Senner MusicPro - Reusable Hearing Protection Earplugs for Concert, Festival, Music and Club with Aluminium Container, Especially Light Ear Protectors to wear

Product Information

We are the first protection manufacturer of hearing-protection devices to introduce online ear measurement technology. So far I have only ever used Alpine MusicSafePro plugs with mostly the silver filter. I go to lots of metal gigs and so clarity and definition of sound is crucial otherwise it all sounds absolutely terrible. All those guitars and vocals occupying the same frequency spectrum is a challenge especially at high SPLs. The Alpines are great for protection but the sound is not great, very low mid heavy, they tend to leave around the 150-400Hz range relatively untouched which makes for a very "woolly", "honky" undefined sound that masks all detail for guitars and vocals.

Alas my quest continues (I think ill bite the bullet and go with custom molds eventually) however when these are inserted properly they sound incredible. As an example. If the noise that you want to suppress at 4000 Hz is at the level of 80 dB and the product APV suppresses 20 dB at 4000 Hz, the user’s resultant experience will be 60 dB (64 dB with allowances for user issues). Please Note that I am not an audiologist and if in doubt should always consult with a properly trained and fully qualified professional in all medical matters; including your hearing. dB (APV)The intensive attenuation (SNR 24 dB) enables very good attenuation of music, yet conversations are perceived normally As well, I would recommend to take them off during your favorite tunes to fully enjoy those as intended.

Cross-product test winner in the category “Hearing protection devices for staff and visitors of festivals, concerts, clubs“

I am focusing on the ‘Assumed Protection Value’ or APV (dB). The APV gives an indication of the amount of decibel (dB) reduction at any given frequency. The higher the APV, the better the protection at that hearing frequency range.This article provides a performance and protection comparison for the 2020 range of Senner earplugs. I first tested at home and noticed right away how comfortable the earplugs are, they sit tightly inside your ears and do not bother at all. Tested a bit with my headphones and noticed they were muffling the sound but keeping it almost at the same quality, except the highs, which started to sound clearly more recessed than lows and mids. Talking with people I could still hear them clearly as well, though not as loud as I should. SNR stands for “Single Number Rating” and is an average value for different frequencies, which was determined by independent German laboratories (EU notified body). The higher the SNR value, the greater the attenuation through the earplugs. The following is a brief comparison between BOLLSEN Music Sound PRO, Senner Musicpro and Alpine plugs.

ELEGANT, DURABLE ALUMINIUM CONTAINER for the keychain / pendant or carabiner. So you always have your earplugs with you at festivals. A waterproof rubber ring protects the earplugs from moisture, dust and foreign bodies. The SENNER ear defenders are also perfect as an airplane earplug. I have a feeling that any review 3 stars or lower that complains about sound quality and isolation has DEFINITELY not inserted these correctly properly as they are difficult. When you succeed in inserting these they sit very deep in your ear canal and so you get this vacuum suction type feeling which is weird but holy hell the sound is insanely good. With these filters, you can hear literally everything in the mix and concentrate on each instrument if you want to, which is mad. I have never been able to do that at a gig. Needless to say I had no ringing walking out of the gig. Perfect. The conically shaped design with 2 lamellae fits your ear and is ideal for small and medium-sized ears and for a prolonged use.

What is APV?

So another concert time, sludge metal this time. It was fairly good, again, while mids and lows sounded fine, highs did take a hit and sounded worse than without the earplugs. The earplugs indeed take away from the concert experience and that is the reason I'm not rating the five stars. I guess otherwise is impossible, but well, it is what it is. I will keep on using them, as I had a little bit of ringing when leaving the theater but nothing major, next day I was listening as always with no ringing at all and that is extremely nice. As well, being able to communicate with someone during the concert was close to impossible with them on, even between songs, as I had to briefly take them off. Furthermore, you can compare the various attenuations on different frequencies on these earplugs. These frequencies are standardized in the European Union and in Germany. We believe that consistent sound damping at high (H), medium (M) and low (L) frequencies contributes to preserving the sound quality.
