Etymotic ER20S 20dB Reduction Earplugs

Whilst our drummer is keen to give me tinnitus, and I am keen to stop him doing so, I just dont have £100+ to spend on the plugs that are custom moulded to your ears. These plugs do a great job of bringing the noise in our cramped rehearsal space down to a more comfortable level. All in all, a great product at a great price.

Comfortable and effective ,I'am still able to hear without high leval of noise.

Comfortable and crystal clear in all frequencies. Besides spending over £100 on tailormade earplugs these are the best you can buy. Excellent value for money, especially if they protect your hearing.

I recently joined a band and required ear plugs which would protect my hearing whilst still allowing me to hear myself and others. These ear plugs achieve just that, allowing me to hear all vocals and sound with great clarity.

Decent earplugs for gigging with loud drummers. These will last for a decent amount of time too, so good value.

What can I say? Excellent quality, let me hear what both myself and the rest of the band are playing without ending up with my ears ringing halfway through the first song. Handy little lanyard thing to clip them onto when not in use, plus a secure rubber pouch to put them away in. You can't really go wrong with these in my honest opinion.

The band's drummer has just bought an acoustic kit with us having previously rehearsed and played live with an electronic Roland version. We need to be sure that this would not affect our hearing, and we were also trying different setups with backline vs our normal PA.

These earplugs are an excellent choice for lowering volumes yet retaining clarity. We had some concern that our singer would hear too much 'inner head' voice, and whilst this does occur, it was very quick to get used to and had no adverse effect on pitch or level of singing. We also found that the guitars and bass were not muffled, simply less noisy. Again, clarity of bass and treble were retained to all band members.

In-ear monitoring is a consideration for the future, but these ear buds are a fantastic intermediate step, especially for the price.

Our initial fears quickly dsimissed, we were able to concentrate on the playing and setup combinations.
