FAQs

  • What sets Minuendo earplugs apart from others?
    Minuendo earplugs feature a unique membrane designed for a "second eardrum" effect, providing critical flat frequency response. This design allows for natural, lossless sound quality, making them ideal for musicians and live music fans.
  • How do Minuendo earplugs work?
    Minuendo earplugs utilize advanced technology to adjust and fine-tune the membrane tension effortlessly, allowing for varying attenuation levels without steps. This is achieved through precise control of thickness, volumes, and membrane tensioning, analyzed using the Finite Element Method.
  • Why is the adjustability of Minuendo earplugs stepless?
    Our earplugs feature stepless adjustability to provide seamless transitions between sound levels. This allows you to customize the sound attenuation to your exact needs without the abrupt jumps typically found in adjustable earplugs, ensuring optimal comfort and protection.
  • What does the “open” (-7dB) setting feel like on Minuendo earplugs?
    The “open” setting on our earplugs allows for a natural listening experience with moderate noise control. It's designed to reduce background noise to a comfortable level while still enabling clear conversations and awareness of your surroundings. This setting is perfect for environments where you want to blend protection with engagement.
  • What does "lossless" mean in the context of Minuendo earplugs?
    "Lossless" earplugs refer to the earplugs' ability to deliver sound transparently and naturally without altering the sound quality. Minuendo earplugs are designed to provide an open, airy listening experience, making them less noticeable compared to other earplugs.
  • Are Minuendo earplugs water resistant?
    Yes, they are water resistant and designed for extended wear. However, they should not be submerged in water, such as during swimming, to avoid potential damage.
  • How durable are Minuendo earplugs?
    With proper care, including regular cleaning and safe storage, Minuendo earplugs can last years. The silicone and foam ear tips are exchangable and replacement pairs are available in our web shop.
  • What are the recommended uses for Minuendo earplugs?
    These earplugs are perfect for: - Music practice, concerts, clubbing, or other live events - Motorsports and other loud sporting events - Enhancing sleep and reducing noise during travel - Construction sites or workplaces with loud machinery - Office work in open office environments - Assisting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in managing sensory sensitivities
  • Do Minuendo earplugs require batteries or other electronics?
    No, Minuendo earplugs are completely passive and do not play music. They are designed purely for hearing protection.
  • Are Minuendo earplugs suitable for use with on-ear devices like earmuffs or earphones?
    Yes, Minuendo earplugs are compact and fit well under most in-ear devices such as earphones or earmuffs, making them versatile for various settings, from studio recording to noisy work environments.
