Senner ® MusicPro Soft | Ear Protection for Concerts, Music, Disco, Festivals - Extra Soft Earplugs, Blue/Transparent - with Aluminum Case

After being to many concerts and suffering with dulled hearing and ringing in my ears, I decided to try these. What a difference!! I could hear the music and could have a conversation with people around me without any problem, they were easy to fit and comfortable to wear. Best of all I didn't have any ringing in my ears afterwards.

I previously bought some Etymotics but bought these as the Etymotics have that huge plastic rod sticking out of the middle which looks (and feels) a bit odd. They also block out more sound than these and I wanted lighter protection to lose as little audio quality as possible. I’ve used these now at both a gig (Alabama 3 if you’re interested) and to rehearse with a four piece rock band in a small studio. Did a good job in both cases - taking the edge off the loudness while not muffling the quality too much - and I could hear conversations easily as well. You could still tell the decibel level was quite high at the gig, so I felt I could enjoy dthe sensation of a loud gig without worrying about ear damage. They fit very discreetly so I now feel I am protecting my 53 year old ears without looking a bit weird and without making a fuss. The only thing that did occur to me was that taking them in and out at a gig is a bit risky - they’re so small that if you dropped them they’d be gone. I guess the answer is not to take them out, or just take care if you want to check what you’re hearing/not hearing. The metal case is quality too, though I actually put these in my old Etymotics case for the gig as I didn’t want a little bomb-shaped metal thing in my pocket. They insert very easily (helps if you moisten them very slightly) and the little rubber tab is just the right size to pull them out. I would say I have smallish ears though so they may not fit every ear so well. Some may want more protection - in some ways the gig still ‘felt’ quite loud. But these are very clearly branded as on the light end of protection, so on the whole I would happily give these 5*.

I am Autistic and bought this product to help with my sensory issues. I wanted something that would tone down day to day noise without blocking too much out. Unfortunately they didn't fit my ears correctly and wouldn't stay in place. I got the medium set and perhaps the large set might have been perfect but the sizing was all written in German so I had no idea what size I was ordering.Comfort: 10/10. These are much softer and more delicate feeling in the ears than others I've tried meaning they should cut right down on ear soreness if worn regularly. I don't know if the softness contributed to them not staying in place but given that most people are very happy with them I assume it was purely a size issue for me.Ease of use: 9/10. They are very easy to insert and the little tab makes them easy to remove although a few millimeters more length on the pull tab would be perfect.Sound: These kept the sound clearer than my Auritech and Vibes ear plugs but at the same time they didn't reduce the decibels quite as much.For general use I'd choose the Senner earplugs for better sound and comfort but for anything extremely loud I'd probably take a backup set incase the reduction isn't enough but then again I'm autistic so my hearing is more sensitive than usual.Overall I'd definitely recommend these if you can get the right size.

I got these mainly for using in the office to try and drown out chatter when I have to focus on getting work done! I also have used them on the train as some of the on train announcments are very loud.As the description also said they can be used for long periods of time and in bed I tried them overnight. I found them very comfortable to wear, you don't even notice they are in. When in bed I was sleeping on my side and there was no discomfort, however, it did start to feel a bit uncomfortable after about 8hrs. When they are in the ear they don't stick out and you can hardly see them.I've used other plugs that are harder and would end up being quite uncomfortable to wear for any extended period of time, unlike the Senner soft plugs.They are easy to put in and take out. There is a small grip attached to assist in taking them out but I found you don't always need to use it. If you position the plug with the grip at the top it is easier to get a hold of. They fit well in my ear and the seal seems to improve once they warm up.The small container they come in is handy as you can attach them to a keyring so that they are always available, particularly handy when using public transport!The 18dB protection is good for most noise I'm exposed to, the plugs lower the noise and you can still hear conversations, announcements etc. to a certain extent.So to summarise, they are a great product, they lower noise to a safe level and are very comfortable to wear.

I’m being quite harsh here, but this product is specifically advertised for musicians and for listening to music. They’re great for blocking out noise, whilst still being able to hear speech in a noisy environment. The problem is the music sounds like you’re listening through the wall from next door. They do alter the sound profile quite a lot, enough that it does affect your enjoyment of the performance. They are however very comfortable to wear so if you’re not too fussy about the sound they are far better than other similar products I’ve used.
