I am wondering what type of ear plugs yall use when in a club or when your djing.
I left a club last night and my ears were muffeled for about 6 hours afterwords. Sucked. I know some of yall know what i am talking about.
I know that armin were's ear plugs when in a club and when he is djing also topher jones does to. i just not sure what type they have.
So if yall have some u use when in a club and djing what kind are they? |

I broke my expensive ones (the ACS 'moulded' to your ears fellas - known as the Musicians Earplugs (annoyingly without an apostrophe) in the US) which are really the Rolls Royce of ear plugs in my opinion. But, they also cost a lot of money.
Which is why I'm currently just using the Etymotic ER_20's - they have the same (or similar) filter as the ones I just mentioned, but aren't 'tailored' to your own ears.
Take it from someone who'd got really ty tinnitus - invest in good earplugs now, and use them - you really don't want this ringing in your ears all the time. |

Yeppers. I also recommend ER 20s. One of best purchase I've ever made. |

Can you get these in any drug store? |

Yep, same here - I wear ER-20's whenever I go clubbing after developing slight tinitus in my right ear. I've still got it now but not as bad and it would be a hell of a lot worse if I'd invested in a pair of decent earplugs.
The ER-20's are only about £11 so there's no excuse really. |

| And also, are they okay to wear while djing? I need earplugs bad but also don't want an annoyance while I am trying to dj. |

I don't think so cause they're quite specialist. Check out some decent record shops or on the internet. |

Well, the only problem with the ER-20's is they have quite a long stub attached which does get in the way of your headphones but I have seen some with shorter stubs. |

Or just cut them off. lol. Might be pain in the ass to get them out if you're drunk though
You can order these earplugs from http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.ne...CFRMFPgodEjCMIg |

Ha, the stubs are part of the mechanism that blocks/picks up sound...
They sound pretty decent...
Musicians plugs are the way to go for DJ'in though

I've been wearing a pair for a fair while now that I got custom made, the music sounds exactly the same except quieter; they block all frequencies uniformly by -25dB.
They are great, I wear them all night at clubs, even when I'm not DJing.
One question: does anyone disinfect their plugs? I find I get sore ears sometimes, either from the plug rubbing inside my ear, or maybe a small bacterial infection.
I think it's a good idea to disinfect... |
