EARPEACE MUSIC PRO is built for people who go to a lot of different shows. When you order, you choose one PRO filter: Max at 24 dB (SNR), which EARPEACE suggests for clubs and arenas, High at 20 dB for outdoor concerts and festivals, or Medium at 16 dB for happy hours and acoustic shows. The filter uses a multi-layer acoustic membrane that EARPEACE says keeps clarity at a lower volume. The plugs use the brand's patented Contour Earplug shape, described as a near-custom fit, and the box includes three small and three standard silicone earplugs plus an aluminum case. That spare set is useful if you lose one in a crowd. The catch is that each pack ships with only one filter strength, and more PRO filter sets cost extra. For a cheaper start, the MUSIC earplugs at $31.95 include three filter sets but use a simpler double-cone universal fit. At $42.95 the PRO model costs more than Etymotic, but it gives you more control over the sound.

Who it is for

Regular showgoers who want to match the filter strength to the venue.
