looking for earplug recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi Lemmy!

Loop Earplugs are too expensive. Does anyone have cheaper recommendations?

details

Details:

  • I have Loop Quiet to cope with situations with a lot of chatter, such as at the canteen, where it feels like everyone is shouting.
  • I bought a pair of Loop Engage because I dislike having to take my Quiets out to have conversations. They haven't arrived yet.
  • I've tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist's. They're extremely difficult to put in properly and get dirty after a few uses.

Check out:

https://www.sensaphonics.com/products/erseriesplugs (these are apparently what professionals use in the music business, like the people that make the magic behind the stage)

and

https://jhaudio.com/accessories/ACC-PLUG-CSTM-STD (these ones don't have any openings, so might be more difficult to converse, $75 cheaper tho)

I bought some pretty good reusable earplugs from Marks Work Warehouse a while ago, but it seems they don't carry them anymore. They're nifty little things that are all silicone with a tiny hole in the plug part that allows for sounds less than ~50dB (conversation levels).
