Product Description
If you ever suffer from tinnitus ringing in the ears after gigs or clubbing, look no further! The all new MusicSafe Pro Attenuating Generic Earplugs are an absolutely huge hit with musicians & DJs alike, featuring a unique filter design allowing high frequencies to pass, ultimately providing the user with the advantage of receiving a brilliant natural and clean sound without dampened or muffled results. The Alpine pack includes three earplugs as standard, ruling out the need to purchase a whole new set, should you lose one of the plugs. Complete with three different filter sets with different attenuation rates as well as an insertion tube & storage container, the user is given the choice of which filter to use depending on the venue & sound level. The choice is down to personal preference, however the guidline below gives an indication as to the suitability of each filter: WHITE Filter for low level music e.g. Pubs, Bars. SILVER Filter for live Gigs and Clubs GOLD Filter for performing DJs Attention: Specific Filter use is down to personal preference. The above eXamples are simply a guidline provided for approXimate reference. Please try each Filter to decide which level is best suited for the venue you are in. If you still suffer from tinnitus ringing in the ears even after wearing the MusicSafe Pro, please switch to a Filter with a greater attenuation level, or consult your GP.

I'm a professional percussionist, currently on the King and I tour, and I had to buy a new set of ear plugs to replace the Elacins that I left at home (whoops!) I was going to go for the Elacins again, as the string they're on means I can whip the plugs in and out as necessary, but decided to try the Alpines instead based on the excellent reviews they had.
When they arrived I was very impressed with the 'bonus' ear-plug you get - it's nice that they recognise how easy it is to brush one off a stand and lose it forever, especially if you're a dopey musician! The filters themselves are a bit fiddly to put in, and there's definitely a knack to it: remember not to squeeze the plug too much as you're putting them in otherwise they won't go all the way.
Once the plugs are in your ear though, wow! Amazing clarity of sound yet at a reduced level. I was worried I'd have to take them out when playing quiet unison sections with the woodwind, but I can still hear everything perfectly clearly with them in. And then when things get loud (cacophonous tam-tam or cymbal rolls especially) they take enough edge off the top-end to preserve your precious hearing. Also other percussionists will be pleased to know that with the pronounced middle-high frequency roll off, you can hear fundamental notes a lot more clearly, which is great for tuning timps (or hearing how badly out of tune your glock is!)
The little carry case they come in is a nice touch, don't know if I'll be attaching it to my keyring anytime soon, but I'm sure some may find it useful!
So to sum up, I would heartily recommend these to everyone thinking of buying ear plugs.... Read more ›

I recieved a pair of these (well three actually, since it comes with a free earplug) for Christmas, and having now gigged with them, I can safely say that they really are great. It takes some getting used to (I was speaking quite quietly for a long time, much to the amusement of my bandmates) since you sound a lot louder to yourself when compared to everything else (I play the trumpet - if you are a guitarist, you may have a problem hearing your own amp over the other instruments, as it cuts out those middle frequencies very well). They are very comfortable (I haven't yet tried to adjust them, but apparently that can be done if you're handy with a knife) and much better than my previous pair of similarly styled earplugs. There is a noticeable difference between the three levels of protection, I have settled with the middle one. My ears are much happier now, and I strongly recommend these over the competition.

I like these a lot
Quality
Comfort
Portability - I got a tube with a keyring with the pack (no need to open my gig bag or look for them)
50% extra free lol - One extra. This applied to my previous Alpines which I lost. Now guess what? I didn't lose the spare one and now I still have two pairs even though I lost one pair and because with this pack I got the keyring tube and the case they can both be stored hygenically.
I wouldn't get anything else.
Only downside is that you really do have to speak LOUD when wearing them until you get used to it.

I suffer from tinnitus and have been looking for a good pair of ear plugs. These plugs block out harsh sharp noises from loud music while still letting you hear conversation. They have helped reduce the amount of extra ringing in my ears after a night out. They are quite subtle and you can even cut the extruding bits off. The included travel case is a great idea and the delivery was surprisingly quick. A great buy.

These ear plugs are comfortable and fit well. They give good clarity when listening to music, although there is a small dropoff of the higher frequencies.
An important advantage over similar ear plugs (e.g. Elacins) is that they can be trimmed to size if you don't want so much of the 'stalk' to be visible.
They come in a useful plastic case that attaches to a key fob. It would be even more useful if the carrying case was slightly smaller, though.

I bought these for listening to live music - being a tinnitus sufferer, gigs rapidly become unbearable without some kind of protection for my ears.
I decided to give them a stern test for their first use - the kind of aural pounding only Orbital can provide. The outcome was spectacular - using the gold inserts (the highest level of attenuation), Orbital's ear-splitting set was comfortable from beginning to end. In addition to to the benefit of a vastly reduced volume level, very loud live music is also much clearer and less distorted. I don't think I've enjoyed live music as much as I did using these, and now I have them I'll probably be going to a lot more live music events in the future.
Highly recommended!

I have owned a pair of these earplugs for about 3 years now (so they definitely last assuming you don't lose them!) but more importantly these do a great job at cutting down sound levels without removing your enjoyment of live music. I probably bought these a bit too late, as a reaction to the tinitis that I was starting to develop from playing live music, but can say that since I have used these my tinitis has not worsened and I do not have any extra ringing in the ears the day after a gig! Also, these earplugs mean that when I'm playing I can talk to my other bandmates much easier if needed, sound remains really clear which you don't get with cheapy foam blockers. Caring for the plugs is easy, they come in a very handy travel case to keep them hygienic and cleaning just involves putting them under a hot tap...

Yeah, Good
The ear plugs did a great job. After a heavy metal do, the next day, no hissing probs. Downside a little uncomfortable when wearing all day long.

Amazing for drumming
I'm part of an African drumming group of about 40 members. Sessions can get really loud and echoy. I've had other ear plugs which fail because they allow sound in when you move... Read more

They work well
I bought them to protect my ears at heavy metal gigs. Easy to put in. They certainly reduced the volume without reducing the quality of the sound in terms of frequency range.

good quality, sound blocking is effective and the sound coming in thanks to the filter is quite balanced. Definitively worth the price :)
