Re: Ear Plugs
I use etyomic (something like that) research ones... I think they were £12 from a place online. However, due to the way I was treated on a previous purchase from them I am not reccomending them anymore. You can find them in any decent music store though...
I used to use the cheaper hearos, they worked fine but cut a lot of frequencies, these ones are much better and give a clearer sound. Of course, they won't be as good as the custom fitted sets as far a clarity, but they cost about £150 afaik...

Re: Ear Plugs
make sure you get musicians ear plugs not foam crap. Musicians ear plugs will reduce dB by like 15-20 and not muddy up like foam will.

Re: Ear Plugs
yeah the etymiotic ones are very good about giving a flat attenuation and nto just dropping all the highs like normal foam ones will do. Plus they are really comfortable. I just got the cheap ones for 10 bucks a pair. but they have special form fitted ones as well

Re: Ear Plugs
Do you find 15 dB to be enough attenuation to protect your ears? I wore 20 dB plugs last week when I went to see Motley Crue, and even though I was way in the back of the arena, my ears still rang for days afterwards. Maybe I just have overly sensitive ears, but I always resort to using the 32 NPR foam plugs, even though they block out too much of the high end.

Heros Rock N' Rol Ear Filters. Great for bedroom jams with the stereo. The 26 db actually retains clarity pretty well, in terms of sound differentiation & protection, but sometimes it sounds like there's a blanket over the amp.
The High Fidelity Heroes apparently have some kind of "flat attentuation" filter or something that allows you to hear the music as if you didn't have earplugs. Pretty cool, but is it true?

Re: Ear Plugs
^I've heard very good things about them. Never got the chance to try them out, or "A/B" them with my RnR Hearos.
I use Rock and Roll Hearos. Very good attenuation, and they don't kill too much of the highs. You do lose some though. Whenever I'm on stage though, I always EQ my amp to taste, then stick in the earplugs.

Re: Ear Plugs
I may buy a pair over Spring Break, so I'll make a post when I know!
I do the same thing with my amp at home. I set it first, then put the ear plugs in. I know I sound the way I want to, but sometimes I doesn't sound that with the earplugs...but I mean, you gotta protect your ears, right?
