maybe not the ideal forum to post in, but I currently have typical, musician/music ear-plugs with the wee interchangeable filters.
However, even with the filter for maximum protection, my left ear still rings quite badly after practise - it’s already fucked from years of playing, and rings constantly - but I’d really like to be able to give it more protection if possible.
Are there any earplugs out there that don’t have filters and are just solid - like the ones you’d wear in a factory or whatever - but not bright yellow, or made of foam!?
Or, any better quality plugs that might cost a bit more than usual that folk can recommend?

Been using Etymotic ER20's for years. Maybe check out their website see if they do a solid industrial type version.

I've just done it and very impressed with the service.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThey do cheaper aluminium ones but I have only tried the titanium ones

I got a set of the Read Audio plugs some time last year (might have been the year before) and they’ve been a revelation. They’re 3D printed from a hard resin (vs the ACS silicon) and I find them far more comfortable over the course of a gig, they offer a much more neutral attenuation with improved treble response, and I no longer have to stuff a finger in my ear to sing. In short, they’re just better. I was that impressed I convinced our singer to get a pair done and he’s a fussy git... and he loves them too.

it says you can't apply online any more, you need to call them to discuss whether they will send you an application now, so seems like they've cottoned on to everyone applying. I am nowhere near a professional musician, so doubt I would be accepted
Mine have the ER15 inserts which give the flattest frequency response across the frequency range.
Get them. No question.
Strangely I've found I prefer the ACS quite a bit, so never use the Reads. I've started a gig with the Reads in, and swapped back to the ACS after a few songs, which seem to give me better clarify. It's the opposite experience to the other comments on this thread, and I can't really account for it. Maybe my ears are weird, or maybe there are some manufacturing variances at play?

I currently have Shure 215 in ears

They are ok but i feel like the quality isn't great when i compare to my real amp sound.
Will the like of 1964 or Read in ear be much better or are you paying for the moulded perfect fit plugs?
Sorry to hijack the thread but its related
