Yeah I used them to dj with, it's weird thats for sure. the music still is muffled, despite whatevery one says. Not a lot granted, and they are a hundered times better than any crappy throw away plugs.
And they are worth every penny.
It's just a matter of getting used to them I guess, I do worry though that my mixes aint as clean as they are with plugs. i guess it reaally comes into its own in the club. When volumes are seriously loud. |

I have a wicked set of plugs that I used when I worked at the airport.
I always forget them....
I think they should at least give out plugs at the door so have an option at least...some places are unbearable... |

| a lot of places will have them they just aint on show and most people wont want them anyways cause they are too bothered about not looking bootylicious with day glow yellow things in their ears. |

| afaik every venue in the country has to have earplugs in case the barstaff request them, one of those odd health and safety laws, if you request them you should get them in theory |

Im guessing this is so if the bartender works in the club for many years and starts going def he cant sue his employee and say they sent him def. The club just turns around and tells them they could have worn earplugs and that them going def is there own problem. |

I remembered The End in London posted notices saying that earplugs were available for those that requested it. But to be honest, from the countries I've lived in (America, SE Asia, Europe) it seems only the UK (and maybe Europe) has such strict noise laws.
It should be available everywhere though in my opinion. I bring my Etymotics ER-20s most of the time or else I'll hang out away from the speaker stacks as much as I can. |

are the Er-20 good for Djing
how is it ocmpared to the custom plug.
I want to get custom earplugs, but It's gonna take a while to get them, so I want to know how good are this ones.
A Little worried about if the -20 db would be too low to feel the music.
Thanks... |

ER20s aren't really made for DJ'ing as the ends stick out a little. If you want earplugs for DJ'ing, I'd say go for the custom ones.
I don't use the ER20s for dj'ing, just when i go out clubbing. The odd times that I do spin out, I try keep the monitors as low as possible or turn it off when I'm not mixing. I admit I do forget a lot tho. :( |

er-20's are fine for mixing. you really have to push them in your ears far to make them less muffled. if they are nt in deep enough you get a less flat response.
if anyone knows drum and bass and dillinja/lemon d's 'valve' sound system. they give out plugs to everyone and say that they must only listen to the music for 20mins before you need to put the plugs in!
that system is very harsh to the ears. |

So does anyone here wear ear plugs when mixing? I've never tried such, and, therefore, I'm not even sure if it would be possible. If you have mixed using plugs, what is the experience like? Beatmatching a pain? I only mix at home, and I'll never play out at a club, so I probably don't have to worry about excessive sound, but you (plural) have managed to arouse my curiosity now. :) |
never done it myself, but yes, mixing with earplugs is quite possible. some of the nice expensive moulded plugs are the apparently. |
