HiFi Earplugs - Invisible Hearing Protection for Concerts, Music Festivals, Musicians, Motorcycles and other Discreet Comfortable High Fidelity Noise Reduction. With Compact Case and App

I originally bought my EarDials to protect my ears at overly loud music events.....this after I attended a wedding with music so loud it was literally painful. Then I had to have a battery of MRIs recently and for the first ones, they provided those flimsy foam ear plugs. For the second set, I thought to use my EarDials and they worked like a charm. Probably cut in half what I could still hear with the foam ones. Comfortable too! Highly recommended for a variety of ear muffling noise!

Here's the scoop on these ear plugs.I am someone who frequents music festivals and local venues to see varying electronic music artists. Over the last year, I noticed a very subtle decline in my hearing which is undoubtedly due to dancing the night away in front of speakers playing tunes till sunrise. I was initially going to go with a cheaper pair of earplugs, but the "Amazon's Choice" logo convinced me to give these a look. "$25 bucks?!" I told myself. No way, seemed too expensive. But after looking into the design more and their science-backed claims of noise protection, I figured I'd give it a shot; I guess spending a few bucks on preserving my hearing is something worthwhile.When they initially came in the mail, I was almost disappointed to see two small pieces of silicon that looked like they could be picked up from CVS. I figured I overpaid, but before jumping to conclusions I would at least give them a shot. I went to a local club here that had some techno and house DJs playing 8+ hour sets. As I was having a few drinks, I remembered that I had brought my Eardials, so I popped em' in.WOW. It was as if the clarity of the sound got even better, yet reduced to a noise level where my ears just felt more comfortable. DJ decides to drop one of your favorite songs? Move a little closer to the speaker, whip out your phone and open the app. The app is dummy-proof and so simple. You just click the app button, and a screen comes up with one big button that uses your phone's microphone to pick up the dB level to tell you how long you can listen where you're standing before suffering any hearing damage - both with and without Eardials in. (as a side note, even if you don't purchase Eardials, do yourself a favor and download the app - it's free).What blew me away the most was the clarity of voices of those talking around me. If you go out frequently, I'm sure you're all too familiar with the pains of having a conversation with someone anywhere music is playing due to the loud volume. Everyone ends up having to lean over to their friend's ear and make a" mini-megaphone" gesture using your hands to shout something into their ear. Not good guys, not good. You'll trash your hearing permanently. With the Eardials, I have no idea why, but the clarity of voices somehow seems to penetrate more efficiently than the music, which makes having a conversation with someone WAY easier. My friend looked at me as if I was over-exaggerating how great they were, so I let him try them on for a couple minutes. Lo and behold, he pulled out his phone and ordered a pair right then and there.The customer support is great. I got a direct response from the founder of the company (did not expect that at all) who addressed my small issue right away (which was actually completely my fault, but he still sent me a brand new pair). I thought that was pretty cool, as I assumed I would end up speaking with some sort of customer service rep.Okay, so nothing's perfect, right? Here is where I feel Eardials could improve. On my way home from an event in an uber, somehow the holding case managed to unscrew, and I lost one of my earplugs. Though there is a rubber o-ring to tighten the seal, the metal case does not tighten securely as good as plastic would. My suggestion would be to make a different locking mechanism on the case, such as some sort of "click" mechanism vs. the current screw-on design. Maybe even some sort of strong magnetic design.That being said, most of the other designs on carrying cases of similar products seem to have a similar design, so it's not really a drawback to the product. Oh yeah, remember that day-after feeling in your ears after a night of loud music, maybe a faint ringing and slight discomfort that resolves within a day or two? You won't after using these.Do yourself a favor and pick up a pair of these. Or two, that way when your friend tries them, they won't have to wait 2 days for them to come in the mail after they see how good they are.

I work at a country club where I sometimes work weddings. DJ's love to blast the music to astronomical levels, so I bought these to protect my ears from repeated exposure to loud music. Overall, these ear plugs work great. They're good at filtering out loud noise while still being able to hear people talk to you, and because they're clear, they're very discreet ( I used to wear these bright orange plugs that stuck out of my ears that I had to hide behind my hair. After a while, they do get uncomfortable so I take them out as soon as the DJ leaves, but this is an issue with all plugs that aren't custom formed to your ears so I don't really fault eardial for that. The only thing that really bothered me about this product was the case it comes with. A screw on case is not ideal for these. I've had them accidentally fall out as I'm unscrewing the top, and I sometimes lost the top. I think a flippable lid would work a lot better for these.

I am a drummer, an audiophile that uses UE Pro 11 IEMs, living in the live music capital of the World (Austin, TX), a motorcycle rider, a "too-loud-of-an-office" worker, and a casual handgun/shotgun shooter. I've tried over a dozen highly-rated, entry & mid level ($10-50), sound protection devices. EarDial's design, while shares the same fundamental design seen in others, has been mastered so that you have comfort (like nothing else mass produced that you've tried) & stealth design. The plugs are made from a much-softer medical-grade silicone which allow these to get a better/more-comfortable seal.Container design: one of my favorite aspects; the storage container. Perfect does not do it justice. You will think that it's too small (since it's nearly half the size of other company's containers) & that the ear plugs are getting crushed, but they fit perfectly & do not lose their shape while being stored. There is no other set of ear protection plugs that have such a compact storage design, which fits my needs for storage & transport quite nicely. The lobster clasp is also high quality, & doesn't bend open like some of the other brands.The only semi-disappointing comment is that these are designed for someone with average ear canals (mine are quite large) & so I wish that these came in a larger diameter as well. I can sometimes feel these move further into my ear because of the cone tension, & move the filter away from being directed towards my eardrum, which makes it sound like your ears are clogged (like when you speak while plugging your ear with your finger) vs just being dampened.The company: fantastic service. Best warranty of 5yrs. Do not be surprised if you contact support & find the CEO takes a personal interest in resolving your issue. They make a truly fantastic product, but the company will be the reason why I end my search for ear protection.Overall, these have taken the place of all of my other ear protection devices for everything I do. I wear them at least 5hrs per day. I clean them with alcohol every day. I would only replace them with $200 custom hearing protection from UE Pro Custom, but would still keep these close at hand as my first choice.
