HEAROS High Fidelity review

HEAROS High Fidelity earplugs are the budget option in the triple flange style. The company says its attenuators reduce noise by as much as 20 decibels without distorting the range of sound, and the product carries an NRR 12 rating. The plugs are translucent silicone with transparent stems, so they are discreet, and the soft flanges are meant to conform to the ear for long wear. Each pair comes with a pocket-size keychain case. HEAROS sells Regular and Small sizes, in one-pair and two-pair packs, and one pair costs $19.99. That makes them a sensible starter pair for students in school bands or a spare to keep in a gig bag. The catch is less published detail on how evenly the attenuators cut across frequencies, a stem that sits further out than flush designs, and some pack sizes that were sold out on the HEAROS store when we checked.
