I’m a senior in high school. I’ve always protected my hearing. My current earplugs are pretty shit. I plan on getting custom molded plugs at the end of the year before I go to college, but I have a lot of concerts before then (dinosaur jr, Meshuggah, and quicksand to name a few). What are the absolute best earplugs (for protection and quality) I can by off of Amazon.

    I have used Earasers for years and they’ve always done the job very well. I have the Euro spec ones currently and recently used them when I saw Disturbed. A couple times I checked the loudness with my phone and it measured close to 120db. With the Earasers I could hear the show clearly but had zero ringing or fatigue after.

      I have the same ones and have used them at many concerts with the same excellent result. Music is super clear and no ringing after… Except most recently I was up front at an Armin Van Buuren show and damn that was loud! I’ve never been in such a powerful sound field, and for hours too! I was wearing the Earasers Euro and afterwards I did have ringing for less than a day. I wasn’t super happy about that, so I went back online and noticed they have a “Max” filter that’s a few dB stronger, so I’m planning to order that and use either one based on how loud the show is.

      After reading this thread though I might order a few other types as well to compare.

        Wow that must’ve been crazy loud because I’ve never even had any ringing with the standard spec Earasers. I bought the Euro ones pretty recently. Never tried the max filter, but more protection can’t be a bad thing. I probably should’ve just gotten those instead of the Euro, but oh well. Maybe if I lose them lol
