Foam earplugs muffle everything indiscriminately. They block high frequencies more than low ones, which means music sounds dulled and speech becomes hard to understand. BOLLSEN Music SoundPRO is a passive silicone earplug that brings the overall volume down to a safer level (SNR 24 dB). You still hear the music, just quieter. That distinction matters enormously when you need to communicate clearly in a loud environment.

Yes. This is actually the core difference between Music SoundPRO and standard hearing protection. The passive silicone design keeps speech audible because friends and conversation are loud and close to you, so they stay intact. Radio call, patient assessment, instruction to a colleague, conversation at a gig — you hear it clearly, just at a safer decibel level.

A typical festival main stage runs between 100 and 115 dB. The safe exposure limit for an 8-hour period is 80 dB. With 24 dB of attenuation, you bring a 110 dB environment down to approximately 86 dB, which is within a range where sustained exposure becomes manageable rather than damaging. That 24 dB figure has been independently verified by PZT GmbH, a Notified Body laboratory, across over 1,700 tests. It is not a marketing estimate.

It won’t sound like foam. This is a passive silicone earplug that brings the overall volume down to a safer level — you still hear the music, just quieter, without the underwater muffle of foam. A lot of music fans say it is far more comfortable to listen through than foam, because listener fatigue drops and the ear is not overwhelmed.

They are made from medical-grade silicone, which is softer and more flexible than the hard plastic used in most reusable earplugs. The fit is low-profile and sits flush with the ear rather than protruding, which reduces pressure during extended wear. Many event workers and musicians wear them across 8 to 12 hour shifts without discomfort. If you are concerned about fit, the AR KI TECH option gives you a size matched precisely to your ear canal from a photo analysis.

AR KI TECH is BOLLSEN’s AI-powered fit service. You upload two photos of your ears and the AI identifies your exact ear canal size. The correctly-sized earplugs are then shipped to you. It is optional but recommended if you have had issues with earplugs not sealing properly or falling out. A correct seal is essential for getting the full 24 dB of protection. Our return rate with AR KI TECH is 3%, compared to an industry average of 15 to 20%.

Each pair is rated for up to 100 uses. They are fully washable under running water. For someone attending regular events or working in live music venues, one pair typically lasts a full season or considerably longer. Compare that to single-use foam earplugs, where each pair costs roughly the same per use but ends up in landfill. Music SoundPRO is made from BPA-free, PVC-free, latex-free silicone and designed to last.

Wear Music SoundPRO to an event. If the protection, comfort, or sound quality falls short of expectations within 40 days of purchase, contact us for a full refund. No conditions, no hoops. We offer 40 days because we want you to test them across real events, not a single night.

Yes. Many people with existing tinnitus use Music SoundPRO specifically to prevent worsening during exposure to loud environments. The product reduces incoming sound levels consistently, which lowers the risk of further cochlear damage at events. It will not cure tinnitus, but it is a practical way to continue attending concerts and working in live music without accelerating the condition. If your tinnitus is severe, speak to an audiologist as well.

No. Music SoundPRO is designed to sit flush with the ear canal opening with a very small, transparent profile. From a normal conversational distance, they are essentially invisible. This matters for event workers who need to maintain a professional appearance, and for concertgoers who do not want to look like they are wearing industrial ear defenders. DJ UMEK wears them on stage. The discretion is part of the design intent.
