Best ear plugs for both sound quality and reduction


Any recommendations for ear plugs used mainly for live music? Not alot of info on the interwebs. 
Etymotic, Eargasm, Vibes, Hears all seem OK but like anything audio, it's about fit. (In this case literally) Other solution is getting a custom one made from an audiologist.

I use the Loop Ear Plugs.  They are popular with my concert going friends.  Inexpensive and do the job.  They come with a variety of swappable size adaptors.  Cheers

I used to use Kleenex until I realized the sound in concerts is terrible and too loud and I do not like looking at musicians... I like listening to music, and for rock and amplified concerts it sounds much better at home. I haven't gone to an amplified concert in over fifteen years. 

 

Like others have mentioned, customed fitted by an audiologist are your best option. I have Westone with three attenuator selections.

 

 

Thanks for all the input. I agree that a custom fit is the best option. I may order something in the meantime to have on hand, like the loop or etymotic off the shelf. 

By all accounts custom-fit are the best, but for an inexpensive option, I've been very happy with the Etymotic ER20. I've been wearing these at live concerts for years. I haven't tried others, but I've been very happy with the level of attenuation as well as the frequency balance that they provide.  Pro tip: Keep a pair in your car so you're always prepared.
