Customer Review: Another good etymotic product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a musician and music enthusiast and I think that these earplugs do exactly what they claim to do. Without actually testing the attenuation over the frequency spectrum (which i am less concerned about), I will say that I tried them in a variety of real world situations and i was very pleased. I will outline below.
In a relatively loud bar setting with live music playing:
I was able to hear the music clearly and at a more reasonable level, which i really appreciated because as a musician, hearing the band accurately and without pain makes the experience much more pleasurable. I did find it a little bit hard to hear a conversation across the table, but they were speaking at a normal volume.
In a dance club, aka very loud music atmosphere:
Out with friends last weekend in Chicago, i tried these out in a club atmosphere and I walked out of the bar after several hours and did not have the typical muffled hearing and ringing in my ears, which made me feel a lot better about actually spending time in that loud of a location.
At work with normal distracting office noise:
I manage an accounting department at a small freight company, and i get easily distracted when there is an abundance of office noise and conversations happening around me, which makes it hard to concentrate and be productive. I have used foam earplugs to alleviate this, but they work almost too well in that i cannot hear people come up behind me or start talking behind me at normal voice levels. With the etymotics, i could hear people speaking pretty clearly, but it took out a lot of the low level white noise that can be fatiguing after long periods of time. I was quite pleased, and i didnt have to take them out if someone did need to speak to me.
I think the "stalks" are a little long, but i am sure it was engineered this way to be the most effective. I wore them at a club in a dark environment and nobody commented on them, so i must assume that they are not THAT noticeable. Regardless, i was not losing my hearing and they were, so that is enough to get over the cosmetics. I would like to try these at a rock concert but i havent had the opportunity yet.
Overall, i think this is another great product from Etymotic. I also have some of their lower level in-ear monitors, which i like/liked pretty well.
Description of Etymotic Research ER20 High-Fidelity Earplugs (White with Blue Stem)
ETY-Plugs (TM) earplugs use patented technology that replicates the natural response of the ear canal so that sound heard with these earplugs is as clear as the original, just quieter. ETY-Plugs earplugs have nearly the same fidelity as Etymotic's Musicians Earplugs (TM) (custom earplugs worn by professional musicians) and are a low cost alternative. Hearing loss is a function of exposure time, the average sound level, and the peak level of very loud sounds. Exposure to excessive noise can cause permanent hearing loss depending on the intensity and duration of the sound. Some persons are more susceptible to hearing loss from high-level sound than others. Protect your ears. In high-noise environments, wear Ety-Plugs. Includes one pair of Ety-Plugs, carrying case, black neck cord and instructions.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
