Alpine PartyPlug Pro Ear Plugs for Concerts – Noise Cancelling Ear Plugs for Party and Clubbing – 23dB Hearing Protection Against Loud Sound & Party Music – 1 Pair Reusable Earplugs (Pro Natural)

Brilliant, wore to a pop concert and my ears were nicely protected. Didn't affect the quality of the music. Stayed in place and were very comfortable. A tiny bit fiddly to choose your size but

I bought these for a concert as I’ve got the motorbike alpines and find them to be comfy and great! These were great they didn’t take away from the music but helped me to have minimal ear ringing at a trance festival, even with being straight in front of the speakers (so close it made our hair feel like we were in a fan!) Great quality and fit really well. Case is great to pop them in your pocket and fit really nicely

The actual earplugs themselves are comfortable and do a good job at reducing volume without totally muffling whatever you're listening to. They preserve the highs a lot better than other earplugs I have tried, and they don't let in too much bass, i.e. they do sound relatively flat (compared to other brands). If you want better than this you're going to have to go for a pricey custom fit pair. They are let down by the accessories and so lose a star. The case is soft, combined with the clip it is bulky, the zip feels like it might open in your pocket and the earplugs may go missing. I wouldn't bother with the 'cord'. It's a cheap thin string with cheap plastic clips. The cleaning spray is pointless, the instructions tell you to wash with soap and water before using the spray, and this does a good job of cleaning them so I'm not sure what the point of the spray is, other than a waste of plastic and money. I would recommend based on the performance of the earplugs alone if you value a flatter requency response, but alpine could produce a much more appealing offering by simply selling the earplugs + an aluminium carrying tube for slightly less money (they do this for their other products, why not this one?). The current pricing is a bit steep for what you get.

I had these ready by the time I went to a musical show and they were great! Use: I was still able to hear the music and lyrics clearly without the harsh volume while sitting nearer to the front of the stage. I could hear people next to me but they weren't overwhelmingly loud, so you can still converse with those next to you with no issue. Comfort: I wore these for around 2 1/2 hours and I had no ringing in my ears after, even when one was starting to slip out towards the end of the performance. To compare this to a performance I went to without using these, which left me with ear ringing for a few hours, I can safely say it gives the experience of the performace wonderfully while preventing the ringing that would come after. Portability: I attached these to my backpack zippers. The small case stays securely clasped and doesn't break open when just hanging from the back while walking, yet is easy to open and close with my own hands. A good amount of space for the product while taking up very little as a whole, This was perfect portability! A serious consideration if you attend live music, loud performances or make music on the regular!

In terms of "is this the best ear protection i could buy?": Definitely worse, definitely better. Comfortable, good noise protection. Definitely compromises the sound quality in comparison with Loop. Not the worst. Maybe shop around if you're purchasing ear protection for gigs. If you're ADHD and need silence for focus then these are quite good.

I bought these ear plugs for my daughter, who plays keyboards in a band next to the drummer. They are just what she needed: They basically turn down the volume, without muffling it, so she can still hear things, but not to the point where the sound is potentially damaging her ears. The earplugs are bendy, which makes them easy to fit into and out of the ear. They are also comfortable to wear and small enough to not really be that noticeable. It's also good that they come in a little case. The case is approximately 5cm long and around 2.5cm wide, and could be fitted onto a keyring. It is much easier to find the case in a bag or pocket rather than having loose earplugs! It also keeps them clean. So all in all, I am very happy with these earplugs and would highly recommend them.

I had been using my Loop brand earplugs for about a year and at £30 they aren't cheap. I had to buy these Alpine branded things in an emergency travelling away. - they are more comfortable - i have relatively smaller ear canals (always having to use the small size rubber on your typical stereo ear buds) and these were such a perfect fit with the tapered conical design. In hindisght these make a lot more sense than a bud design so you don't have to squeeze in a rounded single size into your ear canal gap. - they did an immense job of drowning out loud club music whilst still being able to hear my friends talk easily enough. I have very sensitive hearing to background noise and these plugs cut away all of it whilst still letting in enough higher frequency sound. - given that i paid £11.56 these were worth every penny.

I suffer from tinnitus so going to concerts can make my ears ring out even louder for weeks afterwards. I bought these in the hopes that they would prevent that which they succeeded in doing. I was able to have conversations with people (before the music started) and hear things with relative ease. However, when it came to the music these drowned out a lot of the treble and made the music sound quite bass heavy, it wasn't to the point where the songs were bad, but it did dull the experience a bit as you miss subtle points in the songs and vocals that elevate the whole experience. I ended up taking them out 2 thirds of the way through as my favourite band came on and I wanted to hear everything. Despite me taking them out however the time I had them in did majorly help with my ears and they were only ringing for about a day or two afterwards so that is a significant plus point. All in all these are a GOOD product, not amazing, but could be better. It should be noted though that I am not an audio expert, these could be as good as it gets but, from my experience, you wouldn't be wasting your money buying these. Overall, I recommend them.
