Fender Musician Series Ear Plugs - 27db Noise Reduction - Black, 099-0542-000

For £12 these are a steal.Like many musicians I use earplugs on stage (and listening to live music) because I don’t want to go deaf or develop tinnitus. I own a number of different brands and they’re great, frequency transparent, good attenuation, comfortable, etc.The Fender ones have the best attenuation on the market (27db) that I can find. So I purchased some to give them a test.They come with a nice see-through box to keep them in and a springy plastic cord to keep them attached to each other. At first I didn’t like the cord and considered taking it off but, in use, I found it to be extremely practical.The ear plugs themselves are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and they do cut down noise levels considerably. I found I lost some treble frequencies but not to an annoying state. And, being honest, if you stand near a drummer who is playing cymbals damping down those high frequencies is a blessing.I’ve purchased several more sets and stuck a pair in each of my guitar cases and one in my bag of cables etc. So wherever I play I’ve always got a set in case I forget my ‘posh’ ones! I also keep a pair in my pocket when I go out just in case there is a live band or DJ performing.I’m not keen that they are black in colour so they’re not especially discreet but they work really well. For £12 there is simply no excuse not to have a set to miss out on hearing problems for life. Buy them as your main ear plugs, back-up set or just to carry in case you are exposed to high sound levels - you’ll thank me in later life!

These earbuds certainly cut down harmful frequencies when on stage but I thought they cut them down a bit to much. They need to be twisted a little to get a comfortable fit but once in i found they were fine.I'm a guitar vocalist so maybe what i want to hear is different to the drummer who recommended them to me. I would say these would be ideal for audiences at loud rock gigs to protect hearing and get more clarity when the db's are high and are for the price a great aid to musicians on a budget.

Present for someone who goes to regular very loud concerts. He found them very effective, reducing how loud it was without muffling the sound.It was a lot cheaper than other brands on Amazon, which surprised me

Really good at blocking noise but rather uncomfortable for anything over an hour I found

These are quite comfy for me and I am normally a medium, occaisionally a large using earbuds depending on manufacturer. They reduce the noise level by a lot, comes on a plastic neck cord.

Arrived promptly and no problem with supplier. However the actual product is made from poor quality rubber. They are large and unless you have unusually wide ear canals they do not fit well enough to actually cut out any sound. Probably best to stick with foam or silicon alternatives. Fender should not brand products like this.

As a flute/piccolo player in amateur orchestras I play a high instrument, and play near some very loud instruments, so ear plugs are crucial. These are a midpoint purchase for me before buying more expensive/fancy ones, but they are working well for now. They cut down on a lot of the volume, and when I am practising the piccolo at home they mean I can play for longer! The comfort is ok, they take a bit of a wiggle to get them right, and I worry whether they are doing their job properly where I tend to position them... only time will tell!

I'm dumb. I never wanted to wear earplugs as a frontman in a metal band because I figured A) it would effect me being able to hear the band and B) it's not rock n roll, is it?40 years old now and have pretty bad tinnitus so I figured I'd just get some cheap ones and give them a go for rehersal. Immediate head-slapping "D'oh!" moment as I could hear the band much better and no headache afterwards. I obviously realise I shoulda been wearing these in the studio for 20 years.If the above describes you then just get these, they work and they're cheap!
