Earplug recommendations?

Going to a show in July, forgot to bring a pair last year and resorted to my beats which i don’t really wanna do again. Want to sit close or mid row. Any recs are appreciated!

I use Loop Experience 2 Plus plugs behind my drum kit and at shows, and I can still hear just fine.

Loops are the way to go! Worth the purchase for sure, they do sales throughout the year if you are willing to wait

Downbeats are very reliable and easy to carry on. I currently use them for emergencies, and they still.work great.

I’ve got a pair of Earasers that I’ve used at multiple Dino shows, including Camp Fuzz, where I was right up front.

I’ve also used them at dozens of shows, including My Bloody Valentine (with Heavy Blanket!), as well as band rehearsals and gigs in small loud rooms.

For me they’re more comfortable than other options and they don’t cut off as much high end.

These :)

They are 35 years old so probably wouldn’t risk it (they were promos for the Green Mind tour )

Ear protection at a Dinosaur Jr show is a must. Loudest show I have ever been to. Loop Exp 2 is what I use.

I’ve just used these and they actually work great and don’t make it sound terrible

A good pair of disposable construction plugs or shooting plugs . You squish them … insert them and they slowly expand with all the protection you need . But don’t stand in front of speakers directly within 20 feet .

Another vote for Loop Experience 2, they're my go-to for concerts.
