Nice one Cam. I'm still keen to test them both out together before buying the other pair, but can feel I'll be getting your pair.

Last night I uses the $1 jobs @ armin. The $35 pair were allowing too much high in.

yeah i say they are well worth it...

nice review also

Cam, thanks for the update. It looks like they're working well for you, so that's money well spent.

Now here's an update of my quest for the "Holy Grail" plugs.

The $150 ones from Paxton Barrand are actually not Etymotic, but a brand called "Knowles". I asked how much it would cost if I wanted Etymotic attenuators, and the lady had to find out and call me back. She called and said it would cost $275.

I called around and managed to find some places that'll sell for cheaper. Clear Sound Hearing Services in Burwood sells them for $225.50. Hearing Life in Burwood sells them for $180. Excellence In Hearing in the city Dymocks Arcade sells them for $190, which is the one I'm getting them from.

The Etymotic attenuators are probably the best ones out there, but it's good to know that there are other lower cost ones out there in case people don't want to pay too much. Excellence In Hearing normally use GNResound Ternens attenuators in their musician plugs, and the plugs cost $120. I had to specifically request Etymotics, which at first the guy had trouble with in finding out where to get them. I had found out that Phonak is the Australian distributor of Etymotic ear plugs - a number of telephone calls confirmed this. As long as the clinic requests musician plug attenuators from Phonak, they'll be Etymotics.

Dude u got any more details on the name and locations of these stores?? I'd be interested in the one in Burwood and the one in the city... But I can't seem to find the businesses in the yellow pages with the names u've put down.

Dymocks Arcade is next to Dymocks book store on George street. Which is inbetween King and Market street I believe (Not sure if Market is on the other side). It's about 5 mins walk towards The Rocks from the end of the QvB. Will be going in some time early next year for sure.

Yes that's right djway. It's a walk down from Wynyard railway station, or walk up from Town Hall railway station.

Master_Yoda, both Excellence In Hearing and Clear Sound Hearing Services should be easily found in www.yellowpages.com.au, that's where I found them. I did a search for "Hearing aids" and they were part of the results.

I hope mine are ready tomorrow. If not, then it'll be in the new year, which means I'll probably use foam plugs during these holidays.

Burwood in Sydney, not Burwood in Melbourne

I use , for years now, a set of very common plugs made by Earmo.
A Dutch firm. www.earmo.nl
They are about EUR 25,-- and this include shipping.
Actually this product is not listed on the site. You have to call them and ask..
They use this kind of earplug as a 'guestplug' for production areas to protect the visitor against loud noises.

Use them frequently and you'll end up buying a new set every 2 years.

They are perfect!

They suck-up about 20-25 dB's and even more on the realy dangerous noises.
So they realy take the kick out of the noise.
Parties are just MORE enjoyable if you don't have to worry about the longterm problems of loud noises..
I can stick my head in the speakers and not need to worry..

You have only one set of ears.

But after reading this topic, i might go into the hearing-aid buisiness
And make a LOT of money!
