cheap $5 earplugs block out a lot of vital frequencies which causes the sound to degrade
custom made plugs just reduce the dB level leaving the frequency spectrum alone |

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 :p

augiologist custom plugs are costly
due to the ear moulds they have to create for ur ear
i don't know how effective these are
but give them a shot.
etymotic have quite a good rep in the audio field.
35 compared to 150. you do the math.

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.
