Please can you tell me what they are called? I think I'd find them very useful.

- lorenzhs 9y agoI use 3M ClearE-A-R (UF01021), they're transparent and cost about 3€ for a reusable, washable pair on Amazon Germany. It does change the sound but I think that's inevitable (EDIT: for this price range, at least)
- MrMid 9y agoI would not say it's inevitable. As a musician, I use Elacin filters with custom moulds, and these are great. There is no noticeable change in the sound itself, you just hear the sound at lower volume and more clearly, without most of the echoes. These are pricey though (around 200 EUR), but definitely cheaper than hearing loss.
- thaeli 9y agoI've also used he Etymotic "ETY Plugs" which are more expensive (about $12/pair) but are designed for flat frequency pass-through. They give moderate sound reduction without changing the sound.
- j_s 9y agoI think the key word on the low-ish end is "High Fidelity"; these run appx. $15: Etymotic https://amzn.com/dp/B0015WJQ7A https://amzn.com/dp/B0015WJQ7A Hearos https://amzn.com/dp/B000V9PKZA https://amzn.com/dp/B000V9PKZA
- cheschire 9y agoThese are the earplugs I used. I'm not sure if there are better or worse out there. The price point was low enough that I just bought them without a lot of research and they worked perfectly. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00LENN4P0/ https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00LENN4P0/
