Works well [Posted on 2007-05-09]
These sound much better than those foam ear plugs. It takes some practice to get a good seal. A little water really helps.

High Fidelity Ear Plugs/filters
I play the trumpet in several bands and when I get stuck in front of the percussion section (particularly snare drums), earplugs are a necessity. I own a half dozen types of plugs, and they all block the sound, but they also muffle and distort it. These plugs simply lower the volume with a minimum of the muffling effect, so they are perfect for musicians in loud groups. Very comfortable, quick & easy to insert or remove.
They also seem perfect for concerts. For example, when Arturo Sandavol, the trumpet virtuoso, appeared locally, he used what must have been a 10,000 watt sound system. These ear plugs allow you to enjoy the music when a clueless sound engineer turns the volume three clicks past painful.
Note: Etymotic Research ER20BP High Fidelity Ear Plugs and Hearos High Fidelity Ear Filters are virtually identical, other than color variations.
Helped During MSG Concert of R.E.M. [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I wore these for the 1st time last week at the R.E.M. concert at MSG. Having attended several rock concerts over the last couple years I found that for hours after my ears were ringing enough that I knew damage must be happening. Once I got used to the feel of these they worked as advertised. I could hear the music fine but avoided the mega dbs that makes most ears numb. I would recommend these to anyone looking to hear beyond the age of 40!
A must for rock concerts! [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I bought this for a recent rock concert. It is supposed to modulate amplitude (loudness) without affecting frequency (pitch), and this pair of Hearos did that and more! I firmly believe I listened to a much better concert than other people because the Hearos seemed to also filter out unwanted reverberations. I removed the earplugs for a few seconds to determine if the lead vocalist sounded better with my ears unobstructed. What a heard was a screechier voice, instruments that sounded raucuous and nearly drowned out the singing, and a pounding sound that made my head ache. With the Hearos, the vocalist's voice sounded crisp, the instruments tight and distinguishable, and without the stadium echo that was too annoying even for a rock concert. From now on, I will always pack my Hearos for any arena concert event!
