SENNER MusicPro - Reusable Hearing Protection Earplugs for Concert, Festival, Music and Club with Aluminium Container, Especially Light Ear Protectors to wear (tall black box transparent filter)

I originally bought a set of these a few years ago, in an effort to protect my hearing going to clubs and concerts.The first thing that sticks out about these is the packaging - being able to throw these on my keys or into a bag is incredibly handy. They are small enough to keep them on you everywhere you go.The plugs come in sanitary packing inside the case, which I appreciate. For this version, I also appreciate that there are 2 sizes of plug in the package for a better fit (I used the smaller size). The sound dampening mesh needs to be moved between plug casings if you want to use the different sized tips - this was fairly easy with a bit of patience.Comfort-wise, my original pair were slightly bigger, and this smaller size is perfect. I used them for about 8 hours of almost continuous wear and didn’t experience any pain/pressure.I bought the second pair as I left my first set at home when I travelled to a concert - they arrived in less than 24 hours.These plugs have the effect of turning the volume down on the world, essentially. I still got all the high and low ends of the sound at the concert, but the best part about these is that you don’t wake up the next day with ringing ears.I would also really recommend these for anybody with sensory issues related to sound - they lower my stress levels a lot in high-noise environments, but I can still easily hold conversations with the people I’m with.These are easy to put in, stay in, and are comfortable. They’re also easy to remove, and pretty unnoticeable if you don’t want to wear very conspicuous earplugs. I don’t leave the house without them now and would absolutely replace these in the morning if I were to lose them.Value for money and perform perfectly for my needs, easy recommendation!

I bought these hearing protectors for concerts and when playing my gongs at larger venues. I suffer from a small amount of hearing loss and tinnitus so protecting my hearing from further damage is paramount. I've worn these Senner ear plugs a number of times and they worked perfectly. Unlike many other products I've tried, these ear plugs effectively reduce the nose decibel levels with little to no loss of clarity which makes them perfect for what I need! They are well made and being transparent are unobtrusive. The longest I've worn them is for nearly three hours. I soon forget that I'm wearing them and found them to be very comfortable. They come in two sizes with a handy robust metal container. Personally, I found the container a little bulky for carrying around and instead I use another smaller case to keep them safe when I'm out and about. I have friends who use the Senner case without a problem.As with any hearing protection, it is important to find something that suits your needs and which fits neatly into the shape of your ear. The other key point it to ensure that they are fitted correctly. I know that this sounds (no pun intended!) like common sense but I know from working in noisy environments how many people fail to get this right and then blame the hearing protection. I like the fact that Senner believe 100% in their product and offer an unconditional money back guarantee.My personal experience with these ear pugs has been wholly positive and I highly recommend them.

So far I have only ever used Alpine MusicSafePro plugs with mostly the silver filter. I go to lots of metal gigs and so clarity and definition of sound is crucial otherwise it all sounds absolutely terrible. All those guitars and vocals occupying the same frequency spectrum is a challenge especially at high SPLs. The Alpines are great for protection but the sound is not great, very low mid heavy, they tend to leave around the 150-400Hz range relatively untouched which makes for a very "woolly", "honky" undefined sound that masks all detail for guitars and vocals.On to the Senners. The thing with these is that when they are difficult to insert properly.I have a feeling that any review 3 stars or lower that complains about sound quality and isolation has DEFINITELY not inserted these correctlyproperly as they are difficult. When you succeed in inserting these they sit very deep in your ear canal and so you get this vacuum suction type feeling which is weird but holy hell the sound is insanely good. With these filters, you can hear literally everything in the mix and concentrate on each instrument if you want to, which is mad. I have never been able to do that at a gig. Needless to say I had no ringing walking out of the gig. Perfect.The reason these get 4 stars is that whenever you smile, shout, sing, laugh etc. your ear canal flexes and makes these plugs lose their vacuum "grip" and first you feel them slip out very slightly and you return to the Alpine woolly and honky sound. So you push them back in again and you return to the amazing sound quality. This was my night, repeatedly pushing these back in (mostly in the left ear but that's just my head). I think this slippage may be due to the material these are made of, they are transparent glossy silicon which is high quality but does not "grip" the skin of your inner ear as well as the matte, porous texture of the Alpines. I suspect that if these were made out of the same material as the Alpines they might stay deep for longer.Alas my quest continues (I think ill bite the bullet and go with custom molds eventually) however when these are inserted properly they sound incredible.Also Amazon supplied the wrong case but hey ho...
