Review – Hearprotek earplugs

Go to concerts loud events or work on a building site this simple product can save your ears from harms way. A simple and affordable solution to save the ears is a good investment. These also can  be useful for sleeping and whilst they are not a product loaded with tech they do not provide a full ANC experience but more a passive noise cancelling one.

In my testing they do the job they are set out to do and ideal for DJs and concert goers more so where it can be extra loud and hard on the ears they can also be stored in the portable tin and clipped onto your bag or jeans with the carabiner clip which is handy and also be kept clean in the storage tin.

Whilst using these it must be noted no clarity is lost with the venue or event you are at and it can be heard in all its glory but they do dampen the loudness which in effect what the product is set out to do.If you go to concerts like I do and often hear your ears ringing afterwards this is what you need.

 

Check the video below and check them out.

  • 【Preserve High Fidelity Audio】 Hearprotek Music ear plugs do an effective job of bringing down the overall volume, blocking background noises at a comfortable level while preserving the sound clarity and sharpness. You won’t experience any muffling with these plugs as you would foam-based ones and you will be able to hear different sound frequencies and talk to people without having to worry of muffling.
  • 【20db Noise Reduction】 Comes with 2 sets of 20db ear plugs in different sizes (small & standard), cutting up an impressive 20db’s of sound volume which is a pretty good amount for a concert or band rehearsal, and you can always have your spare plug in case any plugs are fallen out unfortunately or missing.
  • 【Designed For Comfort】 Made of high quality silicone material that provides comfort from prolonged usage. If you have small ear canals, the small size of ear plugs are your best choice, they are designed to have an ergonomic curved body with two flange tip that follows the shape of your ear canal, which provides a snag and comfortable fit.
