Looking for recommendations for good ear protection during concerts. I want ear buds that don’t just muffle all the sound but limit higher unsafe frequencies while allowing you to still enjoy the music. I did a search and came up with a bunch of different kinds and varying reviews on amazon, I also asked my friend who is in the live audio business and he said I needed custom molded IEMs but that seemed a little over kill for me, even if it’s the best way.

This Site shows the common ones I’ve seen.

Thanks!

EDIT: thanks everyone for the reaponses, I will go through and look at each of the recommended solutioms works best for me.

    Yeah if you’re not a regular then I’d just get some silicone ones with the little flappies (not sure how to explain it, they’re like “layered”). Nowhere as good as moulded ones but still do the job and let you hear the music while keeping the ears safe. I keep mines in the little box they came in hanging on my keychain.

      That’s what I was thinking. I know custom molds are the best, but with how little I go it seems unnecessary. The eargasms that someone else mentioned look pretty good.
