Looking for recommendations for good ear protection during concerts. I want ear buds that don’t just muffle all the sound but limit higher unsafe frequencies while allowing you to still enjoy the music. I did a search and came up with a bunch of different kinds and varying reviews on amazon, I also asked my friend who is in the live audio business and he said I needed custom molded IEMs but that seemed a little over kill for me, even if it’s the best way.

This Site shows the common ones I’ve seen.

Thanks!

EDIT: thanks everyone for the reaponses, I will go through and look at each of the recommended solutioms works best for me.

    For reference, I have used equipment to tune home theaters to flat frequency responses, and designed speaker crossovers. Spreadsheets are fun, and sound is math.

    Like the other commenter recoed: Loops https://www.loopearplugs.com/.

    The loop is tuned for specific frequencies, and it actually works. My partner also uses them on job sites, and the soft ones are great for sleeping. I typically use the ones for loud places that help you hear voices.

    Regardless of where you live, you can buy them in your currency on Amazon if you can’t find a direct purchase: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=loop+earplugs

      I have loved by Loops for concerts. They keep all of the music but remove all of the screaming. I used them when I watched Taylor Swift which was all screams and loved it
