Hey guys,

Could you recommend some high end hearing protection for concerts? My wife and I saw Adele in Vegas and I ended up stuffing some Kleenex on my ears :) we’re hitting Pitbull in a few months so I need a better solution than that.

Obviously I want to preserve as much of the audio quality as possible. Price isn’t a factor. I want the best.

Thanks!!

I can see you using ear plugs for Pitbull, but for Adele? Man, you must have some awesome audio gear to have all of the necessary details ingrained into your head. :)

Just kidding. :wink: So if you want triple flange ear plugs, etymotic has plenty models in stock:

Not enough flanges? Speedo has quad flange ear plugs as well:

Too many flanges? Speedo also has pliable silicone ear plugs as well:

Hope this helps. :)

Ha thanks! I was surprised how loud her voice got from up close. I also went to a concert to hear my homeboy play drums and it was ridiculously loud. There must be so many people walking around with hearing loss these days

Etymotic is unavailable. Speedo is for something different, you won't hear much through those. I'm using some other brands (unknown), but it has significant impact on sound quality, unfortunately. But still, i need to wear it, as sound engineers on concerts are probably deaf today.
