hi guys, i am considering in buying a set of hearos rock n roll series ear plugs i was wondering if anyone would recommend them or if any one has them and would like to tell me about them?

And i dont need to turn the amps down or anything like that so dont bother saying it me and my band play at an appropriate sound level but sometimes we walk away with headaches.

thanks

I use them currently, they're ok. I generally prefer to use moldable wax plugs because they seem to have more even noise cancellation without killing too much tone.
The RnR hearos don't fit well, and the blue center plug tends to come loose quite often.
They're also not all that discreet looking, so it kind of looks like you have a bunch of dirt in your ear.

I also use the etymotic earplugs. Seem to have a good reputation, heard about them on another thread here. They come in different sizes- the regular works for me, I think the large would be too big... just watch if you order them, make sure you get the size that you want.

Wouldn't think of rehearsing without them anymore- gets loud in that basement. Use them most of the time on gigs also, depending on the set up. Nice to finish, not have ear pain, ringing, etc, etc. Highly recommend these, or some ear plug!

I have one pair of the large and one of the regular. The large are probably a little too big but they cut more volume, can sound a little muffled compared to the regulars. The first time I tried the regulars I thought that these have to be too small as there seemed to be not reduction in volume. However I noticed that after practice I had zero ringing in my ears. I barely notice a difference but they do just enough to protect the ears without attenuating any frequencies. Very natural and comfortable.
