It took me only one gig with an earplugs to start using them religiously, carrying them with me at all times on my keychain, same way you mentioned.
Once you put them out during a gig and hear just how LOUD the place is, is really a strange sensation.
I think it is fairly common now, at least with those who go to concerts regularly. Now I see most of the people wearing them, and some places even offer free ones on the bar counter.
- tetha 3y agoI would recommend getting good plugs though. Bad cheap plugs make you hear nothing. On the other hand, I have some Senner Earplugs. Those are amazing - they take away a lot of sound pressure at lower freqencies, but let most higher frequencies through. This way, you can still hear toplines, vocals, melodies clearly, but the bass + drums don't kill your ears.
- zigman1 3y agoYep, I agree. That's another thing that is fascinating at first when you start using earplugs. You actually hear the instruments better, almost as an isolated track
- eptcyka 3y agoAudio engineers wear earplugs for the soundcheck. If you want to listen to a gig the way it was engineered to sound, you should wear a pair too.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoI want the reverse: earplugs that effectively block kids crying or even just talking, but are still comfortable to wear for 8 ~ 14 hours on a plane.
