Product Information

Think of it like an electrical circuit that has resistance points but still allows electricity to pass through. The pipe acts as an acoustic filter, which is the basis for wind musical instruments, and the thinking behind earplugs that claim to attenuate different sounds and frequencies. Both hearing experts didn’t have a chance to test any of the earplugs in a lab – the gold standard for determining their efficacy.

Although the Banz Kids earmuffs have padding on the headband and earcups, it’s not as soft as that of the Muted Earmuffs. These aren’t “invisible” like the brand claims, but as they’re relatively small we could actually barely see them when wearing. Although this design does work to attenuate some sound, we need to be wary of some assertions about these earplugs. Featuring the world's "only variable passive Hi-Fi filter" the 'plugs can be manoeuvred between settings with tiny dial at the top - with attenuation ranging from 7db to 25 db, with Minuendo even promising safe exposure to decibels of up to 120. They’re another way of making an acoustic filter with a mixture of some kind of foam plug for broadband attenuation and then a few thin resonant tubes to try to even out the frequency response,” Davies says.And, because the silicone material is soft and malleable, it hugs the depression in your outer ear for immediate comfort. If used properly they can provide about 20dB sound reduction, and while this wasn’t even the highest reduction of the ones we’ve tested, the sound quality while wearing these earplugs was only matched by one other pair. The Xperience Music earplugs feature a removable acoustic filter - for when you're not in the thick of it and come in a range of ravey colours such as neon pink and neon yellow. That way, they can see, in real-time, the effects that sound – and changing sound in response to these readings – will have on stress.

Calmer® Kids is a life-changing earplug alternative that reduces annoying noises without blocking sound. We thought this came with three different sizes of tips, but it turned out there were only two sizes and you get a third earplug for both of them. The coolest feature is the mobile app you can download, which will tell you the sound level around you and how long you can safely stay there. The Earos One earplugs offered sound reduction that’s similar in characteristic to the Loop’s, providing volume reduction without too much of a muffled quality.

Voix tells me that, quite literally, putting most things in our ears would give us similar results – although I can’t speak to how comfortable they’d be. They were also really comfy and fit snuggly into our ears – they come with silicone tips in a size M and L, so you can find the best fit for you. Our panel was split about fifty-fifty on how annoying this was to do, but we all agreed that it wasn’t something we’d want to spend time doing unless we used earplugs regularly. However, Davies says "the exercise seems to be accompanied by variable amounts of pseudoscience and marketing guff. In addition to doing the hands-on testing, we wanted to gauge the attenuation of each earplug in an objective way that took the human element out of the process.While we didn’t have any festivals scheduled during the testing period, we took these earplugs out for a spin while listening to live music and can testify that every single pair included in this round-up made a massive difference.

Within earplugs, the input end is the entrance to your ear canal, the pipe is your ear canal, and the output end is your eardrum, which is where you detect sound.

Coming with a handy do-it-yourself kit to mould the silicone-based plugs to your ears, the whole process takes around 10 minutes. I got these for my son who often becomes overwhelmed in noisy spaces - in particular at school in class. Custom earplugs offer a massive difference in sound quality compared with solid-foam or universal-fit musician earplugs.We enjoyed how much effort Eargasm has put in its branding with a light blue box with magnetic strip and matching instruction card. While you can still see them, these were some of the most subtle earplugs we’ve tried, thanks to their minimalist design. This is why we recommend that serious musicians or regular concert-goers invest in custom earplugs—they provide an all-around better experience. Earplug manufacturers Blox have the market covered when it comes to providing a range of low-cost earplugs for different functionalities.
