Nice to see more companies taking this kinda concept seriously (altho if concerts weren’t obnoxiously loud it wouldn’t be necessary :D )
I wonder if some headphone reviewers will be able to measure the FR of these vs competitors like Vibes and Etymonic
Is there a price for these yet? Or expected release
$40 on amazon. Already available
Sennheiser SoundProtex Earplugs - Reusable Hearing Protection with 2 Interchangeable Filters - High Fidelity Sound at a Safe Volume Level - Black Grey https://a.co/d/8JmZwU8
Personally I have “loop experience plus” which I also got for $40 and wanted to compare the two. I’ve used them at concerts and love it
Loop Experience Plus Earplugs - High Fidelity Hearing Protection for Musicians, DJs, Festivals, Concerts and Nightlife – 18dB & NRR 7 Noise Reduction Ear Plugs – Extra Accessories Incl - Silver https://a.co/d/eQCjaD6
Nice thanks!!!
Did you use the loops with or without the extra blocker ring?
Depends on the situation.
At concerts, I don’t
When I’m at home and need some extra blocking, I do
I also have the loop quiet which I use more at home though to shut things up.
Small version with 2 different filters ~40€, big version with 4 different filters ~80€. All come without any kind of carry case / pouch. A bit expensive and lacking for that price tbh
Is the tang a functional part of the acoustics or just a place to grab it?
Either way it’s hideous.
Had earplugs with these tags like that before. The tags broke the first time I tried to pull the plugs out. Hope Sennheiser does better.
If you mean tag, yea functional to help pull out
Could’ve used this before my first child.
No, I mean tang. The part sticking out, slightly tapered, which appears to have no purpose besides a place to grab.
It’s ugly.
That’s a pretty important purpose though. I have Etymotic earplugs that are similar and without the pull tab it would be difficult to remove. These go in deep and don’t have much beyond the ear insert, so you’d have to dig your fingers into your ear and pull it out against the seal.
My Etymotic one actually has significantly more after the flanges than the Sennheiser, so it’s probably even harder with those. I’ll pick up a pair in a couple weeks once I’m back in my country, so if you’re very curious I can try to remember to swing back around here. Reasonably certain it’s important though.
I have been using earasers for years and they are the best but I’m curious about these
