VIBES High Fidelity Concert Ear Plugs - Reusable Noise Reduction Earplugs for Loud Music, Musicians, Raves, Noise Sensitivity, Motorcycles, Airplanes, and Work - Clear

I'm a live music photographer and needed something I could keep in my ears comfortably for hours at a time so that the loud music levels wouldn't shred my ear drums up. I am SO grateful I found vibes because man, what a game changer. They filter in so much clarity while keeping out all the loudness. It's really crazy how well they work. I used to use ear plugs called Dub acoustics by Doppler Labs, but Doppler Labs went out of business in like 2019 and I lost my Dubs, so I gave Vibes a try and they actually work WAY better. I have now shot 4 concerts with these in my ears, and they work so well that sometimes I forget they're in my ears. They also included a lovely little hand written thank you note in the box, and they included some alternate size tips for different size ear holes, I switched over to the large tips because they come out the box with the medium ones already equipped. It was very easy to switch them to the large tips, and the little carrying case they come with is very handy too.I really can't say enough good things about Vibes. Way more comfy/less bulky than eargasms, etymotic ear plugs, or dubs (RIP). Does not feel like you're trying to suck your brain out with a plunger when you remove them from your ears either. And again, the clarity with which you can hear the music is actually BETTER than how it sounds without any ear plugs in at all. Plus for the price, you can't really beat 'em. Please, Vibes, I'm begging you to never go out of business lol.

Usage:I'm autistic, and loud or jarring sounds stress me out. These work really well and feel comfortable. Since they have little plastic handles, it's easy to get them in and out, and when I wear them, there's no sound occlusion effect that makes me feel like I'm underwater. Vibes are not for sleeping, though, because they will dislodge, but they're perfect for daytime usage.Why others didn't work for me:With regular foam earplugs, you have to twist, squeeze and then wait for them to re-inflate in your ear canal. It takes a lot of work to get them situated in your ears just right, and then you can't really hear any conversation after that. I also tried Loop and Flare. Both corded and cordless Flare kept falling out of my ears, and it only reduces the impact of stressful frequencies without reducing volume, and I wanted some volume reduction as well. With Loop Experience, it was difficult get them adjusted to fit my ear properly, and I didn't like the occlusion effect.Conclusion:Vibes are perfect for me. If you need less noise in your life– and less stress– give these a try.

Bought these specifically for use at noisy basketball and volleyball tournaments to which I take high school students. Finally had a chance to use them this past weekend. I've got large ear holes. I switched to the large size tips and thought a fraction larger would have been a bit better, but they certainly were not uncomfortable. Used them for most of a Friday evening and almost all Saturday. Ears never hurt. They definitely dampened the sound, but most things, especially noisy things, were still perfectly clear. Conversations at normal volume were ok, but ever so slightly muffled and just a bit more quiet than I would have preferred. I would say that the experience was satisfactory, but not miraculous. On the other hand, I certainly got my money's worth. I'm sure that you could pay significantly more for a 10 or 15% improvement which no doubt would sound miraculous, but I don't really need that. I experienced much less fatigue, and those sharp, unpleasant spikes of sound when all the fans erupted in cheers, etc. were no longer a factor. Recommended for those with proper expectations.

I keep these in my bag for wherever I go! The tiny case it comes with fits well in my pocket if I don't want a bag that day. I used to avoid a lot of events because of how sensitive my hearing is, but now I can enjoy bars and concerts with friends. My previous pair broke after a couple years, immediately bought them again because of how well they work. Super comfortable, and the clear color makes them not noticeable. You can clearly hear friends talking to you, but dims the loud surroundings. Great gift for people who go to a lot of loud events (protect their ears!) or autistic people like me who get overstimulated by sounds.

I bought 2 of these for an EDM festival and I was impressed. It did not hinder the ability to hear the music; however, it was slightly difficult to hear my girlfriend but it was an easy fix by talking louder or talking directly to each other’s ears. One thing I do wish for a was string attached to the end so I didn’t worry about losing them.
