Customer Review: One could say these are the "clear" choice
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone to a number of concerts in my days. One thing that always bothered me was the ringing that persisted for a few hours after such amazing events. It had even gotten to the point that it was bothering me trying to sleep.
I would have to say that etymotic products, in general, have a learning curve for comfort. It took me a while to get used to listening to music through the Er-6i's, but in reality it was because my ears were not adjusted to having such low amounts of background noise and the pure audio.
After that learning curve, i progressed into their other products, and eventually stumbled on the er20's. This seemed like a relatively inexpensive way to boost the enjoyment from loud events. I went to a "taste of chaos tour" concert, some of the bands i really didn't enjoy, and some i enjoyed a ton. I'm so glad I had these ear plugs in for the concert. I took them out a couple times just to see how loud everything was, and I don't understand how it's legal to destroy people's hearing like that. Don't get me wrong though, I totally agree with rockin' the F out. After the concert, I took the earplugs out and everybody was practically screaming at each other just to maintain a conversation because their hearing was shot.
Another great thing about these earplugs is that they are completely reusable. The part that goes in your ear is rubbery flanges that can be removed to be washed, and the other part is plastic tubing that creates the uniform reduction of sound. Most earplugs have a lot more attenuation on the upper frequencies, which means you cant really hear the music (or speech, or anything) anymore. Also, the cheap 99 cent foam ear plugs get sweaty, waxy, and generally uncomfortable after long periods of time. It makes sense to spend a little more once, and have something that is good for many concerts to come. If you are worried about how far they stick out of your ear, I would say they stick out enough that you couldn't lay your head on a pillow on its side comfortably, but it doesnt stick out past what most peoples ear stick out. They also have clear ones if you are worried about it.
Etymotic is a fantastic brand, and these earplugs just make sense to invest in for the future of your hearing.
Description of Etymotic Research ER20 High-Fidelity Earplugs (White with Red 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
