Great Products - Great Service
The Music Sound Pro earplugs are excellent! I play in a Samba band and these earplugs protect my hearing while still allowing me to hear what we are all playing. I can also hear what the leader is saying - so just perfect for my needs. There was a very small problem with my order (slight damage to the hygiene seal) and,when I made inquiries about it, the team at Bollsen dealt with the issue quickly and professionally ... and with kindness. Thanks Tom. So, a great experience all 'round for me.

I was about to give up on earplugs!
I had tried many different earplugs to reduce the wind noise on my motorbike. None had really fit well enough, turns out that I have large ear canals, nor reduced the noise to any acceptable level. I tried Bollsen just as another option with expectations a bit low. However, due to their hollow, cone shaped design they fit really well in my ears and reduce the wind roar. I have bought a second pair now! Would thoroughly recommend if your having the same troubles that I did.

Bollsen is an excellent company!
Bollsen made the interaction of purchasing and receiving the hearing protection plugs a real pleasure. The shipping was fast and the communication was great and the product is fantastic. I use them for my drums and going to concerts as they only take away some of the loudness, but not the range of highs and lows… This is my second time purchasing these
