im preordering tri-state and saw these ear plugs. from what i can see, they're designed to lower volume without killing the highs.

what you guys think? should i pick up a pair? $25usd~

they are cheaper on ebay

Who makes them?

Are they CSA / ANSI certified?

What are their DB rating?

i just gotta decide which color.

pretty fancy but it seems expensive for earplugs, but also i get free ones at work, the foam kind

Music is a powerful energy that flows though us. It's what brings us together. You forget of all of life's problem's and focus on the moment. The now. Nothing else matters but the way you feel and the movement of your body. It's an expression of the soul.

they're good but its just not the same. i could barely make out any melodies

i used them once

I just recently ordered a pair, it only took two days to come in! Talk about service or what! They came to 22. well$12 and then $10 shipping. I have used them before and I swear by them.
Great sound quality!
The only little thing is, they kinda stick outta your ears a bit, but oh well, its worth the protection

For the price they are FANTASTIC!

Yes the do block some of the melody, but they save your ears. THe cheap free ones you get, are no comparision.

I highly recomend these. If you worried about the melody, just dont put them in as far. For special songs, i usually just take them out a bit. YOu have to be aware though, if you do that, you are negating the protectivness of the plugs a bit.

Again, for $20, cant beat them.

I've got a pair of the ER20s and I can vouch for the distinct lack of ear-ringing after leaving the club.

I'd never go without them again.

So I should buy?

Katys trying really to convince me to invest! I think it'd be wise.

Im worried about losing them then. I dont mean to unfairly compare them to cheapass foam ones you buy for 5$ at the IDA store, but those ALWAYS fall out my ears.

I hope that I likely wouldn't have this problem w/ these high-quality, top-notch ones?

RJ? Any comments? Cale?

Eh. I got pair of orange earplugs with strings attached to them so I never lose them.
Yeah I look like a freak, but that's nothing new and I go to clubs to listen to the beats and dance my ass off anyways.

Went on a bit of a spree and bought a pair just for shits and giggles while I was on the Anjunabeats web shop.. They sound like a good idea.

If they're the real McCoy, I'll order some clear ones.
