spongebob Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-MusicSafe-Filter-Plugs-Musicians/dp/B000VO8PR0/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1422443501&sr=1-1&keywords=alpine+ear+plugs"]http://www.amazon.co...lpine+ear+plugs[/url] Has anyone tried these? There's a positive on the sticky, but no more than that. I'm after a well-priced set that won't stick out a mile - and these seem pretty good from the Amazon reviews? Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I've got some of these. They sound fine and they're a little more comfortable for me than ER20s but they're more fiddly to put in and take out due to the shorter stems. Quote
PaulWarning Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 yeah, I use them, I don't have any trouble getting them in or out, but I have got big lugs, as with all other ear plugs I've tried they do knock out the top end frequencies more, fine if you're a bass player, not so good if you're a sound man Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 They look good - I've also used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACS-Pacato-Universal-Hearing-Protector-Earplugs-Music-Festivals-Concerts-Gift-/221529991088?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Access_RL&hash=item33943767b0 - which are great, low profile plugs also and don't sap too much bass or top end...

Matt P Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 i use these and the only issue i had was when i lost the little insertion tool, they just don't fit snugly if i don't use it, i had to make a new one from a bit of biro barrel but that was a 2 minute job. they sound good to me and i love the different inserts that they provide, great to be able to tune the attenuation to the gig. i've bought another set for my wife and our guitarist/frontman uses them as well.

Urban Bassman Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Another thumbs up from me. They do a good job. Quote
stuckinthepod Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yep I use them for practice and gigging. They are worth it. Quote
spongebob Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks chaps - will definitely order a pack before next weeks gig! Quote
essexbasscat Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I've used them for years, more so after the tinnitus kicked in. Even keep another pair in the car, as they really take the edge off road noise too. Custom moulded plugs do a better job, but they're a heftier price Quote
MacDaddy Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I prefer them to ER20's, but as others have said the insert tool is a pain. Quote
inthedoghouse Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 +1 here - I've used them for ages and wouldn't play without them Quote
BassBunny Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Been using them for years. Just bought my guitarist son a pair. Quote
