Earasers Earplugs Welcome Set

Slow shipping, hard to read tracking information, and quite invasive e-mail pushing - but the earplugs are probably pretty good ;-)

"We fulfilled your order from our store Earasers.Shop 14 days ago"...
Well, I got the package five days ago... I live in Belgium and they came from Holland. Took about eight days to get here. The track an trace information was very unclear, the shipping company should take a look at their competitor's websites to get an idea how to make theirs a little more user-friendly.

I must have had three or four emails asking for a review since I placed the order, even before the package was sent off they already asked for a review.
But I can't decently review the things, since I got them the day after a festival where I intended to test them... ordered them a week before.
Mind you, I'm not a fan of overnight delivery and such, I think people should sleep at night, not work ;-)

I tried them nonetheless, by pushing my stereo while listening to an underground rock radio show, and I have the impression they are better than the Ethymotic Research ERS20 or whatever they're called (can't find the package anymore), and better than the Alpine MusicSafe Pro. By "better" I mean they seem to render the sound in a more natural way, but they still cut out a lot of the higher frequencies. Given the higher frequencies are those which destroy your hearing and cause tinnitus, they are probably meant to act that way... All in all I found the sound to be pretty acceptable, even though losing the highs means losing a lot of definition. Probably the price to pay to protect your ears...
Conversation with my girlfriend across the table was no problem, even though the radio played really loud, but then again, it wasn't a "real concert" situation.

Ah, and something else: in the picture on their website, the "Welcome Deal" package includes a brush and a box of sticks which, as I understand, are meant to help you clean out the filters periodically. Neither were in the package I got, which seems like misleading advertising to me. I'll have to address that issue with the company I guess, but I've got other things to do with my time frankly.

So, to summarize: I guess they're the best earplugs I've had yet, but they should probably be as they cost at least double of what I've had before. I still have to test them in real concert or rehearsal situations though, so I can't tell with certainty.
Shipping seems to be slow here in western Europe, so you best order them well ahead of your next concert!
I might have given them four stars if it wasn't for what I've written above, but not five, given the high frequencies loss and the missing items in the package...

And another last point: they fit quite snugly in the ears when you've got the right size, so I guess I won't lose them even if I get into a crazy dancing frenzy, but forget about taking them out and putting them back in all the time when you've had a few drinks; the little stems you use to pull them out are really hard to find once they're in place! If you're the type to get slightly drunk (like me), forget about it!
I also think a kind of string securing them should be a welcome addition, as if you drop them in a concert/festival situation, you're very unlikely to find them given their transparent nature and minimal dimensions. But they won't fall out by themselves, they're a snug fit in the ear.

I'm an American Audiologist & I bought a pair for myself & a pair for my husband to wear to concerts and loud venues. I wore them to a metal concert & they worked like a charm and even fit snugly enough to allow free head movement without fear of dislodging. They are perfect for hearing the music without damaging hearing. Also, fantastic customer service & fast shipping.

Love these. This my 2nd pair. I use one for gigging and one for rehearsing. They're the best and most comfy ones I've used.

Perfect fit and amazing sound. Ordered this kit a few days ago and used them for my first time yesterday. Even when I'm in the music studio, these earplugs work perfect! Take some time to get the best fit in your ear, once it fits good the sound is amazing. Thanks Earasers!
