Seriously though, if you use the foam ones and can't hear much when using them you're probably OK. Might be an idea to get a hearing test, then get some decent plugs.

He said that not all foam plugs are created equally, but on the whole, they offer better protection than the non custom Christmas tree types. At least they properly fill the ear canal, which the off the shelf ones don't. Only problem is it sounds like your playing under water!

MoonBassAlpha Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Slightly back on topic, did anyone buy the Ear Peace ones, and how are they? My ER20s are getting a bit ratty, and I like the idea of slightly less attenuation than the ER20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrig Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 [quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1447876219' post='2911195'] After seeing a recommendation on the "How did your gig Go Last Night?" thread I bought a pair of the Ear Peace plugs. They've given me a 20% discount code for anyone to use- it's [url="http://earpeaceuk.refr.cc/S3LN649"]http://earpeaceuk.refr.cc/S3LN649[/url] [/quote]Tried buying some today, but the discount code wont work, it shows at checkout but when you try to pay it says "[color=#717171] [/color][color=#717171]Customer information does not meet the requirements for the 20OFF discount code" [/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 That's odd - I've had about 20 emails so far saying people have used it. Maybe there was a time limit on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I sent them an email yesterday asking why, they never replied, but I thought I would go ahead and order some anyway, when I clicked on your link today, it said the offer is no longer valid, but I checked out anyway as the plugs were still my cart, and when it came to paying by PayPal, the discount was applied, so I guess they honored my original purchase and then ended the offer.

Woodinblack Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have just bought a second pair (for someone else). I used my first pair in a gig on saturday night and it was so much better than doing it without earplugs, or with the foam ones. They will be a constant companion for me at gigs now.
