## Description

Product Description ETY•Plugs® are the world’s highest fidelity non-custom earplugs. They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the clarity of speech and the richness of music. ETY•Plugs are configured to replicate the natural response of the ear canal so that when sound enters the earplug, it is reproduced unchanged, exactly the same as the ear would hear it, only quieter. Directions Insert gently into the ear canal for a tight seal; avoid use in impulse noise situations or for sleeping; clean periodically for reuse.

Review: Excellent value, would recommend to anyone serious about loud music and protecting their hearing. - If you're going to be exposing yourself to loud volumes of sound repeatedly and/or over a long period of time, it's essential to protect your hearing. I understand that Etymotic's earplugs are designed with the audiophile, gigging musician and audio professional in mind: they bring down the audible level of sound by about 20 dB in the mid-range, while cleverly rolling off at the less-dangerous low and high ends so as not to dull the sound. They come connected by a handy string, which when worn around your neck helps you not to lose them in the crowd. They are also comfortable to wear for long periods, and allow for conversation with people near you at normal volume. One problem I was worried about before buying was the plastic stem sticking out perpendicular to my ears – would it be possible for a flailing fellow dancer to whack the plug straight into my ear-canal? Thankfully there's no real chance of this; the design tends to protrude at a slight angle, and so far no harm's been done in even the most extreme mosh-pits. I have previously owned ER-20s by Elacin, to which these appear to be identical. However, I'm given to understand that the design is originally Etymotic's. Insomniacs and those with snoring partners should note that the protruding stems make these earplugs unsuitable for wearing to bed. Cheaper foam plugs like Hearos are more suitable.
Review: High quality noise reduction - This is probably the 5th or 6th pair I've bought. As a referee in a very noisy indoor sport - roller derby - hearing protection is vital. These are tons better than loops (which I also like but they're just not good enough for sport). They come with a strong cord too which means I can pop them out with no worry of losing them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does they work in the original Kindle**
A: These are perfect with the Original Kindle. No longer will you be bothered by those around you asking if you like the Kindle, or if that is the original kindle they had back in college. If you are using the original kindle, you are likely riding a loud city bus on the way back to the trailer park. And you NEED these plugs. Thanks!

**Q: I'm freaked out over how far they seemingly stick out. Is there any danger of having something bump into them and have the plug jam in your ear?**
A: I've actually had this happen. I was at a metal show and someone from a mosh pit fell into me and it somehow got jammed into my ear where I couldn't get it out with my fingertips and I had to wait to get home for my wife to extract it with needle nose pliers. It didnt go deep enough to cause damage but it sure was uncomfortable. I've used them 20+ times since and it hasnt happened again..

**Q: will this fit a five year old?**
A: Did you ever buy these for your five year old? If so, how did they fit? Did they work well?

**Q: do they come with the  cord to keep them attatched?**
A: They come with a plastic case that has a cord attached to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality noise reduction

These are tons better than loops (which I also like but they're just not good enough for sport). They come with a strong cord too which means I can pop them out with no worry of losing them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily washable
*by P***E on 30 March 2014*

Great reusable earplugs. Comfortable and block out the sound needed. I work in music venues and nightclubs on a regular basis so these were a perfect cheap solution. Reasonable price, easily washable and the cord that attaches to them is really useful and the right length to tie in a loose knot around my neck when I'm not using them. The attachable cord was the main dicing factor for me when purchasing as I easily loose earplugs. I gave this 4 stars as they could be more comfortable but they are well worth the price I paid.
