So far I have only ever used Alpine MusicSafePro plugs with mostly the silver filter. I go to lots of metal gigs and so clarity and definition of sound is crucial otherwise it all sounds absolutely terrible. All those guitars and vocals occupying the same frequency spectrum is a challenge especially at high SPLs. The Alpines are great for protection but the sound is not great, very low mid heavy, they tend to leave around the 150-400Hz range relatively untouched which makes for a very "woolly", "honky" undefined sound that masks all detail for guitars and vocals.

As an example. If the noise that you want to suppress at 4000 Hz is at the level of 80 dB and the product APV suppresses 20 dB at 4000 Hz, the user’s resultant experience will be 60 dB (64 dB with allowances for user issues). This article provides a performance and protection comparison for the 2020 range of Senner earplugs.HYPOALLERGENIC MATERIAL: the Senner earplugs SennerSoftTouch has been tested by independent German laboratories and is suitable for long periods of wear. No itching or pressure pain. Ideal for all day wear at festivals and long band rehearsal. Senner Musicpro, the optimal hearing protection for concerts or as hearing protection for musicians. ELEGANT, DURABLE ALUMINIUM CONTAINER for the keychain / pendant or carabiner. So you always have your earplugs with you at festivals. A waterproof rubber ring protects the earplugs from moisture, dust and foreign bodies. The SENNER ear defenders are also perfect as an airplane earplug. I first tested at home and noticed right away how comfortable the earplugs are, they sit tightly inside your ears and do not bother at all. Tested a bit with my headphones and noticed they were muffling the sound but keeping it almost at the same quality, except the highs, which started to sound clearly more recessed than lows and mids. Talking with people I could still hear them clearly as well, though not as loud as I should.

The following is a brief comparison between BOLLSEN Music Sound PRO, Senner Musicpro and Alpine plugs. So another concert time, sludge metal this time. It was fairly good, again, while mids and lows sounded fine, highs did take a hit and sounded worse than without the earplugs. The earplugs indeed take away from the concert experience and that is the reason I'm not rating the five stars. I guess otherwise is impossible, but well, it is what it is. I will keep on using them, as I had a little bit of ringing when leaving the theater but nothing major, next day I was listening as always with no ringing at all and that is extremely nice. As well, being able to communicate with someone during the concert was close to impossible with them on, even between songs, as I had to briefly take them off. The conically shaped design with 2 lamellae fits your ear and is ideal for small and medium-sized ears and for a prolonged use. We all know it – the endless search for the best product at the best price. It is the combination of excellent customer service and unique performance. For decades, we have tested a wide variety of products every day and after countless attempts, we have developed the perfect earplugs, which are one of the best-selling earplugs in Europe. Cross-product test winner in the category “Hearing protection devices for staff and visitors of festivals, concerts, clubs“properly as they are difficult. When you succeed in inserting these they sit very deep in your ear canal and so you get this vacuum suction type feeling which is weird but holy hell the sound is insanely good. With these filters, you can hear literally everything in the mix and concentrate on each instrument if you want to, which is mad. I have never been able to do that at a gig. Needless to say I had no ringing walking out of the gig. Perfect. Alas my quest continues (I think ill bite the bullet and go with custom molds eventually) however when these are inserted properly they sound incredible. SNR stands for “Single Number Rating” and is an average value for different frequencies, which was determined by independent German laboratories (EU notified body). The higher the SNR value, the greater the attenuation through the earplugs.

The earplugs from BOLLSEN Hearing Protection add huge value to your everyday life, so that the noises that our ears perceive as negative are reduced by the patented filter technology. The earplugs Music Sound PRO are ideal for: As well, I would recommend to take them off during your favorite tunes to fully enjoy those as intended.I am focusing on the ‘Assumed Protection Value’ or APV (dB). The APV gives an indication of the amount of decibel (dB) reduction at any given frequency. The higher the APV, the better the protection at that hearing frequency range.

Furthermore, you can compare the various attenuations on different frequencies on these earplugs. These frequencies are standardized in the European Union and in Germany. We believe that consistent sound damping at high (H), medium (M) and low (L) frequencies contributes to preserving the sound quality. Please Note that I am not an audiologist and if in doubt should always consult with a properly trained and fully qualified professional in all medical matters; including your hearing. dB (APV) I have a feeling that any review 3 stars or lower that complains about sound quality and isolation has DEFINITELY not inserted these correctly We are the first protection manufacturer of hearing-protection devices to introduce online ear measurement technology. of customers surveyed are satisfied with the performance of our Filtertechnologie filter technology and have noticed an improvement of tinnitus symptoms.These are great. I use them all the time for brass band practice and can actually hear what I'm playing (cornet) over the basses. They cut out a lot of echo from the horrible acoustics of the hard walled & floored bandroom, They are comfortable and I can hear what other people are saying and playing. They don't seem to alter the pitch of the music and my perception of my own speaking voice isn't substantially changed, as it it with other (safety dept issued) general purpose ear plugs They are robust, easy to put in and I can hear when I get home. They live in their little metal container in my instrument case and get wiped over occasionally. I have the narrow case and haven't had any problems getting them out of it ( - just tap it lightly). A tip for putting them in - try pulling the outer ear (pinna) outwards and slightly upwards to straighten the ear canal and then gently insert them quite deeply into the ear, just until they are comfortable, with a slight twisting movement, leaving them a moment to settle before letting go of your ear. The intensive attenuation (SNR 24 dB) enables very good attenuation of music, yet conversations are perceived normally
