Saved our hearingAfter receiving these we attended a concert that was so loud half of the city was kept up. With these in we left without ringing in our ears that so often accompanies these rock concerts but without getting in the way of the music. These did come loose a couple times but this has more to do with small ear canals than the earplugs. These were an ear and headache saver and I’m so glad I purchased these.

Eras Tour Approved!!!I was SO glad I chose Bollsen to protect my hearing. Taylor Swift puts on a incredible(ly loud) show! I wore these for the entire 3.5 hours and didnt have any ringing in my ears afterwards. My only issue is I have mildly fat fingers and sometimes they would get stuck on my fingers, so I brought a Q-tip to help keep them in place. Loved them!

Suprisingly goodI have tried literally every earplug that I see. usually they are as if you are totally deaf, or you can hardly notice the difference. These worked well- as i play in a band and i felt that it really helped reduce noise while keeping some clarity. Only quibble is that they began to hurt a little after 3 hours! but that's standard

Excellent earplugsGreat earplugs! Wore to a metal concert - I could hear clearly and didn't feel that the sound quality was affected at all, and no tinnitus afterwards. Easy to insert and comfortable. They didn't have any strange effect like some earplugs do which accentuate closer sounds like your own singing etc, so that was also beneficial.

Great product, fit, & price!I wore my new ear pro for about 6 hours 2 days in a row at a festival and was worried that I would experience pain in my ears I normally get from extended use but this was not the case! These were very comfortable, felt like they were barely there. I could still hear what people were saying next to me and did not have to worry about major ringing at all afterwards. These are a huge upgrade from my former military issued ear pro and the carrying case is sleek and near perfect as well. The price is fair when comparing to Eargasm and Loop. Will absolutely buy another pair when these are worn out.

Sound adviceThe most comfortable plugs I’ve purchased. I have tried 5 different brands and these are by far the best. No sign of tinnitus after 2 hours of band rehearsal, can hear what I’m playing easily as well.

Great EarplugsJust purchased SoundPRO earplugs after I lost my existing set which were moulded to my ears (handed L&R) The new ones feel really comfortable and not handed so won’t be a problem when inserting them on a dark stage. The conical shape looks and feels like they will allow just the correct level of sound from my bass and the rest of the band unlike my previous set where I sometimes used only one.

Great Products - Great ServiceThe 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.

Thanks for the persistence and the products!Human error (Mine? Maybe!) crept into my recent order, an address mixup, Greenland for Greenfield. I actually tried to find my street address on Greenland, but the number didn't exist on that street - yet the delivery company delivered the earplugs somewhere, even providing pictures. I explained this to someone male who works for Bollsen, and he worked through the issue satisfactorily, just in time for me to go to a Neil Young tribute show! In other words, I have my earplugs, and I love them. Incidentally, my wife also sings her praises to Bollsen earplugs for sure - she says she can hear the music but not the noise. Bravo!

Great customer serviceGreat customer service. I could not have asked for more. My first pair of earplugs didn't do the job as my ear canals were too narrow so a new pair were sent to me without hesitation. Thank You

FAQ · Music SoundPRO concert earplugs
Questions? Answered.
Straight answers about Music SoundPRO, from sound quality to the 40-day guarantee.
Will the music still sound good with earplugs in?
Yes, just quieter. Music SoundPRO is rated SNR 24 dB and takes a little more off the high end than the low end (H 24, M 21, L 19 dB), so the harsh treble and the sting go first. You still hear the band and you still feel the bass. It isn’t a flat filter, so the sound is slightly warmer than without plugs. Our guide to high-fidelity earplugs explains the difference.
How is it different from foam earplugs?
Foam seals everything out, so the music turns to mush and most people take them out after a song or two. Music SoundPRO is soft two-lamella silicone that turns the volume down to a level you can keep in all night. It’s reusable for about 100 nights out, sits flush in the ear and lives in an aluminium case on your keyring.
Which size is right for me?
Music SoundPRO comes in one standard size, made for medium ear canals, and it suits most people. If earplugs usually fall out or press, add the AI ear measurement: upload a photo of each ear before checkout, or later from the link we email you, and we send the size that fits.
Will they stay in while I dance?
They’re made to stay put. The soft silicone fills your ear canal and moves with you through dancing, sweating and turning to talk. If one keeps loosening, the size is probably off: the AI ear measurement finds your fit from two photos.
Can I still talk to my friends?
Yes. With the music turned down, voices close to you are often easier to follow than without plugs, because your ears aren’t overloaded. You don’t need to take them out to order a drink.
When should I wear hearing protection?
Whenever you have to raise your voice to be heard. Hearing experts (NIOSH) treat 85 dB as safe for 8 hours, and every 3 dB more halves that time. Pubs, clubs and festivals often run at 95 to 110 dB for hours. Noise damage builds up and doesn’t heal, so the earlier you protect your ears, the better.
Why do musicians use them?
Musicians need to keep playing and hear themselves and the room. Music SoundPRO brings the level down without sealing you off the way foam does, and the soft silicone stays comfortable through a long set or rehearsal.
How do I put them in?
Put the earplug on your fingertip, gently pull your ear up and back, and push it in while turning it slightly. It should close the ear canal without being pushed in deep. Pull the tab to take it out.
Why do my ears ring after a loud night?
Ringing after a gig is a sign your ears took more sound than they could handle. It usually settles within a day. If it doesn’t settle, or keeps coming back, see a GP or an audiologist. Earplugs lower the dose, which is the part you can control.
How long do they last?
Each pair is made for about 100 nights out. That works out at about 30p a gig for one pair, or 16p in the 4-pack. Rinse them with warm water after use, let them dry, and keep them in the case on your keyring.
