If you see much live music, it's worth picking up a pair too. If you rarely go, a pair of universal-fit plugs costs a tenth as much.
- dorfsmay 4y agoNot just percussion, I know violon players who do (same brand), because violins are very close to their player's ear, and hearing is really important to violin players.

- analog31 4y agoI'm a musician, and I wear the cheap ones. They actually work great. They're cheap enough that I can keep a pair in each instrument case. I do use them when listening to live music as well.
- MengerSponge 4y agoIf your ears are shaped well for the cheap ones, there's no real reason to spend the extra $200. But the fitted ones are comfortable to wear all day (literally).
- analog31 4y agoIndeed, I do well with Hearo's or ER20's, which are similar if not identical. Maybe they're a bit more visible than the fitted ones, but that's OK for the styles that I play -- mostly jazz and folk music.
