Sounds like they weren’t musicians earplugs after all. What brand? I’ve been using some Etymotic plugs for a while now and I like em for concerts. Gotta protect those ears!
Agreed, 100%. Etymotic plugs are fantastic for concerts, because they're not cutting out the treble and mid while leaving the bass largely untouched. And that's the real problem with most earplugs; they do really well with higher frequency sound, and poorly with lower frequency sound.
Been rocking a set of ER-20xs for years now and I’d not see live music without them. It’s like having your own personal volume knob. I can put them in and get right near the speakers without blowing my ears out, or hang out by the sound guy with them only partially inserted.
They were etymotic too, same brand as the filters in my molded ones. But they didn't do very well for me. Its been a long time so maybe the new ones are better.
