What are Etymotic ER20s and Alpine MusicSafe pros like compared to custom-molded earplugs?
Custom-molded earplugs are great, but cost several hundred dollars. They’re molded to the exact shape of your ear canal, so are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Some custom-molded earplugs offer different filters that can be used to block more or less sound, but again they’re very expensive to change. For a fraction of the cost, EarBuddies earplugs will give you a similar quality of sound, and are comfortable to wear. All of our earplugs come with a great keyring case that lets you easily carry your earplugs to events. Both types of the Alpine earplugs don’t stick out of your ear at all and are very discrete so you can DJ with them in or wear them under a helmet for motorcycling. The Musicsafe Pros also give you options about how much sound reduction you want, by coming with three interchangeable filters.
