FAQs

Are NPR MUSIC SPECIAL EDITION & MUSIC PRO earplugs different?

The NPR MUSIC SPECIAL EDITION and MUSIC PRO earplugs are identical in every way aside from the special edition custom branded carrying case. Both include our triple patented Contour earplugs™ and PRO filter technology, providing the same premium sound clarity and protection.

What makes EARPEACE the best concert ear plugs for live music?

EARPEACE earplugs are industry-trusted and have been protecting peoples hearing at music events for over 15 years. Our filter technology delivers mastered attenuation, reducing volume evenly while preserving sound clarity. Made from soft, hypoallergenic silicone and designed for all-day comfort, EARPEACE lets you enjoy the full music experience—safely and distortion-free.

How do music earplugs protect your hearing at loud events?

High-fidelity filters reduce harmful volume while maintaining the integrity of instruments and vocals. At concerts often exceeding 100 dB, they help prevent noise-induced hearing loss (e.g. tinnitus) and offer much safer listening levels.

Will these earplugs cause muffled sound or affect music quality?

Nope! Unlike foam earplugs that just block sound, EARPEACE filters allow crisp, clear tones—like turning down master volume. Audience chatter gets quieter while the music and detail stay vibrant.

Are they comfortable for hours-long wear?

Absolutely. Constructed from silicone, EARPEACE earplugs are soft, hypoallergenic, and designed for secure comfort. Our customers comment wearing them at festivals, concerts, and rehearsals all night with zero ear fatigue.

Great hearing protection!

I work in production, and love the quality of these earplugs. I’m currently working a stage at Austin City Limits, and these are doing the trick to protect my hearing. The convenience of the little carrying case is great, they stay on my keys so I always have them with me.

I also got the connector cord, and it’s a really tight fit, but the earplugs and cord will both squeeze into the carrying case.

Fantastic Product - Fantastic Support

I use ear protection while motorcycling, and I can wear these comfortably all day. Pop out the filters, clean them in soapy water and head out again.

Subsequent to my purchase, I had several fitment questions and Amber replied with what I needed each time within the hour.

The inexpensive, silicone connector cord tether is a must for me, as I lose everything and these are tiny. Depending on what you're purchasing, the tether will trigger free shipping as well!

Marching band support? NPR Edition? These folks had me at hello!
