Alpine PartyPlug Ear Plugs for Concerts – Noise Cancelling Ear Plugs for Party and Clubbing – 21dB Premium Hearing Protection Against Loud Sound & Party Music – 1 Pair Reusable Earplugs (Transparent)

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

As a motorcyclist and someone who has worked in a noisy work environment, I have a lot of experience of wearing ear plugs.These are different to the industrial/motorcycle plugs I used, in that they don't leave your ears feeling blocked. They are also far more comfortable.By design they allow some sound through and I am able to enjoy music at gigs. They do a fantastic job of "taking the edge off" the sound so that it is still loud and clear, but not at a level that will damage your hearing.My Apple Watch will be screaming warnings at me about the volume, but I am perfectly comfortable and leave the venue without that ear ringing effect or fatigue I used to get.If I were right next to the speakers or working in a venue and exposed to that level of volume on a regular basis I'd probably go for something that blocks more sound, but this is ideal for the person who sits/stands/dances at a normal distance from the speakers and attends gigs occasionally.

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 purchased these last year and have used them at three gigs since.- I had very minor ringing in my ears after one event, but the event was for a couple of hours and I was relatively close to the speakers, so I can't complain.- For the other two events, I experienced no reduced hearing or ringing in my ears.- I could clearly hear the bands each time. The ear plugs did a great job of filtering out background noise and excess bass. The additional clarity was good enough that I could hear people talking to me over the music, rather than having to shout in each others ears.There will be better alternatives on the market, but at this price point you'll be hard pressed to find them.£11.95 for the sake of your hearing is a steal. Do not risk your hearing for the sake of a few gigs.

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 as I work in a relatively noisy warehouse and wanted discrete earplugs with a carry case.The case is well made, although relatively fiddly due to it's tiny size; be careful when opening the case as the earplugs can very easily fall out.The earplugs are very comfortable, I wear them 6 days a week for 10 hours continuously with no discomfort at all. Fantastic.I would not recommend these for a very noisy environment like if you're using a hammer drill or grinder or at an airshow etc as these are not designed for that. You will need something more substantial. Who / what would I recommend these for? Warehouse type work, clubs, anything of that kind of noise level - nothing more than moderately noisy.They are easy to clean although fiddly as you can imagine. Very durable too, no issues with fit or quality even after months of use.Thoroughly recommended.

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!
