D'Addario dBud High Fidelity Earplugs

These things are great. Very comfortable. Easy to use because they work just like a pair of earbuds. The ability to select the amount of protection just by moving a slider is great. Others require you to remove the eraplugs and replace inserts for different levels of protection. That runs a risk of losing components, especially if you are at a concert and it's dark. I bought them for a concert and they were PERFECT. Did not degrade the sound at all. During a band's set i had them set to -24db, and in between bands I put them to -12db so I didn't risk losing them by constantly taking them out and putting back in. In -12db I could easily talk with those near me. Used them at an indoor monster truck show at -12db setting and was still able to hear my son talking without any trouble while still protecting my ears. Only two minor complaints that aren't enough to lower the rating. They are SMALL. VERY SMALL. So far I have chosen to not use the included tether and haven't lost them. But be warned, these things will be VERY easy to lose. The second thing is the relatively weak magnets. They should be stronger. If using the tether around your neck, the magnets are meant to keep them from falling off. They did not feel very secure.

Used these at a concert for the first time this weekend. WOW! What a difference! I realized at a show I was at recently that I was missing a lot because of my hearing protection. When my hero- an absolute legend in the rock world- came over on stage to talk to me- I missed most of what he said. So I began the search for new hearing protection. I liked the ability to change settings on these. At last weekend's show they were incredible- but unfortunately the attenuation wasn't quite enough (I was 4th row, DIRECTLY in FRONT of a bank of speakers). I had to put my other ones in. But for the first hour or so it was amazing. I will agree that it can be hard to find the correct positioning. When I came home from this weekend's show, I researched a little online and found a helpful tutorial that demonstrated how to properly position and fit them. NO Instructions come with the package. Also note that they are side specific. The inside of each bud is stamped into the plastic with a letter corresponding to the side it goes in, which you cannot see in a darkened club or stadium, so be sure that you put them in before going in. I gave them only 4 stars because the lack of instructions for fitting and the attenuation isn't quite enough for front row rock concerts.

First concert with these last night. I am amazed! these are virtually invisable sound wise. Even at the 24db setting. I have the top Loops. Earpeace, and Eargasm plugs. Along with several pairs of the knock offs. NONE of them come close to being as transparent as these! Voice are clear along with the full range of music. Every other earplug I have tried sounds muffled at some point. Most in the upper mids. No other plug handles bass as well as these. Bass sounds clean and tight. Nothing is muddled, no distortion that I can notice. Every other plug I have tried distorts the lowest notes from a bass guitar. These do not. Back ground for reference: I attend several concerts a month in various venues, indoors and out. I hate using the word audiofile, but I have a high end home system, high end desk top monitors (not what guitar center calls high end), and custom in ear monitors. I only use lossless or high bit mp3, or vinyl. So I am speaking from experience and I understand and am will to pay for god sound. THESE are GOOD SOUND. do not hesitate to buy them! Buy them now. I am ordering 2 more pair for my wife and daughter. No one paid me for this review, I am just that excited to finally have a transparent earplug!!

These might be the most uncomfortable, poorly fitting, poorly designed things I have ever put in my ears. I have tried all of the different sizes and they all hurt. I’m also absolutely not convinced that they actually block as much noise as they claim. A good pair of disposable foam earplugs work far better and are much more comfortable. Of course, you must put them in correctly, but if you do you might as well use those if you actually want to be comfortable.

Reducción de ruido excelente y cómodos para llevar

By far the most incredible investment you can make for your ears. These save my ears the next day when I go to shows and honestly, the music sounds SO much better with these things on than they do off.

Worst case I’ve ever had for earplugs. It doesn’t even close. Wack for the high price point.

Great! Can be fitted with SonicFoam SF3 if you prefer foam. In my experience, foam is much better

Pour ce qui de la qualité sonore, il n'y a rien à dire. C'est un bon produit, pour la durabilité, je ne suis pas certain! Cela fait une semaine que je les ai et que je les utilise à chaque jour, une craque est apparue dans le centre du mécanisme qui coulisse. Pour l'instant, il n'y a pas de dégradation au niveau sonore perceptible mais je crains qu'à long terme le produit finisse par tomber en morceaux As for the sound quality, there is nothing to say. It is a good product, as for the durability, I am not sure! I have had them for a week and I use them every day, a crack appeared in the center of the sliding mechanism. For the moment, there is no degradation in the perceptible sound level but I fear that in the long term the product will end up falling apart.

ottimi tappi con una fedeltà audio decente, ne ho provati una decina tra i modelli di fascia media più diffusi e questi hanno l'attenuazione meno distruttiva tra tutti i modelli provati. lo sportello a scorrimento è molto comodo e permette di tagliare ulteriori frequenze a seconda delle necessità, senza dover cambiare il filtro ai tappi ogni volta. comodissimo anche il cordino a cui si agganciano, utile a prevenirne la caduta accidentale e il successivo smarrimento, cosa molto frequente in contesti scuri e affollati. molto utile anche la calamita presente sul retro degli auricolari, che permette di unirli e appenderli al collo quando non vengono usati senza il rischio che si sfili il cordino. molto meno utile la confezione, una custodia in gomma abbastanza ingombrante senza né chiusura né asole. l'assenza di chiusura non garantisce che i tappi rimangano al suo interno in caso di movimento e sarebbe stato utile un qualunque foro per poterla appendere alla cintura o ad un cordino portachiavi. è stata velocemente sostituita con la custodia di un paio precedente

Ideales para conciertos, no alteran el sonido y protegen mucho.

As a working drummer I’ve had loads of different earplugs and these are by far the best for noise reduction and quality. The magnetic tip feature is the icing on the cake

Los llevo a todos los conciertos y discotecas. De maravilla para cuidar los oídos.
