Worth the price

was initially pretty skeptical as these are more expensive than many other earplugs out there. However, after trying them, I found them to be worth the cost. The lever in particular just adds so much convenience.

Perfect for chaotic shows and very loud clubs

Used them for two concerts now, including a very aggressive bass show where there was violent moshing. They stayed in place the whole show and are very comfortable. Highly recommend these!

Excellent product... recommended to the rest of the band

I've been playing bass in a rock covers band for a number of years and this is the first time that my ears haven't rung after a gig. Lots of options available to get a perfect fit and very easy to adjust during a gig.

Worth every penny & a MUST have

FINALLY!! Earplugs that do the job and still let you hear & feel the music. Like them so much I bought another pair to keep in my other guitar case so I’ll always have them no matter what guitar I bring. Great piece of kit right here!

This changed everything and I can’t be more thankful for them

I’ve worn these things every day all day since I got them. I was battling thumping in my right ear and was fearing I may have to give up composing. The quality is great and my tinnitus ringing is reduced more than with normal plugs.

As a saxophonist, the occlusion effect is a huge issue when dealing with earplugs

The Minuendo plugs helped lessen this at the lower settings and still allowed me to feel more protected in some of the louder large format bands I play in. Also love the fact that I can dial back and still have a conversation.

Got them after I found my hearing affected from lack of ear protection

Tried a couple of different brands but they either just muffled everything or my ears would still hurt after practice. These reduced the sound without affecting the quality that I hear… all the frequencies get through in a really nice blend.

I am totally in love with this concept and am always happy to wear them.

It is a fascinating mechanism to explore and get the right level of being shut off. I hope that I won't lose it some day, because this would not be very cool to replace.
