Perfect for drumline

Had to do play crash cymbal for pep band and these have kept my ears comfortable while being in for 4+ hours sometimes.

Excellent and truly essential product!

This weekend, my wife and I saw a rock opera.

A week ago, we were at a friend's party, where the DJ blasted the music at a painful level. My ears were ringing for quite a while after we went home. I was determined that we will never put our hearing at risk like this, so I called Erik, my Sweetwater sales engineer.

Erik Bothwell did his usual awesome job of recommending the right product, and ensuring that it got to us in time for the rock opera.

We heard the singing and band clearly, but at a level of volume that left our ears completely normal after the play ended. We experienced no ringing in our ears at all.

I recommend this product with no reservations!

Works Pretty Well

These block out a fair bit of sound without totally cutting out auditory definition, and they are reasonably comfortable over the span of a couple of hours. I haven't tested them with music production, but they work well in movie theaters and in offices with obnoxious AC noise. And once you take the silly pull tabs off, they are pretty low profile. The only downside is that they get really dirty the moment you insert them.
Rated 4.5/5

Better than the other Etymotics

I've been using the standard $13 Etymotic earplugs (with the stems) for years and swear by them. Lost my last pair on a road trip and took a shot at these. Tried them at rehearsal last night and they were terrific. They didn't change the sound of the room at all, just made it quieter. Fantastic.
