Earplugs

[kosmo vinyl]

Know this has been discussed before but need some recommendations, figured that a little less sonic overload was in order.

I just got the earlove earplugs and they're nice.

I got the ones sweetcell recommend on here a few weeks ago. Been loving them. $12 Etymotic Research ones.

Kosmo, I have some extras you can have...

interesting - looks like earlove is identical to etymotics.  probably made in the same factory... completely unfounded guess.

[Chulahoma]

are these the ones that were recommended in the last ear protection thread?

bizou311: yes.  i bring mine to every show, love'em.

I like the Mack's silicone ones.  I think they're maybe $1.50-2 for a 4-pack or $4-5 for a 12-pack.  You can use them multiple times and then throw them away.

thanks. i just picked up a pair.

They came in very handy during !!! and raccoo-oo-oon.

i thought LCD was louder, and i was very thankful that i had my earplugs with me.  same for iggy... would have been painful without'em (actually, for iggy, i might have put in foam earplugs if i had had any on me - worse fidelity, but greater dB reduction.  the show was too much fun from up front, i didn't want to risk/couldn't be bothered to go to the merch desk and buy foamies).

 azaghal, how was raccoo-oo-oon?

[azaghal1981]

Noisy.  
 
 They were good but the set was very short. No longer than 40 minutes. Played a good mix of tracks from albums and what sounded like free-form improvisational stuff. I'd see them again.
 
 One of the openers was a guy named Evan Miller who is also well worth checking out. Great drone-based acoustic guitar with some throat-singing thrown in here and there.

I just use EAR ones.  Talked to Gus, he stopped with the fancy ones because he keeps losing them and then paying the $$ for new ones.  Foam work well for me, and the price is right.

i bought similar ones, albeit way more expensive, for my ipod. these days if i forget my other earplugs for concerts, i just use those. im sure i look like a total moron, but it does the job

Ditto.  Love them and bought them for my whole music posse.  Kosmo, I really do have an extra pair for you if you're interested (I bought a dozen, and a few friends already had them.)
