to go, but due to the noise level. Vibes have really helped make the experience manageable. They do distort the sound a bit along with lowering it, but it's a small price to pay so I can see and hear my favorite groups live. I can still definitely hear what's going on onstage, just not those around me so much.They're very easy to carry around in the provided case, though be careful as they are also easily lost. I lost one during an outdoor concert last year, but the amazing people around me helped look and we found it! They're thankfully pretty easy to clean.

Partner and I both have these now because they're quite frankly fantastic. A recommended by a doctor that I'm pretty good friends with and hands down fantastic recommendation. Pretty sure one of my friends bought a set as well because they're just that good. Can hear people talking passably well but absolutely clamps down on loud noise at weddings, restaurants, sporting events, etc.

These are sound canceling ear plugs.. they are comfortable and fit well. But they are not frequency specific, so you can't work with them if you need to hear for mixing.

These have always worked great. Bought them a few years ago and it was time to get a new pair. Would recommend to anyone who likes live music events.

TLDR: The round shaped tip allows and encourages the earplug to get sucked into the ear canal deeper than is easy to remove and, in my case, required a trip to urgent care and the associated bills.Full review:As a musician, I've used all manner of earplugs. For day-to-day band practice and going to concerts, I tend to use non-custom hi-fi musician's earplugs like the Vibes. After many years of using my preferred brand, I wanted to try something new because I've never loved the ear-feel of my preferred brand, but they do the job and I can rely on them. Reviews lead me to Vibes suggesting they were very comfortable so I decided to give them a shot.In every other brand of ear-hole-sized product I've used, I've always been happy with the standard, medium size. So when these arrive with the medium tips on, I just tried them on immediately. And upon putting them in my ears, they immediately got sucked in deeper into my ear canal to the point where I could not remove them with my fingers. I got one out with some careful work with needle-nosed pliers but the other one was too deep and I quickly went to urgent care to get it removed safely and professionally – at a significant cost to my wallet.Every other type of similar earplug I've used has a flared design where keeps getting bigger so unless you're using far to small a tip, it just reaches a place where it can't go further. These use a round design which, in retrospect, I should have known was a terrible idea. There's a rule regarding products that you insert into orifices, they're supposed to have a flared end so they can't be sucked up into that orifice. This product does not follow that rule and therefore is very unsafe.The varied sizes of the tips don't mitigate this safety problem. In the case of the ear canal, it has hard cartilage outer section and then a soft canal internally. I can easily imagine a situation where someone carefully fit these earplugs into the hard cartilage area and then in the jostling at a concert, the plug gets pushed in past its widest point to where it now gets sucked in deeper. I've seen no other earplug brand that uses such a round shape, rather than tapered, such so that a comfortable insertion is just a hairs breath away from a painful medical emergency.Seriously, avoid at all costs. I was pretty excited for some more comfortable plugs but I guess I'll go back to etymotics or try another one of the new players.
