Sorry, don't know about those specific ones, but anyway, check my earplugs thread.

i dont want to have to spend that much wich was why i was looking at these ones.

[Asa Samuel]

anyone know anything about the style of the ones i posted up?

The first ones are Etymotic ER20's, just rebranded under another name. (although still called ER20) They're also marketed as Hearos High Fidelity plugs. These are the most highly recommended set unless you go for expensive custom made ones. They usually sell for around $10-15 in the US. I love mine.

I've seen a few good reviews of the Doc's plugs, too, but not nearly as many as the Ety's.

I love my Etymotic ER20's and they are probably the best money I have ever spent. I use them for music and for shooting firearms.

If those are the same as the ER20/Hearos, they're great.

do they fit younger teens?

[Rugaar]

Yep. Both of my daughters (10 and 13 yrs) have worn them. The flanges are pretty soft so they're easy to put in and take out and relatively comfortable, as far as earplugs go.

Tip on installing them--reach your left hand over your head and grab the top of your right ear. Pull it up and back, which opens up your ear canal. Wet the plug slightly with water or saliva and gently twist while inserting. And don't worry, you won't shove it in too far and damage your eardrum.

ok, thanks very much, i will get some of theese.

i went to a gig that reminded me to get some, was at the front and there were alot of girls screaming, really high pitched and i couldnt hear that well afterwards.

also the bassist went and stood infront of his 1x15 and 4x10 stack with a GK 2001RB head wich is bloody loud WITHOUT ear plugs, none of them had ear plugs and i just thought 'omg, if this is bad in the audience they should REALLY get some protection.

so i shall get those ones, thanks very much.

[Asa Samuel]

what about the clear ones? you can get them in small medium, large and extra large, wich size should i look for and how well would they fit that age range.

[Asa Samuel]

cause i really want them to fit properly, and not be noticeable wich is why the other ones are a last resort.

bump.
