The top end frequencies Cheap plugs vs no plugs, I know what I'd do. (hey wow, I do it too )

Do you wear custom plugs????? You seem to push the custom 1's a fair bit

i use cheapo $5 ear plugs when i go out now, so much better! They take a bit of getting used to but are great in the long run!

I want to get custom made ones tho so i can use them for DJing aswell!! The more i play out the more im noticing my hearing deteorating quickly, so i want to get some soon.

I've seen a few people with pairs that stick out like that. They do stick out your ear a little bit. Personally I'm not comftable with that, but yeah as I said, get a few pairs, find what you like

It's possible with the custom plugs, I've heard quite a few rumors of Sasha doing it, and based on how they work, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. The thing with the cheap 1's is the way they work is either compressing the sound, or cutting certain frequencies.
