Hey guys,

think this is a very important thing we must talk about.

Wanna buy some ear-plugs for dj´ing.

Found those:

Did someone make experience with those or others?

Nice thread!
This is a very important thing, as we only get one pair of ears.
I have some allright aids which I bought for like 14$ when I was in the USA..

But those ones you have there should be muuuch better.
I have seen some DJ's with similar ones... Eric Prydz for example ;)

Hey Mate,

I went to an Audiologist in my city and got a pair custom fitted a while ago.

They are some white-label product but I opted for -25db's. I haven't tried -15db's before, but I reckon -25's are way too quiet in the clubs. Ax apparently uses -15's so I might consider switching at a later date.

From what I've seen there are a handful of major suppliers around the globe and most Audiologists can access the key brands etc.

Rob

EDIT: If you really care about your hearing, it pays to get them custom fitted. Whilst generic plugs are better than nothing, everybody has different shaped ear canals. Therefore you should spend the extra $ and get an Audiologist to take the impressions.

Hello
I'm a new user in forum.

This subject has always been my interest.
Once Ingrosso remember that in an interview, told the reporter talk more altoporque he already had patrons and not heard very well what she was saying.
I got these tb's quote above (MusicsafePro), but not yet tried to play in clubs with them.

But I was really interested in knowing more about the custom made earplugs.
yet not I find information about these earplugs (companies, brands, models, prices, ...)
You can help me?

This is good, j.fox?

I opted for -15db filter for doing DJ sets and that works out fine!

Btw, mines are soft silicone ones, but you've also got hard silicone ones? Anyone experience with those?
