Hearing protection is your best policy against gradual hearing loss and a good way to ensure you will get to enjoy listening well into the future is by investing into a solid pair of earbuds.
Mobility and ease of use were an important factor for me in choosing these, as the case is really neat and you can easily store all the necessary accessories with you. The cord is useful for hanging the earbuds when not in use. All these little quality of life, ease of use things factor into you actually wanting to wear these and have them ready with you whenever the need arises. Simply put: the easier something is to use the more likely you will actually use it. This is where these plugs excel: they’re super easy to take along with you and the accessories are useful enough for different needs.
However, I have to admit the sound quality listening through these leaves room for improvement. My experience listening through these isn’t bad at all, just not very good either. The interchangeable parts offer some variation, however I’m yet to have found the one I feel the most comfortable with.
Overall wearing hearing protection is much better than wearing down your hearing altogether and despite the overall sound being less than desirable, it is still preferable to not hearing properly at all. The build quality is good, the accessories included are good and for what it’s worth I would recommend buying these. You can always order a custom moulded alternative later, however I’d still retain a pair of these in my gig bag just in case.
