I got mine at listen up canada done about a month ago. Total cost was $190 ($95 per ear) taxes etc. included. Didn't do hearing test or anything like that.

+1



and i do audio tech work for nightclubs.

there's several models available which are just different decibel attenuation... er9, er15, er25... so 9db, 15 db, and 25 db.

The er25s sound great. I can still hear everything rather quite clearly, except it's 25 db quieter.

ya i think im gonna start wearing earplugs, i find that i get ringing ears for several hours after i get home.

I always bring a set with me... don't always use them but always have em just in case, some clubs are just too loud some really don;t know how to tune their systems. I've stopped going to some clubs regardless of who is playing if they have a crap system set up.


BTW: I was in a Lowes today and noticed that they have identical plugs to the ER20's linked to in the second post... but Lowe's only wanted $3 for thiers with the same decible rating.
I have a pair of the ER20's and bought a pair of the lowes ones and next time I'm out I'll do a comparision... but they feel the same.

*nusty does not wear sunglasses at night, they make it hard to see and you could trip

i like the idea of bringing ear plugs incase it gets too loud.
i might start doing that....and if lowes really does have them for $3 i would probably pick up a pair.

I don't know which ones I used this weekend in New York...but whatever they were, I'm purchasing as soon as I get some money. It was the first time I'd ever used ear plugs in the club, and I actually PREFER the sound. You can enjoy the music better. When I had to take them out, I cringed at the noise level.

I originally wanted to use them b/c I had just recently watched It's All Gone Pete Tong...and when I was on my way to New York my one ear started hurting. I knew I wasn't going deaf, but people who know me well, know that I get all uppity about little things like that, so I borrowed someone's ear plugs. I'm glad I did b/c I never want to go to a club without them now!
