Alpine MusicSafe – High Fidelity Earplugs for Musicians – 2 Interchangeable Filter Sets: 19 & 22 dB – Professional Musician Hearing Protection – Transparent

Comfortable for long sessions. Great Attenuation!
I came to know Alpine when researching earplugs for riding motorcycles. Really liked what I had – comfortable, easy to insert and extract (they have a tail to pull them out).Had the opportunity to attend a Metallica M72 concert where I’d be close to the stage. Was concerned about the sound overwhelming the plugs I use for riding. Even though I had Alpine, I still did research for what was out there for musicians on stage. Figure – they are super close and must have good hearing protection. Short of, that is, getting custom ones made many of them have.Decided to go with these over another brand partly due to price and experience with another product of theirs. Used the highest protection “plugged” in. Have to say – they did phenomenally! Three bands over about 5 hours and could have left them in indefinitely. They were that comfortable. And the sound – was great! Didn’t feel like I was missing anything.Some have posted they had issues getting the plugs out of their ears. These don’t have the tabs like my motorcycle versions do. BUT they do have the string you can connect to them. It attaches to the stems, just under where the “plug” enters. Super easy to remove with that setup.It’s really nice how Alpine includes a 3rd earplug in case something happens to one of the others.The Juice: There are three levels of sound attenuation offered through three sets of inserts. I chose the highest level (gold plug). My Apple Watch Ultra v1 sound level measurements indicated the max at the concert was 114 dB with many measurements in the 110 area. NEVER felt uncomfortable and when all was over, could tell hearing was not impacted.ONE WARNING – the cleaner these come with. It’s a pump spray WITH a top that just pops off, not unscrews. I unscrewed it and lost 2/3rds of the fluid. It LOOKS like it just unscrews. Don’t do what I did.In the end – highly recommend these plugs for attending music events/concerts.

Too many pieces to deal with.
There are a lot of pieces with these plugs, which depends on your needs. I found these to be a hassle and purchased other sets that worked better for my needs. I don’t have the time to set up my earplugs and just want to grab a set of earplugs and go play.

Protect hearing
Fits well – this item was recommended by friend who plays lead guitar in heavy metal tribute band .

Good concept, but….
I bought these for practicing violin and viola. I liked the idea of filter customization. However, I found that the attenuation was pretty flat across all frequencies, and the gold filters with the highest protection were virtually the same in performance as using regular earplugs, cutting off most of the sound. I achieved somewhat better results with the silver and white filters, but found the attenuation to still be relatively flat.The main issue I had with these plugs is that they are very difficult to remove! The stems are quite short, and the only effective way to remove the plugs is to tug on them with the cord attached. However, the instructions say not to remove the plugs by the cord!I have gone back to my regular musician’s earplugs: Etymotic ER20. Better clarity and longer stems for easy removal – with or without the cord attached.

Since i bought them i have been to a concert and been able to use/test them. I am very happy that i bought this product. It makes a big difference when you use them. It’s much better for your ears, it takes a bit to get used to the feeling of it in your ears. But overall it is a good product, exceeded my expactations.

Świetnie się sprawdzają na koncertach…

tout à fait pratique et efficace !
